DESTEK SonicPower, The World's Fastest Wireless Charger for iPhone 6 6S
Haven’t upgraded to the iPhone 7 yet? One charging case might just make you happy you haven’t yet made the switch. Meet the SonicPower, heralded as the “fastest conductive wireless charger” for the second-newest iPhone. Meant for those of us who live life on the go, the SonicPower promises wireless charging in your car, home, or office.

So how does it work? Once you place your iPhone into the SonicPower case, you’ll be able to take advantage of its gilded electrode and pin technology. The case then attaches magnetically to the charging port, with a secure enough connection for “persistent and effective charging.” The circuit chips used in the SonicPower claim to be the safest on the market, and moreover, the team notes that the power port is certified by MFI (made for iPhone), and thanks to the circuit control located beneath the port, your phone will always be charged at a safe voltage and current.

Finally, the SonicPower team notes that the magnetic mount also features a short-delay charging function to avoid any transient current risk, and a circuit protection mechanism eliminates the possibility of a short circuit. Because we don’t need any Galaxy Note 7 situations happening in your car.

While the SonicPower case was meant initially for quick charging in your vehicle, the team also has mounts for easy use in other scenarios as well. There’s both a desktop mount and an adaptor with a quick charging function.

And just how quick is quick? According to the SonicPower team, even with Navigation and other apps running, it takes the charging case less than two hours to fully charge (1 hour, 56 minutes, and 59 seconds, to be exact). In comparison, other car chargers take up to four hours to fully juice a phone.

The SonicPower has already been successfully funded on Kickstarter, with more than 200 folks pledging nearly $20,000 to bring the concept to life. And now, you can pre-order your own quick conductive charging case for $39.

Apple quietly nixed this Apple Intelligence feature from iOS 18.2
Image Playground on iPad.

One of the most highly anticipated features of Apple Intelligence, Image Playground, has finally launched in the iOS 18.2 developer and public betas. This artificial intelligence tool, announced in June, enables users to create cartoon-like images from text descriptions. Unfortunately, at least in the beta version, one of Image Playground's announced features is missing.

As first noted on X (formerly Twitter) by @nicolas09f9 (via MacRumors), Image Playground was once expected to feature three design styles: Animation, Illustration, and Sketch. For whatever reason, the latter isn't a choice in the beta.

Our iPhones are our primary devices to check the latest news, connect with friends on social media, and capture important memories through photos.

A significant camera upgrade is anticipated for the iPhone Pro series; however, this enhancement will not be available on the current iPhone 16 Pro or the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro series. Instead, the iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to introduce a main rear camera with a variable aperture for the first time. This information comes from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who shared the details on Medium.

I’ve had the iPhone 16 Pro for over a month. Here’s why I still love it

Apple made quite a splash this year with the iPhone 16 lineup. In fact, the base model iPhone 16 appeared to be the star of the show, with phenomenal colors and even more Pro-level features than ever before. And whether you love it or hate it, the new vertical camera layout breathes some fresh life into the phone.

But I didn’t go for the base model this year, even though I really wanted a pink iPhone. Instead, I went with the iPhone 16 Pro, as drab as it may look compared to the iPhone 16. I was excited about some new features, but then I initially had some second thoughts after the first few days.
