Current user of the Belkin 3-in-1 stand. Love the simplistic design here which would be ideal for traveling, however was hoping their next iteration of the 3’n’1 would utilize USB-C instead of same power brick from the previous models.
It kind of negates the simplicity of it’s design when you are required to carry around power adaptors for various countries alongside it when travelling.
Pretty typical price for a good 3-in-1 wireless charger. I wish the iPhone charger was upright and the airpod slot had MagSafe though.
I think that's kinda the main issue. They're all too expensive for what they do and honestly to me not that much more convenient and probably worse for the batteries long term health.
Hopefully the costs for these things get better in the future. I don't think I could justify spending more than $100 at most in my currency which is valued less then American $.
