Review - Belkin's MagSafe 2-in-1 Is The Best Charging Solution for iPhone 12 & AirPods!

I'm excited to talk to you guys about the latest update from Belkin's MagSafe charger line. As some of you may know, Apple recently introduced their new MagSafe technology with the release of the iPhone 12 series. Since then, we've seen a variety of third-party chargers and accessories hit the market, but one of the most popular has been Belkin's three-in-one MagSafe charger. However, this charger was limited to those who also owned an Apple Watch, which left many users feeling frustrated.

That's why Belkin has just released a new version of their MagSafe charger that addresses this issue. Dubbed "Boom," this two-in-one charger is designed to work with either your iPhone or another Qi-enabled device, making it the perfect solution for those who don't own an Apple Watch. The idea behind Boom is simple: you get a compact and convenient charging dock on top, complete with an MFi-certified MagSafe charging puck, as well as a spot at the bottom that can accommodate other Qi-enabled devices.

One of the most interesting features of this charger is its ability to rotate and spin around when you place your phone or device on top. This means you can easily adjust the orientation of your device to suit your needs, whether you want to watch a video in landscape mode or listen to music with your AirPods. The MagSafe charging puck itself is also equipped with a soft-touch surface that provides a comfortable grip, making it easy to handle and place on your desk or table.

But what really sets Boom apart is its ability to deliver up to 15 watts of power to your iPhone. This means you can quickly charge your phone on the go, whether you're using it as a laptop stand or simply want to top off your battery before heading out for the day. And if you don't need the full 15 watts, the spot at the bottom of the charger can also deliver up to five watts of power, making it perfect for charging small devices like AirPods or other Qi-enabled headphones.

The Boom charger is available in both black and white, with a sleek and compact design that makes it easy to integrate into any room. The stainless steel stem on the back adds a touch of sophistication, while the glossy finish gives it a premium look that will blend seamlessly into your existing decor.

One thing worth noting is that the charger itself is powered by a special Belkin power brick with a USB-C barrel connector. While this means you can't simply swap out the power cord like you would with a traditional USB-A port, it also makes for a very slim and compact design that fits perfectly in tight spaces. The attention to detail on this product is impressive, from the pivoting barrel connector to the ease of swapping out the power cord, making it clear that Belkin has put a lot of thought into its design.

Overall, the new Boom MagSafe charger from Belkin is an exciting development for anyone looking for a convenient and versatile charging solution. With its two-in-one design, ability to deliver up to 15 watts of power, and compact design, this charger is sure to become a favorite among tech enthusiasts and anyone looking to upgrade their charging game.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome everyone to apple insider is my hair sufficiently unkempt for the day because it's getting quite ridiculous somebody needs to get a haircut it's it's me but i'm excited either way because i've got something fun to talk to you guys about you guys already know what it is is the updated version of belkin's magsafe charger this time it's two in one solution so a bit ago not long after the release of the iphone 12 line iphone 12 line uh you know apple introduced magsafe there well we got boom this guy belkin's three in one tree charger so you of course you've got your iphone mount here on the top you got your apple watch mount on the side and then below that spot for your air pods or another qi enabled device but a lot of you guys out there you were like oh i love it but i don't have an apple watch which means i don't need a 31 charger or maybe you want to pick it up as an additional device to put in like a living room or something and you don't need that apple watch charger there you were kind of stuck with this whole get up here unless you want to try to find another magazine charger but this is really the only one that's available right now but we're too new there's nothing else out there except for the belkin options or a variety of mounts to just adapt apple's magsafe charging puck but if you want an actual charger stand kind of guy this was your option but no more no faster were you guys clamoring for a two-in-one option that belkin was like we already knew you were gonna ask for that and that's why they've introduced boom this fella this cute little guy look at this look at him isn't that just super cool i mean this is this is what you guys were asking about get it in focus there camera come on yeah this is exactly what you guys were all asking about this is a two in one mag safe charger so walking you through what we can do on top is the mfi certified magsafe charging puck it's got a little bit of a soft touch to it almost kind of like there's a silicone cover or something on it or a fabric but it's got a little bit of a rubberized feel to the magnetic charging puck itself then you've got your iphone 12 whatever it may be the 12 the 12 mini 12 pro 12 pro max and your phone just sits right there on top because that it can also spin around put it sideways to watch a video portrait whatever you want to do but it can just move around easily when it's magnetically connected it'll work with a case that as long as that case is magsafe enabled there are more and more magsafe cases coming out all time we just saw some last week from mouse and nomad and a bunch more if you don't want to use a case that's totally fine you just use your phone as is apple has magsafe built right into the back so boom it connects on there and you can use your phone just as is or put it in any mag safe enabled case apple has their own as well as the other parties that we just talked about but you see your phone spot here on the top and then down below is a qi charger so your magsafe spot can do 15 watts of power and the guy on the bottom here that's capable of another i think five watts of power so perfect for your air pods your earpods pro anything like that i mean you could even do any other cheating devices like a phone or something you could pop that down on there there is a bit of a divot this is made for apple users like specifically it's magsafe it only works with like iphone stuff so it's really designed like a set of headphones it's got like a little nested spot that's kind of divoted down to work with any wireless charging set of airpods other headphones but you theoretically could use it just a qi charging pad so any other devices that charge over qi that can fit there it would potentially work so you had a cheat charging pad at the bottom and your phone at the top going to give you max amount of output for your phone again 15 watts of power the ability to rotate move it all around it's great now it does come i believe black and white i've got the white one here it's got this stainless steel stem coming off the back it's glossy it looks really pretty and what i like about stainless steel stuff is it blends into rooms very well so if you bring this into any darker room it's going to kind of reflect that back at you a lightroom is going to reflect that so it can really adapt to its scenario and look really nice in a variety of different designs and places so now we have both of these guys out there available for you guys to pick up the three in one or the two in one option these things are powered up over just a normal power brick so it's a belkin power brick it's got a special barrel connector and this is like some of the attention to detail that i like with belkin's stuff on one hand i would like usbc i would prefer it because you can just swap it out very easily they did some really cool stuff with making this very slim into the bottom and the barrel connector slides into place and then it pivots out so it's actually completely hidden and just has the cable coming out of there but you can always remove it and replace the cable if you need to so it wouldn't have been nearly even as easy if it was usb-c possibly not as slim as this base is so it is a neat consideration i like just a little bit of extra effort that they had put into it but this is amazing i know you guys were looking for that two-in-one option without the apple watch and now it is here two-in-one with that apple watch cheaper better price point if you want to grab this thing it's available now we got a link down below in the description uh you can go pick one up for yourself i wonder what you guys think finding a twitter andrew underscore osu and one let me know if you're using mag safe or if you're not why not if you are using mac safe are you going to pick up either of these guys you already get the three and one or where you end the two in one let me know at andrew underscore osu and as always i'll catch you guys in the next video you\n"
