 Apple’s latest release, the iPhone Air, has officially brought eSIM technology to China for the first time. Approved by regulators as part of a “commercial trial” involving China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom, the device marks an important turning point in China’s telecom development. The iPhone Air sold out within minutes of its release on Friday. According to Apple’s official website, retail stores are currently out of stock, and home delivery orders are delayed by about a week. |  Xiaomi has introduced the Mijia Desktop Water Purifier Ice-Making Edition in China. The new device is now available on JD and integrates water purification, ice-making, and instant heating features into a single unit. It is priced at 4,499 yuan ($632), with an introductory price of 4,099 yuan ($576). The purifier uses a variable-frequency ice-making system that produces five transparent 10-gram ice cubes in 15 minutes under standard mode. |
 ASUS‘s latest mini PC is a powerhouse in AI computing. The Taiwanese PC giant’s Ascent GX10 was just announced with a small footprint, measuring just 5.9 x 5.9 x 2.0 inches in dimensions. But despite its tiny build, the mini PC houses impressive horsepower. The Ascent GX10 internals pack cutting edge features that make it more powerful than your average workstation, thanks to Nvidia’s GB10 superchip. |  Wireless chargers are no longer just flat pads to drop your phone on; they’re quickly becoming design pieces in their own right, blending function with form in ways that elevate your desk, nightstand, or living room. If you’re tired of the same old black circle and want something with character, here are five unique wireless chargers that combine wireless power with creative design, making charging not just convenient but a visual upgrade too. |
