Apple AirTag was a monumental product — in more than one way. On one hand, it helped people recover their stolen belongings, while on the other, it was nefariously used to quite an extent. Now the company is apparently having another go at the product! Let’s see what’s Apple cooking with the AirTag 2 or AirTag (Second Generation).
Apple AirTag 2 Rumour Roundup
First things first
The makers of the iPhone announced the first-ever AirTag on 20 April 2021. The initial intention of this product was to provide people with a fashionable accessory that helped them avoid losing their stuff and retrieve it in case they did lose it. However, the human brain works in wicked ways.
The Apple AirTag was put to good bad use. People started using it for all sorts of crimes from stalking to stealing. So much for Apple’s strict code of not letting criminals and villains use Apple products in films. The real-life scenario was vastly different.
With the rise in evil use, Apple had to move swiftly to control the damage. They pushed an update where an AirTag would alert iPhones nearby of its presence. Apple even partnered with other companies so that different ecosystems could trace the tracker. How often do you see that happening?
An update allowing you to trigger sound on an unknown AirTag to help you locate it followed as well. After this, criminals found a workaround and started cracking open the tracker to remove the speaker. As a result, getting rid of the unwanted device became a much bigger hassle because users could not pinpoint where it was hidden right away.
What to expect?
Despite all the conundrums, Apple is reportedly working on a follow-up product nearly four years after the original. This news comes from Mark Gurman — a contributor at Bloomberg — who has a history of accurate Apple-related leaks.
He reports that the AirTag 2 carries the codename “B589”. Furthermore, it will “look similar to the current model, but offer better range, bolster the onboard wireless and improve privacy.” In addition, we can expect Apple to address issues of the previous AirTag and tweak the design such that the second-generation product is much harder to crack into.
Apple AirTag 2 Launch and Availability
As per Gurman, the Apple AirTag 2 or AirTag (Second Generation) might launch sometime in mid-2025. The exact dates are not available. He mentions that Apple also plans to launch other products such as the Smart Home Display, a new iPad Air, a new entry-level iPad, MacBook Air, Mac Pro, Mac Studio, and iPhone SE in the coming year.
While all this sounds interesting, we have to wait and see what unfolds.

Android 15 went public some time ago and all the major smartphone manufacturers are racing to mould it for their phones. Motorola is no stranger to this either and they have been hard at work with their take on Android 15. A bunch of phones are confirmed to be getting the latest MyUX or Hello UI — whatever they’ll call their Android skin — which I will list below as well.
Motorola MyUX / Hello UI (Android 15) Overview
Motorola’s take on Android is usually very close to the real deal. Hence, we can expect it to come with similar feature set. Some noteworthy features are: Private Space, App Archiving, and optimised multitasking.
The first one hides your apps behind an additional layer of security by storing them in a separate space and hiding them from recent apps and settings. Likewise, the second feature allows storing user data even after an app is installed. It now works for apps installed outside of the Google Play Store. Meanwhile, the latter improves multitasking by allowing users to create app pairs for easier access when using a split screen. This will be especially handy in foldable devices or tablets.
Other than that, the latest Android also introduces real-time widget preview, theft detection, satellite connectivity support, and so on. We can expect Motorola’s upcoming take on Android 15 to have similar things as well.

PD or Power Delivery is a universal standard that goes well with smartphones, laptops, and other devices. When it comes to a PD charger, we have two options: a normal PD charger or a Gallium Nitride PD charger, popularly known as a GaN PD charger. So, here in this, GaN PD charger vs a Normal PD Charger article, I’ll be talking all about the similarities, and differences and help you choose the best one between the two.
GaN PD Charger vs a Normal PD Charger:
Introduction to GaN Chargers
A GaN charger is a type of charger that uses Gallium Nitride (GaN) as its semiconductor material, composed of the elements Gallium (Ga) and Nitrogen (N). Unlike normal chargers that use silicon semiconductors, GaN chargers support higher voltages, manage greater power densities, and offer better power conversion efficiency.
Types of GaN Chargers
Although built on the same Gallium Nitride material inside, GaN chargers can be classified into two types: GaN PD chargers and GaN Non-PD chargers.
The GaN PD charger, I’m referring to in this article, is the one that compulsorily has a USB-C output port, which is the base for the USB-Power Delivery standard 3.0. It can also have multiple USB-C ports and a USB-Type A port with Quick Charge protocol as well. Which can charge supported laptops via USB-C to USB-C medium, other than smartphones, TWS, or smartwatches.
GaN Charger Types

A PD GaN charger
A brand-specific GaN charger
Therefore, the GaN PD Charger herein, shouldn’t be confused with a brand-specific GaN charger that uses a different protocol, boasting a USB Type-A port instead of a Type-C output port. The most happening example of a non-PD GaN charger is the Xiaomi 120W HyperCharge GaN charger with a single USB-A port. It uses Quick Charge protocol and boasts no USB-C port.
Now that we have learned the difference between a GaN PD charger and a GaN Non-PD charger, let’s understand the PD protocol and USB-Type-C port which is the common ground for both a GaN PD charger and a normal PD charger.
USB PD Protocol
USB Power Delivery (PD) is a fast-charging standard designed to provide efficient and adaptable power delivery via USB connections. It allows devices to communicate with the power source to negotiate the optimal voltage and current, delivering up to 240W based on the device’s needs. This protocol ensures safe and efficient charging for various gadgets like smartphones, laptops, and tablets, and supports bidirectional power transfer, enabling devices to charge each other. Integrated into USB-C technology, PD simplifies charging by reducing the need for multiple chargers and enhancing compatibility across devices.
It is supported by iPhones, iPads, Samsung Galaxy phones, and Google Pixel phones. Also, it is cross-compatible with HyperCharge-supported phones from Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco, Honor’s Super charge protocol, and Motorola’s Turbo Power protocol.
What is a GaN PD Charger?
A GaN PD charger is essentially a type of PD charger (USB-C to USB-C) that uses a semiconductor made up of Gallium (Ga) and Nitrogen (N) as aforementioned. Due to this, it enjoys the perks of having better heat dissipation, greater power conversion, and efficiency. As of the current market scene, we can find a GaN PD charger that can deliver up to 140W of power.
What is a Normal PD Charger?
A Normal Power Delivery charger uses a USB-C port for output. Its semiconductor is made up of silicon materials with lesser power efficiency. It supports fast charging via a USB-C to USB-C connection and can provide up to 100W of power. A normal power adapter with a USB-C port can be termed a PD charger, to put into common words. Some normal PD chargers also have a USB-A port.
Comparing a GaN PD Charger and a Normal PD Charger
Size
The primary advantage of a GaN charger is that, it comes in a more smaller form factor. And for a GaN PD charger, it remains the same. So, it has a lightweight body in comparison to a normal PD charger, making it easier to carry on day-to-day usage. Plus despite the smaller size, it can deliver fast charging for your smartphones and laptop alike. Looking at the current market scene, we can get up to 140W power GaN chargers. Meanwhile, PD chargers can also do that, but they tend to come with a heavier body and boast power up to 100W.
A GaN PD Charger (Left), A Normal PD Charger (Right)
Let’s just look at this image, the white charger is a normal 65W PD charger from Realme and the other one is a 65W RoboGaN PD charger from Ugreen. The former one is bigger and heavier than the latter. And that pretty much sums up the difference in terms of size.
Heat Dissipation and Efficiency
Normal PD chargers can get hot quite quickly while charging multiple devices or a single device requiring higher wattage power. Meanwhile, GaN PD chargers convert AC to DC power with higher efficiency than normal PD chargers with silicon-based semiconductors. So, it can dissipate heat much better than the normal ones. This is also applicable for a non-PD GaN charger.
Protocols
Both the GaN PD charger and a normal PD charger rely on the same Power Delivery protocol. This is a widely popular protocol that can fast charge your iPhone, Samsung, Pixel phones, Macbook, and other PD-supported devices. But let me remind you, it also depends upon the wattage power of the chargers. Like, a device needing 100W of PD must be charged by a 100W GaN PD or a normal 100W PD charger, to leverage the maximum charging speed, as simple as that! But some GaN PD chargers with multiple ports also come with USB-A ports, having Quick Charge support which is pretty handy for supported devices.
Meanwhile, normal PD chargers can also have support for other protocols. For example, OnePlus and Oppo also bundle PD chargers with USB-C to USB-C connection, (not to be confused with USB-A to USB-C chargers) in the box for their flagship phones. This is actually a bit different than normal PD chargers. Because you get support for PD and Oppo/OnePlus/Realme’s SuperVOOC charging protocols via the same USB-C port. The same goes for Vivo and iQOO PD chargers which support PD plus FlashCharge support.
Ports
A normal GaN PD charger usually comes with a single USB-C port. But with the price increase, you can also find GaN PD chargers with multiple ports such as 3x USB-C and 1x USB-A port, or 2x USB-C and 1x USB-A port and such. So you can charge up to four devices at a time, that too at high efficiency and better heat dissipation. So, a 140W GaN PD charger can charge a Macbook Air (30W), two Galaxy S24 smartphones (25W), Redmi 14C (18W), and a TWS at the same time. In contrast, a normal PD charger usually comes with a single USB-C port and sometimes 1x USB-A and 1x USB-C port. But while charging multiple devices, it would heat up pretty swiftly.
A GaN PD charger from a trusted brand comes with multiple layers of safety measures. For example, the Ugreen 100W Uno GaN charger includes protection against overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuit, overtemperature, overpower, and such. In comparison, a normal PD charger misses out on multiple levels of such protection.
Digging up several online stores, I have found Ugreen, Anker, Prolink, Remax, Aukey, Choetech, Joyroom, Promate, and such. Among them, Ugreen and Anker are quite reliable names in the market. Plus, coming from my personal experience, I can bet on the GaN PD chargers from Ugreen, they boast top-notch quality and are superbly reliable. Plus, the pricing of Ugreen chargers is also at a good spot. But, you can opt for any PD GaN chargers of other brands but always make sure to do a little background search and watch some reviews.
Where to buy PD GaN chargers in Nepal?
You can purchase GaN PD chargers from all major online stores including our affiliate partner Hukut store.
GaN PD Charger vs Normal PD Charger: Conclusion
So, you might have already learned why a GaN PD charger is better than a normal/traditional PD charger. There are multiple good perks to choosing it over the other, like a smaller body, better heat dissipation and efficiency, better safety measures, and more ports. When it comes to pricing, these chargers are generally priced higher than a normal PD charger. So, if your budget is pretty tight, you can go for a normal PD charger too. But the price difference is not that mighty to change your buying decision from GaN to a normal PD charger.

Huawei is gearing up to launch the Mate 70 series later this month. The lineup will reportedly include the Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, Mate 70 Pro+, and the premium Mate 70 RS, with the latter expected to be the most feature-packed of the bunch. In this article, we will discuss the Huawei Mate 70 series rumors, specifications, and launch date.
Huawei Mate 70 Series rumors
Design and Display
The Huawei Mate 70 series will likely feature a more angular, flat-frame design compared to its predecessor’s rounded edges.
As per the leaked image on Weibo, the display will have three punch holes (again) – which is polarizing for sure. These cutouts are likely to include one for the front-facing camera and the other two for a 3D ToF (Time of Flight) system used for facial recognition and enhanced security. Additionally, the power button on the right side of the device will be larger, offering improved usability.
Performance
Under the hood, the Mate 70 series is expected to be powered by the new Kirin 9100 chipset. This octa-core SoC will feature a powerful combination of cores, including a single Cortex-X1 core clocked at 2.67 GHz for demanding tasks, alongside three Cortex-A78 cores running at 2.32 GHz for balanced performance.
Additionally, the chipset will include four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.02 GHz, designed to be more energy-efficient for lighter tasks. The Kirin 9100 will be coupled with Huawei’s custom Maleoon 910 GPU, and it will be manufactured using SMIC’s N+3 process node (6nm).
Moreover, this new series will likely have the HarmonyOS Next (Huawei’s first OS).
In terms of camera design, the Mate 70 series is expected to borrow elements from the Mate 50 series, with four cameras arranged in a square formation, housed within a circular or octagonal module.
While the camera design appears similar, the sensors are reportedly larger. However, details regarding the internal specifications of the camera setup are still scarce.
Huawei Mate 70 Series Launch and Availability
Richar Yu, CEO of the CBG Division confirmed that the Huawei Mate 70 series will be released on November 26, 2024. Since, the Mate 60 costs CNY 5,999 (~ 112,000NPR converted), we expect the Huawei Mate 70 price in Nepal to start around NPR 155,000 if the series somehow makes it here.
