Apple started selling two sleek new chargers from wireless charging specialist Zens, the Dutch company said last week. Zens Quattro Charger Pro 4 and Zens 4-1 Wireless Charger are on sale at apple.com and in Apple Stores worldwide. They pretty much look like Apple products. The Quattro seems to remind folks of Apple’s unreleased AirPower charging mat.

“We’re extremely proud to be the only Dutch brand collaborating with Apple,” says Johan Plasmans, CEO of Zens. “Apple has challenged us from the outset to deliver stylish, innovative charging solutions that make daily life easier. This partnership strengthens our shared mission to combine design, usability, and technology in an elegant way.”

The new white and silver chargers follow Zens‘ compartmentalized Modular charger, which became part of Apple’s product lineup in November 2022. This expanded partnership highlights both companies’ commitment to premium design and functionality, Zens said.

Quattro Charger Pro 4 stands out as the only charger on the market capable of wirelessly charging four iPhones (or AirPods) simultaneously. It’s somewhat reminiscent of Apple’s unreleased AirPower charging mat. The new charger looks like a good solution for households with multiple Apple devices, eliminating the need for multiple charging stations or cables. Priced at $149.99, the Quattro offers 15 watts of fast charging for each device, delivering approximately 35% battery in just 30 minutes. It’s cool that all four charging pads offer a full 15W, and can do so simultaneously.

For users seeking a more versatile charging solution, the 4-1 Wireless Charger ($149.99) provides a single elegant station for charging an iPhone, AirPods, iPad/MacBook and Apple Watch simultaneously. The charger is Qi2-certified and includes Apple Watch Fast Charge support, making it compatible with Apple’s StandBy Mode.

Premium materials

Both chargers feature premium materials. They’re constructed from high-grade zinc alloy that complements Apple’s design aesthetic. The Quattro Charger Pro 4 comes in both white/silver and black colors, while the 4-1 Wireless Charger is available in white/silver.

These new additions to Apple’s accessory lineup reflect the growing importance of wireless charging in the Apple ecosystem. As users accumulate more devices — from iPhones and Apple Watches to AirPods and iPads — having elegant, efficient charging solutions becomes increasingly important.

The partnership between Apple and Zens demonstrates Apple’s continued focus on curating high-quality third-party accessories that enhance the user experience. And it maintains the company’s high standards for design and functionality.

Both chargers are available for $149.99 through Apple.com, Apple retail stores worldwide and Zens’ website.
