Mophie Delivers Colorful New Apple-Exclusive Charging Accessories
If you're looking to add a pop of color to your charging accessories, you should head to Apple.com right away. Mophie, one of Apple's trusted accessory makers, has just delivered three new products in eye-popping colorways.
I've been a fan of Mophie for quite a while, given that they make one of the best charging cases on the market for the iPhone 16, the Juice Pack. Having used their stuff personally to ensure my iPhone doesn't die when I'm on the go, I tend to pay attention with they announce new products.
So what did Mophie send to your local Apple store today? Check out this stylish trio. Not only do they look good, they're reliable and convenient.
Powerstation Plus 10K
First up is a teal and purple charging station with integrated Lightning and USB-C charging cables, so it's good for legacy devices as well as the latest iPads, iPhones, and AirPods. The 10,000mAh battery provides a substantial amount of power. The Lighting cable can deliver up to 20W of power while the USB-C can deliver up to 24W. It's fast enough to charge an iPhone to 50% in just 30 minutes. Just keep in mind that the max power delivery for the entire device is 27W. So if you're charging multiple devices at once, you'll only get around 13W. The teal and purple exterior is extremely eye-catching and won't get lost in the bottom of your bag. Apple's got it for $79.95.
Creamsicle and aqua dreams
Delivering charging capability on the go, the aptly-named 3-in-1 Travel Charger folds into a cute little orange square and comes with its own, easy-to-find orange zipper bag. Unfold the charger at your destination and your treated to a creamsicle phone charger with a Qi charging pad on the back for your AirPods and a lovely aqua watch charger. Not only does this kit come with the charger itself, it has a 30W wall charger and USB-C cable, as well as several international socket adapters. I especially appreciate the inclusion of the wall charger, a rare thing to come with accessories these days. But as nice as this kit looks, the price might give you a moment's hesitation. At $149.95, it's a hefty price to pay for upping the style of your charging game.
USB-C to USB-C cable, front left
Having burned through my fair share of charging cables, I appreciate when a company adds some extra flare to this oft-ignored portion of the charging ecosystem. Mophie's USB-C to USB-C (both in 1m and 2m varieties) and USB-A to USB-C cables feature a heavy-duty braided exterior and a flexible "EnduraFlex" silicone interior. Mophie tests them up to 30,000 bends, which makes them perfect for traveling (or pressing into duty in the car). They're USB-C 2.0 cables as well, so you'll get the fastest charging and data transfer. They start at just $19.95 for the shorter cables.
Charging equipment, overall, tends to be deeply boring. So I really appreciate it when a company goes all-in and designs something colorful and fun. As I mentioned at the top, though, these are Apple exclusives, so you'll have to purchase them from the Apple website or find them at your local Apple store.

Cathie Wood Just Loaded Up on This High-Flying Crypto Stock. Should You Follow Her Lead?
Key Points Cathie Wood recently added Bitmine Immersion Technologies to three of her Ark Invest ETFs. Bitmine is following in the footsteps of Strategy and other companies that have added cryptocurrencies to their balance sheets. Bitmine's core business is Bitcoin mining, but Wood considers it a "digital asset treasury" company. 10 stocks we like better than Bitmine Immersion Technologies › Cathie Wood is one of Wall Street's most closely followed investment managers. Wood founded Ark Investment Management in 2014 with a focus on disruptive innovation, and has endeared herself to investors with her transparent, social-media-friendly approach to portfolio management. A longtime crypto bull, Wood recently started a position in Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSEMKT: BMNR). Ark's ETFs purchased 4.4 million shares on July 21. Bitmine chugged 2% higher the following day, but that's a drop in the bucket compared to the stock's 435% gain since it debuted on the public markets in June. Is now the time to follow Wood and get in on this stock. All in on Ethereum Bitmine's core business is mining Bitcoin. The company claims that its immersion-cooled mining technology is more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than conventional Bitcoin mining systems. Bitmine also offers mining-as-a-service and Bitcoin treasury consulting. For its fiscal 2024, which ended Aug. 31, 2024, Bitmine reported $3.3 million in revenue, a 413% year-over-year increase. The lion's share of its revenue came from mining. While the company reported a net loss of $3.29 million, its net cash used in operating activities was a loss of $28,753 -- a dramatic improvement over the $809,715 loss in 2023. On June 5, Bitmine stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange with little fanfare, closing at $7.75 per share. Shortly after, the company began buying Bitcoin, following in the footsteps of MicroStrategy (doing business as Strategy) and other companies that have added the cryptocurrency to their balance sheets. Here's where things take an interesting turn. On June 30, Bitmine said it was pivoting to Ethereum as its primary financial reserve. The company announced a $250 million private placement of common stock to bankroll its first Ethereum purchase, and named market strategist and outspoken crypto bull Tom Lee as chairman of the board. The share price skyrocketed 696% in one trading day. The stock has been on a roller-coaster ride since then, peaking at $161 a share in early July before settling into a tighter trading range. As of the closing bell on July 24, Bitmine stock was trading at around $42 a share. Meanwhile, Ethereum is up nearly 139% over the past three months. How it's using Cathie Wood's money As of July 17, Bitmine Immersion Technologies held 300,657 Ethereum tokens -- 60,000 of which were via in-the-money options -- worth more than $1 billion. The company's publicly stated goal is to acquire and stake 5% of the overall Ethereum supply. Bitmine has said it pivoted to Ethereum because of its utility as a facilitator of smart contracts, stablecoin payments, and decentralized finance transactions. Stablecoins, in particular, are seeing mainstream adoption by consumers, merchants, and financial services providers, and Lee has called them "the ChatGPT of crypto." "Acquiring $1 billion of ETH is a clear signal of our conviction in Ethereum's long-term value," Bitmine CEO Jonathan Bates said in a press release. Bitmine said it plans to use the net proceeds from Wood's investment to purchase more Ethereum. Is Bitmine a buy? Wood isn't the only high-profile investor to start a position in Bitmine. Earlier this month, tech mogul Peter Thiel disclosed a 9.1% stake in Bitmine through his venture capital funds. While Bitmine's core business is Bitcoin mining, stockpiling Ethereum has completely changed its value proposition for investors. You won't find any pure-play Bitcoin miners in Wood's flagship Ark Innovation ETF. That's because Wood considers Bitmine a "digital asset treasury" company. "These companies could be the next-gen asset managers in the on-chain capital markets age," Wood asserted in a post on X. Bitmine reported $1.2 million in revenue for its first quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended on Nov. 30, 2024. That's a 135% year-over-year increase. The company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $3.9 million, compared to $930,000 in the year-ago quarter. The increase was mainly due to an accounting adjustment related to preferred stock, according to the company. The price-to-sales (P/S) ratio can be a useful metric when comparing the valuations of companies that aren't profitable. With a P/S ratio of 16 on a trailing-12-month basis, Bitmine is trading at a premium compared to other crypto miners. While Bitmine's top line is growing at an impressive clip, it's clear to me that investors are piling in because of its massive stockpile of Ethereum, not its underlying fundamentals. Ultimately, this is an unprofitable company that's selling shares of common stock to buy Ethereum. With $1 billion in Ethereum on its balance sheet, I would expect Bitmine's fortunes to be closely tied to the price action in Ethereum -- more so than Bitmine's fundamentals. And that raises the question: As an investor, why not just buy Ethereum directly? Should you invest $1,000 in Bitmine Immersion Technologies right now?

Apple Suddenly Releases New iOS 26 Public Beta For iPhone 11 Users
Apple's latest software release left out three iPhones when it happened this week — and it took a day for this problem to be resolved. Here's what happened. Apple releases iOS 26 public beta for iPhone 11. Apple released the first public beta version of iOS 26, the software which will go on general release in September on plenty of iPhones, including current models like the iPhone 16 Pro Max and this fall's upcoming iPhone 17 series. The compatibility for the new software stretches all the way back to the iPhone 11, first released in late 2020. Or it should have done, but three phones were left out of the release: iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. This is the full list of compatible phones. As spotted by MacRumors commenting on Friday, 'Apple did not seed the iPhone 11 version of the iOS 26 public beta yesterday, but it's out now. The update has a build number of 23A5297n, which is different from the 23A5297m public beta that other testers received,' it reported. The build number is almost the same, suggesting there's very little difference between the two, but whatever the changes, they're there to suit the 2020 iPhones. It seems there was an issue for those models in the beta, which has now been fixed. 'Fixed: On iPhone 11, if you have organized apps into folders on your Home Screen, you might only see the leftmost column of the grid of apps when opening a folder. The other two columns in the folder do not display the app icons, preventing users from launching those apps,' Apple said. This is one of those small-but-highly-irritating problems, so Apple did the right thing, I'd suggest, to hold off releasing it. For this to be the blemish on iPhone 11 users' first encounter with iOS 26 would have been a shame. A new developer beta has also been released so that developers using iPhone 11 handsets can see the benefit, too. Although the first public beta has seemed pretty solid, it's a reminder that there can be issues, and that it's worth not installing iOS 26 on your daily driver just yet, but rather put its all-new design, extra features and more to the test on a secondary device instead.

The AI Boom Is Creating Housing Costs in the Bay Area That You'll Think You Must Be Hallucinating
Akin to a rapacious maw, the AI boom has swallowed up untold amounts of water, energy, and jobs lost to automation. Now add the rapidly dwindling housing stock in the Bay Area as even more tech workers crowd in, lured by the possibility of enriching themselves in this massive AI gold rush, according to reporting from The San Francisco Standard. Housing costs are already notoriously high in the San Fran area, but the AI boom has ratcheted up numbers to eye-watering figures while startup workers are forced to bunk up in small but costly rooms that are the spendy equivalent of flophouses, the publication reports. In an eye-opening example, tech bro Akshyae Singh is living in what sounds like a postage-size room and has to share the bathroom with 12 other folks. And he's paying — get this — a ridiculous $2,300 a month for the privilege. "My professional life is great," Singh told the Standard, "but my living situation is, like, the total opposite." It's so bad that people are snatching up apartments unseen while open house events are attracting droves of would-be renters. Some people have resorted to putting together "tenant résumés" to get a leg up on the competition. Leasing agent Brian Brown told the news outlet that he now has only a handful of listings — in contrast to 80 units at the height of the COVID pandemic. "It's the AI boom," realtor Van den Eikhof told the Standard. "Everybody knows that. Also, I think a lot of people got good deals during COVID and are staying put. It's putting a strain on inventory." The numbers are bonkers. Two-bedroom abodes have increased by 16 percent, reaching $4,621 on average, according to Zumper, which the news outlet cited. Median rent is $3,461. Certain neighborhoods like North Beach have jumped an astonishing 79 percent in the past year, topping out at an average of $5,475 per month for a two-bedroom. One agent told the Standard that she recently listed a two-bedroom unit for $12,000 per month, but it got snapped up in a single day for $14,500. You might wonder how regular non-tech folks are faring. For starters, the city has a terrible homeless problem, with people living rough outside or sleeping in RVs. Service workers, the people who clean and cook after these tech bros, often have to commute in from extraordinary distances. Even with recent progress on affordable housing in the Bay Area, ordinary people are undoubtedly shut out if you look at the numbers. The moving company PODS reported earlier this year that Los Angeles and the Bay Area are the top two locales with the "Highest Number of Move-Outs Ranked." And as the AI boom swallows up resources and attention, it's all only going to get worse.
