This Belkin 3-in-1 charger can fast charge the Apple Watch Series 7

Belkin has launched a wireless charger that can charge the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously. The Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad is built for Apple's latest devices, so it has a MagSafe charging puck that can top up the iPhone 13 at 15W (12W for iPhone 12 and 13 mini). It can also fast-charge the Apple Watch Series 7 models, making it the first third-party accessory to do so. It even charges 33% faster than Apple's new charger, getting up to 80% in 45 minutes. The Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 retails for US$150 (around CA$190 converted).

If you just want a fast-charge your Apple Watch Series 7, Belkin also launched the Portable Fast Charger for the Apple Watch. That retails for US$60 (CA$76).

One long-overdue feature on Instagram is arriving on iOS first. Instagram head Adam Mosseri revealed on Twitter that Instagram will now let you delete a photo or video from a carousel post. You just need to tap on the three dots icon and then the edit button. You then need to swipe over to the photo or video you want to get rid of and tap the delete icon. As mentioned, it's rolling out to iOS first, but it's coming to Android soon.

Users in the US are getting a new "Rage Shake" feature, which is what it sounds like. If a feature on the app isn't working right, just shake the phone to have its bug report interface appear. That will help you inform Instagram about the issue. Mosseri says it'll help the company prioritize the bugs it needs to fix.

Xbox brings Xbox Cloud Gaming to its consoles

If you want to try out a game on Xbox without downloading it, Microsoft gives you that option with the start of the Xbox Cloud Gaming rollout. It's coming to Canada and 25 other regions first to users with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. If it still hasn't made it your way, you might need to wait a bit as the November release is for a "subset of Xbox gamers," with everyone in the supported markets getting it "over the coming weeks."

Xbox Cloud Gaming will make it easy to demo games you aren't ready to purchase yet. Or you can jump into a multiplayer game with a friend on a title you haven't installed yet. Those with an Xbox One can try out next-generation exclusive titles like Recompile, The Riftbreaker, and The Medium. If you're a fan of Microsoft Flight Simulator, that's coming to the cloud game library in early 2022.

If you somehow missed the announcement, Apple is somewhat changing its stance on your right to repair your devices on your own. The company plans to begin selling tools and parts and instructions on fixing Apple products at home. It'll start with the iPhone 12 and 13 and then the M1 Macs. You'll be able to replace the smartphone's display, camera, and battery, with other options coming later.

The program is called "Self Service Repair," and it's launching "early next year," starting in the US and then other countries afterwards. Apple says this initiative is meant for "individual technicians with the knowledge and experience to repair electronic devices." And it still encourages most customers to see a professional for repairs. According to TechCrunch, repairs won't void your warranty, which is an important note. But if you damage the device while repairing it, that might void it.
