The charger supports 7.5W charging on Apple devices and the 10W fast charge mode on the latest Samsung flagship phones. Anker’s spec sheet says it’s three feet long, already a little on the short side, and we measured it at 34 inches. The angle is steep enough to make it suitable for unlocking your iPhone with Face ID while your phone is resting on your desk.Īnker includes a Quick Charge 3.0 compatible power adapter and a matching white microUSB cable, but the cable is way too short. ![]() The new stand looks good, and is available in black and white colors.Ī small blue charge indicator on the front is subtle enough to use on your bedside table. Otherwise, there are other options that might not be quite as nice, but are a lot easier on the wallet.Īnker’s PowerWave products greatly improve quality over its older wireless chargers. If you see it listed for less than $100, it’s a good buy. Logitech basically gets everything right about a dock that combines an iPhone charging stand, an Apple Watch charger, and a charging pad for AirPods (or other devices). The cable is at least thin and flexible, with a nice matte finish, and a built-in cable management tie. The charging cable is a proprietary DC barrel connector, which is more annoying than USB-C, but not uncommon on these multi-device chargers. The charging lights are tiny and dim, so as not to be distracting next to your bed at night. I had no trouble charging my phone with a thick case on it, either on the stand or the pad area, and you don’t have to be too precise with the placement. The wide flat area to the left of the stand can charge any Qi-compatible device, including other phones or AirPods. The steep angle of the phone stand makes it easy to use your phone while it charges, and is well-placed to ensure Face ID works without requiring you to pick up your phone. It also includes its own Apple Watch charger, while many similar docks require you to insert your own. If you want something clean and simple to put on your bedside table or desk to charge all that stuff at once, Logitech’s Powered 3-in-1 dock is a quality solution, though it’s going to cost you.Īvailable in either black or white, the dock is a little on the large side, but with clean lines and a nice matte finish that keep it from being an eyesore. It’s only of use if you have an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods with the wireless charging case, and you really want to charge them all in the same place. Most iPhone users don’t really need a 3-in-1 wireless charging dock. The price is a lot more reasonable this time around. ![]() I had no trouble getting a solid charging connection with a relatively thick case on an iPhone XS Max, too. ![]() The stand supports 7.5W charging on iPhones, and for Android phones up to 10W, so you get the fastest charging available. It’s comfortable and easy, but it doesn’t exactly look good on your desk. A couple of small LED charging indicator lights are gone, and the finish is matte instead of glossy, but that weird retro-future circular pod design is the same as it ever was. Unfortunately, the design is nearly identical. Instead of a proprietary power adapter that ends in a barrel plug, it uses a standard USB power adapter with micro-USB cable-more modern chargers use the less fiddly reversible USB-C.Īside from the micro-USB, that’s a great shift-there’s no real need for devices like this to give us yet another cable and plug we can’t use with any of our other gear. With this new Boost Charge wireless charging stand, Belkin has made a couple of welcome tweaks. Belkin’s Boost Up wireless charging stand always worked well, but we weren’t really fans of its high price and proprietary AC adaptor.
