Forget about the old 15W limitation on wireless charging. Friday, Belkin took the wraps off a trio of iPhone stands that support the new Qi2 25W standard, offering a 66% increase in speed.
The new models include the UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Dock for use in the office, plus a pair of multidevice wireless chargers for travel.
Belkin UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Dock juices iPhone at 25W
There was a time when 7.5W wireless charging was considered good, then came Qi2 and 15W. And July brought the upgraded Qi2 25W standard, further reducing the amount of time needed to juice up an iPhone without plugging in a power cable. Accessory makers are getting on board.
That includes Belkin, whose UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Dock provides up to 25W to compatible handsets. Plus, the desktop stand can change the viewing angle of the handset’s screen across a 70-degree arc. And it offers ChillBoost active cooling technology — a cooling fan helps increase the charging rate.
Support for Qi2 25W requires an iPhone 16 series model (except the iPhone 16e). Earlier iOS handsets charge on Belkin’s new stand at 15W.
UltraCharge Pro can handle more than an iPhone. There are separate wireless chargers for Apple Watch and AirPods.
The design includes a weighted base for easy removal of the handset. This is covered in soft-touch silicone. The charger’s stem has a chrome finish.
The Belkin UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Dock launched Friday at $129.99.
