The US$99.99 Zens Charging Cable USB C – C Pro 3, available in black or white, is a powerful, compact multi-device charger that can simplify your daily routine if it involves traveling with multiple Apple devices.
This 3-in-1 cable powers your laptop or any USB-C device while wirelessly charging your iPhone (12 and up), AirPods, and Apple Watch at the same time. This helps cut down on the need for lots of cables and bulky chargers. Its highlights include:
: eliminating the need for multiple bulky adapters. Qi2-certified, The 3-in-1 — which works with all USB-C powered devices
— delivers 15W fast wireless charging for your iPhone or AirPods and 5W for your Apple Watch. And it can charge a Mac laptop, as well. (If you don’t own an Apple Watch, the Charging Cable USB C-C Pro 2 may be a better choice.)
The Charging Cable USB C-C Pro 3 has support for up to 140W USB-C Power Delivery, which is why it can be used to power a high-end laptop (such as my 16-inch MacBook Pro) or an iPad, as well as the aforementioned devices.
For folks like me the best scenario is to choose a USB-C Power Delivery charger with at least 140W total output, so you can reliably charge your laptop while providing enough power for your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time.
The cable is Qi2-certified. Qi2 is the latest universal standard for wireless charging, designed to be fast and safe with 15 watts of wireless charging. Qi2 is essentially compatible with Apple’s MagSafe ecosystem. That means your iPhone will snap into place and charge efficiently, without the need for an official Apple charger.
The Zens 3-in-1 is well built and extremely portable. Crafted from premium aluminum, the foldable and compact design makes it easy to toss into a backpack, purse, or suitcase.
The Zens 3-in-1 as well as the 2-in-1 sport a braided USB-C cable that’s not easy to tangle or fray.
If you have to travel a lot with your Apple devices, Zens’ new devices work great and mean you have less things you have to remember to pack before you head out.
