Review: Nomad's New High-End $150 MagSafe 'Base One Max' Charger Works With iPhone and Apple Watch

Seriously with these prices.

I bought this from amazon:

Wireless Charger 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Station Foldable Stand for iPhone 14/13/12/11 (Pro, Pro Max)/XS/XR/X/8 (Plus), Apple Watch Series 8/7/6/SE/5/4/3/2 & AirPods 3/2/Pro with Adapter (Black)

It's nice, its single cable USB-C and it works perfectly for all 3 things. And its not magsafe so it doesnt burn your $65 Apple Leather case.

I love the products of this company. Recently found them and bought a lot right before Christmas.

But they’ve raised prices in the past few months like crazy.

And now this $150 charger doesn’t come with the charging brick, you have to buy it separately.

Done with this company that penny pinches.

Now, I like this product, and this would be geared for me. But to the average consumer with a $150 price tag? They’re not going buy into this when there’s cheaper options on Amazon, even though, it may not be as well as constructed as Nomads.

Then you get the benefit of Apple Watch Series 7 fast charging. Especially considering they cost more or less the same. Unless you really want your phone and Apple Watch to be elevated.

Its a shame their current stand multi charger doesn’t have fast charging for Apple Watch 7. Not personally a fan of the flat pad phone chargers. YMMV.

Give it time. Nomad products start at a high price but they always end up at least 50% off when vendors can’t sell them.

More expensive than the MagSafe Duo Charger and isn't portable.

Agree - not sure why this would sell?

Looks ok, but very costly. Should have been priced a bit less at least.

Do people actually like that janky thing?

Do people actually like that janky thing?

I bought 4 of them, wife and 2 kids all with phones and watches, makes vacation a lot easier having only 4 cables and 4 charges vs 8 cables, they also all magnetically stick together in a stack.

Nomad has been getting a little cocky with their pricing recently. Yes, they sell high quality products but this particular product looks like the glued a MagSafe charger and an Apple Watch charge onto a plank and called it a day.
