These 3-in-1 devices promise to charge your iPhone with 15W speed while your Apple Watch and AirPods will still charge at 5W.

To make international travel even easier‚ the 3-in-1 Charging Stand comes with two travel adapters for the included 45W power adapter. These stands have a sleek‚ premium-grade aluminum enclosure that helps extend the lifespan of the devices and ensures maximum durability. According to Satechi‚ they feature a scratch-resistant vegan-leather base and a soft silicone charging puck that protects the phone from damage and prevents it from cracking over time.
