Elago’s sleek, MagSafe-compatible iPhone charging stands make it easy to keep using your favorite gadget while it rapidly charges, sitting upright on the aluminum stand, easily at hand. Or easily hands-free, as the case may be.
You just quickly install a MagSafe charging puck into the Elago stand. Then it’s perfect for charging your phone while on FaceTime calls or while you’re using it in other ways.

The best charger is one you barely notice you’re using. And the Speedy Mag Wireless Charger for iPhone is a super-convenient magnetic battery pack that sticks to the back of your iPhone to refill your battery while you use it.
It’s a lot like Apple’s own MagSafe Battery Pack, but a lot less expensive. For a limited time, the Speedy Mag is on sale for $48.99 (regularly $119).

Wireless magnetic chargers don’t have much of a reputation for being fun, but a new one features a playful design, at least. Zendure will soon launch preorders for the new SuperMini Go, which features MagSafe-compatible docking and up to 15W of wireless charging power.
A crowdfunding campaign for the pocket-sized power bank starts in June, the company said.

Beyond iPhones, Apple is looking to switch to USB-C on all its other products with a Lightning connector like the AirPods, Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and more.
