Faster Qi2.2 wireless power banks are on the way
The 10,000mAh MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank features a built-in USB-C charging cable that doubles as a lanyard when not in use instead of retracting, an additional USB-C port for charging multiple devices at once, and a small screen showing its remaining capacity. However, because the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has not yet finalized the Qi2.2 standard, Ugreen hasn't provided specific details on when its new power bank will be available aside from a Q3 2025 launch. The company also isn't ready to talk about pricing yet.
Companies like Apple and Google have found ways to push the charging speeds of Qi2 devices and chargers well past 15W, but the Qi2.2 standard is expected to increase speeds to as much as 50W.
We'll see how that compares to wired charging options once it's actually available, though, as all charging rates tend to go up and down throughout a cycle to protect the device and its battery, and to prevent overheating. Other improvements coming with the Qi2.2 standard include the use of stronger magnets to improve alignment and reliability, power output that can dynamically adjust, and safety features, including better foreign object detection.

iPhone: everything you need to know
Apple's smartphones have built a reputation as some of the best phones around. The honor is well-earned, as they offer a blend of fluid software with useful features and top-notch hardware that will last you for years. Over recent few years, capabilities like global device location tracking and satellite communication support have further propped up their appeal. Apple has, expectedly, diversified the iPhone range to serve customers with different demands and budgets. As a result, it can get a bit overwhelming to decide which iPhone is best for you. Here's our full guide on the iPhone situation to assist you with your next purchase. What is the Apple iPhone? Every brand picks a name for its phones. Some go with special names, or just numbers attached to the brand name. In 2007, Apple picked 'iPhone' for its first handset, and the name's stuck with every iPhone released to date. There's a rich history behind it. Recommended Videos 'An iPod, a phone and an internet communicator. An iPod, a phone — are you getting it? These are not separate devices. This is one device. And we are calling it iPhone,' Apple co-founder and CEO, Steve Jobs, explained when he introduced the world to the first iPhone. What's the newest iPhone? The latest smartphone launched by Apple is the iPhone 16e. It's a budget-centric device that focuses on delivering the signature iPhone experience at a lower price and a few feature cuts in tow. If we focus on the latest mainstream iPhones, those include the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max – launched together late in 2024. Our latest iPhone reviews At Digital Trends, we have reviewed every iPhone that is currently on the store shelf. The iPhone 16e won praise for its compact size, strong camera, and great battery life. The mainline iPhone 16 offered a great mix of vibrant design, custom buttons, and reliable performance. The lack of a high-refresh-rate screen and fast charging on a phone that costs at least $800 earned it some valid criticism. Then we have the iPhone 16 Pro and its Max versions, both of which stand tall as one of the best smartphone cameras that you can get your hands on at the moment. The next iPhone The iPhone 17 series is expected to plan in land in the Fall season, and if Apple sticks to its usual schedule, the devices should go on sale towards the end of September. Apple is rumored to introduce four new smartphones, but instead of the usual 'Plus' model, we could get a new 'Air' variant. As per the leaks, the iPhone 17 will look the same as its predecessor. On the iPhone 17 series, Apple is going with a much larger camera bump to accommodate upgraded imaging hardware. The iPhone 17 Air could feature a single camera and a slightly taller display, and will be among the thinnest phones out there. Every iPhone variant explained Apple currently has five different iPhones listed for sale. For an average buyer, picking between them can get confusing, especially with the names, features, and the narrow price gap between a few of them. Let's break it down. The 'e' model, or the iPhone 16e, is the spiritual successor of the iPhone SE. Starting at $599, it's all about offering the fluid iOS experience running atop signature iPhone hardware, and the ecosystem benefits that come with it. Think of it as a no-frills, no-fuss device for people who seek the comfort of Apple's smartphone ecosystem without too many demands. The vanilla iPhone 16 is where we enter the 'latest and greatest' territory. It combines a fast processor, more cameras, a modern design, and the best iOS experience. For most people, it will get the job done. If you need a larger screen and a bigger battery, the 'Plus' model, aka the iPhone 16 Plus, is where you should put your money. The rest of the package remains the same. Then we have the 'Pro' and 'Pro Max' iPhones, the best that Apple has to offer. These stand out with a triple camera setup, advanced features focused on creators, a more premium build, better screens, and the fastest smartphone processor from Apple. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max offer one of the most consistently reliable and advanced camera tools you will find on a phone out there. What iPhone do I have? Each year, Apple launches smartphones with a fresh set of features, alongside next-gen software. Sometimes, these new capabilities are locked, but on a few occasions, they also make it to older iPhones. For an average user, it can get confusing whether the iPhone in their hand supports these features being advertised everywhere. The best way forward is to confirm the model name and year of your iPhone. It can be done by following this path: Settings > General > About. Here, you can also check the software version and the warranty details of your iPhone, as well. How much does an iPhone cost? The pricing of current-generation Apple smartphones starts at $599 for the iPhone 16e. Going up, you have the iPhone 16, with a base price of $799, while the iPhone 16 Plus will set you back $899. The starting price of the iPhone 16 Pro is $999, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is currently up for grabs at $1,199. You can save some money by picking up a previous-generation iPhone without losing too many features. Apple still sells the iPhone 15 and its Plus variant at a discount price starting at $699 in the US. Which iPhone should I buy? Buying an iPhone can be a tad confusing, especially when Apple sells no less than five iPhones from its latest 16 series, and two of the previous-generation models, as well. Here's a quick rundown on how to pick the right one. If you are looking for an entry-level iPhone that gets the basic bits right and your budget can't go beyond $599, the iPhone 16e is your best bet. For folks after a slightly more modern package in terms of looks, features, and future-proofing, the iPhone 16 is the right choice at a sticker price of $799. Assuming battery mileage is what you seek, and you're not averse to a slightly bigger screen, the iPhone 16 Plus should be the right investment. At a slightly lower asking price (and no Apple Intelligence), the iPhone 15 is still a great choice at $699. In case the budget is not a constraint and you only want the best that Apple has to offer in terms of camera and silicon capabilities, the iPhone 16 Pro is the ideal choice and a worthy $999 investment. But if you intend to push it at creative tasks like long video capture and gaming, a larger battery and screen will come in handy. For this type of workflow, the $1,199 iPhone 16 Pro Max should serve you just fine.

Google Photos just tipped to launch most powerful AI photo editing tool ever — here's what we know
Google Photos is already one of the best photo editing apps around, offering incredible tools that make your bland photos look amazing. And it's about to get smarter. In the last few years, Google Photos has been injected with several AI-assisted photo editing tools, like Magic Editor and Magic Eraser, that make complex edits a breeze. But now, it looks like Google's could be working on its most powerful AI editing tool to date. This rumored 'Help me edit' feature, uncovered in code with Google Photos v7.38, appears to offer users the ability to give direct photo editing instructions through a text box. It seems to follow the same premise that already exists with the Reimagine feature that debuted with the Pixel 9 series last year — and eventually rolled out as a feature to Google Photos. What makes 'Help Me Edit' different is that users can explicitly give instructions on what photo editing changes they want to make, rather than how Reimagine simply replaces elements in a shot with something else. One example shown by Android Authority shows how you could change the color of a car from red to blue with a simple command in the text prompt. Anyone that deals heavily with photo editing can appreciate what this feature could do to streamline edits. It'll be interesting what other complex edits this AI-assisted feature could perform, like the ability to brighten up a subject without brightening the entire scene. Either way, this new way of editing in Google Photos with the help of AI could be a game changer. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Google hasn't come out to say it's working on this feature, but it could also be introduced alongside its new Pixel 10 devices — which are tipped to be shown off at the next Made by Google event on August 20. Given how Google's been able to stay ahead of the curve around AI, this would be a ripe opportunity for it to introduce this Google Photos feature.

AI in Telehealth & Telemedicine Market worth $27.14 Billion by 2030 with 36.4% CAGR
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The global AI in Telehealth & Telemedicine Market, valued at US$2.85 billion in 2023 stood at US$4.22 billion in 2024 and is projected to advance at a resilient CAGR of 36.4% from 2024 to 2030, culminating in a forecasted valuation of US$27.14 billion by the end of the period. The market has experienced significant growth primarily driven by the growing geriatric and medically underserved (predominantly rural) population, the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, the shortage of physicians and care personnel, advancements in telecommunication technologies, and the expansion of RPM systems. However, the growing use of wearables, apps, and sensors for virtual care, the increasing shift towards outpatient care models, and the high utility of telemedicine against infectious diseases and epidemics are significant opportunities in the market. Download PDF Brochure: Browse in-depth TOC on "AI in Telehealth & Telemedicine Market" 409 - Tables58 - Figures380 - Pages By application, the primary care segment commanded the most significant proportion of the AI in telemedicine market due to an increased need for day-to-day healthcare, such as check-ups, chronic condition management, and preventive care, well-suited for AI implementation. These platforms leverage AI to automate symptom evaluation, virtual consultations, and follow-ups to make healthcare more accessible and convenient for day-to-day health issues. Organizations such as Hellocare (US) provide a complete telehealth platform with AI-based solutions for primary care, including virtual patient observation and RPM. These solutions increase patient engagement and simplify care delivery. Furthermore, CVS Health (US) provides CVS Health Virtual Primary Care by providing personalized digital healthcare services, enabling users to access and manage their health remotely. By function, the remote patient monitoring segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment of AI in telehealth market by function due to the increasing number of chronic diseases (including diabetes, hypertension, and CVDs) that need constant monitoring and management. RPM systems constantly monitor patient health data, eliminating the need for many hospital visits and improving patient outcomes. Many healthcare facilities, such as Mayo Clinic (US), offer RPM systems to reduce readmission rates. In January 2025, Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) introduced AI-based RPM devices that were developed in partnership with StreamTeck (Taiwan) to detect patient vitals (body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure). By geography, North America accounted for the largest market share due to the region's modern healthcare infrastructure, the widespread use of advanced technologies, and extensive governmental support. The US, especially, has adopted favorable reimbursement policies and regulatory mandates, including those from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to increase telehealth access and RPM technology. Favorable government initiatives have also propelled market growth. In October 2023, the American Telemedicine Association published a new AI principle to advance the safe, appropriate, and responsible use of AI in healthcare that enhances patient and provider trust, safety, and the efficacy of AI adoption as a tool in healthcare. Numerous US-based companies provide AI-based telehealth & telemedicine solutions—in October 2024, Zoom Communications (US) partnered with Suki AI, Inc. (US) to implement AI-powered voice tools within their telehealth services to improve clinical documentation functionalities.
