Anker's new Soundcore P41i earbud case will charge more than just your earbuds
The new case features a status screen, a large 3,000 mAh battery that can charge your earbuds for up to a week or partially charge a smartphone. As a comparison, the charging case of the Apple AirPods Pro 2 only has a 525 mAh battery.
The case features a built-in USB-C cable that also acts as a wrist strap. It also comes with a lightning adapter for older iPhones. According to Anker, the case can charge a dead iPhone 16 Pro to about 50% or a Samsung Galaxy S24 to 45%. Though the charging speed is 10W, don't expect a fast charge.
The case can also act as a phone stand.
The earbuds are designed to last up to 12 hours on a single charge, with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) off. The case can boost that up to 192 hours, giving you just over a week of near continuous use. Depending on how much you use your earbuds, that might mean you could get around a month of use before charging the case.
The Soundcore P41i earbuds offer adaptive ANC thanks to six microphones, which can be adjusted via the Soundcore app. It comes with 11mm composite drivers with sound that is "enhanced" using Anker's BassUp technology. There's Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity with multi-point and fast pairing.
The earbuds also have IPX5 water resistance, so they can handle a little water but probably don't want to take a dip.

The lack of detail on the sound means the audio probably won't blow you away, but with these earbuds, you're buying that power bank charging case and super-long use time.
The Soundcore P41i earbuds are available for purchase in the UK for £89.99 (about $100) but are expected to see a global release soon. The previous earbuds in the P4 line were available in the US.

Save Up to $35 Off a Baseus Charging Station This July 4th and Stay Powered Up All Weekend
Keeping all your gear charged can be a job unto itself, and it gets more complicated when you have visitors. Whether you're having guests this Fourth of July weekend or you just need a better charging solution for your family, a charging station could be the answer. But even the best charging stations can only share so many watts between devices, which is why the best charging stations from brands like Anker and Baseus not only feature multiple USB ports but also multiple AC outlets. AC outlets accommodate those few devices that still use proprietary chargers, and it lets you expand beyond the included 2-4 USB ports without sacrificing wattage when you need to top off everyone quickly before heading out. The Fourth of July deals are bouncing into next week's Amazon Prime Day to give us some of the best savings of the year a week early. Among the dozens of mobile accessories Baseus has on sale this holiday weekend is a trio of towers that can declutter your desk and keep everything you need ready and recharged. Available in 6-in-1, 7-in-1 for $65, and 10-in-1 varieties, these charging stations all offer two USB-C ports, at least one USB-A port and multiple AC outlets. Just note: You'll need to clip the on-page coupon to get the lowest possible price. For the best blend of power and ports, Baseus' 100W 7-in-1 USB-C charging station can fast charge a laptop at 65W -- full speed for all Chromebooks and many Windows laptops -- while a phone and tablet each standard charge at 15W and still leave 5W for your smartwatch while your non-USB tech or your desk's smart speaker can use the AC ports on both sides and the back of the tower. These towers are part power delivery chargers and part surge protectors with surge and lightning protection to keep your digital lifelines from frying should calamity strike. The Baseus $35 10-in-1 desktop charging station model may sound like it's the most powerful, but it only offers 35 watts to share between the two USB-C and USB-A ports, leaving the lion's share of the station's potential power to the six AC ports. This isn't to say 35W between four ports is useless, but you'll want to use those ports for lower-powered devices like recharging your smartwatch or wireless earbuds. If you're looking to charge multiple phones and tablets with those ports, you're probably better off going with the 6-in-1 USB-C Charging Station at $50, which may only have three AC ports but features a retractable USB-C cable in addition to one standard USB-A and one USB-C port. Those three ports share 65W, meaning that you can charge both a phone and tablet at full speed rather than both getting middling speeds. Why this deal matters I use a 100W charging station like this at my desk and have another next to my couch for both me and my guests to keep our phones powered and ready. Being able to stick my 65W travel charger into one of the AC ports and fast charge four phones instead of two -- well, one phone and my Chromebook -- when I have people over and then swap it back to powering my oil diffuser or smart speaker once they're gone is a godsend, and since the wall outlets are spread out across multiple sides of the tower instead of sandwiched next to each other in a line, I never have to worry about bulky plugs blocking out half my ports. Because these charging stations double as surge protectors, you can also click their switch to power off and disconnect everything when severe weather comes, unlike standard charging stations you would have to unplug. Living in lightning capital of the U.S. makes this feature more important to me than most, but it can also be handy for parents wanting a one-click shut-off for all the kids' consoles and computers. We're still days away from Prime Day, and deals like these will continue to drop through the next week, but these chargers are all within a few dollars of their lowest prices ever. We'll watch for further price drops and competing deals throughout the holiday week, including Anker's plethora of deals on chargers, speakers and smart home appliances.

iOS 26 has an awesome Wi-Fi upgrade for your iPhone
We're rapidly approaching the release of iOS 26. Apple has been hard at work, and we've been eagerly anticipating all of the new features it's set to bring to the table. A small but mighty feature coming to iOS 26 is that the sign-in details for captive Wi-Fi networks are now synced across iPhones and iPads running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. If you've dealt with the annoyance of captive Wi-Fi networks, you know how tedious it can be to get every device up and running, and this feature will make it easier. Creative Strategies analyst Max Weinbach found the feature and posted about it on X while staying at a hotel. His iPhone asked him if he wanted to fill in his Wi-Fi details from his iPad, which was already connected to the hotel's network. If you're a traveler or simply someone who enjoys public Wi-Fi (with one of the best VPNs of course), this feature will enable you to log in to all your devices much more quickly. This isn't the first time we've seen this feature mentioned. Bloomberg reported that Apple was working on it, but when Apple didn't mention the feature during its WWDC presentation, we were less sure it was coming. We heard Apple is working on several other features in iOS 26 that weren't announced too, so this feature not being there isn't shocking. As for when you can get your hands on iOS 26 (if you're not interested in testing the beta), we expect it to be released in September, as that's typically when Apple puts out its major updates (though the company is changing things up this time with its naming convention). Apple's iOS 26 is expected to bring tons of new upgrades. For instance, we tried Apple's upgraded CarPlay in iOS 16 and were quite impressed with its new look and features.
