The best wireless chargers for iPhone
Here s what to look for when picking out a charger for your iPhone, AirPods, or Apple Watch.
body>Over the last few years wireless charging has gone from novelty concept to a conventional function of any modern iPhone. We won t pretend that wireless charging is always an ideal substitute for plugging in, but it s a very hassle-free way to keep your phone topped off throughout the day. Freed from the bother of plugging and unplugging, a wireless charger on your desk is as good a place as any to set your phone, knowing the battery is being steadily replenished, and ready for your next outing. A wireless charger by your bed makes it easy to grab and go in the morning, or just to check one thing without fussing with the lightning cable.

There s always been one thing missing from my desk setup, and that s been a way to keep my iPhone and AirPods charged throughout the day if need be. I ll commonly find myself needing to charge one or the other during the workday due to my lack of charging them overnight.
So, when Nomad reached out about trying out their new Base Station Mini, I was very excited. I had been keeping an eye on the different kinds of wireless chargers that were good for a desk setup, but I hadn t found anything that I was really sold on yet. I also already use Nomad s Base Station Apple Watch Edition on my nightstand, which lets me charge my iPhone 12 Pro, AirPods Pro, and Apple Watch Series 6 overnight (if I remember of course).
