If you wanted to get a matching MagSafe charging cable for your M2 MacBook Air, Apple has started selling this option in the four colours the new laptop comes in. This 2m USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable retails for $59. This is just the cable, though. If you need the power adapter, you'll have to buy that separately. The cable is made with a woven design to improve durability.

As with past MagSafe cables, these accessories are designed to be strong enough to resist unintended disconnections. But if you or someone else trips on the cord, it should release while keeping your MacBook safe on the desk. It has an LED that turns amber when the battery is charging and green when it is fully charged.

Apple is looking into charging issues the iPad mini 6 is running into after updating to the latest iPadOS 15.5 version. MacRumors got hold of a memo sent to authorized service providers stating it is aware of the situation. Some users report that the iPad mini isn't charging after the update. 

Apple advises service providers and retail staff to inform customers to restart the device as a temporary fix while looking into the problem. The company noted that hardware replacement of the unit or its battery doesn't solve the issue, which confirms it's a software issue. Apple is beta testing iPadOS 15.6, which could potentially fix the problem.

CD Projekt Red just introduced a new single-player title inspired by the Gwent card game in The Witcher series. Gwent: Rogue Mage is a roguelike deck builder with players entering a procedurally-generated map. You will fight your way through monsters and bosses using a deck of card-based abilities.

Gwent: Rouge Mage is set hundreds of years before The Witcher 3 events. You'll play as the mage Alzur as he attempts to make the first-ever Witcher. However, this game isn't considered an official addition to The Witcher lore. You can purchase the game for $13.99 on the Google Play Store, iOS App Store, Steam, and GOG Store.
