I've been really happy with the Belkin Boost Charge 3-in-1. You get max charging speeds for the phone, pods, and watch. It's not cheap though. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/...63e44138f0b3b4a9379c3b0c2bc5c5d259193c866f18b
Thanks! I had been looking at this one, because it’s the one that the Apple store sells which gives me confidence that it’s compatible with my devices. Now I have another data point from your experience with it, so it’s my first choice.
Belkin makes a version that looks like a little tree where the phone and the watch sit in the air, but the one you linked to looks sleeker, and the heavy phone does not need to rely on its magnet to hold on. But it lets you see the screens better, so I would be able to snooze my alarm more easily:

I have the one you linked and LOVE it. Kept on my bedside since iPhone 12. It’s pretty and charges all 3 of my items overnight. Love the one-handed on and off charging you get with MagSafe alignment.

I don't think you can go wrong with either. The only difference that I can see between the two is that the "vertical" stand lacks the fast charging for the watch.

I may use a cable for the phone and the included magnetic puck for the watch until Black Friday in case there are sales, and in the meantime I can learn whether the Belkin chargers are officially compatible with the 14 PM and/or whether a new generation is released.
They released the newest gen. It is almost the same but mentions fast charging for the Watch. No issues working with any MagSafe iPhones.
Does anyone know if this wireless charger will work with a iPhone 14 Pro Max ?

The Compatibility section at the bottom of the page lists the 13 Pro Max, and the 14 Pro Max has the same charging coil size and position so I'm sure it would also work just fine.Does anyone know if this wireless charger will work with a iPhone 14 Pro Max ?

I'm curious if this one or the Boost Up Charge one will be strong enough to charge a Watch Ultra, this is where I'm getting stuck on choosing a bedside wireless charging station
Ultra charges with standard Apple Watch chargers so not sure what you mean. It can use any from Series 0 to the latest. Both versions of the Boost Up will work on Ultra, whether using the standard charge model or the newer fast charge variant.
The only reason I ask is because of the issue with the Mag Safe Duo not being able to charge the Ultra but if it's using a bit more power in the dock compared to the Mag Safe Duo
Ultra isn’t a good fit for Duo because Duo is a bad shape. It also doesn’t fit iPhone 13 Pro or 14 Pro properly. That said, it can still charge those devices but they just fit on it poorly. It isn’t a power issue.
The Ultra should charge fine on the 3 in 1 charger variant (the one that is a dock that suspends the device on metal arms). Do you mean that one or flat 3 in 1 pad? The flat pad should work but may not fit well, we have to wait and see.
This was the Belkin one through apple I was talking about, the dock version of the original one from this post. But that was the biggest thing I worried about that it wasn't going to fit, even though my watch won't be here til October

Is the Belkin 3 in 1 flat charger heavy enough so it doesn’t lift up when you pick up the phone?
Ok looks like Apple Updated the page for the flat one, looks like I may be going with that one

Yep. Mine is working fine, although I have a Pro. No reason the Max wouldn’t work.
It’s listed as compatible on the Belkin site. I can’t see any reason it wouldn’t work. It’s not like the MagSafe charging standard has changed.Nope does not work with mine
You’re right. It is mentioned as compatible on the Belkin site but not listed on the Apple Store. Not sure whose right. Given the bulkiness of the camera bump, we can wonder whether it’ll work properly or not.
I have this Belkin 3 in 1 and was using it with my 13 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 5 and AirPods Pro. I’m now using it with my 14 Pro Max. Apple Watch Series 5 and AirPods Pro. It works just fine with the 14 Pro Max. I am getting the Apple Watch Ultra and it remains to be seen if it will charge just as well as my Series 5 does.
