This top-rated travel charger with a monstrous capacity is down to just $18
A dead phone battery can feel like a sucker punch (and using public chargers can be a little sketchy). To make sure you're not caught at 0% again, it's best to invest in a quality portable charger and this one from Iniu is both affordable and shopper-approved. The handy little device is powerful enough to recharge iPhones, Samsungs and AirPods, and it's slim enough to fit in your wallet. Get it now while it's $18 (down from $22).
Did we mention the Iniu is just $18? Compared to its competitors that aren't on sale, this is an absolute steal, especially for something with 10,000mAh of charge. This matches the best price on the web, so no need to look elsewhere.
When your device is dead, having a power bank on hand can truly save the day. Clearly, Iniu has a lot of faith that you will love this portable charger; a 3-year warranty is included.
The power bank supports fast charging and can boost an iPhone to 78% in just one hour. The gadget's 15-layer SmartProtect system eliminates the risks of overheating, overvoltage and other mishaps that might damage your devices.
Three separate ports (two USB-A, one USB-C) make it an indispensable multitasker. That cute paw print? It's a charge indicator. You can see how much power is left with just a glance. Wild!
More than 55,000 fans have given the charger a five-star rating.
One reviewer wrote about how it made a family getaway a much better experience. "I bought this for Disney and I would say it is absolutely the most valuable thing I bought for the trip," raved a grateful shopper. "I've since used this on long days at the zoo and on a long hiking trip where my phone would have died and my map would have disappeared."
Another fan used it to express their sports fandom: "I've purchased at least six of these," said this customer. "We are Penn State University fans and the paw print lighting up looks like a Nittany Lion paw. The battery charges easily and it works great. The paw print shows how much battery power you have, and it's large. Very convenient! No more guessing or looking for little tiny lights. The flashlight has come in handy as well."
Said this proud paterfamilias: "I bought this to take on vacation with me. My grandson used it for his Oculus when his batteries died and it lasted for hours of him playing. It should last my entire trip, as I won't be using it constantly as he did. It is quick to recharge as well. I love the paw print that shows how much of a charge it has as well."
One noted that the juice-up process is a bit sluggish. "Great bang for the buck," said one reviewer. "The only downside is that it takes a long time to charge fully (about two hours), but it's something I can sacrifice for the price."
Another found a weighty downside to all that charging power. "I have had this charger for three years and it is still holding up perfectly. It takes a while to charge (I usually charge it overnight), but it's worth it. The only complaint I have about it is that it is a bit heavy, but I guess it comes with the power it holds."

iPhone 17 Air fast charging sounds incredible, but how fast will it be?
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. The nature of my job made me look at battery life and charging speeds for years, but I would have done it as a consumer anyway. I'm a longtime iPhone user, and battery life is very important to me. I suffer from the same battery anxiety as most smartphone buyers, though I'm trying to manage it. Apple significantly improved battery life with the iPhone 16 series, and I've enjoyed using the iPhone 16 Plus and 16 Pro Max for several months at a time. Battery life and charging speeds haven't been a concern. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 Then again, battery life was already great on older, larger iPhone models, so I expected the iPhone 16 Plus and 16 Pro Max to deliver. The battery upgrades Apple brought to the smaller iPhone 16 variants, including the iPhone 16e, gave me hope that the iPhone 17 Air won't trigger my battery anxiety. I'm already excited about the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air, even though I know there will be trade-offs. Battery life is one of them. A thin handset means a thinner battery, so I might have to charge the iPhone 17 Air more often. But what if Apple gave the iPhone 17 a huge upgrade in wireless charging speeds? What if those speeds went up to 50W? According to 91 mobiles, Apple filed documentation with Taiwan's NCC regulator that shows it plans to include the new Qi 2.2 standard in future MagSafe chargers. The blog obtained two model numbers, A3503 and A3502, which could correspond to upcoming puck-shaped MagSafe chargers Apple will release soon. The chargers in Apple's images look just like regular MagSafe chargers. The key upgrade here is support for Qi 2.2. This new wireless charging standard could let Apple increase speeds up to 50W. The images 91mobiles found show the wireless chargers Apple submitted to the NCC support up to 45W speeds when used with a compatible power adapter. Besides faster speeds, Qi 2.2 also offers better efficiency and improved magnetic alignment. These chargers would work with any iPhone that has MagSafe connectors on the back, but top charging speeds might only be available on some models. I'd guess the iPhone 17 series will support those speeds from launch. If that happens, the iPhone 17 Air could charge wirelessly almost as fast as Android rivals. As a longtime iPhone user, I've learned not to envy too much of what Android vendors have done in recent years. We've seen plenty of Chinese companies launch premium phones with much faster charging speeds than the iPhone. Apple never matched those speeds, but it didn't need to as long as some iPhones offered solid battery life. Apple has increased battery charging speeds recently, and the iPhone 16 series stands out with much faster wireless charging. All iPhone 16 models support 25W MagSafe charging, except the iPhone 16e, which lacks magnets on the back. That's faster than the 20W wired charging speeds Apple lists for its iPhones. In practice, those speeds can exceed 25W with the right charger. Apple says 25W MagSafe charging can recharge 50% of an iPhone 16 battery in 30 minutes. USB-C charging offers the same 50% charge in that time frame. I don't expect Apple to raise wireless charging speeds all the way to 50W. But anything beyond 25W would make the iPhone 17 Air charge impressively fast, and that's good enough for me. I'll gladly accept faster charging on a super-thin phone, even if it means using an external MagSafe battery pack or charging more than once a day. Along those lines, if the iPhone 17 models support wireless charging up to 45W, I'd expect USB-C charging to get a similar boost.

I swapped my Apple Watch for the Galaxy Watch 7 — here's what I liked and disliked
Smartwatches have become an essential bit of kit for many, with features like fitness tracking, notifications, sleep monitoring, and heart-rate checking that were once novel and impressive. Now? They're expected. For years, I've been mostly in the Apple Watch camp. As my usual go-to everyday smartwatch, it's proven to be sleek, responsive, and — since it's tightly-knit with my iPhone and other Apple gear — it just works. Until now, I hadn't found a good enough reason to switch. But with Samsung's latest wearable, the Galaxy Watch 7, launching alongside the feature-rich Galaxy Watch Ultra and the much-hyped Galaxy Ring, I was curious. Was it time to try the other side? Could Samsung's circular contender pull me away from the Apple Watch Series 10? As someone who tests gadgets for a living, I decided it was time to find out. I've been wearing the Galaxy Watch 7 day in, day out — at the gym, pottering around the yard, walking around the block, shopping trips, in bed, and everywhere in between — to see how it stacks up against Apple's polished powerhouse. Here's everything I liked, and what I felt didn't quite hit the mark. Let's start with looks because, in my opinion, that's still what matters most on your wrist. Swapping from Apple's distinct rectangular slab to Samsung's traditional round face was — I have to say — a bit of a relief. I've never really been a fan of the Apple Watch's angular design, so it didn't take long to get used to, and prefer, the Watch's 7's more traditional circular face design. Samsung's latest wearable comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes, and the version I wore (the former) struck a great balance — not too chunky, not too delicate. The aluminium case keeps things lightweight, and I really liked the muted khaki finish of my review unit — it's subtle, modern, and goes with anything. The sapphire crystal glass is also a win, sporting a premium feel and a level of scratch resistance the aluminium Apple Watch 10 can't quite match without going up to the stainless steel model. Samsung's bezel is minimal and sleek, and the buttons are well integrated — I never once missed Apple's Digital Crown. If you're into traditional watch styling, Samsung's rounded aesthetic will feel more at home. The Apple Watch Series 10 features a bright and responsive touch screen, a comfortable and lightweight case and more smart functions than you'll know what to do with. Some of my favorites include on-wrist translations and global tide tracking. You also get useful safety tools and lots of holistic-tracking tech. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 provides in-depth, AI-backed, holistic insights into everything from sleep quality to fitness training and recovery. A handsome and easy-wearing watch, the touchscreen is bright and responsive, smart features and third-party apps are plentiful, and battery life is good for a full day. While the Galaxy Watch 7 does a decent job on the design front, its display doesn't quite dazzle in the same way the Apple Watch Series 10 does. Don't get me wrong, it's bright, colourful and sharp, and outdoors in the sun it's still clear and visible. But Apple's display just has the edge here — it feels more vibrant, especially when it comes to viewing angles and responsiveness. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And then there's haptics. The Apple Watch is the gold standard here with crisp, tight vibrations that never miss a tap. The Galaxy Watch 7, in contrast, just isn't quite as responsive. It's by no means an issue, but it's just not as refined or as satisfying as on Apple's wearable. One of my unexpected highlights was the sheer joy of swapping bands on the Galaxy Watch 7. Sure, Apple's proprietary band system is clever, but it's also rather limiting — and not to mention expensive. Samsung's choice to use a quick-release system compatible with standard 20mm or 22mm bands means I could use all sorts of third-party straps without it putting a big dent in my wallet. From sporty silicone to classic leather, you could quite quickly build up a new mini collection of different styled straps for the Watch 7. And while Samsung's own bands are decent, it's the freedom to personalize without Apple's markup that does it for me. Lovely stuff! If only I had a dollar for every time a smartwatch brand promised 'all-day battery' and failed to deliver. Unfortunately, despite its promises, Samsung's Galaxy Watch 7 also falls into that camp. It claims 'up to 40 hours of battery life' — and yes, in some cases it'll stretch a full second day — but in reality, with notifications on, GPS use, and a bit of music control, I was plugging it in nightly. Sigh. Still, it's still a little better than my Apple Watch 9, which Apple claims lasts 18 hours (and, in my experience, often hits that mark). Nevertheless, the Galaxy Watch 7's charging speed doesn't match up. It'll give you about 40% in 30 minutes, which is fine, but Apple's fast charge still has the edge, especially when you're in a rush to leave the house. This was the big one. Apple Watch is only focused on iPhone users. If you live in the Apple ecosystem, it's seamless. But it's also a walled garden with zero Android support, no Google Maps native app, and limited options for third-party customisation. The Galaxy Watch 7, on the other hand, is a Wear OS 5 device, and it plays nicely with a huge array of Android phones and also can be used by iPhone users (although more limited than on Android). The Google Play Store access on your wrist also works super well — I could download Spotify, Google Maps, WhatsApp, and even control my smart home with the Google Home app. The interface feels smoother than on past Galaxy Watches, and while Samsung's own One UI Watch skin adds a few quirks, it's generally very intuitive and responsive. The new Exynos W1000 chip seems to help, too, with everything from app launches to swiping around feeling faster and slicker than on older models. Okay, so it's time to talk money. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7's prices start at $299 for the 40mm Bluetooth model and $329 for the 44mm version. If you want LTE connectivity, it's an extra $50 on top for either size, so you're looking at $349 and $379, respectively. Compare that to the Apple Watch Series 10, which starts at $399 for the 42mm GPS version and jumps to $499 if you want the same size with cellular. Opt for the larger 46mm model and you're looking at $429, or $529 if you want it fully connected. So, if we're comparing like for like, Samsung's pricing undercuts Apple at almost every level, and you're still getting very similar top-notch features. Add in the fact that Samsung often offers deals and trade-in offers, too, makes it even more tempting if you're already in the Android ecosystem. Annoyingly, you can't pair a Galaxy Watch with an iPhone in a way that gives you the full experience. While the Galaxy Watch 7 technically can work with iOS, some features and health metrics — like ECG, blood pressure monitoring, and Samsung Health's more advanced tools — are either stripped back or unavailable entirely. The same goes for certain third-party apps and watch face options, which are much more robust when used within Samsung's own ecosystem. To get the most out of the Galaxy Watch 7, you really need to pair it with a compatible Android phone, ideally, a Samsung one. I tested mine with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, and it was a seamless, enjoyable experience. It boasted fast pairing, full feature access, and top-notch integration with Samsung Health, SmartThings, and the new Galaxy Ring ecosystem. On top of that, the Galaxy S25 Plus' big, bright AMOLED screen made it a joy to manage watch settings, workouts, notifications, etc and it felt like both devices were built to work with one another — probably because they are. Of course, it's not easy to move away from iMessage, but if you're fully onboard the Samsung train, the S25+ and Galaxy Watch 7 combo is as slick and functional as it gets on Android. After two weeks of using the Galaxy Watch 7, I can honestly say it's a strong rival to Apple's popular wearable. The design is smarter than I expected, the software is powerful and flexible, and the price is right. It's a great option for Android users — and for once, Apple fans may have something to be envious of. Still, it's not perfect. Battery life is still just okay, the screen's responsiveness isn't perfect, and the tighter integration of the Apple Watch with iPhone still can't be beaten if you're fully invested in that ecosystem. So, did I switch for good? Not yet, but I'm seriously considering it. I've gone back to my Apple Watch for now, mainly because I'm a creature of comfort (and you gotta love the seamless iOS experience), but the Galaxy Watch 7 did make a huge impression on me. If I were to move to a Samsung phone full-time (and after using the Galaxy S25+, I'm genuinely tempted) the Galaxy Watch 7 would be my go-to wrist wearable.
