Belkin today announced that several of its new wireless charging accessories that first debuted at CES are now available for purchase on Amazon and from other third-party retailers.
The Soundform Elite Smart Speaker + Wireless Charger, priced at $300, combines wireless charging capabilities with speaker technology from Devialet. It looks a bit like a HomePod with the top cut off to provide a wireless charging spot for an iPhone, and it works with Google Assistant.
Belkin's Boost Charge 3-in-1 Wireless Charger, priced at $120, can charge an iPhone, AirPods, and an Apple Watch all at once. It has a sleek, compact design with an upright charging platform for an iPhone, a charging puck for the Apple Watch, and a space between the Apple Watch's band to charge the AirPods.
Available for $50, Belkin's Dual Wireless Charging Pads offer fast 7.5W charging for two iPhones at once through a single charging pad that has a dual-device design.
All of the wireless chargers listed above are available for purchase from Belkin and from Amazon as of today.
The image of the Belkin dock with the Apple Watch is specifically the BOOST UP model sold exclusively by Apple. It is not $120. The link is to Belkin's less expensive and less "exclusive" Belkin wireless charging pad. There are some pretty significant differences between the products. Suggestion, fix the image to reflect the actual product you're linking to.
I agree. I personally would just opt for a HomePod [Which has some heavy discounts with another successor incoming] and then a $15 wireless charger off Amazon. I see the convenience of an ‘all in one ‘device, but for $300? Belkin’s price is probably marked higher simply because of the ‘Belkin’ title attached.
It’s priced higher because of the sound development by Devialet, would be my guess. It will be interesting to see what reviewers think of the sound. That original Devialet speaker sounded really great, but I think I read that it was plagued by issues.
$300 for a speaker you can't hear beforehand has to be a hard sell.

Apple has dropped the number of Vision Pro units that it plans to ship in 2024, going from an expected 700 to 800k units to just 400k to 450k units, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Orders have been scaled back before the Vision Pro has launched in markets outside of the United States, which Kuo says is a sign that demand in the U.S. has "fallen sharply beyond expectations."
