Most people think of AirTags when they picture a Bluetooth tracker. And indeed, Apple’s little white discs used to be the most capable option, relying on a vast finding network of nearby iPhones to pinpoint lost tags. But now, both Google and Samsung have implemented finding networks of their own. And other Bluetooth tracker companies, like Chipolo and Pebblebee, now have trackers that pair with either Google or Apple’s network too. In short, you’ve got a lot of options for tagging and tracking your keys, backpacks, luggage and more.
We still think getting a live TV streaming service is a better deal than paying for cable — but the gulf between the two options is narrowing. Now that many of the major providers go for more than $80 per month, it’s not the amazing deal it once was. Still, live TV streaming plans have no contract, offer relatively simpler pricing and need no special equipment beyond a smart TV and an internet connection.
There wasn’t much Mac-related news at Apple’s latest to-do (to be expected at an iPhone event), aside from the announcement that macOS 26 would be available to the public on September 15.

Amazon's third (!) and final Prime-related sale of 2025 has reached its last few hours.

Last week, Amazon announced two new Echo Show devices during its fall hardware event. From the stage, Amazon execs repeatedly used the phrase “blend into the background.” Amazon hardware chief Panos Panay told a personal story, recounting how Alexa+ was able to “shift the balance” at his dinner table, supplying his family with facts to settle their mealtime debates, no phones required.
Whether you were won over by the cameras on the new iPhone 17 or you’re sticking it out with your iPhone 12, having a little extra power around is never a bad thing. The best MagSafe power bank is one that attaches firmly, charges quickly and blends in with your handset — or better yet, adds a handy stand to the mix. Right now, the fastest wireless portable chargers are Qi2-certified, meaning they can charge at speeds of up to 15 watts.
They’re not complicated, but smart plugs can make life a bit more convenient and, honestly, a little more fun. I like saying “Goodnight” to Alexa and having all the lamps and the holiday lights click off. In the two years or so that I’ve been testing smart plugs, I’ve come across good ones and bad ones.
There are six power banks on my desk right now. On the shelves behind me are a dozen (two dozen?) more. Over the past three years, I’ve tested more than 55 portable battery packs for Engadget — and can attest these handy devices are only getting better. If you often forget to charge your phone or find yourself traveling for work or leisure, having one of these in your bag can be a lifeline. Here you’ll find banks ranging from Qi2-enabled slabs for wireless phone refills to larger bricks that can save a dying laptop. Here are the best power banks you can buy, according to our tests.
