8 Wireless Multi-Device Chargers Worth Trying Out


There are plenty of wireless chargers on the market for Apple devices, and multi-device charging solutions have become more common than ever with the decision by Apple to cancel AirPower.

You can charge an iPhone or two, the AirPods or AirPods Pro, and the Apple Watch with several of the multi-device chargers in our guide below, and they are great choices if you want to have a one-stop spot to charge more than one device at a time without a mess of cables.

Logitech POWERED 3-in-1 Dock ($130)

The Logitech POWERED 3-in-1 Dock, a favourite of many of us here at MacRumors, is a simple, no-frills charger that works well and has an perfect layout for charging the iPhone, AirPods, AirPods Pro and Apple Watch.


For an iPhone, there is an upright charging platform, which allows you a clear cut area to position your iPhone, so there are no positioning errors, and an arm houses the charging puck for the Apple Watch. For either another iPhone, or the AirPods, a second platform offers charging space.

Nomad Base Station Apple Watch Edition ($149)

Nomad's Apple Watch Base Station is a well-made multi-device adapter that can use the flat leather-covered charging pad and the upright charging puck of the Apple Watch to charge an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods at once.

It is lightweight, works well on a desk or table top, and has a USB-A and a USB-C port on the back for extra devices to be charged.

Spansive Source ($100)

The Spansive Source is a distinctive multi-device charger that has a two-sided tent design that can both charge two smartphones at once, making it suitable for families with multiple Qi-based charging smartphones.


It does not need exact positioning on the dock because it has many wireless charging coils, but the upright chargers are limited to smartphones and will not operate with AirPods. There are two additional USB-A ports to charge AirPods or the Apple Watch. At a maximum of 5W, the Spansive Source charges iPhones, so it is slower than 7.5W chargers.

Pitaka Air Omni ($140)

For all of your computers, the Pitaka Air Omni is built to be a charging station. It can wirelessly charge the AirPods, Apple Watch, and iPhone, plus it has spots to charge iPads and other devices through the USB-A and USB-C ports added (there is one of each).


Pitaka calls this a 6-in-1 charger, and for charging via the tablet docking area, there is a small adapter for switching between Lightning and USB-C. It's very large and heavy, which is something to be mindful of, with the extra room to charge an iPad and a little pull out drawer that's included. It can be bought for ~$140 via Kickstarter and should be shipped starting in June 2020.

Eggtronic Power Bar ($150)

A multi-device adapter that is also a power bank is the Eggtronic Power Bar, so you can take it on the go with you. It has a capacity of 10,000mAh, which is adequate to charge once or twice for an iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch.


At the same time, it can charge all three devices, and there is also a 30W USB-C power supply port to charge an iPad or MacBook, but 10,000mAh is not really enough to charge those higher-capacity devices.

Belkin Boost Up Wireless Charging Dock ($120)

An 'iPhone' and an Apple Watch will wirelessly charge Belkin's Boost Up Wireless Charging Dock. For an iPhone, there is an upright charging platform, which is perfect because you can only set down the iPhone and start charging instantly, plus a charging puck for the Apple Watch.


This choice is somewhat costly and does not charge the AirPods, but there is a USB-A port on the rear to charge an external computer with a USB-A to Lightning cable, such as an iPad or AirPods.

Zens Liberty Wireless Charger ($164)

Zens allows a lot of wireless charging choices, and one of the newest is the Liberty. At one time, it can charge two Qi-based devices, such as an iPhone and AirPods, plus there is a charging puck for an Apple Watch to charge.


If desired, the Apple Watch charging puck can be removed , leaving enough room for two smartphones to charge, and can be plugged into any USB-A port. There are 16 coils in the Liberty, so the flat surface can be mounted anywhere on an iPhone (and/or AirPods).

Native Union Drop XL ($150)

The Apple Watch Version of Native Union's Drop XL will charge an iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch all at once. It is lightweight and has an appealing fabric style that offers grip as well.


It is possible to remove the Apple Watch charging puck, leaving enough room to charge two iPhones side by side, and it has a sturdy braided cord.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
