Listen here, folks. This 20,000mAh Anker power bank is down over 40% for a limited time. That brings the price to just $28 (down from $50). It's equipped with a two-way USB-C port along with a USB-A port. This means you can charge up two devices at once. Plug in your laptop while your phone is recharging as well. And it's is compact so it can store easily in a backpack or messenger bag. The main USB-C cable can actually click back into the power bank so you'll never find yourself without a cable.

20,000mAh is the total energy this power bank holds. To put that in more grounded terms, It can charge an iPhone 15 four times from zero percent to a hundred before running out. Similarly, it's got just shy of four charges of a Galaxy S24 in it. It's fast too. You can charge an iPhone 16 Pro Max to 50% with the Anker portable charger in just 30 minutes.
The portable charger features an interactive digital display so you can see just how much juice it has left while charging your phone, laptop, or earbuds. This can help prevent lots of disappointment. There's been plenty of times I've left home with my power bank, thinking it was fully charged only to plug my phone into it later and see it was dead. Now you'll know how charged it is just at a glance.
The Main Use Case for a Power Bank
Don't be like me. Recently I went on a trip to Spain. I was coming from New York and the flight was about seven hours or so, plus an hour connecting flight to our final destination. I used to have a good power bank, but I lent it to a friend and never got it back. I considered picking up a new one before the trip, but figured, 'Ahh, I probably don't need it. All planes these day have outlets and charging ports at your seat.'
Well, when I got there, the only port was a USB A. I went to pull out a charging cable and low and behold, it was USB C-to-C. All of my devices I had with me were USB C or my iPhone which again, the only cable I had was USB C-to-Lightning. Stranded in my aisle seat with a Nintendo Switch I forgot to charge and a laptop loaded with movies and shows with only about a half hour of use left. This flight sucked.
Don't do what I did. Grab this travel-friendly Anker power bank on sale for $28 and save $22. That's a discount of almost 50%.

When does iOS 26 come out? Everything Apple iPhone users need to know

Apple's next iPhone software generation, iOS 26, has been announced, and though we don't have a specific release date yet, there's a key month iPhone users should keep an eye out for. Unveiled at Apple's 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday, June 9, the freshly rebranded iOS 26 promises to 'elevate the iPhone experience' through a series of features including an updated lock screen design, better translation features, enhanced Apple Intelligence, a new 'liquid glass' design, among others. Here's what we know so far about the upcoming release of iOS 26, according to Apple and its CEO Tim Cook. There is no specific general release date for iOS 26, but iPhone owners can expect to have the software update available in mid-September 2025. Apple usually makes its software updates available a few days before the release of the newest iPhone. But users can anticipate confirmation during the iPhone 17 event in early September. Additionally, the beta version of iOS 26 has already become available for registered Apple Developers and this version will expand to the public as soon as July 2025. To gain access to the beta version, users can access it through the Apple Beta Software Program.

Polls: Users will be able to create polls in iMessage group chats allowing members to vote on topics or questions. Better recording quality while wearing AirPods: AirPods users will have access to 'studio-quality' recording allowing 'iPhone, iPad, and Mac users to record their content with great sound quality and enjoy even clearer calls.' Enhanced battery features: The new software will estimate the expected charging time for your Apple devices and introduce adaptive power mode.

Roblox hands $6M in bonuses to CFO poached from Paramount

This story was originally published on CFO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CFO Dive newsletter. Departing Paramount Global CFO Naveen Chopra is set to receive $6 million in cash bonuses when he takes the top financial seat at immersive game platform Roblox, according to a Tuesday securities filing. Chopra is set to take Roblox's top finance seat on June 30, the San Mateo, Calif.-based game platform said. The bonuses that Chopra, 51, is set to receive from his new employer will be comprised of a $3 million cash signing bonus, which will vest and be paid throughout a three-year period, as well as a second, $3 million signing bonus, '1/36 of which will be earned for each month of completed service,' according to Roblox. His compensation will also include an annual base salary of $735,000. The New York-based media and entertainment conglomerate Paramount appointed Andrew Warren, currently serving as the strategic advisor to the Office of the CEO to the role of interim CFO upon Chopra's departure, Paramount said in a Monday press release. Chopra will from his role effective June 27 after a four-year tenure as Paramount's finance chief, the company said. The incoming finance chief will also receive an award of restricted stock units with a value of $28 million, according to the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Roblox has also earmarked $15,000 per month for temporary housing reimbursement through Aug. 31, 2026, with a maximum of $900,000 in relocation expenses for the new CFO, per the filing. As CFO for the Roblox platform, which enables users to both program and play games, Chopra will succeed Michael Guthrie, Roblox said in a Tuesday filing. Guthrie will remain to provide 'advisory transitional services' to Roblox for a one-month period, the company said. An alum large companies including Amazon and music streaming service Pandora, Chopra has served as Paramount Global's CFO beginning in August 2020, according to his LinkedIn profile. Prior to joining Paramount, he served as CFO, Amazon Devices and Services for the e-commerce company, and served as CFO and interim CEO for Pandora. He also held various executive roles during a 13-year career at TiVo. The CFO appointment comes as Roblox looks to entice new users to its platform, with the company reporting a surge in its daily active users (DAU) for its Q1 2025 ended Mar. 31. The company saw 97.8 million DAUs in the period, a 26% jump year-over-year, according to its earnings report published May 8. Roblox also reported just over $1 billion in revenue for its Q1, a 29% increase YoY, as well as a 31% YoY rise in bookings to reach $1.2 billion, according to its earning report. Despite its most recent growth, Roblox has struggled to reassure investors about its potential for profitability. The company reported a consolidated net loss of $216.3 million for its Q1 2025, after posting a full-year consolidated net loss for 2024 of just over $940 million, according to earnings reports. The company has also faced questions regarding the safety of its platform, especially regarding its use by children: last October, now-defunct shortseller Hindenburg Research published a report accusing the platform of both inflating its user numbers and of being a 'pedophile hellscape for kids.' Questions about the platform's safety have repeatedly surfaced among both parents and other users, with digital behavior researchers Revealing Reality reporting the current safety measures employed by the platform remained 'limited in their effectiveness,' The Guardian reported in April. At Paramount, the CFO switch comes as the entertainment platform is seeking to navigate its own set of challenges after reconstituting its executive leadership last April — now led by a triumvirate of top executives in the Office of the CEO, including George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins. Chopra's departure comes as Paramount is reportedly gearing up to lay off about 3.5% of its workforce, CNBC reported Tuesday, citing a company memo. Last year Paramount moved to cut about 15% of its workforce in a three-phase plan, as part of a strategy to reduce its annual costs by $500 million, CNBC reported at the time. The cost-cutting moves also come as Paramount still seeks approval for its stalled $8 billion merger with Skydance, which has also been grappling with President Donald Trump's ongoing $20 billion lawsuit against 60 Minutes. Roblox and Paramount declined to comment beyond its press release.

All of the new features coming to Apple's iOS apps

At WWDC 2025 on Monday, Apple unveiled a series of new features that will launch with iOS 26 this fall across its apps. These include significant updates like Call Screening, more travel-friendly features in Wallet, and highly requested group chat features in Messages. Some of these updates include Apple Intelligence, like Live Translation. Others, like Apple bringing back tabs in the Photos app, just make devices a bit easier to use. We'll update this post as new features come out. Call Screening lets you determine what a call is about before picking it up. When you get a call from an unknown number, Call Screening will automatically answer silently in the background. When the caller shares their name and the reason for their call, the iPhone will ring, and you can view their response before deciding whether to pick up or ignore it. Hold Assist will detect hold music and stay on the line for you until a live agent is available, and Live Translation will translate conversations on the fly. Your words will be translated as you talk, and the translation is spoken out loud via an AI voice for the call recipient. As the person you're speaking to responds in their own language, you'll hear a spoken translation of their voice. Members in group chats on Messages can now create polls to better plan events and make quick decisions. Apple Intelligence will also detect when a poll might be useful and suggest that users start one. Plus, group chats can now create custom backgrounds for chats and see typing indicators, and you can now request, send, and receive Apple Cash in group chats. The app now also lets you screen messages from unknown senders. Messages from unknown senders will appear in a dedicated folder where you can mark the number as known, ask for more information, or delete the message. Apple notes that these messages will remain silenced until a user accepts them. Live Translation is also coming to Messages. The feature will automatically translate text for you as you type and deliver it in your preferred language. When the person you're texting responds, their message will be translated for you. Apple Music users will get access to a Lyrics Translation feature to help them understand the words in their favorite songs in other languages. A new Lyrics Pronunciation feature will display phonetic lyrics so that listeners can sing along in a different language. The app is also adding an AudioMix feature that will transition from one song to the next using time stretching and beat matching like a DJ to deliver continuous playback. The feature could be seen as a competitor to Spotify's AI DJ feature. Apple is also introducing a karaoke feature that will turn your iPhone into a handheld microphone for Apple TV. The feature will amplify your voice as you belt your favorite songs, as real-time lyrics and visuals appear on the TV screen. You can also pin your favorite music to the top of your Library in Apple Music to allow for easier access. Apple Maps is going to get better at understanding your daily commute. It will now use on-device intelligence to start showing you preferred routes when headed home or to the office. The app will notify you of delays and offer alternative routes, too. Apple Maps is also getting a new Visited Places feature that will help you remember the places you've been. You can choose to have your iPhone detect when you're at a restaurant or shop, and view all of your Visited Places in Maps. Apple notes that Visited Places are protected with end-to-end encryption and that it cannot access them. Apple Wallet is introducing the ability for people to store a digital version of their passport, called a Digital ID. The tech giant notes that this won't be a replacement for your actual passport, but it can be used in apps that need to verify age and identity, and at supported TSA checkpoints. With Real ID implementation in effect, Digital ID will give you another way to present an ID in person during domestic travel. In addition, another feature will let you present your driver's license or state ID in Wallet to websites for age and identity verification, starting with Chime, Turo, Uber Eats, and U.S. Bank, as well as the Arizona MVD, Georgia DDS, and Maryland MVA. Apple is also refreshing its boarding pass experience in Wallet. You'll now get real-time updates about flights with Live Activities. You can also share your flight's Live Activities with others so they can remain updated on your travels. You'll now be able to access Maps from your boarding pass in Wallet to navigate to the airport. You can also use Find My to track items and report lost baggage from the boarding pass, and also view key services on an airline's app, such as seat upgrades and standby lists. Apple also announced that Wallet now uses Apple Intelligence to automatically summarize and display order tracking details from emails sent from merchants or delivery carriers. Like Phone and Messages, FaceTime will leverage Live Translation to let people communicate with each other in different languages. When you're talking to someone in a different language, FaceTime will display translated captions so that the two of you can understand each other. After receiving significant user backlash for its Photos app redesign in iOS 18, Apple is bringing back a tabbed interface to Photos. In Collections, you'll find your favorites, albums, and the ability to search across your library. The Library tab makes it easier to scroll through recent photos. The Photos app is also able to transform your 2D photos into 3D spatial photos. The iPhone's Camera app will showcase the two capture modes you use most on the main screen: photo and video. To reveal additional modes, like Portrait Mode and Cinematic Mode, you can swipe your finger left or right. To access other settings, such as flash, timer, aperture, and more, you'll now swipe up from the bottom of the screen. You can also change formats with a tap, which can be helpful when switching between HD and 4K resolution or adjusting the frame rate on video. Apple Podcasts is getting a new customized playback experience that will allow you to choose speed options, from 0.5x and 3x. The feature will bring listening experience on Apple Podcasts more in line with Spotify, which already lets you choose playback speed for podcasts. Plus, Apple Podcasts is getting an 'Enhance Dialogue' feature that will use audio processing and machine learning to make speech more clear over background sounds. Apple is adding a ChatGPT integration to supercharge Image Playground. You'll be able to access new styles, such as vector art or an oil painting. Plus, you'll be able to tap the 'Any Style' option to describe exactly what you want. Image Playground will send the description or photo to ChatGPT to create a unique image.
