THE DOSSIER
Start here and follow the story.
01OPENCan a phone charger charge your MacBook? Check more than the USB-C plug
A compatible charger can help in a pinch. Available power and the cable determine whether the battery charges or struggles to keep up while you work.
02OPENYour USB-C cable can charge a laptop and still be slow at copying files
The plug alone tells you little about charging power, transfer speed or display support. Check three separate capabilities before buying a replacement.
03OPENiPhone 18, 18 Pro and Pro Max price, release date and everything we know
Apple is expected to reveal the Pro models in September, while the standard iPhone 18 may move to 2027. Price could be the most painful change.

Apple promises up to four times the AI performance and twice the graphics, but the entry price is $300 above the 2024 M4 launch.
