Mophie’s US$129.95 snap+ 3-in-1 wireless charge stand is, arguably, the best such device for juicing up Apple products.
As you might guess from the name, you can use the accessory to charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods/AirPods Pro.
The snap+ 3-in-1 wireless charge stand is is compatible with MagSafe and Qi2 devices. MagSafe technology is magnetic technology from Apple, built natively into iPhone 12 series models and newer generations of the iPhone. Essentially, MagSafe-compatible accessories and MagSafe-enabled technology allows users to charge wirelessly, attach wallet cases, and more to their iPhone.
Since the mophie stand is Qi2-certified, it can deliver up to 15W of power to your iPhone. The Apple Watch charger delivers up to 7.5W of fast-charging power to the smartwatch, so can charge an Apple Watch from 0-80% in about 45 minutes. And, as mentioned, there’s even a designated charging spot on the stand for AirPods or AirPods Pro that deliver up to 5W of juice.
To use the snap+ 3-in-1 wireless charge stand, as with similar products, you just “snap” your devices onto the stand. They attach and align magnetically.
The mophie stand is also well designed. You can tilt the iPhone charging surface so you use the smartphone for, say, FaceTime calls even when the smartphone is charging. And you can charge your phone in portrait or landscape mode, although Standby Mode is only available in landscape mode. (With iOS 17, you can use StandBy mode to turn your iPhone into a bedside clock, a photo frame, a display for viewing widgets or Live Activities in full screen, and more.
The weighted base of the wireless charger provides stability when adding and removing devices. And it’s a trivial thing, I guess, but I also like the classy-looking braided cord that connects to the stand’s power brick.
Finally, for the environmentally conscious (and we all should be), the snap+ 3-in-1 wireless charge stand external plastics are made with up to 50% post-consumer recycled plastics, according to the folks at mophie.
The snap+ 3-in-1 wireless charge stand offers easy, secure way to charge mobile devices. It’s not inexpensive, but if you need a versatile, well-designed accessory for the aforementioned Apple devices, the mophie product is worth considering.
