There are plenty of good 3-in-1 iPhone charging stands, but few are instantly recognizable as the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand. Instead of messing with the appearance, the company simply added Qi2 and a few tweaks to the new 2024 model.
This next generation of Belkin's popular 3-in-1 stand features Qi2 compatibility, adjustable tilt for the magnetic iPhone pad, and a smaller base.
ProsThe latest Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 charger is available in black and white. It retails for $149.99, the same price as the old MagSafe model which is now on sale on Belkin’s website.
Both the new and old models have three charging spots and can each power iPhones 12 and later at 15W. Both can fast-charge Apple Watches, Series 7 and newer, as well.
Qi2 is the second version of the Qi wireless charging standard. It bumps up the 7.5W speed to 15W and adds a magnetic ring for a centered charging alignment each time. If this sounds similar to Apple’s MagSafe technology, it’s because the Qi2 specs are borrowed or inspired by MagSafe—with Apple’s support.
That means that any device adopting Qi2 certification should work with all compatible chargers, including this new BoostCharge Pro.
To state the obvious, the BoostCharge Pro is still primarily geared toward iPhone owners, despite being more universally compatible. The main factor here is the Apple Watch charger. Apple’s watch only works with iPhones, so using an Android device here means that the spot is wasted.
The ideal situation would be for owners of multiple phones, both Android and iPhone. The Qi standard is backward compatible, so you can take advantage of the new tilting charger to lay any wireless capable phone on the charger when an iPhone is not attached.
Even though the bottom spot is advertised for charging AirPods, phones and other devices can still charge on the base as well. They’ll simply charge at a much slower pace.
Ever since the first BoostCharge Pro debuted, I’ve loved its bold, modern design. That design still shines, even several years on.
Although it’s hard to tell at first glance, there are design tweaks that make it

Last year, I got the chance to plop my butt down in the Sihoo Doro C300 ergonomic chair for a while, and it proved that when it comes to ergonomic chairs, you get what you pay for, and was a great value even with a $300 price tag. Now, Sihoo is back with a Pro model that sports a nip here and a tuck there in the hope that the new version is “better in every way.” The Doro C300 Pro is definitely an excellent ergonomic chair, but the cost seems designed to compete with other high-end chairs rather than resulting from its improved features. It's great but it won't make sense for most people compared to the C300.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models will launch with a handful of improvements in terms of design, and as per the latest leak, Apple is tweaking the internal design as well to fit a bigger battery. While all iPhone 16 models are expected to house bigger batteries, the iPhone 16 Plus battery capacity will be slightly smaller than the current iPhone 15 Plus model.
The Apple Vision Pro is an impressive piece of hardware, and the eye-tracking/hand gesture input combo is fantastic for navigating menus and the like. It’s not so great for gaming. There haven't been many easy ways to connect a third-party controller for playing iPad or cloud games. This is changing, however, as accessory manufacturer 8BitDo just announced Vision Pro compatibility for a number of its controllers.
To receive a PlayStation 5 Pro label called Trinity Enhanced, games must feature a Pro-exclusive display mode that will deliver 4K resolution and costant 60 frames per second.
60 FPS. It’s the thing gamers want in their video games, but developers are not always able to deliver. Many gamers were sold on the idea that the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 could run games at 60 FPS. As things stand in the current console generation, most games are still on 30 FPS, and those games that do run at 60 FPS, compromise on resolution and some image enhancements to get there.
As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2025, fans eagerly speculate about how the game will perform on next-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. With the recent leak of the rumored PS5 Pro's specs, excitement has peaked, raising questions about whether the upgraded console will offer an enhanced gaming experience for GTA 6 enthusiasts.
Even though the launch of the iPhone 16 series is nearly 6 months away, leaks have already started surfacing. In recent months, reports have come out suggesting several features of the smartphone, including a tweaked design, new chip, and better cameras. Now, it is being suggested that the iPhone 16 Pro may also get a fresh coat of paint with two new colours reportedly being planned.
