I was aware of wireless charging but hadn't thought too much about using it. After all, how difficult was it to plug a wire into a phone/watch/airpods? Then I got a wireless charging gift. While I was willing to try wireless, I didn't like the form factor as it would leave the phone horizontal (flat on the charging pad). I had an iphone stand that let the phone stand up so I could easily touch it on my desk and use it, rather than having to pick it up.
So I went searching for a wireless charging stand and found this product. What I liked about it:
- It held the phone in an upright position, so I could continue my one finger use of it while sitting at my desk.
- It neatly held all three devices: iphone, apple watch, airpods.
- It has *one* wire charging the entire charging stand rather than each device requiring a separate charging wire
It is trivial to set up and is ready in seconds.
What I didn't realize was how much more convenient wireless charging is compared to using a cable. Rather than two-handed connecting a cable to the device receptacle, you just place it on the charging stand -- with one hand -- and charging starts. Now I get that this improvement is pretty trivial in the grand scheme of things, but the convenience is a small but definite benefit.
This is really one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. I'm really glad I found it.
