Priced at $140, the Boost Charge Pro MagSafe features an upright MagSafe charger that can accommodate one of Apple's iPhone 12 models, an Apple Watch charging puck, and a flat platform that can be used to charge AirPods or another iPhone.
With its 40W power adapter, the Boost Charge Pro MagSafe can charge an iPhone 12 at up to 15W, while the additional charging spot charges devices at 5W.
Belkin's Boost Charge Pro MagSafe is available in either black or white, and we shared a full review of the charger earlier this week. Belkin initially planned to release the charger in winter 2020, so it has been a bit delayed, but it is available as of today.
The Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe can be purchased from the online Apple Store for $140.

Well, I mean it's called "MagSafe" for a reason. ;)I wish the MagSafe didn't have the magnet. I preferred my third party Qi charger for my 11 Pro Max. I just set it down and picked it up.
You can also charge a non-MagSafe phone on the base, as some people have pointed out before.
The advantage to MagSafe charging is that the phone is precisely placed on the coils and can therefore operate at a faster speed with lower wasted power and thermals. The Android crew is going to whine about having fast Qi charging forever, but the chargers rarely output the full power unless perfectly aligned, which Apple is attempting to fix here.
If they can only figure out how to transfer DATA as well through MagSafe... We won't need a port anymore and it'll be glorious.
