Looking for wireless charging suggestions

Someone on this list recommended a Choetech wireless charger a few years ago. I have one and love it for charging my Airpods and iPhone at the same time. The price was right and it works great.

My wife is now looking for a wireless charger, but the charger I have no longer seems to be available.

So I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations.for a wireless charger for my wife.

She has seen some chargers that seem like they will charge 3 devices at a time: her Apple Watch, her Apple Airpods, and her iPhone. That would be neat if that worked! My old Choetech charger can only handle two devices.

Somehow I thought the watches might need something special.

Anyway, if you have such a charger that you like or one to recommend, please pass it along.

Thanks.

Type in wireless chargers apple and three in one or some varant. You can then go by reviews, and price. don't spend twenty bucks, ankor is a good brand, belkin is a good one, have your wife look at pics see what she's going with as brand does count. You don't want a knockoff.

Just wanted to let folks know that my wife and I found a great 3 in 1 wireless charging station on Amazon from PETINO.

Here is the link:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BRHZNBJQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3JFW8O90WG16&th=1

Here is a short description:

- The charger folds flat for easy transport when traveling
- There is a little pop up to hold the phone so that a sighted person can use it as a clock overnight. The magnets hold the phone snug
- There is a little depression for holding Airpods
- There is another little pop up for the watch. You just slip the watch over this pop up and it is stuck there with the magnet

anyway, this was a great price and works great with charging an iPhone (15 pro in this case), Airpods (Pro 2 in this case), and Apple Watch (9 in this case).

One note: Make sure you have a mag-safe case on your phone so that the magnets in the charger can hold your device without slipping. Mag-Safe cases for the phones have materials in them that enable the magnets in Mag-Safe chargers to hold tighter. Without a Mag-Safe case on your phone, it could slip down (as we found out when first trying this device without a Mag-Safe charging case on the phone!).

Hope that helps. We are pleased with this device.

My wife is using the charger with her iPhone 15 Pro. I believe that the part of the charger that lifts up is smaller than the footprint of the phone and connects magnetically to the middle rear third or so of the phone. So, not interfering with the three cameras on back.

I plan on picking up one myself for my iPhone 15 Pro but wanted to see how hers worked out first!

Just to follow up on a previous question:

There is a circular part of the charger that folds up on a little post. My iPhone 15 Pro literally sticks to this mag-safe surface tightly enough so that the iPhone is being held vertically without touching the base. The little circle just magnetically attaches to the middle of the back of the phone below the 3 cameras. Be sure to have a mag-safe charging case, or this won't work.

The little circle that holds the phone is maybe 3 inches in diameter or so.

Hope that extra bit of info describes a bit more how the phone is held.
