If space on your desk is at a premium, this handsome charger from Otterbox gives you the most compact footprint we've come across for a 2-in-1 charger. With its silver and white finish, it'll match well with your other Apple gear, while the magnetic charging surfaces will keep your Apple Watch and iPhone secure as they power up. I particularly appreciated the 90 degrees of motion that the iPhone charger has, which lets you hold the phone at a specific angle (good for watching stuff while powering up), or charge non-magnetic accessories like a pair of AirPods by tilting it into its flat position.

The most important thing to look for when shopping for the best wireless charger for your needs is whether it's compatible with your phone. If a wireless charger is Qi certified, it should support your iPhone, Samsung phone or other Android phone. But note that the wattage support will vary from charger to charger. Most chargers support 10W charging for Android phones and 7.5W charging for iPhones, although if they support Apple's MagSafe standard, then you can charge an iPhone 12, 13 or 14 at up to 15W instead. In terms of generic chargers, the fastest speed you'll get is the Qi standard of 7.5W. This isn't particularly speedy, but it'll work with any wirelessly chargeable smartphone, or other devices like wireless earbuds at slower speeds. Is 10W or 15W better for wireless charging?This is the only charging stand in our guide that works with iPhones, iPads and Android devices because it doesn’t have a cable built into it. Instead, you use the charging cable you already have, and snake it through holes built into the stand. Its silicone and aluminum body offers a high build quality, and it pairs nicely with the iPhone or iPad on top of it. This charging stand is shaped like a 7.1-inch long and 4.1-inch wide square, and its minimalist design will fit with any desk (it’s available in both Blue and Stone, if you’ve got a style preference.)

We looked around and found the best wired charging stands that will work with all of your devices, regardless of whether they’re big or small, or run iOS or Android. Each one will work best in a different situation, but all of them are held to a high standard. What You Need to Know Before Buying a Wired Charging Stand This wired charging stand was designed to only work with Apple devices, so it comes with a braided lightning cable you have to snake through a hole in the base. This does mean you have to use your own charging adapter, but the one that came with your device will work perfectly. Still, different iterations were sketched and considered. As we took more inspiration from the timeless style of the Leica Q3 itself, initial sketches of a leather-wrapped charging pad transformed into something else. We landed on a darkened aluminum frame to match the Q3’s metal housing, which was then contrasted with a cross-grained fabric tread that alludes to the camera’s textured detail. The frame, as well as the cable belt, are finished with Leica’s branding as a stamp of their renowned quality.To have captured several milestones and turning poi nt s in time is testament to Leica’s high-end quality and innovative spirit . B ut Leica doesn’t just capture history – they have quite the legacy of their own. If you use an Android phone, and want a wired charging stand designed specifically for your device, this is the charging stand you should get. This will keep them discretely out of sight, and allows you to switch the cable out if you decide to go from iPhone to Android or vice-versa. You’ll also have to supply the power adapter, but you can use the one your phone is plugged into normally. This is going to depend on what device you're using. If it's an iPhone 12 or newer for example, then it'll be any device that uses MagSafe and provides 15W of charging. Other phone makers have their own standards, and often the only compatible chargers are the ones they sell themselves. As we more strongly commit to our new brand promise to ‘Design for Life,’ we’re excited that this collaboration gives us the chance to explore where we can extend our value beyond the realm of everyday devices, helping us navigate what ‘life’ can entail,” says Igor Duc, Co-founder and CEO of Native Union. “With mutual values in quality and durability and a shared philosophy of good design, this collaboration was a seamless fit.”
