As someone who often deals with unexpected power outages, I've learned that backup power can make all the difference. That's why I've always had a passion for portable power stations — and one of the best units I've tested so far is sporting a discount that's simply irresistible.I'm talking about the EcoFlow Delta 2. This reliable and compact powerhouse is currently $200 off at Amazon, allowing you to get it for just under $500 instead of nearly $700. That's not the unit's lowest price ever, but given all the value it brings to the table, I'd still recommend it without hesitation.Having used this unit firsthand, I've absolutely fallen for it. Believe it or not, it's still my favorite power companion despite having tested many other units since then. But what makes it stand out? Let's get into detail.First and foremost, the unit boasts a truly remarkable number of outlets: 15. Yep, you're getting six AC outlets (four on the European model), two USB-C ports, four USB-As, two DC5521 ports, and a single car charging port. That's a lot!Then, you have a 1,024Wh capacity and 1800W continuous output, which is more than enough to run your coffee maker, vacuum cleaner, or even some power tools. During my time with it (check out the EcoFlow Delta 2 review for reference), I was able to get 10 laptop charges and over 13 smartphone charges, as well as a solid 19 hours when running a small TV.But that's not all — the Delta 2 has expandable capacity. You can connect it to a compatible extra battery to boost capacity up to 3kWh, which gives you much more reliability even in the worst scenarios.Last but not least, you can easily control this station through the EcoFlow app. Among other things, you can adjust the AC charging speed through the app, which is great for optimizing long-term battery health. You can also use solar input (up to 500W) to recharge it or simply juice it back to 100% from your vehicle.The bottom line: the EcoFlow Delta 2 is a great choice for emergencies, RV trips, or just having reliable power around the house. And now that it's $200 off at Amazon, it offers even better value for money.

New iPhone 17 Air battery leak might make you reevaluate the Galaxy S25 Edge
If you've been expecting Apple to outclass Samsung in terms of battery size in the newly established ultra-thin flagship phone category this year, then... you've probably not paid much attention to the iPhone 17 Air rumors floating around these last few months. The first-of-a-kind iOS handset expected to go up against the Galaxy S25 Edge starting next month has long been tipped (by more than one source) to pack a sub-3,000mAh cell, and now there's cold hard evidence supporting that theory. Obviously, no one knows the answer to that question (for sure) at the moment, but the freshly leaked images purporting to show the phone's battery paint quite a spectacular picture. Unfortunately, they also make it virtually impossible for the iPhone 17 Air to break the aforementioned 3,000mAh cell capacity barrier, with the exact number instead being very likely to sit at "approximately" 2,900mAh. That's a crazy thin battery by any standards. | Image Credit -- Majin Bu All this information comes from an insider who's been right about some things in the past and wrong about a few others, so it's not technically etched in stone just yet. But there's rarely (this much) smoke without fire around an unannounced product in the rumor mill, so you can probably say that the iPhone 17 Air is essentially guaranteed now to pack a considerably smaller battery than its direct rival. Yes, this astoundingly thin 2,900mAh cell might make the Galaxy S25 Edge look like a battery life champion considering that Samsung's 6.7-inch Snapdragon 8 Elite powerhouse with a 5.8mm waist stands at no less than 3,900mAh in the battery size department. Our Galaxy S25 Edge review, remember, was not exactly glowing with battery endurance praise, so you can imagine that the iPhone 17 Air is likely to deliver even lower numbers between charges if the 2,900mAh capacity rumor pans out. Of course, Apple does have a knack of squeezing the best possible times out of smaller batteries than the competition, but in this particular case, the tech giant may need a miracle to play in the same league as Samsung. And that's before the Galaxy S26 Edge will allegedly take things to the next level in early 2026 with a 4,400 or 4,500mAh battery. Pretty bad, I'm afraid, with last year's "vanilla" iPhone 16, for instance, standing at close to 3,600mAh, and this year's base iPhone 17 likely to more or less keep that figure unchanged. You have to go back to something like the 2020-released iPhone 12 to find a sub-3,000mAh battery (2,815mAh, to be specific) in a non-diminutive Apple handset, with 2021's iPhone 13 mini, of course, packing an even smaller 2,438mAh cell. Believe it or not, that's (allegedly) the iPhone 17 Air battery next to the iPhone 17 Pro battery. | Image Credit -- Majin Bu The problem with the iPhone 17 Air is that its screen size is rumored to come much closer to the 7-inch mark than 6 or 6.5 inches, so it's really hard to be optimistic that a 2,900mAh battery will be able to keep such a gargantuan (and undoubtedly high-resolution) Super Retina display going for reasonable times between charges. Sub-par battery life could prove especially problematic if the razor-thin device ends up costing $900 or more, as a number of sources have claimed in recent months. The iPhone 17 Air , remember, is likely to act as a follow-up of sorts to the rather unpopular iPhone 16 Plus, which starts at $899 in the US with a "normal" 7.8mm profile, large 6.7-inch screen, and fittingly hefty 4,700mAh or so battery.

New Google Pixel 10 ad calls out vague timing on "coming soon" features—was that a shot at Apple?
With the Pixel 10 series set to launch on August 20, Google has kicked off its marketing campaign with a pointed new ad. In the video titled "Google Pixel 10 | Soon," the company questions what "soon" really means — and who can be trusted to deliver new features on time. The ad says: "If you buy a new phone because of a feature that's coming soon... but it's been coming soon for a full year... you could change your definition of soon. Or you could just... change your phone." While Apple isn't named, the message seems to target the company's delayed rollout of its "Apple Intelligence" features. See the video below and judge for yourselves who this message is directed to: Apple introduced its new AI platform in mid-2024, promising tools like better Siri responses, writing help, and smarter system suggestions. However, most of these tools aren't widely available yet. Many are still marked as "coming in 2025" and won't be part of the first iOS 26 public release. Google, by contrast, included advanced AI tools beginning with the Pixel 8 series through Gemini Nano, and continued to do so with the Pixel 9 series. Now, with the Pixel 10 lineup coming soon, Google is expected to build on that even further. In fact, leaks suggest features like "Magic Cue" for smart prompts, upgraded AI photo tools, and deeper Gemini integration are on the way. Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly trying to catch up. There are rumors the company may acquire DarwinAI, a Canadian startup, to boost its AI development — among other AI companies such as Perplexity, etc. Apple has also been reportedly working more closely with OpenAI to support features in iOS. From a bigger picture view, Google seems confident it's ahead when it comes to AI on phones. Apple may still dominate in sales, but Google is clearly trying to position the Pixel 10 as the smarter choice for those who care about AI now, not later. I think it's good to see Google speak more boldly about what it brings to the table. The Pixel 10 will need to back it up with useful features, which is yet to be determined, but it's a sign that Google is ready to compete more seriously with Apple — especially when it comes to the future of AI on smartphones.

Verizon might soon make it up to customers for unwelcome changes
Verizon has made a flurry of unwelcome changes recently. From raising prices to removing discounts and perks, the carrier appears hell-bent on trying to get you to pay more. That doesn't necessarily mean that it intends to drive customers away, and this may partly be a restructuring of how it Verizon customers were hooked up with loyalty discounts to convince them not to leave. This lowered their monthly bills, and based on word of mouth, the strategy was successful in making disgruntled customers stay. That's why Verizon has caused something of an uprising, at least online, by revoking the loyalty discount. It doesn't help that many customers financed phones through the carrier after receiving the loyalty discount, so they can't leave without paying off their devices now. Naturally, customers are simmering with anger, with many plotting to leave. Verizon doesn't seem to care though, and doesn't intend to keep rates stable to retain price-sensitive customers. After all, high postpaid churn in Q1 and Q2 didn't drag down Verizon financially, which explains why it isn't afraid to lose even more customers. That's not to say Verizon has suddenly turned its back on what it views as unprofitable customers. Apparently, the company will soon introduce a new version of the loyalty discount. Everything is up in the air right now, but the new offer might end up being better than the current one. —Oderint, Reddit user, August 2025 On the other hand, it's also possible that the discount will be worth less than what it is right now. In that case, customers would still be worse off, but at least they would still save on their monthly bill. This information was seemingly passed from a sales representative to a customer. Some suspect that it was just a tactic to retain the customer, since it makes no sense for Verizon to discontinue a discount only to replace it with something similar. One alleged representative even said that the sales staff isn't usually aware of discounts before they are officially announced. Either way, if you are on the fence about leaving Verizon , you might want to wait around a bit and see if this rumor materializes. After all, Verizon has one of the best networks in the US, which is why many people continue to stay with it despite its unpopular decisions.
