Leaked Apple Charger Reveals iPhone 17 Will Have Fast Charging
It looks like iPhones, including the expected iPhone 17, could be getting a big boost from an upgrade to their wireless MagSafe chargers.
As reported by 91mobiles, a recent image of Apple MagSafe chargers included model numbers that support the Qi 2.2 charging standard. That's according to photos that 91mobiles spotted on Taiwan's National Communications Commission website. The NCC is the regulatory body that verifies devices for telecom products.
If the rumors are correct, it would mean Apple would jump from its current Qi 2.0, which supports a maximum charging speed of 25W. The Qi 2.2 standard supports speeds of 50W, according to 91mobiles.
Additionally, Qi 2.2 could improve magnetic alignment, so your iPhone snaps to the charger correctly and quickly. That could potentially improve charging efficiency and reduce heat generation.
And for those of us who want to hold onto our old phones instead of upgrading to the new iPhone, Qi 2.2 promises backward compatibility to as far back as the iPhone 11.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Viral Sharing of AI COMIC on TikTok and Facebook Signals Strong User Adoption and Community Engagement User Base in Japan and South Korea Grows 1,300%, Underscoring Commercial Success and Global Potential Cutting-Edge AI Capabilities and Smart Cloud Infrastructure are Foundation for Growth VANCOUVER, BC, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Siyata Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq: SYTA, SYTAW) ("Siyata" or the "Company"), a global developer and vendor of mission-critical Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) handsets and accessories, today announced that Core Gaming, a rising innovator in AI-driven creative technologies, who it recently signed a definitive merger agreement with, is experiencing continued momentum with its innovative AI COMIC app. In less than one year, combined user numbers of AI COMIC in Japan and South Korea have jumped from 2,500 to over 32,000, a 13x increase, while those countries' share of total global users rose from 4.12% to 14.38%. "AI COMIC's breakout success in Japan and South Korea is a powerful validation of our strategic vision," said Aitan Zacharin, CEO of Core Gaming. "Return on investment in the region has more than tripled, driven by targeted localization efforts such as a language-optimized user interface. Just as important, the virality we are seeing through widely used platforms like TikTok and Facebook underscores how deeply users are engaging with our product." Launched to broad interest, AI COMIC blends next-gen AI capabilities with a uniquely immersive user experience. The app empowers users to transform everyday visuals into vivid anime-style content through features such as AI-generated video, personalized avatars, manga scene recreation, time-lapse aging and realistic face swaps.

Importantly, our goal is not just to build apps. We are building a robust, scalable AI infrastructure designed to power creative expression on a global scale. AI COMIC is only the beginning." Technology Platform: A Breakthrough AI Engine While AI COMIC continues to attract headlines and users, the underlying technology is the true differentiator. To support rapid growth and creative demand, Core Gaming built a smart, cloud- based infrastructure that delivers scalable AI performance while keeping costs efficient. This foundation enables the platform to streamline game asset creation—from automated scene and character generation to fast, high-quality animations and ad creatives—helping content teams iterate faster and bring ideas to life with minimal effort. Core Gaming's AI infrastructure is designed around three core pillars: Compute Pool System (CPS) is a dynamic AI task distribution engine that allocates computational resources across workloads in real time. CPS ensures optimal throughput for video generation, avatar rendering and real-time user interactions—without overprovisioning infrastructure. Multimodal Generative Models that process and synthesize visual, text and audio inputs simultaneously, enabling complex creative outputs such as dialogue-driven animation, mood-based styling, and high-resolution content generation tailored to the user's intent. Proprietary BigP Backend and Cloud Orchestration serves as the orchestration layer for model training, inference pipelines and content delivery. Integrated with a globally distributed cloud framework, it scales elastically to meet creative surges whether from new user spikes or major feature rollouts. "AI COMIC is just one example of what our platform can do," Zacharin continued. "Our AI infrastructure is built for scale to transform workflows across a multitude of use cases including gaming, marketing, education and enterprise content. By automating the most time-consuming parts of creation, we empower teams to focus on storytelling and strategy. The momentum we are experiencing in Japan and South Korea is a clear signal that our technology can shape the future of creative expression on a global scale." Zacharin concluded, "We continue to work diligently to finalize the merger with Siyata and remain confident that we will secure regulatory approval in the near future, with closing expected shortly thereafter."

Quanterix Expands Reach with IVD and Large Reference Labs
Simoa Technology Advances Earlier Disease Detection by Measuring Signature Biomarkers BILLERICA, Mass., June 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quanterix Corporation (NASDAQ: QTRX), a company fueling scientific discovery through ultrasensitive biomarker detection, today announced that the HD-X Simoa Immunoassay Analyzer has received Class 1 Medical Device registration by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in South Korea through its regional distribution partner, HS Biosystems. The continued expansion of the industry-leading Simoa® technology platform into global markets demonstrates a key milestone in broadening validation of biomarker-based testing and providing clinicians with minimally invasive tools that can help enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve accessibility. Through its unparalleled sensitivity and multi-marker testing capability, the Simoa platform delivers ultrasensitive biomarker detection in blood, serum or plasma, with the ability to quantify proteins that are far lower than the Level of Quantification (LoQ) of traditional measurement platforms. "Quanterix is the only platform in the neurodegenerative space that can be used in research to discover a biomarker, power an endpoint in a clinical trial and progress to a diagnostic test," said Masoud Toloue, Chief Executive Officer at Quanterix. "Other instruments only address narrow use cases, as they are either only high-plex discovery orientated or diagnostic use only. Quanterix makes discovery to diagnostics happen by powering a critical step in between, biopharma clinical trials. As a result, our ultra-sensitive Simoa technology serves as the backbone for many of the Alzheimer's tests coming to the market today." Quanterix has established several new global collaborations with laboratories and patient testing centers, further strengthening the infrastructure for Alzheimer's testing and reinforcing its clinical utility. These recent collaborations include: ARUP Laboratories - a leading national reference laboratory that recently launched a blood test for phosphorylated tau 217 (P-tau217) to assist in identifying whether cognitive decline symptoms in patients ages 60 years and older are related to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. ARUP's test will be performed on Quanterix's SP-X® platform with the Quanterix Simoa® assay kit, which uses P-tau217 antibody technology licensed from Eli Lilly and Company. Neurogen Biomarking – the world's first ecosystem for memory loss with end-to-end patient support recently announced an easy-to-use at-home blood biomarker collection test that can measure phosphorylated tau 217 (P-tau217), a specific marker for Alzheimer's disease pathology and MCI, using Quanterix's highly sensitive technology. NSW Health Pathology – the largest public pathology service in Australia, has validated NfL for patient testing. Rede D'Or, Richet Laboratory (IDOR) – the largest integrated health care network in Brazil, covering over 70 hospitals, was the first Brazilian institution to acquire a Simoa HD-X and implement both P-tau217 and NfL for testing. IDOR recently published their first paper in Nature Communications on their work to reduce the underdiagnosis of AD in Brazil. According to research, early signs of Alzheimer's disease (AD) may begin 20 years or more before symptoms appear. The Simoa platform equips customers with advanced insights to help accelerate their research and diagnosis, along with accelerating early detection during this crucial timeframe, allowing patients expanded access to treatments that are not available once the disease has progressed to an advanced stage. "Our team works primarily on Alzheimer's Disease and dementia, so from day one, our focus has been on reporting how Simoa biomarkers perform when detecting amyloid status and cognitive decline in a local sample," said Luis Eduardo da Silva Santos, Scientist, Rede D'Or Institute for Research and Education. "IDOR was the first Brazilian institution to acquire a Simoa HD-X and we are excited to see that our work, published in Nature Communications, is now serving as the basis for the local implementation of two Simoa kits, P-tau217 ALZpath and NfL. We expect these tests to be more affordable than current alternatives and to contribute to reducing the underdiagnosis of AD in Brazil." For more information on the Simoa platform, visit About QuanterixFrom discovery to diagnostics, Quanterix's ultrasensitive biomarker detection fueling breakthroughs only made possible through its unparalleled sensitivity and flexibility. The Company's Simoa® technology has delivered the gold standard for earlier biomarker detection in blood, serum or plasma, with the ability to quantify proteins that are far lower than the Level of Quantification (LoQ). Its industry-leading precision instruments, digital immunoassay technology and CLIA-certified Accelerator laboratory have supported research that advances disease understanding and management in neurology, oncology, immunology, cardiology and infectious disease.

I Let Google Lens Be My Tour Guide. It Might Be the Smartest Travel Tool This Summer
I didn't expect Google Lens to become one of the most useful tools in my routine. I've mostly used the platform close to home, really almost daily, to identify shells I find when I walk on the beach or to translate package labels on foods I pick up from my local Asian market. But recently, I found it helpful on a few trips to solve real-world travel problems, from identifying weird weather to spotting sketchy vacation rentals. Google recently shared new ways travelers can use Lens' Visual Search features this summer and beyond. To learn more, I spoke with Dounia Berrada, senior director of engineering for Google Lens, about how the team is trying to make the camera a more intelligent search aid and travel companion. Google Lens has a few limitations, considering most of the features can't be used in offline mode. Still, it might be the smartest free tool already sitting on your phone. "Everyone is familiar with how you can ask questions with text and voice. With Google Lens, you can also ask questions with images," Berrada said. For more Google features, explore how I use Google Maps for stress-free travel and the six Google AI and Lens features I'm using to plan my vacations. 6 ways to use Google Lens during your travels Translate signs and menus on the spot CNET One of the biggest perks of Lens while traveling is its instant translation feature. I use this feature at least weekly when I visit Cuban restaurants here in Florida or visit my favorite Asian markets and need help reading the packaging. I simply hold up my phone, tap the Lens icon in the Google app and the screen's text transforms into English in real time. The text doesn't come up as a pop-up, but appears directly over the original words of whatever I'm needing to translate. During travels, this feature can help translate street signs, public transport maps and menus. Verify vacation rentals before you book The other day, I was perusing Airbnbs in Costa Rica, since I've always wanted to visit. I saw a suspiciously underpriced rental, so I reverse image searched the listing photos using Lens. Turns out, the same pictures appeared on a real estate site for a property in another country. That was enough of a red flag for me to walk away and think about Costa Rica another time. Berrada told me Lens wasn't designed specifically to catch scammers, but giving people more visual context before making decisions on lodging is very much part of the product's mission. For me, it's an easy way to do some quick background checking, so I feel more confident in where I'm staying, and I'll probably use it anytime something feels off. Ask questions about what you see Macy Meyer/CNET Ever found yourself staring at a painting in a museum, totally intrigued but with no idea what you're looking at? That was me just a few days ago when I was standing in front of a surreal piece at the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg. Even though I wrote an 80-page thesis on surrealism as an undergraduate, I'm still not an expert art history major. But I was wishing I had access to one when I was looking at the strange and disturbing Daddy Longlegs of the Evening Hope painting. Google Lens was helpful when I pointed my phone's camera at the painting and asked it to tell me more about the work of art. I got an AI Overview that broke down key details, like who made it (I knew this), when it was made and what materials were used (given to me by the plaque next to the painting), but more interesting, why it matters and a breakdown of what the imagery is likely representative of. Lens then offered links to websites to dive deeper if I wanted to. This feature helps you make sense of what you're seeing in real time. It also allows you to speak your question aloud while snapping a photo. It's kind of like turning to a friend and saying, "Wait, what is this?" and getting an answer right then and there. Deep dive with the About this image feature Macy Meyer/CNET When I was visiting my older sister in Tulsa, Oklahoma, recently, I snapped a photo of some bizarre clouds that looked almost like a thick, wavy blanket covering the entire sky as far as the eye could see. I've never seen anything like it before. I used the About this image feature in Google Lens to figure out what I was actually looking at. It showed me how the photo (and ones like it) were being used across the web -- from weather blogs to social media platforms to fact-checking sites -- and helped me learn that these are undulatus clouds, appearing as "cloud streets" since they look like parallel bands or rows. Whether you encounter an odd image online or in real life, this tool provides quick context and helps you understand what different sources are saying. Summarize and translate text from a photo Google When you're traveling, you never know what kind of text you'll run into that'll need translating -- menus, handwritten signs, museum placards, notes from an Airbnb host. With Google Lens, you can snap a picture of any text and instantly get a summary, ask questions about it or copy it to your clipboard. The feature can also annotate the image, such as highlighting dishes on a menu that meet your dietary preferences, so you're not stuck translating. I can imagine using it to quickly find vegetarian dishes on a local menu or to make sense of a scribbled transit schedule at a rural train stop. Berrada said she has personally used this feature to translate recipe cards in French that her mother gave to her, so she can share the English translation with her husband. Whether you're navigating a new city or just trying to decode a note left by your Airbnb host, it's a handy tool for making the unfamiliar feel a bit more manageable. Get souvenir details instantly when traveling Google Imagine you're wandering through a street market in Tokyo or browsing a boutique in Lisbon and spot something you'd love to bring home — a unique canvas tote bag (my personal souvenir of choice), a pair of sunglasses or a handmade clothing item. With Google Lens, you can snap a quick photo and instantly pull up product details, including prices at other retailers, current deals, shopper reviews and shipping information if you're wanting to ship it back home. It's an easy way to figure out if you're getting a good price or if it's worth waiting to buy later. Even in a store, Lens can show you if similar items are in stock elsewhere nearby or online, whether the price is competitive and what other travelers or shoppers have said about it. It takes the guesswork out of impulse buys, especially when you're on the go. "This is my absolute favorite use case with Lens. I love it for shopping," Berrada said. Berrada explained that the tool taps into a massive shopping graph with over 50 billion listings that are constantly updated and drawn from both online sources and local stores. It then shows the exact product you're looking at, along with the best available prices, so you can compare options before making a purchase. If you're not set on buying that exact item, Lens also provides visually similar alternatives and products with comparable features, such as lightweight materials or enhanced durability. She also shared a personal example from a recent trip to Paris, where she used Lens to scan apparel she saw in a store. The feature helped her decide whether to buy the item locally or wait until returning home, factoring in currency differences and availability of local brands.
