nobody knows need solving

That's the epitome of the whole tech industry 😂

“Minimalist”

Came here to say this, but with much more snark. Thank you for taking the high road and keeping it civil, while still making it known that we won’t stand for this egregious misuse of the English language.

This is what I would call minimalist 3-1 charging, and almost zero plastic on this thing. Ridiculously premium build quality. Best 3-1 charger on market IMO (power adapter included lol).

Anker Cube

I have one of these. I like it a lot, except for the sharp corners. It's not quite so suitable for travel.

MagSafe Duo (which admittedly I have) started this luxury charger nonsense

This is the one for travel.

lol I’m fed up on so called wireless charging. it has low efficiency, heats up the phone, charges slower than wired, and the phone cannot be used while charging since it’s fixed to one place. Good old GaN charger plus a few cables turns out to be the best solution. Who would have known this.

plus this thing is ugly.

It’s also environmentally unsound and decreases battery longevity. is it that much easier than using a cord?

i have a 2-1 that I only use for the watch. Still use a cord for the phone.

How is that a "minimalist design"? Whatever you may think of it, it adheres to basically none of the principles of minimalism.

Not in the surface chargers, but it’s pretty cool looking. 🤷‍♂️

Guys, I don't want to spend $100 on a charger either but I've bought 5 sub-$50 3 in 1 chargers and they've all sucked in various ways that lead to me repeatedly waking up to uncharged devices. My wife got the $100+ Belkin 3 in 1 and with her iPhone 14 and it has worked perfectly since. I don't like it any more than you guys do, but that just seems to be the cost of getting something that isn't garbage. 🤷‍♀️

I kind of like it. I've not purchased a 3-in-1 charger before, but this one is making me think it might be worth it. I do wish it was more like $80, but I like how it stacks everything.

Looks like the cover to a wall mounted price scanner I once saw during a trip to Dubai.
