Apple Exclusively Selling New 4-in-1 MagSafe Charging Stand

Will iPhone 16e work with this? 🤔

Yes. The 16E has wireless charging, just not with the magnets for alignment.

Imagine trying to pick up the bottom phone and the top one falls...

Well it would be magnetically attached . . .

It is kinda sad to see that Apple is selling these ugly solutions and there is no good first party charge solutions (except the foldable dual charger).

What a poor design for AOD users....can't even check the time while it's charging.

Just look at one of the top-row phones.

Looks like a mini shelf you would have in your kitchen

I hate to be that guy, but Apple officially also just calls it that and says things like "iPhone does XYZ" over "The iPhone does XYZ"

Is it really any surprise that corporations can't English?

Qi3 should be designed to magnetically attach devices both big and small, including phones, watches and buds with two sets of magnets and coils in one pad, enabling one pad design to rule them all. Attach any device on any surface, backs of car seats, dashboards, hotel bedside tables and fast food and restaurant tables, and tables and walls in public transport. Having just one pad design is a no-brainer, WPC should get on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Qi3/

And this company will be out of business in 3…2...

I can see this selling very well for people who want wireless charging.

I want my MagSafe Battery Pack to come back with a USB-C port

So it doesn't let your iPhone perform its Standby Mode function.

Would have been better if the phones were charged on the top level instead of the bottom. Also charging speeds could have been improved to meet the new MagSafe standard.

This would maybe work implemented into a car centre console, for driver and front passenger.

But as a nightstand/bedside table solution, and without a watch puck, it's a heinously expensive solution looking for a problem.

Yeah what the heck is this thing? Why would it have two AirPods chargers and zero Watch chargers?

It actually doubles as a Jenga game.

Apple has always used this language. They call it 'iPhone' 'Mac' and 'iPad'.

I'm not enough of an English major to understand why or why there should not be the article "the" included.

But I do get the sense they do it to further the cult-like mentality.

Edit: thinking about it, it's iPhone as a concept and product, and "the iPhone" when talking about a specific iPhone, like "the iPhone on that table over there."

Maybe. Someone tell me.

Don't listen to an FM radio and think about all the electrical signals passing through your brain right now.

This whole thread is killing me. It’s on a whole new level.

Don't listen to an FM radio and think about all the electrical signals passing through your brain right now.

actually i do worry about that, but I assume radio signals not as powerful as 240V flying in the air
