For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Ampere to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a HyperCube Wireless Charging Station, which is a nifty cube-shaped wireless charger that has more than 13 smart features packed into it.

The HyperCube, priced at $160, is designed to be an all-in-one bedside charging solution and sleep aid.

It has three Qi-based wireless charging surfaces that can be used to charge smartphones, AirPods, and AirPods Pro, plus there's an LED panel at the back that can be used as a reading light or mood light, with customizable color and brightness.

The HyperCube also supports sound with its built-in speaker, and it can play one of several different sleep noises as you fall asleep, including forest sounds, rain sounds, and ocean sounds.

As the name suggests the standard usage shape is a cube, but with the included hinged design, it can fold out flat, offering a flat charging surface, or it can be folded into a two inch stack to make it more portable for travel.

The three wireless charging surfaces are all 10W so the HyperCube can charge iPhones at their maximum charging speed, and there's an extra 18W USB-C port for plugging in an Apple Watch charging puck, an iPad, or another iPhone.

There's a built-in clock, and an option to set a light and sound based alarm for the mornings. The HyperCube supports gradually increasing sound, light, or both for a peaceful wakeup routine.

Ampere sells a few optional add-ons for the HyperCube, including a 20,800mAh power bank ($70) and a Made for iPhone Apple Watch charger ($50).

Pet peeve:

Devices that work at the bedside (clocks, clock radios, chargers, etc.) should have RED LEDs. These are less harsh and glaring, and don't otherwise disturb your night vision. White is very bad, but blue is the worst. I just never understood this design choice- in hotels I have unplugged the damn things because it disturbs sleeping. If this device at least gives you the choice, that's acceptable.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Looking at the manual, it looks like you can change the color of the light panel but not the display.

Hi! We truly understand your concern and we can 100% assure you that you can turn off the clock's light when you're sleeping and for the LED lamp, you can also change it to your preferred color as well.
 
Wait! What? Are LED bedside clocks still a thing or have we fallen into a time vortex?

I mean I used to own one of these...

It’s still pretty ugly. I don’t think I’d want that on my desk or nightstand.

Yes, it is very anachronistic* to wake up in the middle of the night and want to know what time it is...
