Do things while you charge
Magnetic charging is a much better way to describe this stuff than “wireless” is. There’s a wire. It’s right there attached to the magnetic charging thing. Because electricity doesn’t fly through the air. (Yet. At least not on purpose or in a manner suitable for charging your phone.)
But either way, magnetic charging products like this one are finally hitting their stride. It isn’t just a flat pad that’s only useful if you’re putting your phone down on it and walking away. You can actually use your phone for phone things while it’s charging, thanks to the handy adjustable top.
That’s perfect for keeping an eye out for notifications and it’s perfect for setting yourself up for a flattering angle for your video conference. And speaking of your video conference, if you’re using your magnetically-chargeable AirPods for that, you can charge your case at the same time—just set it on top.
The whole setup is small enough to stay out of the way when you don’t need it, but is still substantial enough to act as a suitable home base for your phone. Once your phone is on there, you can view it in portrait or landscape mode, making it perfect for calls or watching a show or following along with the cooking tutorial you’re trying to keep up with in the kitchen.
It’s also from Anker, who is very good at this kind of thing—no no-name brands here (this time). It beats the heck out of a charging pad and is WAY better than a traditional power cord. Give it a try!
