I had a dock that was basically just cord management for my devices, but now that I have the AirPods Pro it’s time to upgrade since it’s molded for the original AirPods. I’ve got an iPhone XR, Apple Watch series 4, and AirPods Pro. What’s the best charging solution for my night stand for all 3? I’ve always used the cables, but not opposed to wireless charging. Bonus if it only uses one cord. There’s a billion of them on Amazon, just trying to see what people are using. I’d like to keep it under $30 or so.
 
Probably go with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-5-Port...1&keywords=anker+5+port&qid=1601524520&sr=8-2 - a bit overkill but one can never have enough USB ports, and it's within budget.

I recently got this for near my bed: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-3-outlet-3-usb-surge-protector-white/6361093.p?skuId=6361093

We also decided to put these at our desks: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PRXFDZQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Helped to get rid of a lot of charging bricks in outlets.

I have this one - a 5 port Anker charger... actually I have two of these ... one in my home office and one in my travel bag.

I've got a couple of different Anker 5 port chargers: 1 with a USB-C PD port for fast charging phones and iPads and one with just USB-A ports. Both are excellent.

I just got the Logitech 3-in-1 charger in black. It was expensive at $129 but it seems to be very good quality. Base has good heft, it has a watch charger, a stand charger for phone and a horizontal charging pad that can charge another phone or a set of AirPods. There are also many similar, cheaper options on Amazon, but I am always a little suspect of cheap chargers. I have had some that seem to make the phone very hot when charging. The Logitech claims to have overcharging and overheating protection.

There’s an update Anker version with 2 USB C ports and 3(?) regular USB ports on prime day sale - but still expensive.
 
I recently got this one although I don’t have a need to charge Air Pods wirelessly. It works well with my 11 Pro Max and my Apple Watch Series 5.

I wound up getting this one for $20 and I love it so far!
