Apple today began selling some additional accessories through its online store, including a 70W charger from Belkin with dual USB-C ports. The charger can be used to charge a MacBook at up to 50W and an iPhone or iPad at up to 20W simultaneously. It is ideal for charging any MacBook Air, but it is also compatible with MacBook Pro models.
The charger is built with gallium nitride (GaN) material for a more compact design and improved charging efficiency compared to traditional silicon-based chargers. In the United States, the charger features foldable prongs and is priced at $59.95, and a 65W version of the charger with a Type G plug is available in the United Kingdom.
Apple released its own 35W dual USB-C chargers earlier this month, with compact and standard size options priced at $59 each. Belkin's charger offers double the total wattage at a nearly identical price point, providing customers with a more versatile and affordable option for charging multiple Apple devices at the same time.
Belkin's updated 3-in-1 wireless charging stand with MagSafe has also been made available to order through Apple's online store after being announced earlier today. The new version of the stand adds fast charging support for the Apple Watch Series 7, allowing the watch to charge from 0% to 80% battery life in approximately 45 minutes.
The stand remains able to charge an iPhone 12 or newer via MagSafe at up to 15W speeds, and an AirPods or AirPods Pro case at up to 5W speeds. In the United States, the stand is priced at $149.95 and is available in white or black.
Apple has also started selling OtterBox's 2-in-1 wireless charging stand with MagSafe for $129.95. The stand features a MagSafe charger that can charge an iPhone, or an AirPods case when tilted upright, along with a magnetic charging puck for the Apple Watch that is said to include fast charging support for the Series 7.
Other accessories added to Apple's online store include the Eve Outdoor Cam, Eve smart plugs, the Philips Hue Gradient Signe floor light, a special Apple bundle for the Insta360 ONE RS Twin Edition action camera, and more.

iOS 27 will reportedly have two major elements: quality improvements and new AI features.
In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that iOS 27 will be similar to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in the sense that Apple is focused on improving "quality and underlying performance" over adding new features.
Gurman said there is one exception to this rule, though, as he expects...

American multinational news company CNN has abruptly pulled its content from Apple News, Semafor reports.
CNN quietly removed its stories from Apple News over the weekend and there is no longer a feed from the network to subscribe to in the app. This effectively ends its distribution agreement with Apple while the two sides negotiate new terms. Discussions are apparently ongoing and CNN's...

Anker Lightning cables are vastly superior to Apple’s - they don’t fray and gunk out. Their chargers have been rock-solid in my experience and are generally well reviewed. Their portable batteries are top-notch. They make the best baby monitor. Their Bluetooth smart scales and their robotic vacuum cleaners are among the best. Just one guy’s opinion of course but Anker sits higher up in my book than these overpriced Apple Store MFI favourites. To each their own!
To this day I don't understand why Apple sells an $80 96W Macbook charger that only has ONE USB-C port on it. The thing is huge and heavy and massive, surely they could have port a second port, or hell, FOUR ports on that thing and make it an awesome charging solution for all your stuff at once?
But nope... BIG BRICK with only one port on it, and they let the competition make more versatile chargers. The heck you doing over there Apple?
For my fellow Canadians, the Logitech Circle View doorbell ('http://Sonnette filaire Circle View de Logitech https://store.apple.com/xf/xc/product/HPGS2VC/A'), which was US exclusive since its launch, is now showing on the Canadian Apple Store. Not avaible for purchase yet, but it’s probably coming soon!
