When it comes to using MagSafe in the car, I want something that keeps my iPhone charged. My wife, on the other hand, does not. She just wants the dock portion. If you don’t need or want charging while you drive, a magnetic mount is one of the best accessories you can add. The Lamicall MagSafe Car Mount skips the charging options and focuses on being the best way to keep an eye on Apple Maps when you don’t have CarPlay. With 20 upgraded magnets and a reinforced vent clip, your iPhone stays locked in place even on rough roads.

Apple has a new wave of betas ready for testing: iPadOS 26.1 beta 3 and more are now rolling out for developers.

While much of the major Prime Day deals have come and gone now, as expected, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break does feature some even better prices.

But over the years, it’s become popular among privacy-minded folks to track which online services, subscriptions, etc., are selling email addresses to other companies or leaking them.

With the launch of AirPods Pro 3 last month, one detail about them surprised many people – they still utilized the H2 chip from 2022.

Despite that, Apple is hard at work on future AirPods silicon.

If you have an iPhone running iOS 26, you may have noticed that it now reports the estimated time to finish charging to 80% on the lock screen. If you are not using a fast charger, though, it will not do that and say ‘Slow Charger’ instead.

This probably means you are using an underpowered power brick or older cable. To fast charge with a wire, get a new charging brick that is rated for 30 watts or more, and a USB-C cable …
