Mophie’s new Charge Force cases prove wireless charging is a ‘necessity’

By Joshua Smith June 23, 2016

Cords are annoying and so is charging your phone all the time. Mophie solves both those problems in one shot with the Charge Force case line for the iPhone 6S, 6S Plus, Samsung Galaxy S7, and S7 Edge These cases boast internal batteries that juice your phone up on the go, but they also charge wirelessly, so you never have to fumble around with a cord again.

Mophie made a range of accessories to go with the case, so you can top up your phone’s battery no matter where you are, whether it’s your car, apartment, or office. Mophie has a desk mount, a wireless charging base, and an easy-to-use car mount to go along with its wireless charging case. You simply pop the case on your phone, and attach it magnetically to any of the Charge Force accessories. The case uses Qi wireless charging technology, so you can use other Qi-enabled accessories, too.

The only downside to the cool wireless charging case and its accessories is the price tag. You’ll pay $100 for the case and the accessories are sold separately for $60 and up. Of course, that’s about the same price you’d pay for any other Mophie case, sans wireless charging. We put the entire Charge Force lineup to the test to see if they’re worth your hard-earned money.

In this video, Joshua Smith goes hands-on with the new wireless Mophie case and its accessories. You’ll find out how easy the Charge Force system is to use and more. If you’re interested in Mophie’s latest and greatest offerings, you can get them from BestBuy, Apple, or Mophie.

I reviewed an electric car like it was a phone, and I came to a shocking conclusion

The front of the Cupra Born VZ.

The Cupra Born VZ is not a smartphone — it’s an electric car. Yet, during my time driving it over the last five days, it has reminded me more than once about the device I spend most of my time using and reviewing.

This is not a put-down, nor is it a comment on electric versus combustion-engine vehicles, but more about how I, someone who doesn’t professionally review cars, can still easily recognize what’s good and bad about it. What’s more, the categories I usually break phone reviews down into, and the language I regularly use to talk about them, also neatly applies to the Born VZ.

A must-try Android app has finally arrived on the iPhone

A few days ago, Google Gemini appeared in the Apple App Store for a user in the Philippines, who was even able to download it. We took it as a sign that the new AI assistant would soon make its way to the App Store in the U.S. Well, we were right, as you can now download Gemini as a standalone app on your iPhone, after previously only being able to access it through a browser.

The Gemini app is free to download and has a surprising number of features available. More powerful functions are available for a $20-per-month subscription, but you can try Gemini Advanced out for one month for free. It grants priority access to new features and gives a "1 million token" context window.

We’ve got our first big clue about the Galaxy S25’s arrival

The Samsung Galaxy S25 has had a tentative early 2025 launch date for months now, but we might finally have an actual date to look forward to. Samsung will hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event on January 23, according to FNNews, a South Korean website, with the Galaxy S25 series as the star of the show. It's the most precise date we have seen yet for the speculated Galaxy S25 announcement.

Take this news with some skepticism, though, as Samsung has not confirmed any dates for its Unpacked event yet. The report also states San Francisco is "a strong candidate" for the city to host the event. The last Galaxy Unpacked event was held in Paris in July.
