Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra will boost charging speed for a faster user experience. Leaks reveal upgrades to 60W wired and 25W wireless charging speeds for the flagship model. This turning point marks a long-awaited enhancement in Samsung’s charging capabilities since 2017.
Previous leaks reveal this essential move by Samsung to give the top-tier Galaxy S26 Ultra a significant charging upgrade, bumping the wired charging speed from 45W to 60W. Though this still can’t compete with the lightning speeds of the OnePlus 15, Xiaomi 17 Ultra or the Oppo Find X9 Pro, it’s a step forward in this key feature.
According to a report from Korean outlet ET News, Samsung is about to equip the Galaxy S26 Ultra with up to 25W fast wireless charging. The Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus will also get upgrades, supporting up to 20W wireless charging. Before now, all Galaxy models supported up to 15W wireless charging.
Galaxy S26 gets first wireless-charging upgrade in six years… Ultra to support 25W Samsung is upgrading the wireless-charging performance of its flagship “Galaxy S26” series, which it will launch early next year.

The report reveals that all upcoming models next year will feature faster speeds. It’s a welcome development as it will be the first time in almost six years that Samsung has upgraded wireless charging speeds.
The details about whether the Galaxy S26 series will support Qi2 charging speeds of up to 25W or include a built-in magnetic ring similar to the Pixel 10 series are yet to be known. It’s likely to see both Qi2 magnets and faster charging supported, since Samsung recently introduced its MagSafe-style chargers.
There have been many leaks about the Galaxy S26 series recently. Initially, it was thought that they would launch in February 2026, but a recent update suggests it will come in late January instead. After Samsung dropped the Galaxy S26 Edge for the Plus model because of poor sales of the S25 Edge, we got the first look at the Galaxy S26 Plus. Before the launch next year, there could still be new changes to the series.

Apple is known to follow the September ritual of launching its new mainline iPhones for the year, but that’s about to change. A new leak suggests that the release timing will be different for 2026. The popular Apple tipster, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg , has released a detailed report on when to expect the iPhone devices and what devices to expect in 2026 and 2027.
According to Gurman, this new pattern won’t just last for the Apple devices over the next 18 months, it will continue for years to come. So below, here’s a look at how Apple might be shaking things up.
iPhones for September/fall 2026
Gurman states that the next iPhones will come out in the fall of 2026, which is Apple’s usual release period. Premium iPhones like the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and probably the first foldable iPhone will arrive then. We won’t get to see the mid-range iPhones like the base iPhone 18, or any device from the SE or e line in September.
iPhone 18 will come in March/spring 2027
After launching the flagship iPhones in September 2026, the next iPhones will be the mid-range devices six months later in March 2027. Although there have been rumours of the next iPhone Air, the iPhone Air 2 might not launch until 2027. It will be accompanied by the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e.
Basically, what Apple wants to achieve is releasing the lower-end models in the first half of the year, followed by the higher-end devices in the second half. This will take effect from 2027. The leak also reveals that the iPhone Air 2 was never intended for a 2026 launch, disregarding previous rumours of the iPhone being delayed.
The iPhone Air was a testbed for the foldable iPhone
The iPhone Air 2 will receive a processor upgrade to improve the battery life. It will get a new 2nm chipset. Rumours suggest that the next iPhone Air will have a dual camera, but Gurman suggests it’s unlikely. The iPhone Air served as a prototype for the coming foldable iPhone. Apple’s first foldable iPhone will use similar materials, miniaturisation techniques, internal components, batteries, and software optimisations as the iPhone Air. Even though the iPhone Air didn’t sell well, the company isn’t really bothered since it was a preparation for the next big thing.
These are still unconfirmed by the company yet, but considering Gurman’s track record of sharing accurate leaks, this might just turn out to be true. Spreading the iPhone releases across the year reduces the pressure on workers and increases revenue for Apple. It no longer has to rely on a one-time release with peak sales and slower sales afterwards.
