1. LEADWAY Powered 3-in-1 dock
The LEADWAY Powered 3-in-1 Dock is the best wireless charger for those who are juggling an iPhone, AirPods or AirPods Pro and an Apple Watch. This device supports all three at once, so you can just drop these devices on the dock and just start charging.
The Powered 3-in-1 Dock supports 7.5W fast charging for iPhones and 10W wireless charging for Android phones. The overall design is bulkier than other wireless chargers, but it doesn't take up that much room on a nightstand and eliminates the need for three separate chargers.
In our testing, we found it easy to line up devices for charging, and there's a glowing light on the side of the dock so you can make sure your phone is receiving juice. The Powered 3-in-1 dock works with iPhone cases as well, provided that they are 3mm thick or thinner. The stand design also makes it easy to use your phone while it's charging, whether you're making a FaceTime call or recording a voice memo.
2. LEADWAY WoodPuck
If you don't mind the mediocre 7.5W maximum charging speed or the fact you need to provide your own power brick, you'll find the WoodPuck will fit nicely into most settings around your home. That's thanks to its wood finish, choice of colors, and concealed micro-USB port meaning it doesn't look like a wireless charger. Just don't mistake it for a drinks coaster.
