The Anker dock's compact, silent design made it ideal for bedside use, replacing the need for a separate smart display.

Nomad's Stand One Max: A Flawed Yet Ridiculously Great MagSafe Charger

Nomad has announced the Stand One Max, a 3-in-1 MagSafe charging stand that can simultaneously charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. However, a design flaw prevents users from using StandBy mode on their iPhone while charging the Apple Watch, as the watch charger blocks the phone from resting horizontally. This may not affect all users, but those who frequently use StandBy mode may find it inconvenient. The Stand One Max is priced at $180, offering fast charging for compatible Apple Watches but at a higher cost compared to Nomad's previous 3-in-1 charger.
