About this deal
The company said it has identified the issue and will release a firmware update to the accessory soon. But keeping all these gadgets powered up can be annoying, since they all have individual cables and proprietary charging solutions. It comes with a 2-meter USB-C to USB-C cable, which is great if you want to plug it into your new iPhone 15 to juice it up faster, but I wish it came with a 30-watt charging adapter.
It's a MagSafe-compatible accessory that provides simultaneous charging to an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.This really is an expensive solution to a problem that only exists because people create it for themselves because they just have to use wireless charging. I worry slightly about wear and tear on the ports here—be careful when sliding your devices on or off—but the advantage is that you get wired charging speeds. I do want to point out that since this is a pad, you can still charge non-MagSafe devices wirelessly on it, making it a nice option if you're on an older iPhone. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. Though designed for AirPods, the 5W Qi charging base of the 3-in-1 Travel Charger can be used with an iPhone as well, though charging will obviously be slower.
It also lays flat, so doesn’t play nice with Nightstand mode, though that’s not such a big deal when you can use StandBy on your iPhone. WIRED may earn a portion of sales from products that are purchased through our site as part of our Affiliate Partnerships with retailers.Folks seeking something a little more compact for the nightstand will appreciate this solid aluminum 3-in-1 charging station from Otterbox. The Mophie Wireless charging base is optimized to work with Nothing Phone 1, but it will also wirelessly charge any mophie case with wireless charging. It can fast-charge your iPhone and hold it in portrait or landscape orientation (great for StandBy).
If you fancy this, make sure you get the correct version, because Otterbox also offers a cheaper 3-in-1 with a slot for Apple Watch charging around the back, which we don’t recommend.
