Qi2 power banks capable of 25W charging are coming — Ugreen claims 'world's first'
Ugreen has debuted what it is claiming as the "world's first Qi v2.2 certified power bank" that the company says can wirelessly charge devices at speeds up to 25W. That 25W is impressive, as most power banks typically max out at around 15W of power output. The new Ugreen MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank adds 10W and is meant to match the updated MagSafe charger that Apple launched with the iPhone 16 family last year. Ugreen's new power bank features a 10,000 mAh battery, which should be enough to fully charge your device. This power bank features a built-in braided USB-C charging cable that doubles as a lanyard when not in use. The cable isn't retractable but does appear to have a use beyond dangling free. An additional USB-C port can be found on the bottom of the power bank, allowing you to charge two devices simultaneously. It also has a small display to show how much battery is remaining. Beyond announcing the existence of the MagFlow, Ugreen did not provide any pricing or release date news beyond "coming Fall 2025." Currently, the Wireless Power Consortium has not officially finalized the Qi v2.2. standard, which is supposed to push charging speeds up to 50W. Apple and Google have managed to boost charging on Qi2 devices beyond 15W, but the standard remains at this level in general. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Despite that, Qi v2.2 devices appear to be in the works and we've seen MagSafe devices in certification documents recently and testing is being conducted by agencies. While iPhone 16 only supports Qi v2.1 right now, it's expected that iPhone 17s released later this year will have the newer standard.

Apple deal alert: The new AirPods 4 are only a buck above their Prime Day price
Apple's AirPods Pro are great, no question. But if you're not a fan of those silicone tips, the just-updated 4th-generation AirPods 4 might be a better fit. They ditch the tips but keep all the essentials: crisp sound, water resistance, solid battery life and hands-free Siri. Right now, they're just $90 — only a buck above the lowest price we've seen. These are Apple's newest non-Pro earbuds, with Personalized Spatial Audio, a more secure fit and a MagSafe case with Find My. AirPods are some of the most sought-after earbuds on the market, and this sale makes them a lot more attainable. While they sometimes dip below $120, this is the lowest they've ever dropped outside of Prime Day, during which they were only a dollar cheaper. (If these Pods are still too rich for your blood, check out our comprehensive review of AirPods Pro alternatives under $100 — there's something for everyone.) If you don't like that feeling of having something wedged in your ear and don't need active noise cancellation (ANC), these buds are the way to go. They've gotten a bit of a makeover from previous generations. The shorter stem gives them a cleaner look, and the new quick-press controls mean no more fumbling to pause your tunes or take a call. Plus, they fit better and stay put, so you won't have to keep adjusting them while you're at the gym or running to catch the train. I use an iPhone, iPad, iMac and MacBook Pro daily, so my AirPods rarely leave my ears. While their utility extends beyond the Appleverse — they also pair perfectly fine with Android smartphones or tablets, as well as Windows laptops and desktops — you do lose out on a lot of the features that make these headphones special. AirPods 4 share quite a bit of tech with AirPods Pro, including an H2 chip, spatial audio, a wireless charging case with speaker (and USB-C charging port) and the new Head Gestures feature, which allows you to take or decline calls with a quick move of the head. And if you're caught in the rain or sweating through a tough workout, no worries — they're rated IP54 for dust, sweat and water resistance. These AirPods have over 8,400 five-star fans, and over 10,000 pairs have been snapped up in the past month. "I had some off-brand [headphones] that sounded AMAZING, but they never automatically connected and were less of an easy experience," recalled a would-be bargain hunter. "The AirPods just WORK the way you expect them to, which I missed, and am so glad I have again." "I never understood the hype around expensive earbuds and always stuck with cheaper ones," began one convert, "but my husband got me these AirPods for Christmas, and now I get it! These are a total game-changer. They're super comfortable and don't hurt my ears, even after wearing them for long periods. The sound quality is amazing, and the personalized spatial audio makes everything sound so immersive." Said this five-star fan: "The lightweight earbuds sit comfortably in your ears for extended listening sessions, and the intuitive controls make it easy to adjust volume, skip tracks and activate Siri. ... If you're an Apple user looking for a seamless audio experience, these earbuds are definitely worth considering." I concur with this "con"-trary customer's quibble: "I think that it's very cheap of Apple that they don't include the proper charging cable or the USB plug. Apple products are so expensive; you should be able to use the products immediately. Instead, I have to go pay more to get a charging cable." I'll give the last word to Yahoo Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida, who cautioned: "It ... bears mentioning that Android users are almost certainly better off with something other than AirPods, which would serve as little more than 'dumb' earbuds when paired with those phones." (Check out Rick's full review of the ANC Apple AirPods 4 here.) If you want a bit more battery life and a more customized fit, AirPods Pro might be your answer. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

Faster Qi2.2 wireless power banks are on the way
Ugreen has announced what it claims is the 'world's first Qi2.2-certified power bank' that can wireless charge devices at speeds of up to 25W. Most wireless chargers in the US currently max out at just 15W of power delivery, but the Ugreen MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank will push that to 25W, matching the speed of the updated MagSafe charger Apple introduced alongside its iPhone 16 lineup last September. 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.
