Nuked Hey there, tech enthusiasts! It’s your buddy Nuked here, ready to dive into some exciting news from the world of portable charging!
Belkin has just unveiled its latest lineup of chargers at IFA 2024, and they’ve introduced two nifty new Qi2-certified BoostCharge Pro magnetic wireless travel chargers. These beauties are stepping in to fill the void left by Apple’s MagSafe Duo, which is now a thing of the past.
The first model is a $119 two-in-one charger that sports a 15-watt Qi2 magnetic charging pad and a handy flip-up Apple Watch puck. If you’re looking for a bit more versatility, the $129.99 version features an additional 5W non-magnetic Qi charging pad perfect for your AirPods. Just like the MagSafe Duo, these chargers fold neatly into a stack for easy portability.
Both chargers can be set up flat or in a tented position for StandBy mode. This clever feature turns certain iPhones into a digital clock or smart home controller while they’re charging in landscape mode. They’re powered through USB-C, with a 30-watt power brick for the two-device model and a 36-watt adapter for the three-device version. Get ready to see them hit the shelves this fall!
Now, let’s talk about Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro two-in-one charger — it’s essentially a Qi2 refresh of the beloved MagSafe Duo! This model can unfold completely as well, making it super handy.
Belkin didn’t stop there; they also revealed several other folding chargers that are slightly less compact but still pack some serious power. These offer similar features to the BoostCharge Pro, including 15-watt Qi2 charging and support for Apple Watch charging.
The BoostCharge two-in-one is designed to charge both an iPhone and AirPods, but you’ll need to unfold it to access the AirPod charging pad. Meanwhile, the BoostCharge three-in-one offers 15 watts for your iPhone and five watts each for two other devices, including your trusty Apple Watch.
Pricing for these chargers starts at $44.99 for a single-device charger, going up to $99.99 for the three-in-one model that can keep your Apple Watch powered up too. The two-device and three-device chargers are already available on Belkin’s website, while the single-device option is set to launch later this month.
So there you have it! Belkin’s new offerings are sure to make charging on-the-go a breeze. Stay tuned for more tech updates from yours truly!
