Belkin Boost Charge Pro Releasing Next Week... maybe part of the Christmas surprise on Tuesday...

Just found this answer from Belkin :)......


The Belkin BOOST CHARGE PRO 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe includes a power supply with an output of 40W. This allows each charger to be able to supply its full power potential even if all 3 are used at the same time.

Very appealing.
Currently too many wireless charger with me is one of the hesitation. It really is a perfect setup for combo of watch, phone and AirPod.

Wish there be MagSafe battery pack but guessing that it won’t come until next year H2.
 
The Belkin charger looks like a sure winner to me based on what I have seen so far.
 
Thanks - been waiting for this charger. Only negative is that it does not charge the watch in nightstand mode. That would have made it perfect!

My only issue with it is the size where I have it I need it to be a certain height to not clip my pc monitors so I picked up the MagSafe Duo, considering picking this up as well to see if the size will fit as I can’t find any information on that anywhere

Yeah this looks good but is massive and certainly will take up a lot of space and not like you will ever be able to put this in your bag on the go for example but yeah that’s not the main sell for this

Also It limits your choices in cases too as they need to be MagSafe compatible lol and the AirPods Pro take forever to charge wirelessly

Guess no release this week. Sure is a long rollout.

No nothing as of yet, someone else asked on their official website what is exactly meant by winter 2020, is it all of winter or literally til the end of 2020 and they just replied saying winter 2020 means December.

So I think it is imminent. It’s starting to irritate me how long it is taking as I am looking to getting one in time for Christmas...
 
Part of me thinks the delay is intentional and likely a clause for the product to be sold on apples website... I think the delay of the MagSafe duo has forced Belkin to delay their release... I just hope it comes this week or next at the latest cause otherwise I will probably just opt for a cheaper Qi charging stand.
 
If it takes until March, won’t be waiting. I am sure by then, there will be many more choices. Would be big misstep for Belkin.
 
Have messaged Belkin directly if the 3 in 1 will be released before Christmas and this was their response...

So at this point it’s safe to say it won’t be out in time for Christmas 🎄

If it was imminent I am pretty sure they would say... I have a feeling Apple are preventing them releasing it so as not to hamper sales of the MagSafe duo... let’s be honest the Belkin is a far better buy than the duo at the moment.

I agree, by then you will get far better options on the market for half the price or less... Belkin missing a Christmas release for this will end up with it becoming a complete flop for them.

I just think this should have 100% been available at the same time as the duo as they are both chargers for different scenarios, the duo being a travel charger, the Belkin being a night stand charger...

Any news on this please? Recently read a review on 9to5 and demo units are starting out in the wild I guess.

No news at all... just by winter 2020 could mean anytime until March 2021... they have definately missed the boat with this one. By then there will be many MagSafe charging stands available for far cheaper that have the ability to put the Watch in night stand mode.

I ended up giving up on the Belkin one and will wait for cheaper competitor options.

Fair enough. The Chinese brand like Baseus should come out with this idea. They are quite well known brand like Xiaomi Home.

Oddly enough, they pulled that story, but it remains in Google's cache.

Review units have been distributed, so it's not far off. Gurman tweeted about his, and it's included in an accessory roundup at Ars.

The series of $100+ charging stations Belkin has produced, mostly Apple Store exclusives, has never been aimed at the crowd that would just choose some cheap $30 station off Amazon. I doubt they are concerned, and will release it when it's ready.

What interest me is that why the story has been pulled out.
Not a paranoid type of guy but is Apple pulling string here as Belkin is their subsidiary or just the quality assurance procedure before launch?

Duo safe and Boost charge is different in terms of usability. One is portable and Belkin is suitable for home based.

The fact that the 9to5 article has been pulled is worrying. I hope it's not a sign of further delays.

Gurman's tweet is still up. I came across some random site (can't find it now) that claimed it would be in stock on January 9th.

I desperately need this thing for my home office. I know of no other 3-1 that incorporates MagSafe. Will purchase immediately.

Please get in the queue
 
Pretty sure there’s something up with these 3 in 1 chargers. They are not reliable and this not releasing on time is also adding fuel to my assumption & rather experience with the mophie 3-1

Yeah I think there is likely over heating issues going on, hence why Apple opted for a duo charger rather than a 3 in 1
 
Was thinking about getting this but it seems like it’s vapourware.
I need a solution for my nightstand and despite my reservations at its high price, there really seems to be no alternative other than the MagSafe Duo
