Looking for a quality travel charging station for iPhong/Apple Watch


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've always taken myriad cords and chargers when I travel to power up iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch/Air Pods, etc. My mom goofed and ordered two travel chargers for my old man for Xmas and asked if my brother or I would like the extra. I said, sure, I'll take it. It was pretty expensive from some German Sharper Image/Skymall type catalog company. Anyway, I've tried it out and it pretty much sucks shit through a straw. Do any of these work? I see Mophie-branded ones on Apple's webstore. There are cheaper alternatives on Amazon.

I don't mind spending money for quality. But I want it to be compact, reliable and I want it to be able to charge my phone and watch overnight -- or give it a quick boost if necessary. Does this thing exist?

Thanks -- saw that one and was already considering it.

The wife has one as well, and she uses it everyday at home too. I have a few of their products, and they are great.

I've run through so many shitty 3rd party wired and wireless charging shit* I'd advise to spend the premium and buy stuff endorsed by Apple through their store.  It's the least bad heuristic**.

Never used that specific wireless charger, but recently bought a Mophie multi-port wired charger and it's the least shitty version of that device of the 5+ that I have.

 

*even "good" brands like Anker is shit.

**it's not infallable.  recently had a bunch of fresh OEM Apple lighting cables fail too.
