Lenovo is launching a new line of products under the brand name "Lenovo Go," starting with a wireless-charging portable mouse and a portable battery pack with a large capacity.

"Built upon user insights," the Go product line claims to be designed for users who work partly in the office, partly at home, and partly on the road. The new devices aren't revolutionary by any means, but they could give a glimpse at the sorts of new offerings we can expect from companies like Lenovo moving forward. That remote-work emphasis is likely to guide product development for a while to come.

The new Lenovo Go USB-C Laptop Power Bank is a portable charger with a 20,000 mAh capacity capable of delivering power at 65 watts. It can charge up to three devices simultaneously, either wirelessly or wired.

Bloomberg has published yet another report sharing details of a planned Apple product launch. This time, the publication's sources say Apple is working on a magnetically attached battery pack for iPhones—it would be the first Apple-designed iPhone battery pack that does not double as a case.

The accessory would use the MagSafe feature introduced with the iPhone 12 lineup in October. It would magnetically attach to the back of new iPhones and presumably provide power wirelessly via the Qi standard that iPhones have adopted. According to Bloomberg's sources, the first prototypes have a "white rubber exterior."

Apple has also already shipped some MagSafe accessories for the iPhone, including a charging cable that uses the magnets and other components to optimally align the charging coils and produce faster charging speeds than were possible with previous iPhone models with non-MagSafe Qi charging capability.
