A mix of wired and wireless charging is available for up to four devices. The top of the list is the Zens 4-in-1 Modular Wireless Charger, which has an official MagSafe stand for charging at 15W wireless speeds, a Qi pad for charging compatible AirPods, and a stand for wiredUSB-C charging of an iPad or MacBook Air.
It's the last part that makes this $179.95 Franken-charging its "modular" nickname. If you change your mind, you can get the same setup as a three-in-one, but without the Apple Watch charging port.
Along with the release of these fancy MagSafe multichargers, Zens has introduced a $79.95 60W iPad / MacBook Air charging stand. It is only a charging stand that can be used for all kinds of tablets and laptops, without any options for accessories.
There are three new Zens charging points available from Apple.
Only a few of the options from Zens are compatible with true 15W MagSafe iPhone charging. One of the trade-offs for charging up to four power hungry devices is requiring one chonker of a 65W power supply.
The new Zens chargers are made of 35 percent recycled plastic and come with USA and international wall plugs, as well as a braidedusb-c tousb-c cable. It is cool to see some new and interesting charging accessories from the same company that brought us the wireless power bank sandwich and one of the best looking wireless charging pads.
The Zens continue a trend of Apple's magnetic charging feature being pretty dang expensive, even though it is welcome to see more proper MagSafe chargers in the world.
