Belkin Launches Upgraded 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand That Fast Charges Apple Watch Series 7

[MacRumors]

Belkin today announced the launch of an upgraded Boostcharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand that's designed for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. Compared to the prior-generation model, the new 3-in-1 charger features fast charging support for the Apple Watch Series 7.

The upgraded Apple Watch charging puck is able to charge an Apple Watch Series 7 from 0 to 80 percent in approximately 45 minutes, which is the same charging speed as the charging puck that ships with the Series 7 models. Faster charging is a Series 7 exclusive feature, with older Apple Watch models charging at standard speeds.

The included MagSafe charging puck is able to charge Apple's MagSafe iPhones at up to 15W as it is using the same MagSafe charging technology as Apple's own MagSafe chargers. Along with Apple Watch and iPhone chargers, the Belkin 3-in-1 charger also has a 5W charing space for the AirPods Pro and AirPods with Wireless Charging Case.

Belkin is including a 40W power adapter with the Boostcharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand, and it can be pre-ordered from the Belkin website as of today for $150. Apple retail stores will begin carrying the charger starting in June.

I have the original model and I love it. Seems like everyone has one feels the same.

About a year late, but it doesn’t really have any competition.

Looks cool. Imagine needing to buy such charger for every gen, that's not so cool.

 

[The Game 161]

I have the original one and love it. certainly would't upgrade for the new one for the charging speed when it goes on charge at night.

 

[mongobongo]

Now if Apple could also update the MagSafe Duo 🙏

 

[BeatCrazy]

Yep, have had the original version since launch and I use it daily. I'm not tempted to upgrade, but I would buy this never version at $150 if I didn't already have one.

I do, except it has some AirPods charging issues. Still I was unable to find anything better.

Watch gets charged overnight every night. No need for fast charge.

Is this the best 3 in 1 charger?
I'm still looking for the best 3 in one charger with magsafe (if possible) and that is foldable. Does such thing exist?
I'm from Canada

 

[blazerunner]

Why are these things so expensive? $150 for a charger? FOH.

 

[Apples Apples Everywhere]

Thanks! Ordered.

Edit: no fast charging though so maybe not quite apples to apples...

Since I'm still using my iPhone XR, this does me no good. I seem out of luck to get something that will Fast Charge my Series 7 Watch and also still charge the XR. I'm a bit surprised Apple hasn't updated the MagSafe Duo yet.

 

[Obioban]

I have the original and it's pretty great.

If they updated the airpods charger to have a magsafe ring, I'd upgrade-- my only issue is that if I'm not careful with the airpods location when I drop them on the Qi charger, they fail to charge all night. A magsafe ring would address that (I don't even care if it's an actual magsafe charger)

This Belkin one uses a lot of metal, and very solid plastics. Literally looks and feels like it was made by Apple. It includes the charging brick, which I imagine is more reliable than the plethora of re-badged bricks on Amazon. It has Apple-approved MagSafe for both the iPhone and watch charger. Those are like $40/$30 each directly from Apple.

Most importantly, it's very reliable. I don't have unplug to reset it, every time I use any of the 3 chargers, my devices begin to charge every single time.

 

[Mactagonist]

I have the original, no real complaints beyond how expensive it was to buy one for each side of the bed in each property.

And the watch can kinda, rotate around while charging so it isn't straight. Just an aesthetic complaint though.

 

[Archmage]

I want one almost exactly like this, but that supports Nightstand Mode 😞

 

[SDRacerR1]

Ordered, been looking for this. Also, "first time" customers save 10%, so was 135 (not tax where I live).

Belkin makes an other 3-in-1 charger that supports fast charging on AW7, which is a mat. It should be fine to charge your XR on the MagSafe puck, because it is flat

Yeah, I'm very happy with mine as well.

 

[Jeaz]

On the watch? It can show that in both orientations these days.

 

[Wxchaser]

I like this a lot. twelvesouth design is elegant though.

 

[Hogswarts]

Remember faster charging means reduced battery life (fewer charge/discharge cycles).

 

[44267547]

That’s pretty slick looking. And Belkin has a good name for itself, but I do suspect that this product is probably just for the tech nerds who really want an all-in-one for $150.00.

Specifically what I like most about this, is the floating design with the iPhone and Apple Watch -versus- just the ‘lay flat’ design.
