Satechi today announced the launch of a new USB-C Watch AirPods Charger, which is a 2-in-1 accessory that's able to charge the AirPods and the Apple Watch.
Available exclusively from Apple for $49.95, the Satechi USB-C Watch AirPods Charger has a dual-sided design. On one side, there's an Apple Watch charging puck, and on the other side, there's a Qi-based wireless charging surface that works with the AirPods.
The USB-C Watch AirPods Charger can be plugged into a MacBook, iPad, or USB-C power adapter, and then the dual-sided design can charge the Apple Watch or AirPods depending on the accessory's orientation.
Made from aluminum and designed to match Apple devices, the charger has a small footprint and it's perfect for tucking into a backpack or bag while on the go. It can be purchased from the online Apple Store as of today.

The end of an 18-year era is on the horizon for the iPhone.
Apple reportedly plans to announce a new iPhone SE as soon as next week, and the device is expected to feature a full-screen design with Face ID, instead of a Touch ID home button. That means Apple will no longer sell any new iPhone models with a home button, for the first time since the original iPhone launched.
The home button...

I was tempted to get the old one, but never got around to it; but this one is a must.
Then again… This is perfect for travels; but there's a pandemic. And I'll be switching to the APM as my main suchathingie; so less of a need for that side.
Oh. Damn. Too little, too late.
I hate it when I want something and my brains decides to act like an adult and tells me that I, in fact, don't need it. ?
I think Satechi could make a good looking MagSafe duo competitor. Same design language as this with an aluminum body and it would look slick. Pipe dreaming for sure, but one can hope.
For what? You can choose to believe me or not. You seem to have made your mind up already, despite the facts. I never said it was a good iPhone charger. I just stated that it does, in fact, charge the phone.
