Which power bank should I choose?

Aug 10, 2026

If you’re thinking about buying your first power bank, or if you’ve had one previously and are now wondering which the best power bank is, then you should know that there are a lot of things to consider before making your decision. What differentiates the different power banks can come down to their functionalities, how much charge they hold, and their size - and we have therefore put together a brief yet comprehensive guide that will help you make a decision, and keep you informed as a customer. Our goal is to help you navigate all the options and technical terms so that you can truly find exactly what you are looking for. Check out our collection of power banks. What is a power bank? Let’s start with a basic - which is what a power bank actually is. If you want to put it as simply as possible then it is a battery. If you want to go into a little more detail then a power bank is a portable battery device that allows you to charge your devices (such as your smartphone, smartwatch, tablet, headphones, or e-reader) when you don’t have access to a wall outlet. It therefore works like a backup electrical source that you can bring with you, storing energy that can be transferred to your devices via USB cable. They come in different sizes and capacities, ranging from small pocket-sized chargers that can recharge your phone once to larger models that can charge multiple devices at the same time, and several times over. 3 important things to consider when choosing a power bank As we stated previously, there are several things to consider when you are buying a power bank, and they all come down to what you are looking to get out of your purchase. For instance, maybe you just need something small and easy that you can keep in your bag for an emergency, or you need something more substantial to charge all of your devices when traveling or camping. Based on our experience, however, it mostly boils down to three main considerations: Battery capacity: When buying a power bank, battery capacity is a crucial factor to consider. The capacity, measured in milliampere-hours (abbreviated to mAh), determines how much charge the power bank can store. We always advise our customers to choose a power bank with a capacity higher than the battery capacity of the device its meant to charge. So, as an example: if your smartphone has a 3,000mAh battery, then that means a 20,000mAh power bank can charge it approximately 6 times. Amount of ports: Consider the number of devices you need to charge simultaneously. Power banks with multiple USB ports allow charging several devices at once, such as a smartphone and a tablet or multiple smartphones, providing convenient and flexible charging options. Functionality: When considering functionality in a power bank, decide between wired or wireless charging based on your needs. Wired power banks are faster and more efficient, while wireless models offer convenience by eliminating cables but charge slower. Additionally, consider the physical size—smaller power banks are lighter and more portable, while larger ones provide higher capacity but may be bulkier to carry. Different kinds of power banks at Lux-Case In our selection, you’ll find a wide range of different power banks - but what does that mean, and what sets them apart? The answer to that is that it comes down to a lot of different things, such as the amount of power it holds, what special functions it provides as well as its physical size and dimensions. To make it as easy as possible, we have divided it into three separate categories, based on what we know our customers consider important. Power banks with wireless charging Wireless power banks offer convenient, cable-free charging for compatible devices. They work through electromagnetic induction, using coils to generate a magnetic field that transfers energy to the device. The main benefits include portability, reduced wear on the device ports, and compatibility across multiple Qi and MagSafe-enabled devices. We would be remiss to not highlight the fact that compatibility with wireless charging is key, and if your device does not support the wireless charging Qi standard then the power bank will not work. Take a closer look at our most popular wireless power bank. Power banks with wired charging Wired power banks store electrical energy in an internal battery and transfer it to devices via USB cables, exactly in the same way as when you plug it into the wall at home. They offer several key benefits: faster charging speeds compared to wireless alternatives, efficient power distribution, and broad device compatibility. Most wired power banks feature multiple charging ports, allowing simultaneous charging of several devices. Additionally, they typically have higher battery capacities ranging from 10,000mAh to 30,000mAh, making them ideal for extended use. Additionally, wired power banks are generally more affordable and provide a direct, stable power connection that ensures quick and reliable charging for smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices Our most powerful power bank with wired charging. Pocket-friendly power banks For a lot of people, the power bank must be as portable as the device it is intended to charge. This of course makes sense, since you might not want to have to bring a bag or have the bag you’re already bringing be weighed down, just for the convenience of being able to charge your smartphone or smartwatch while on the go. This is where a smaller, more pocket-sized power bank comes into the picture. The con of these products is that the smaller size means that they can only carry a reduced charge, but for many the convenience of being able to keep it in your pocket outweighs the cons. A small but incredibly useful smaller power bank. FAQ What devices can I use a power bank for? Power banks can charge a wide range of electronic devices, including smartphones, tablets, portable game consoles, wireless earbuds, smartwatches, and other USB-powered gadgets. They're versatile portable chargers that provide emergency power when you're away from electrical outlets, ensuring your devices stay charged during travel, work, or leisure activities. Can I bring a power bank on a plane? Yes, you can bring a power bank on a plane, but it must be in your carry-on baggage. Most airlines allow power banks up to 100 watt-hours, equivalent to approximately 27,000mAh. However, to be sure, we recommend that you always check your airline's specific regulations to ensure compliance and safety. How many times can a power bank charge my device? This is a good question and comes down to how much charge the power bank itself holds. As a rule of thumb, which might seem obvious, the higher mAh the power bank has, the more charges it also holds. However, this is also highly dependent on the size of the battery in your device, which can vary heavily from model to model. When it comes to the options in our selection, then you can consult the following to get an overview of what each mAh means: 5000mAh: A power bank with 5000mAh allows you to charge your phone 1 - 2 times, your smartwatch 10 - 15 times and will take most tablets up to a 50% charge. 10000mAh: A power bank with 10000mAh allows you to charge your phone 2 - 4 times, your smartwatch 20 - 40 times and your tablet once. 20000mAh: A power bank with 20000mAh means being able to charge your phone 4 - 7 times, your smartwatch 40 - 60 times, and your tablet roughly twice.

Aug 10, 2026

So if you're more interested in checking things out for yourself, you can check out the links yourself, but if you want to read more, we suggest you keep scrolling.

Macbook cases with pockets See this product on a Macbook here. Best Macbook cases in all categories Below you can see what we consider to be the best case for Macbook based on the different categories that we know our customers prefer. This way, we hope to give you a better overview of what's on the market so you can make a decision on what's best for you and how you use your Macbook. Transparent Macbook case The appeal of a transparent Macbook case is that it offers the best of both worlds: protection and preservation of the device's original aesthetic. A top seller across different product lines, this ingenious accessory caters to those who appreciate the sleek design of their Macbook but want an extra layer of security. The case's crystal-clear composition lets the laptop's true colours shine through, preserving its pristine appearance while protecting it from scratches, scuffs and minor bumps. For minimalists who appreciate the clean lines and elegant finish of their Macbook, this transparent case is a game-changer. It offers peace of mind without compromising on style, allowing users to enjoy the natural beauty of their device while ensuring its longevity. The discreet presence of the case is almost unnoticeable, but it plays a crucial role in maintaining the resale value of the laptop and keeping it looking brand new for years to come. What's more, this transparent case offers practical benefits beyond aesthetics. It provides an easy-to-grip surface that reduces the risk of slipping and accidentally dropping it. The case's durability also means it can withstand daily wear and tear, absorbing the brunt of minor accidents and keeping your Macbook in pristine condition. For those who appreciate both form and function, this transparent case is the perfect balance with an invisible shield that allows you to enjoy your Macbook's design while providing the protection you need. See our collection of cases for all Macbooks. Macbook case with design At the opposite end of the spectrum, we find those who want to give their Macbook a completely new look through a unique case. This choice can have many reasons: maybe you've grown tired of the original aesthetic or you feel your laptop deserves a more personalised touch. It could also be that you simply want to stand out in a world where many Macbooks look the same. These cases offer an exciting opportunity to express your individuality and creativity. They come in a multitude of colours, patterns and designs to match any personal style or mood. From bold, colourful patterns to sophisticated, minimalist designs, the possibilities are endless. But these cases are more than just a fashion phenomenon. They combine style with substance by also providing robust protection against everyday hazards. They absorb shocks, prevent scratches and protect against general wear and tear, ensuring your Macbook stays in top shape, inside and out. By choosing such a case, you're not only taking a step towards personalising your digital companion, but you're also investing wisely in its long-term maintenance. It's a perfect solution for those who want to add a touch of their own personality to their technology while protecting their valuable investment from everyday challenges. Check out our collection of cases for all Macbook Pro models. Best protective Macbook case When it comes to protecting your Macbook, the most robust protective cases stand out as the ultimate shield against potential damage. These heavy-duty cases represent the ultimate in laptop protection, offering fortress-like defence for your valuable device. While they may take up a little more space and weight on your Macbook, for users who prioritise durability above all else, they provide unparalleled peace of mind. These comprehensive cases are constructed with advanced materials designed to absorb heavy impacts, resist scratches and even provide a degree of water resistance. They often feature reinforced corners, raised edges to protect the screen and ports, and a multi-layer construction that combines shock-absorbing materials with a hard outer shell. For professionals working in challenging environments, students with hectic lifestyles, or anyone who frequently travels with their Macbook, these rugged cases are an invaluable investment. They are built to withstand accidental drops, bumps and the daily use that can otherwise lead to costly repairs or replacements. While these protective cases can alter the slim profile of your Macbook, they offer customisation options to suit different tastes. Many are available in a variety of colours and finishes, allowing users to express their style while prioritising protection. Some even have extra features like enhanced ventilation to prevent overheating or built-in stands for ergonomic use. For those who see their Macbook as an essential tool rather than just a stylish accessory, these comprehensive protective cases ensure their device remains functional and protected in even the most demanding circumstances. The compromise in size and weight is a small price to pay for the extended lifespan and reliability these cases bring to your valuable Macbook. See our collection of cases for all Macbook Air models. Macbook case with pockets One of the many benefits of a Macbook is that it transforms your space into an office, creative hub or library. With its raw and powerful processing power and fast speeds, you can work on any project on the bus, in the park or wherever you are, just like you can at your desk. But when you take your laptop out into the world, you also expose it to a new level of risk and potential accidents, both those that come with accidents and wear and tear, but also those that come with exposure to new elements. Another thing that comes with taking your Macbook out of the house and into the world is a lack of storage space for your physical belongings, whether it's pens you use to take notes at school, calendars where you write down all your important work dates, or business cards and flyers handed out at meetings and conferences. To solve these problems, we have a great product: a protective Macbook case with pockets. With one of these, you can keep everything you need in your everyday life in one place - along with your laptop. These products are great for those of us who want to keep everything organised while still making sure their Macbook stays safe.

The best iPad cases

Aug 10, 2026

Here at Lux-Case, we've been in the iPad accessory business ever since the first one came out back in 2010. For more than a decade now, that means we've seen different products come and go, including all trends, styles and brands. During this time, we've seen and tested both the very best and the... well, the not so good. So instead of just sitting on all this knowledge, we decided to create an overview of the best iPad cases on the market based on things like materials, features and price. To complete this in-depth guide, and so you don't just have to take our word for it, you can also find the 3 best-selling iPad cases here at Lux-Case so you can see what our customers think too. Let's dive in. The best iPad cases in test Below you'll find a thorough guide to what we consider to be the best options on the market when it comes to iPad cases. You'll also find our rationale and explanations for each option and opinion. But if you just want a quick list, you can see it here: The best of the best If you want something that's protective, functional and on the cheaper side, we recommend these stylish cases with a foldable lid. Check out this case for iPad Pro 12.9. Most cost-effective If you want something cheap and easy to use that provides basic protection while improving the grip on your iPad, we recommend a simple silicone back case. Check out this case for iPad Pro 12.9. Robust and durable If you're looking for something a little more robust that can be used in both harsher climates and tough conditions, such as on a construction site, we recommend you invest in a reliable and durable case. Check out this case for iPad Pro 11. Full of functionality If you use your iPad for many different things (whether it's work, school or entertainment) and want to be able to lean it back, raise it up and place it on almost anything, we recommend a case that gives your iPad the functionality and usability of a screen. See this case for iPad 10.9. Best of the cheapest iPad cases There's nothing wrong with being conscious of your budget. In fact, there's a saying that the easiest money you'll ever make is the money you save. However, when it comes to protecting your iPad, this mindset is a double-edged sword. The iPad itself wasn't cheap, and it makes sense that you might want to invest even more money in it. That said, having a highly portable (and expensive) piece of technology with you all the time means you want to protect it, and as with most things, the cheaper the product, the cheaper the material. If you want to find the happy medium between price and protection, there are many good but cheaper options on the market - and the one we recommend most is a simple silicone case. These products attach to the back of the device and protect it from bumps and scratches, meaning minimal intervention and maximum ease of use. Silicone is durable and shock-absorbing, but it's also cheap to manufacture, which means products made from it are too. Advantages: Cheap, but still protective Lots of in-built functionality Disadvantages: Can be considered bulky Although cheap, it's still more expensive than other options See all our iPad Air 2 cases. iPad keyboard case With the way technology has evolved, more and more people today are looking at iPads as a suitable replacement for laptops. It's a logical line of thinking as both options provide roughly the same level of processing power, storage space and functionality, but the iPad has the advantage of being more portable and, depending on the model, cheaper than a laptop. But there is one specific area where a laptop has a clear advantage - and that is the keyboard. The touchscreen simply can't keep up in terms of typing speed or convenience, and it can be a real pain to hold - especially if you're typing for long periods of time. This is where cases with a built-in keyboard come in handy. The inside of the case's lid, which protects the screen when you're not using the tablet, is equipped with a smart keyboard so you can type as quickly and easily as on a laptop or desktop computer. Benefits: Combines both a keyboard and a case Turns your tablet into a laptop wherever you are Disadvantages: The extra functionality means a higher price tag Only solves one problem if you miss having a keyboard See all our iPad 10.2 2021 cases. iPad case that can be used as a laptop But if creating the feel of a laptop with a keyboard isn't enough, there are also iPad cases with built-in stands that allow you to either lean the tablet back at a more comfortable typing angle or elevate it above your desk. With either of these options, the feeling of using a laptop while using your iPad is almost one-to-one and may be the best option if you frequently use your tablet at school or work. Benefits: Gives you the whole laptop experience, not just the keyboard Incredibly functional and protective Cons: Can be considered bulky and heavy See all our iPad Pro 12.9 cases. iPad case for the construction site While they're great for entertainment and perfect for the kind of work you do at your desk, iPads (and all tablets, for that matter) also have the advantage of being portable and easy to take anywhere - including construction sites, especially in the construction industry. Construction sites and fragile technology don't always go hand in hand, which is why there is a separate market for iPad cases that are designed and engineered for more demanding use. Designed to meet the rugged and demanding needs of the workplace, these cases feature extra padding, raised corners and edges, and sometimes built-in screen protection. Some versions also come with shoulder straps and rotating holders on the back, making the tablet easier to carry, hold and display information on. Benefits: Robust and protective Added functionality and ease of use Disadvantages: The most bulky solution on the market Designed to fulfil a specific need that most people may not have See all our iPad Air 2019 cases. iPad case as a screen It's one thing to have a built-in keyboard or case that helps your iPad recreate the feeling of using a laptop, but what if you want to use your iPad as a screen and raise it up like your computer screen? There are solutions for that on the market too. Whether it's on your desk, living room table or kitchen table, being able to raise your iPad can mean less neck and eye strain and therefore make your experience more in line with your usage. For this purpose, we recommend a case with a stand on the back. A stand can both raise the iPad from the surface you've placed it on or help you lean it back at a more comfortable angle - whichever you prefer. Benefits: Allows you to raise and tilt the iPad More comfortable user experience Disadvantages: Can be considered bulky and heavy The lid means you don't have immediate access to the screen See all our iPad Pro 11 cases. iPad case for designers If you're a professional designer, an aspiring professional designer or just a creative person who likes to use their iPad for drawing and designing, there are a lot of options to enhance your user experience. Most importantly, most of them have a built-in place to store your Apple Pencil. The most important of these is a case with a folding lid, also known as a tri-fold case. The lid of these products can be folded into a stand, which means you can adjust the angle of your iPad to your preferred drawing position. There are also screen protectors that mimic the feeling of drawing on paper, giving a nice analogue feel in a decidedly digital medium. Benefits: Both multifunctional and protective Helps to provide a comfortable and analogue feel Disadvantages: Not appropriate if you want something simple On the more expensive side See all our Apple iPad 2018 cases. iPad Mini case You might notice that one of these is not like the other - namely that it's not dedicated to a specific product, but rather to a specific iPad model, namely the iPad Mini. This is for the simple reason that the iPad Mini stands out as the smallest in Apple's line of larger tablets with the regular iPad, iPad Air and iPad Pro. This is of course its most unique and important selling point, but it can also mean that it needs a little extra protection. For iPad Mini users, this means a crossroads of options - should you choose a minimalist case that fits the already minimal design but makes it less protective, or should you choose a larger case that protects more but makes the device bigger? The good news is that you don't have to choose because there are solutions on the market that are slim, easy to use and highly protective, giving you the best of both worlds. Most popular iPad cases at Lux-Case.ie As promised, you'll also hear from our customers with our list of the three best-selling iPad cases in our collection. The top three in our collection are: The first is a familiar face from above, the hard plastic drop-proof case with softer edges and a practical lid. See this iPad case in all colour combinations. Another foldable solution with a beautiful, durable design. Although less design-focused, these products are popular partly because of their protective features and because they fit in with the crowd. Check out this durable iPad case in all sorts of colours. Not only is this case incredibly robust and reliable, making it suitable for more demanding conditions, it also has another extra feature - a swivelling stand and a holder on the back. Read more about this paractical iPad case and see how it works. Methodology and sources To put together this guide, we have utilised our years of experience in Apple iPad accessories and the data and feedback we have received from our customers. Since we started, we've seen and tested it all and this has given us a good overview of what makes a case work and what doesn't.

iPhone 17: What We Know So Far

Aug 10, 2026

The iPhone 17 lineup is set to bring some of the most dramatic changes we've seen in years, with the all-new iPhone 17 Air potentially measuring just 5.5mm thick. While September is still the expected launch month, with the announcement likely coming on 9 September 2025, the leaks we're seeing suggest this isn't just another incremental update. Besides the ultra-slim Air model replacing the Plus variant, Apple appears to be going all-in on camera improvements. All four iPhone 17 models will reportedly feature a 24MP front-facing camera, doubling the resolution of the current 12MP sensors. The Pro models look even more impressive with three 48MP cameras and the possibility of 8x optical zoom, making this potentially Apple's biggest camera upgrade in years. We've gathered all the most reliable leaks and rumours to bring you the seven biggest changes coming to the iPhone 17 lineup – from its remarkable new design to substantial internal upgrades that will shape Apple's smartphone future.

The Arrival of iPhone 17 Air: A New Era of Slim Design Apple is reshaping its iPhone lineup in 2025 with the introduction of an ultra-slim variant that breaks new ground in smartphone design. The iPhone 17 Air represents a strategic shift, replacing the Plus model with something dramatically different that emphasises elegance and portability above all else. iPhone 17 Air thickness and build The most striking feature of the iPhone 17 Air is undoubtedly its extraordinary thinness. At just 5.5mm thick, it will be the thinnest iPhone ever created, significantly undercutting even the iPhone 6 (6.9mm), which has held the title for over a decade. This represents nearly a 40% reduction compared to the current iPhone 15 Pro Max (8.25mm). Achieving such a slim profile requires careful engineering choices in materials and construction. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a 7000 series aluminium frame with glass on both front and back. Interestingly, some sources suggest Apple might incorporate a titanium-aluminium alloy to enhance durability without adding excessive weight. This hybrid approach would provide structural rigidity whilst maintaining the device's featherlight 146g weight. Notably, this makes the iPhone 17 Air substantially lighter than the iPhone 16 Plus, which weighs a hefty 199g. For context, this places the Air in the same weight category as much smaller devices like the iPhone SE 2 (148g) or iPhone 13 mini (141g), despite offering a considerably larger 6.6-inch display. The sleek design isn't uniform throughout, however. The camera module will protrude significantly, with the device potentially measuring 9.5mm at the camera bump. Nevertheless, the overall aesthetic represents Apple's most ambitious design departure in years. If you’re looking to upgrade to the iPhone 17 Air upon release, then check out our collection of iPhone 17 Air cases, which will allow you to be ready as soon as your new phone is out of the box. Single camera and battery trade-offs Creating such a thin device inevitably involves compromises. The most significant concession appears to be in the camera department, where the iPhone 17 Air will feature just a single rear lens—a stark contrast to the multi-camera arrays users have grown accustomed to on premium smartphones. This lone shooter will be a 48MP wide-angle camera with f/1.6 aperture, dual pixel PDAF, and sensor-shift optical image stabilisation. Whilst this matches the main sensor specifications of standard iPhone models, the lack of ultrawide and telephoto capabilities represents a clear photography downgrade. Nevertheless, the high-resolution sensor should allow for reasonable digital zoom through cropping. Furthermore, the device is expected to receive an upgraded 24MP front-facing camera, a significant improvement over the 12MP selfie cameras in current models. This enhancement will be consistent across the entire iPhone 17 lineup. Perhaps the most controversial trade-off involves battery capacity. To accommodate the ultra-thin profile, the iPhone 17 Air will likely ship with a battery capacity between 2,800mAh and 3,000mAh. This represents a dramatic reduction from the 4,674mAh cell in the iPhone 16 Plus. Consequently, battery endurance is a legitimate concern. Apple's internal testing reportedly found that only 60-70% of iPhone 17 Air users will be able to go a full day without charging, compared to 80-90% for other iPhone models. To mitigate this limitation, Apple is developing optimisations including an adaptive power mode in iOS 26 that uses AI to automatically adjust performance and screen brightness. Target audience and pricing The iPhone 17 Air isn't designed for everyone. Rather than competing directly with the Pro models on specifications, it creates a new category aimed at users who prioritise aesthetics and portability over raw performance or photography capabilities. As Bloomberg's Mark Gurman explains, the Air targets those who "want something snazzier than a standard iPhone—but don't really need the performance, screen size or cameras of a Pro model". It's positioned for consumers who value premium design and are willing to accept certain compromises to achieve it. Regarding cost, multiple sources indicate the iPhone 17 Air will be priced to match the current iPhone 16 Plus. This places it between the standard iPhone 17 and the Pro models in Apple's pricing hierarchy. This strategic positioning makes sense given the device's specifications. While it sacrifices battery capacity and camera versatility, the Air offers several premium features including a 120Hz ProMotion display and the new A19 chip paired with 12GB of RAM. These enhancements help justify its mid-tier pricing despite the functional trade-offs. Whether the Air succeeds where previous mid-tier iPhones like the Mini and Plus variants struggled remains to be seen. However, industry analysts believe its distinctive design approach gives it a stronger chance of finding a dedicated audience than its predecessors. Major Camera Innovations in iPhone 17 Pro Models Photography enthusiasts have plenty to get excited about with the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models, as Apple is set to introduce what could be its most substantial camera upgrade in years. Unlike the iPhone 17 Air's single lens setup, the Pro variants will feature comprehensive improvements across their entire camera system. Triple 48MP camera system The iPhone 17 Pro models will mark a significant milestone in Apple's camera evolution by featuring a complete triple 48-megapixel camera system. Currently, the iPhone 16 Pro models have a 48MP main camera and 48MP ultra-wide camera, yet retain a 12MP telephoto lens. With this upcoming release, Apple is upgrading the telephoto camera to 48 megapixels as well, creating a uniformly high-resolution array across all three rear cameras. This upgraded 48MP telephoto camera represents a four-fold increase in resolution from the current generation. The primary advantage of this enhancement lies in the improved detail capture and additional flexibility for post-processing. With three 48MP sensors, users will enjoy consistent image quality regardless of which lens they choose for their shot. Additionally, the front-facing camera is also receiving a significant boost. All iPhone 17 models, including the Pro variants, will feature a 24-megapixel selfie camera, doubling the resolution of the current 12MP front camera. This enhancement will deliver sharper self-portraits and allow for more aggressive cropping without losing detail. 8x optical zoom and mechanical aperture Perhaps the most exciting camera improvement comes in the form of enhanced zoom capabilities. According to reliable sources, the iPhone 17 Pro models will feature up to 8x optical zoom, a substantial jump from the 5x optical zoom found in the iPhone 16 Pro series. What makes this zoom system particularly innovative is the implementation of a physically moving lens. This mechanism enables continuous optical zoom across multiple focal lengths, rather than fixed zoom levels. Such technology has previously only been seen in a handful of smartphones like Sony's Xperia series, giving Apple an edge over most competitors including Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra and Google's Pixel 9 Pro, which typically max out at 5x optical zoom. Furthermore, the iPhone 17 Pro may introduce a mechanical aperture for its Wide camera. Unlike current iPhones with fixed apertures, this variable system would allow users to adjust the aperture size, controlling the amount of light reaching the sensor. This addition gives photographers more control over depth of field and exposure, bringing the iPhone closer to DSLR-like manual controls. Pro camera app and dual recording To complement the hardware improvements, Apple is reportedly developing a new professional camera application. This pro-focused app aims to compete with popular third-party options like Halide, Kino, and Filmic Pro, which have long offered extended functionality beyond Apple's standard Camera app. Although details remain limited, the new app will handle both photos and videos with more advanced controls and features. It remains unclear whether this will be an entirely new application or a major overhaul of the existing Final Cut Camera app. Either way, it represents Apple's acknowledgment of the growing number of users who use their iPhones for professional content creation. One particularly useful feature coming to the iPhone 17 Pro models is dual video recording capability. This function will allow users to record video with both the front and rear cameras simultaneously directly through the built-in Camera app. While third-party apps like Snapchat already offer similar functionality, native integration will make this feature more accessible and likely offer better quality and performance. This dual recording capability would be especially valuable for content creators on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, enabling them to easily overlay a shot of their face over world-facing video. Viewers can watch creators speak and react while seeing what they're looking at – perfect for reaction videos, tutorials, and vlogs. The camera system may also support 8K video recording, up from the current 4K maximum. With the entire rear camera system now featuring 48MP sensors, the hardware will finally be capable of capturing this ultra-high-resolution video format. According to sources, Apple had initially tested 8K recording on iPhone 16 Pro models but ultimately didn't include the feature. Given these camera improvements, it's clear that Apple is positioning the iPhone 17 Pro models as serious tools for photographers and videographers. The combination of hardware upgrades and software enhancements should provide creative professionals with unprecedented capabilities in a smartphone form factor. You can take a look at our collection of iPhone 17 Pro cases already, if you’re thinking about upgrading to it upon release. iPhone 17 Display and Visual Experience The display experience across the entire iPhone 17 lineup is poised for a major upgrade in 2025, with Apple making significant changes that will blur the traditional boundaries between standard and Pro models. LTPO and 120Hz refresh rate For the first time, all four iPhone 17 models will feature ProMotion display technology with a 120Hz maximum refresh rate. This represents a substantial improvement for the standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air, which will finally move beyond the 60Hz displays that have remained unchanged for years. The enhanced refresh rate delivers noticeably smoother scrolling, animations, and video playback across the entire range. This upgrade is made possible by Apple's decision to equip every iPhone 17 model with low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) OLED panels. LTPO technology enables much greater power efficiency at higher refresh rates, allowing displays to dynamically adjust between 1Hz and 120Hz depending on the content being shown. At the lower end, this enables features like the always-on display, whilst higher refresh rates activate when scrolling through content or playing compatible games. The standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are expected to use the same OLED panel currently found in iPhone 16 Pro models, sourced from Samsung. These displays offer approximately 30% increased brightness and improved longevity compared to those in the standard iPhone 16 models. Moreover, some reports indicate the base iPhone 17 might feature a larger 6.3-inch screen (precisely 6.27 inches), compared to the 6.1-inch display on the iPhone 16. Interestingly, certain sources suggest the non-Pro models might receive 120Hz displays without full ProMotion capabilities. This could mean they operate at fixed refresh rates (perhaps 60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz) rather than the complete variable range found in Pro models. Dynamic Island and metalens changes The Dynamic Island, introduced with iPhone 14 Pro in 2022, may receive its first major redesign since inception. According to analyst Jeff Pu, all four iPhone 17 models will adopt metalens technology for Face ID. This revolutionary approach uses flat lenses with metasurfaces to focus light rather than traditional curved lenses. By integrating the Face ID transmitter and receiver components into a single unit, metalens technology could enable Apple to reduce the size of certain Face ID components, subsequently resulting in a smaller Dynamic Island across the lineup. Digital Chat Station, a reliable leaker, specifically mentioned the iPhone 17 Pro Max would benefit from this change, though Pu now believes all models will incorporate the technology. Not everyone agrees on the Dynamic Island's future dimensions, however. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested in January that its size would remain "largely unchanged" across the iPhone 17 series. Given these conflicting reports from sources with proven track records, the final design remains somewhat uncertain. Beyond hardware changes, the Dynamic Island interface itself is reportedly set for a "significant evolution". According to leaker Majin Bu, "Apple appears committed to making it more functional and integrated, turning it into a key element of the user experience". While specific details remain scarce, this suggests meaningful software enhancements to complement any physical redesign. Nano-texture and anti-reflective coating One anticipated display upgrade appears to have hit a roadblock. Apple had been working on a super scratch-resistant anti-reflective display coating for the iPhone 17 Pro models. This would have made them the first iPhones with a dedicated anti-reflective display, potentially reducing reflections significantly whilst improving durability. Unfortunately, Apple encountered scaling issues with the manufacturing process. The coating application was simply too slow when considering the millions of devices Apple produces annually, even when limited to Pro models. As a result, this feature has reportedly been cancelled for the iPhone 17 lineup. This setback places Apple at a potential disadvantage compared to Samsung, whose Galaxy S24 Ultra features Gorilla Glass Armour that reduces reflections by up to 75%. The technology noticeably improves contrast in bright lighting conditions and makes colours appear more true to life even in direct sunlight. Apple does currently offer nano-texture display technology for Mac and iPad Pro models to reduce glare. Yet this has never been extended to the iPhone lineup. It remains unclear whether Apple might pivot to nano-texture glass as an alternative solution or simply postpone anti-reflective display improvements until manufacturing challenges can be overcome. Performance Boost with A19 Chip and RAM Upgrades The power under the hood of the iPhone 17 family represents one of Apple's most substantial internal upgrades in recent memory. With the new A19 series of chips, significant RAM increases, and advanced thermal management, Apple appears determined to push mobile performance boundaries whilst maintaining efficiency. A19 vs A19 Pro chipsets Apple's A19 chip family will be manufactured using TSMC's third-generation 3-nanometer process (N3P), an advancement over the N3E process used in the A18 series. This refined fabrication method delivers approximately 5% better performance at identical power levels compared to its predecessor. The distribution of these chips across the lineup remains somewhat contentious among leakers. Essentially, all iPhone 17 models will receive some version of the A19 chip, albeit with meaningful distinctions between variants: iPhone 17: Standard A19 chip iPhone 17 Air: Possibly A19 Pro with 5-core GPU iPhone 17 Pro: A19 Pro with 6-core GPU iPhone 17 Pro Max: A19 Pro with 6-core GPU This configuration would mark a strategic shift from previous generations, where non-Pro models typically received last year's chips. Indeed, giving the new iPhone 17 Air an A19 Pro chip—even with one fewer GPU core—suggests Apple is positioning it as a premium offering despite its ultra-thin profile. Performance improvements are expected to be substantial, with some sources indicating a 20-25% speed boost over previous generation processors. This enhancement primarily benefits resource-intensive activities like video editing and gaming, whilst maintaining consistent performance during extended use. 12GB RAM across models Perhaps the most consequential upgrade involves memory expansion. The iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max, and Air models are all expected to feature 12GB of RAM, a remarkable 50% increase over the 8GB found in current iPhone 16 models. The standard iPhone 17 model presents a more complicated situation. Initially, Ming-Chi Kuo reported Apple would make a final decision by May 2025 on whether to equip it with 12GB or retain 8GB. Henceforth, newer leaks from Digital Chat Station claim all iPhone 17 models will feature 12GB RAM, whereas Jeff Pu suggests the base model might remain at 8GB. This memory expansion serves several critical functions: Enables larger, more capable AI models to run locally Improves speed and responsiveness of complex tasks Supports smoother multitasking with AI processes running in background The RAM type may differ slightly between models, with Pro versions reportedly receiving LPDDR5X while the Air could use LPDDR5, correspondingly affecting performance and power efficiency. Vapour chamber cooling system To manage heat generated by these powerful components, Apple is integrating advanced thermal management technology. The iPhone 17 Pro models will almost certainly incorporate a vapour chamber cooling system, with some reports suggesting the feature might extend to all iPhone 17 variants. This cooling mechanism consists of a thin, sealed metal chamber containing a small amount of liquid. During intensive tasks: The device heats up, converting liquid to vapour Pressure pushes vapour through microchannels Heat disperses across the chamber's surface area Vapour cools and condenses back to liquid Process repeats continuously The copper plates contain delicate microchannels throughout and would cover the entire circuit board—including processor, memory, and networking chips. Albeit more complex than current solutions, this approach distributes heat more effectively than the graphene pad and metal enclosure currently used. This cooling advancement should allow for "higher sustained performance under heavy load with virtually no throttling", addressing a longstanding issue where iPhones must reduce performance during extended intensive use to prevent overheating. Combined with the A19 Pro's enhanced thermal management, these innovations should finally resolve the recurring problem where "performance gains of the chip offset the improvements in cooling", delivering more consistent real-world performance. Battery Life and Charging Enhancements Battery technology undergoes dramatic shifts across the iPhone 17 lineup, with Apple pursuing two opposite design philosophies—ultra-slim efficiency in the Air model versus maximum capacity in the Pro Max. iPhone 17 Air's 2800mAh battery The pursuit of extreme thinness in the iPhone 17 Air comes with considerable power compromises. This model will feature a battery capacity of approximately 2,800 mAh, making it significantly smaller than any iPhone 16 model. In comparison, the current iPhone 16 has a 3,561 mAh battery whilst the 16 Plus boasts a substantial 4,674 mAh cell. Such a dramatic reduction raises legitimate concerns about daily usage. Apple's internal testing indicates that merely 60-70% of iPhone 17 Air users will complete a full day without requiring a recharge. For context, this metric ranges between 80-90% for other iPhone models. To counterbalance these limitations, Apple has developed two solutions. First, iOS 26 introduces a new Adaptive Power mode specifically designed to extend battery life through intelligent power management. Secondly, Apple plans to release a dedicated battery case as an optional accessory for the Air model, reviving a product category that hasn't seen updates since the iPhone 11 era. 5000mAh in iPhone 17 Pro Max At the opposite end of the spectrum, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will apparently become Apple's first smartphone to cross the 5,000 mAh battery threshold, a capacity that has long been standard in premium Android devices. This represents a meaningful increase from the 4,685 mAh battery found in the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Given Apple's typically excellent power optimisation, this enlarged battery could potentially deliver between 36-40 hours of video playback—a remarkable figure that would establish the iPhone 17 Pro Max as the undisputed battery champion in Apple's lineup. The iPhone 16 Pro Max already offers 33 hours of video playback, so this improvement would be substantial. The expanded battery capacity appears to be part of a deliberate strategy shift. Whilst the iPhone 17 Air caters to those who prioritise aesthetics and portability, the Pro Max seems positioned as a "no compromises" device that emphasises function over form, even if it results in a slightly thicker profile. No matter if they end up sticking with the traditional Pro Max naming convention or changing it to Ultra, you’ll find all of our iPhone 17 Pro Max cases in a vast array of options. Electrically released adhesive and MagSafe redesign A practical yet important improvement coming to the entire iPhone 17 lineup involves how batteries are attached inside the devices. All four models will adopt the electrically released adhesive technology that Apple debuted on the non-Pro iPhone 16 models. This innovative approach allows batteries to be removed by simply running an electrical current through the adhesive, which temporarily reduces its strength. As a result, technicians can extract batteries with minimal force, eliminating the need for heat guns, crowbars, and other potentially damaging tools previously required for battery replacements. Furthermore, Apple is expected to enhance wireless charging capabilities by supporting the Qi 2.2 standard across the iPhone 17 lineup. This upgrade will enable faster 25W wireless charging speeds with compatible chargers, compared to previous limitations. Some reports even suggest the iPhone 17 Pro Max might support up to 35W charging, representing a substantial improvement over current capabilities. The MagSafe system itself is reportedly receiving a redesign, with Apple submitting regulatory filings for two new MagSafe charger models. These updated chargers should provide better magnetic alignment and improved energy efficiency, addressing common complaints about previous generations. iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence Integration The forthcoming iOS 26 marks Apple's most extensive software redesign since iOS 7, bringing fresh experiences that will dramatically enhance how users interact with the iPhone 17 lineup. This substantial update introduces not only visual refinements but fundamental changes to how Apple's intelligence features integrate with everyday tasks. Liquid Glass UI and new features At the heart of iOS 26 lies "Liquid Glass"—a revolutionary design language with translucent elements that reflect and refract surroundings. This new material extends throughout the interface, from small interactive elements like buttons and switches to larger components such as tab bars and sidebars. Interestingly, Apple has shifted to a year-based naming system for iOS (hence iOS 26 rather than iOS 19). The design draws inspiration from the Vision Pro headset, creating harmony across Apple's ecosystem. One striking feature is the adaptive time display on the lock screen, which intelligently adjusts to fit around photo subjects. Users can even opt for a completely "Clear" look for app icons, replacing traditional coloured icons with transparent glass versions. When scrolling through apps, tab bars dynamically shrink to emphasise content, then fluidly expand when users scroll back up. Visual Intelligence and AI tools iOS 26 significantly expands Visual Intelligence capabilities beyond just camera usage. For the first time, this technology extends to anything displayed on the iPhone 17's screen. Users can capture screenshots and analyse them with Visual Intelligence to identify objects, search for similar products, or ask ChatGPT questions about on-screen content. A standout feature is "Highlight to Search," which allows users to circle specific elements within screenshots—similar to Android's Circle to Search—and find related information. Visual Intelligence now recognises art, books, landmarks, and sculptures alongside its existing ability to identify plants and animals. The system can even detect calendar events on screen and offer to add them directly to your schedule. Gaming, Messages, and Maps updates The all-new Games app serves as a centralised hub for iPhone 17 users' gaming activities. This dedicated application organises all installed games while offering personalised recommendations and enabling score-based competitions with friends through a "Play Together" tab. Messages receives meaningful upgrades including a polling feature for group chats and Live Translation, which automatically translates conversations across different languages in real-time. Customisable chat backgrounds add personalisation options. Maps becomes more intuitive with its ability to remember visited places (with user permission) and learn preferred routes. The app can now proactively alert users about potential delays on frequently travelled paths, suggesting alternatives before you even leave home. Design and Build Materials Across the Lineup Beyond performance and display upgrades, the iPhone 17 series introduces noteworthy alterations to its physical construction. Lastly, we will, of course, ensure that our collection of iPhone 17 cases, for the original version, is fully stocked as well. Aluminium vs titanium frames Surprisingly, Apple appears ready to abandon titanium frames merely one generation after introducing them. Reports indicate all iPhone 17 models, including the Pro variants, will switch to aluminium frames. This represents a significant shift considering titanium was heavily marketed as a premium feature for iPhone 16 Pro models just last year. The iPhone 17 Air specifically is expected to feature grade 7000 aluminium. Primarily, this change might be driven by cost considerations, as titanium is approximately 10-15 times more expensive than aluminium. Interestingly, aluminium is actually lighter than titanium, yet titanium offers superior durability. Camera bump redesign The most visible external change involves the camera arrangement. Rather than maintaining the square bump design, Apple will reportedly adopt a larger rectangular camera bump spanning the entire width of the device. This aluminium-constructed housing represents a dramatic departure from current aesthetics. The cameras themselves may be arranged horizontally within this extended bump, giving the iPhone 17 Pro a distinctly Google Pixel-like appearance. MagSafe alignment and logo repositioning Consequently, the iconic Apple logo will shift position, moving noticeably lower on the iPhone 17 Pro. This marks the first logo repositioning since the iPhone 11 series. Additionally, the MagSafe magnet arrangement will feature a distinctive gap in its circular formation, specifically designed to showcase the repositioned logo. Despite these adjustments, existing MagSafe accessories should remain fully compatible.

The complete guide to smartwatch screen protectors: types, installation & tips

Nov 4, 2025

Your smartwatch goes everywhere with you - to the gym, the office, and even to bed. But between metal weights, car keys, and door frames, that sleek touchscreen is constantly at risk of getting scratched or chipped. If you’ve ever wondered whether you really need a screen protector for your smartwatch, or which type works best for your model, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know - from protector types to application tips and maintenance. Whether you own a Garmin, Apple Watch, Fitbit, Samsung Galaxy Watch, Polar, Suunto, or Huawei, we’ve got you covered. Why screen protection matters Modern smartwatches are built to last - many use reinforced glass like Gorilla Glass, Ion-X, or even Sapphire Crystal. Still, none of these materials is completely scratch-proof. Every day use exposes your watch to hazards you might not even notice or consider: Gym equipment and barbells Zippers and metal jewelry Keys or coins in your pocket Accidental bumps on desks or walls Even the toughest displays, like the sapphire glass on high-end Garmin and Apple Watch models, can develop micro-scratches that dull the screen over time. A screen protector adds an invisible layer of defense - absorbing scratches and impacts before they reach the glass beneath. → For most smartwatch owners, a protector is an inexpensive way to avoid a costly repair or replacement. Do smartwatches really need screen protectors? The answer depends partly on your lifestyle and your watch model. When you should use one: You work out regularly or wear your watch outdoors. You use your smartwatch in manual labor or industrial environments. You own a model with Ion-X or Gorilla Glass (common on non-premium versions). You want to keep resale value high by preserving the original screen. When you might skip it: You have a titanium/sapphire-glass watch and rarely wear it during workouts. You use a rugged case that already protects the edges and glass. Still, for most people, adding a thin layer of protection is a smart precaution - especially considering how much time we spend wearing these devices. Types of smartwatch screen protectors Not all protectors are created equal. Here are the most common types, with pros and cons to help you choose what fits your needs. 1. Tempered glass protectors Tempered glass is the most popular option - and for good reason. It feels just like the watch’s original glass, offers strong impact protection, and resists scratches exceptionally well. Pros: Excellent clarity and durability Feels natural to touch Easy to clean Cons: Slightly thicker than films May not fully cover curved screens → Best for: Outdoor users, athletes, and anyone who wants maximum protection. 2. TPU film protectors TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) protectors are flexible, ultra-thin films that conform closely to the screen - even if it’s curved. Pros: Edge-to-edge coverage Self-healing from small scratches Nearly invisible once applied Cons: Slightly less scratch-resistant Can take patience to install bubble-free → Best for: Those who want a discreet, flexible protector that doesn’t change how the screen feels. 3. Hydrogel protectors Hydrogel films are the latest generation of soft screen protectors, combining flexibility with better clarity and touch sensitivity. They also self-heal from scratches over time. Pros: Excellent touch response Self-healing surface Great fit for curved displays Cons: Slightly less durable against sharp impacts → Best for: Smartwatches with curved or edge-to-edge screens (e.g., Huawei Watch GT, Samsung Galaxy Watch). 4. Case-integrated protectors These combine a screen cover and protective case in one piece - perfect for high-impact environments or rugged outdoor use. Pros: All-around protection Easy to swap out Ideal for sports and manual work Cons: Adds bulk May reduce touchscreen sensitivity slightly → Best for: Outdoor enthusiasts, gym users, and anyone who is hard on their devices. How to choose the right protector for your smartwatch With so many options, the best protector depends on your watch model, how you use it, and your personal preferences. Before buying, consider: Shape of your watch screen: Flat vs. curved glass affects compatibility. Daily use: Are you mostly at a desk or in rugged environments? Ease of installation: Glass is simpler, but film fits tricky screens better. Thickness: If you use your watch for touch gestures or swipes, thinner films may feel smoother. Here’s a quick decision guide: Lifestyle Recommended protector Example models Gym & Sports TPU or Hydrogel Fitbit Charge, Polar Ignite, Huawei Band Outdoor / Hiking Tempered Glass Garmin Fenix, Suunto 9, Samsung Watch 5 Pro Everyday / Office Slim Film or Glass Apple Watch SE, Fitbit Versa Industrial / Rugged Case-Integrated Garmin Instinct, Grit X Pro → Tip: Always choose a protector made specifically for your model - even small shape differences (like the Apple Watch 8 vs 9) can affect fit. Step-by-step: how to apply a smartwatch screen protector Applying a protector can seem tricky, but it’s easy if you take your time and work in a clean space. Wash your hands. This prevents fingerprints or oil from getting trapped. Clean the screen. Use the included alcohol wipe or a lint-free microfiber cloth. Remove dust. Use the provided dust-removal sticker or a small piece of tape. Align carefully. Hold the protector by the edges and line it up with the display before letting it stick. Press from center outward. Smooth out bubbles with a soft cloth or the included scraper. Let it settle. Wait 10–15 minutes before touching or pressing on the screen. → If you get dust trapped underneath, gently lift the nearest corner using tape, remove the particle, and reapply. A quick installation done right gives you months, if not years, of clear protection. Maintenance & replacement tips A good screen protector can last six months to a year (sometimes more), depending on usage. Still, it’s a consumable accessory - it’s meant to take the damage so your watch doesn’t have to. Keep yours performing well by: Cleaning it weekly with a damp microfiber cloth. Avoiding harsh cleaners or alcohol wipes once applied. Replacing it if you notice deep scratches, bubbles, or peeling edges. If your protector gets damaged, remove it gently from one corner and clean the screen before applying a new one. Screen protection tips by brand type Different smartwatch brands use different display materials, shapes, and coatings - which means the right screen protector can vary quite a bit from one to another. Here’s how to choose the best fit for each major brand family. Mainstream fitness & everyday watches: Garmin, Fitbit & Apple Garmin and Fitbit watches tend to use Gorilla Glass or Ion-X glass, which are tough but not immune to scratches. If you’re active outdoors or at the gym, a tempered glass protector is a reliable choice for durability. Apple, on the other hand, uses both Ion-X (on standard models) and sapphire crystal (on Ultra or stainless models). Even sapphire can suffer fine scratches from sand or grit, so a thin glass protector keeps it looking flawless long-term. → Explore our Garmin, Fitbit, and Apple Watch screen protectors - each precisely cut for your model. Curved & high-tech displays: Samsung, Huawei & Xiaomi Brands like Samsung and Huawei often feature curved, edge-to-edge displays that look fantastic but are trickier to protect. TPU and hydrogel protectors are ideal for these - they flex to the contours of the glass and maintain full touch sensitivity. Xiaomi’s and Huawei’s newer fitness bands, with long, narrow screens, also benefit from self-healing film protectors that resist daily wear. → Find model-specific protection in our Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi screen protector collections. Adventure & performance brands: Suunto & Polar Polar and Suunto watches are built for performance - from mountain trails to triathlon training. Their tough, flat displays make them perfect for tempered glass or hybrid protectors, offering high clarity with strong impact resistance. → Check out our Polar and Suunto protectors - rugged, clear, and made for endurance. Lifestyle & fashion brands If your smartwatch is as much about style as it is about tracking, like models from Michael Kors, Fossil, or TicWatch, a slim, high-clarity glass protector preserves both look and feel. → Browse our Fossil and TicWatch collections to keep your display as sleek as your outfit. Common myths about screen protectors Let’s bust a few persistent myths: “They ruin touchscreen sensitivity.” High-quality protectors are designed to preserve touch accuracy - you won’t even notice it’s there. “They make the screen look dull.” Modern tempered glass and hydrogel protectors maintain full brightness and color clarity. “Only cheap smartwatches need them.” Even sapphire-coated displays can chip from impact or sand - prevention is always cheaper than repair. “They’re hard to apply.” With modern adhesive kits and dust-removal tools, installation takes under five minutes. Protect your investment Your smartwatch is more than just a timepiece - it’s a fitness tracker, health monitor, and personal assistant that you wear every day. A simple screen protector helps it stay flawless for years, through workouts, travel, and everyday life. Protecting your screen is one of the easiest, most affordable upgrades you can make.
