Belkin today announced the launch of a new accessory in its BoostCharge Pro lineup, debuting a 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad with MagSafe integration.

Priced at $80, the MagSafe Charging Pad has a MagSafe puck for charging a compatible iPhone at up to 15W. iPhones have supported MagSafe since the iPhone 12, and all models will work with 15W charging with the exception of the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini, which max out at 12W.

There is also a charging space for the AirPods that delivers up to 5W of power. There is no Apple Watch charging available with the new BoostCharge Pro, and because this is a flat charger, it is not compatible with the StandBy mode coming to the iPhone in iOS 17.

The AirPods charging station can also be used to charge other Qi-based devices such as an additional iPhone, albeit at a slower speed than MagSafe. The 2-in-1 Charging Pad is available in either black or white, and it has a slim design that is ideal for travel.

The BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad can be purchased from the Belkin website for $80.

I was totally gone bit the bullet and buy the 3in1 for my desk even though I charge my Apple Watch at my bedside. as high priced as it was, there's really no other nice alternative. So this would have been perfect. However, standby mode. it's just too damn useful. Sorry Belkin. Too late

Anyone know of a charging stand that has magnets for AirPods cases? Even with indents I feel like a lot of these are a crapshoot to line up in the dark when going to sleep, so I've been looking for one that has a MagSafe-compatible spot for AirPods cases along with the MagSafe for online option. I'm guessing we can expect another crop of weird, mutant off brand stuff on Amazon once they start targeting standby mode, but magsafe-compatible AirPods charging so far hasn't shown up. Or maybe some do have it but don't do a great job of detailing that in product descriptions
 
wish it was magsafe & apple watch charger instead of airpods. since airpods pro 2 can be charged on an AW charger & airpods 3 can be charged on magsafe.

this would have replaced the magsafe duo very well but with no apple watch charger it's a no for me.

If you have a Costco membership, you can get the Belkin 3-In-1 for $94.99 and plus tax, should cost you less than $100.

I love my MagSafe Duo and I don't care what anyone says. I charge my devices overnight, so fast charging really doesn't matter to me.

Belkin is one of the few Apple certified ones for things like fast charge Apple watch and magsafe and uses the same components. The Apple stuff probably even comes from Belkin factories.

I’ve heard this continuously over the last 30 years etc. I’ve said this before I’ve had nothing but bad luck with this company and I will not buy anything from them ever again. they are so many people who are fans of this company get this company gives free items to them that there’s just no trust anymore. just because they’re made in the sea manufacture factory doesn’t mean the quality it’s just as good that’s just wrong.

Belkin had a bad reputation for a long time. Their name has been passed around more than a Dutchie. I believe Cisco bought them and merged them with Linksys and sold them both off after ruining both companies’ reputations.

Honestly not sure about their quality at this point but I don’t think they make anything besides chargers and dongles anymore.
