MacRumors,

I have an iPhone X since November 2017. I have an Apple Watch Stainless Steel Series 5 since January 2020. On Monday I’ll have an AirPod Pro.

This may be a pipe dream, but the last thee weeks I have been looking for the following:

1.) Dock without separate power cables. One cable that powers all devices. (I do not want three power cables charging three devices)

2.) Dock that does not require the iPhone or Watch to be on a flat surface. (I want both devices to be upright and angled ‘cradle’, essentially viewable horizontally at eye level)

3.) Dock that allows iPhone to charge vertically and horizontally. (I want to be able to use the iPhone horizontally while charging, once again on a ‘cradle’)

4.) Dock that allows Watch to charge vertically. (I prefer the Watch charge vertically)

5.) Dock that allows AirPods to be charged via QI in the event I want to charge another device wirelessly. (I want to be able to charge another device via QI such as a handset, headset, etc.)

If that still doesn’t provide understanding. The bellow dock is almost perfect. Except, the AirPods are being charged via Lighting. I would wish the AirPods be chaeged via QI, which would allow potential other devices to charge via QI such as a handset, headset, etc.

Therefore, is this a pipe dream or is there a product such as this out there? I have been scouring and have yet to find the dock I’m seeking.

The dock I have satisfies all your requirements other than no 1, there are 3 power cables. Personally I prefer this as it uses the original Apple Watch charger and also ensures I can charge watch, phone and APP simultaneously with no reduction in power. However hopefully someone else will come up with one that fits your needs better.

What about the SliceCharge Pro from Hard Cider Labs? I suppose if you use their stand to make it vertical it mostly fits your criteria. I personally would’ve preferred a non-plastic build but at least this seems to fit most of your needs.

Unfortunately, iPhone won’t fit horizontally when AirPod Pros and Apple Watch are charging. I do appreciate you sharing though.
