I asked an Apple fan what his favourite Apple accessory was, and he gave me this 3-min rundown of why he loves his BoostCharge 3-in-1 Wireless Charger from Belkin.

Belkin’s aesthetic BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 15W Wireless Charger offers convenience and fast power with MagSafe technology.
Dylan currently uses the BoostCharge 3-in-1 7.5W Wireless Charger for his iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods Pro.
He is planning to buy the BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe 15W for his new Apple 14 Pro Max, Watch Series 8 and AirPods Pro.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe 15W
The latest version of Belkin’s 3-in-1 wireless charging stand is the BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe 15W.
It is compatible with the latest iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8 and new AirPods Pro.
The phone charger allows the iPhone to be placed in both landscape and portrait modes, and features a magnetic charging module for the Apple Watch that delivers 33% faster charging for Apple Watch Series 7 – charging from 0-80% in about 45 minutes.
Currently available for S$219 from Belkin’s online stores on Challenger.sg, LazMall and Shopee Mall.
The first and foremost benefit of the 3-in-1 Wireless Charger is that Dylan is able to charge three devices simultaneously with only one power outlet.
This is convenient both at home and in his office — especially at home since his other family members are also Apple fans with iPhones, Watches and AirPods to charge as well.
When he doesn’t have THREE available power outlets (or multiplugs), he’d usually have to charge only one device at a time and only move on to the next device when the previous one had completed charging.
Dylan loves how compact and tidy the wireless charger is – instead of three separate charging cables to three separate devices, there is only one cable from the power outlet to the 3-in-1 wireless charger.
And the upright charger for the iPhone doubles up as a phone stand so he can talk handsfree, FaceTime or record a voice memo while the phone is on the wireless charging stand.

IFA Berlin 2022 (2-6 September) saw brands, retailers and the public return to the world’s top consumer and home electronics event in Germany.

Sustainability, Connectivity, and Smart Home solutions were the big themes at this year’s IFA Berlin 2022.
After a three-year break, and despite lockdowns and other restrictions that continue to affect parts of Asia, exhibitors took up more than 80% of floor space at the Messe Berlin fairgrounds, with brands keenly taking up the opportunity to finally reconnect face-to-face with retailers, media and the public.
“After the pandemic-related break, IFA made an impressive comeback with the most important trends for products and solutions in the fields of consumer electronics and home appliances as well as related industries, especially in the area of sustainability. It was once again the proven meeting place for industry and trade, trade visitors, the media and, of course, consumers,” said Dr. Sara Warneke, gfu’s Managing Director.
Overall attendance at IFA 2022 was strong as well, especially considering the ongoing travel restrictions in Asia.
Just over 161,000 people came to IFA Berlin during the five days of the show; compared to pre-pandemic years, industry professionals and trade visitors made up a higher proportion of all attendees.
Many exhibitors reported an unusually high number of business meetings taking place during the show.
Despite global challenges like ongoing supply chain disruption and inflationary pressures, the exhibitors at IFA 2022 recorded a huge order volume.
More details below from the press release.
