A portable generator that works hard for you
This model has an impressive 2073.6Wh capacity, with 2600W of continuous AC power, with surges up to 5200W. That's more than enough to run multiple high-demand devices at once. That means things like portable refrigerators, power tools, laptops, and even small appliances can be charged. In fact, you can power up to nine devices at the same time if you'd like.
And you'll be able to use this Bluetti Solar Generator for a long time. Inside you'll find automotive-grade LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries that are rated for over 6,000 cycles. They should be good for about 17 years of regular use. There are tons of other portable power stations that don't even come close, and while you're definitely paying for it even with this one on sale, you're still getting plenty in return. And if you've got to take it out on the road, you can do that. It's equipped to handle tough environments, thanks to multi-layer safety protections that help it perform even in extreme temperatures.
Plus, TurboBoost tech and integrated MPPT modules, you can charge the unit up to 80% in just 50 minutes with both AC and DC input. That means less downtime and more energy independence, especially if you're using it as part of a solar setup.
The updated companion app lets you monitor and control power usage in real time, adding convenience and helping extend your battery life. The bundle includes everything you need to get started: the Elite 200 V2 unit, AC and solar charging cables, a grounding screw, and a user manual. Just don't lose all of those things.
If you've been waiting for the right portable generator to add to your setup, this is a deal worth jumping on. This power station is awesome, packs plenty of power and longevity, and is perfect for everything from backwoods adventures to backup plans. And, of course, when the lights go out.

Apple Loop: iPhone 17 Pro Release Date, Apple Challenges AI Assumptions, iPad Pro Multitasking Explained
Apple CEO Tim Cook delivers remarks at Apple headquarters (Photo by) Taking a look back at this week's news and headlines from across the Apple world, including iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro launch dates, stunning iPhone display upgrade, new iOS 26 features, MacBook Pro upgrade details, iPad multitasking, WWDC goals, and Apple challenges AI assumptions. Apple Loop is here to remind you of a few of the many discussions around Apple in the last seven days. You can also read my weekly digest of Android news here on Forbes. iPhone 17 Family Launch Dates Apple's tentpole event of the year, which everything is built around, is the iPhone launch. Which dates are available for this year's iPhone 17 family? David Phelan looks over the choices of September 2/3, 9/10, or 16/17: "We can rule out the first pair as that completely clashes with the big consumer electronics show in Berlin, IFA, which runs Sept. 5-9… The final pair of dates seems too late for me, though they're not impossible — if Apple hits a snag in production, it can move the launch to that week. Most likely are Tuesday, Sept. 9 or Wednesday, Sept. 10. My gut says it will be on Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific in Apple's Cupertino HQ." (Forbes). iPhone's Stunning Display Upgrade Apple is working hard to bring new display technology to the iPhone. Although these won't be ready for the iPhone 17, and perhaps not even the iPhone 18, but the allure of an OLED display that draws less power is one it is investigating: 'Apple is reviewing a plan to apply a new low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) organic light-emitting diode (OLED) to the iPhone series to be released in 2027 at the earliest. The core of the new LTPO OLED is whether to apply oxide (oxide) to the driving TFT. If the proportion of oxide increases, it can reduce power consumption,' the site says." (The Elec via Forbes). Apple Already Adding New iOS 26 Features Apple has released a second build of the next iOS 26 release in public development. While there are some questions on the need for a rebuild (with suggestions of battery life or a significant security issue being discussed online), one of the key quality of life updates is present in the release; smart storage, which helps manage memory during install, updates, and upgrades: " We don't yet know how this dynamic reservation of space will work, or how much will be automatically be set aside, but it may 'align with similar mechanisms in macOS. If you are not familiar with it, Apple already uses temporary system storage management during updates, even in the case of iOS, but the new feature could mean that the system actively manages and holds onto space as part of its background maintenance,' the report adds. (Forbes). 2026 MacBook Pro's Anticipated Upgrade Following a burst of engagement in the move to Apple Silicon in 2020, the MacBook has seen little change in terms of design and features beyond the chipset. With an expected redesign in 2026, one of the biggest missing features could finally arrive, replacing the LED displays with OLED. "The OLED MacBook Air is also expected to get a standard single-stack display, rather than the more sophisticated Two-Stack Tandem displays we reported on for the MacBook Pro. Single-stack displays have one red, green and blue layer, while two-stack tandem OLED has a second RGB layer. Two layers stacked in tandem increases the brightness of the screen, while also increasing longevity. (The Elec via 9to5Mac). The iPad, The Mac, And Returning To An App Apple continues to thread the needle to increase the capability of the iPad while avoiding any clash with the Mac (specifically the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops). Federico Viticci has a deep dive investigation and interview with Apple's Craig Federighi on the new iPadOS 26 changes, and much of that is built around a long-standing issue… multitasking, windowing, and using apps concurrently: "In listening to Federighi's analysis of iPad multitasking over the years, I get the sense that Apple has been trying to understand the iPad's audience for over a decade. At some point, they realized that the device has two types of users: those who just want a tablet, and those who want a tablet plus more traditional computing features. The company tried to reinvent those classic functionalities but ultimately understood that some users would rather have classic windowing, a file manager, and a menu bar that 'simply' worked with either touch or indirect manipulation, rather than entirely new UI metaphors." (MacStories). Only What Can Be Delivered After the hot takes of last week's Worldwide Developer Conference come the considered responses. Longtime Apple follower John Gruber makes an important observation on what was announced this year, compared to the vast promises of 2024: "I might be overlooking a minor exception or two, but every major feature announced in the WWDC 2025 keynote was both demonstratable in product briefings, and is currently available in the developer beta seeds. I was also told, explicitly, by Apple executives, that Apple plans to ship everything shown last week in the fall." (Daring Fireball). And Finally... Apple continues to lag behind the curve in the use of generative AI—the recent delay announced at WWDC points to nothing practical till 2026. Apple's work on AI has led to a research paper that suggests the promises made by the competition may be too generous: "In particular, the researchers assail the claims of companies like OpenAI that their most advanced models can now "reason" — a supposed capability that the Sam Altman-led company has increasingly leaned on over the past year for marketing purposes — which the Apple team characterizes as merely an "illusion of thinking.'" (Futurism). Apple Loop brings you seven days worth of highlights every weekend here on Forbes. Don't forget to follow me so you don't miss any coverage in the future.
