last year during their iPhone Tara band Apple gave a sneak peak of their air power charging that a wireless charging meant I can charge multiple devices at the same time and everyone assumed that the air power would go on sale in early 2018 and some people including myself thought we would see the air power map again at WWDC 2018 but neither of that happen now everybody is speculating that we're going to see the air power again at Apple's next iPhone event in September but with a rumored price tag between 150 and 200 dollars I think some people will find logitech's new wireless charger a little more attractive it does have its drawbacks but it is decent Logitech's powered for an iphone wireless charging stand only comes in white and we tell us for 70 bucks and like I just said it's rumored that the air power is going to cost somewhere between 150 and 200 dollars and if that's the case I don't feel like paying an Apple tags just for a wireless charger but we won't know a definitive price until Apple actually releases a thing but if you want to pick Logitech's wireless charger up I'll have a link to the description below and if you use the links will help size channel and also check with the numerous shows down below regarding what's in the box you just get the charging stand that has a non removable five-foot cable and a pretty big power adapter for the wall and I'll address this power adapter in a minute but besides that you also get a quick store guide that's pretty adamant about you not placing any credit cards near the contact point the entire body including the cable is covered in TPU so everywhere you touch has a soft touch feel to it which is pretty nice there's an indicator light on top of the charger that lets you know it's charging a phone and the bottom has rubber feet unfortunately from what I can tell the angle on the stand is not adjustable it's locked out of 65 degree angle after living with the charger for a few days and having a place on my desk I thought that the angle is fine but I would like to be able to adjust angle myself a little bit depending on where I place it and I also feel taller people are going to want to push the iPhone back a little bit personally I've never really cared about wireless charging because you can't use your phone and charge your phone at the same time that's why I still just prefer to use a cable but I'm going to really like having this extra wireless charging stand on my desk when I'm gonna get some work done I just dropped my phone into the cradle and you can easily see notifications as they come in and you don't have to worry about placing the iPhone perfectly in the cradle so the coreos line up you just drop and go but what I really like about this charging stand is that you can place your phone horizontally on it and you get a pretty good viewing angle when you're going to watch a video and no matter how much your phone vibrates when you get a phone call or notifications you don't have to worry about it falling out of the cradle we're going Tech Specs Logitech's wireless charger is still your standard qi wireless charger so you can charge any device that follows the Qi standard if you use a non iPhone device store wireless charger is gonna put out five watts of power but if you drop in an iPhone 8 iPhone 8 + or an iPhone 10 no wireless charger is gonna put out 7.5 watts of power instead and from my time using a Logitech wireless charger and from testing it with an iPhone 8 + running the latest wise I noticed it managed to charge the iPhone 8 + almost as fast as a wired connection and this is good the problem with wireless charging is that it's not as fast and much more wasteful than using a wired connection but when using logitech's wireless charger the iPhone and stand still gets considerably warm so you're still wasting some power but if you want legitimate fast charging you're still better off investing into Apple's USB C power back in USB C - lightning cable combo which is gonna cost you about a five bucks overall it is expensive for fast charging hopefully Apple does fix that at their next keynote next month and this kind of relates to my biggest question I have about Apple's air power it's just how fast will it be able to charge an iPhone wirelessly again it's rumored that is going to cost about $150 and we know it's going to be able to charge multiple devices at the same time and if that's the case I think it's a pretty tough sell at that price if charging your devices on the air power still means a slower charge rate than using a wired connection but if Apple's air power is able to wirelessly charge your iPhone and air pots - at the same time and do so faster than using a wired can action then I think it would constitute a premium price tag and it would also be very impressive otherwise if you think about it unless you're a die-hard Apple user that has an iPhone air pods and an Apple watch you don't really need the air power I'm just talking for myself here I rock an iPhone and air Potts combo everyone charges their phone on a daily basis but air pods when you can go about four to five days between charges so I've had no problem having one cable to charge both of my devices so I feel that unless the air Power has true Wireless fast charging it's really only going to be worth it for the group of people who have the iPhone air pods and Apple watch trifecta to invest $150 or more into a wireless charger but I personally think Logitech missed a golden opportunity with their wireless charger it's also heavily rumored that the airport's two are going to be announced at the next iPhone event and the biggest feature they're supposed to have is wireless charging and from the looks of it it looks like this wireless charger won't be able to charge the air pods - unless you lay it down flat or if you prop the air pods up with a pencil or something I think there's one on this charger would have been much cooler if you could just drop the air pots to there and get charging but another problem I have with as well as charger is is power break it's pretty big in a world where we're constantly trying to fit multiple power breaks on a single power strip less is always more but I do wish we had more of a power cable even though this is a five foot cable from my desk setup it's not enough i thinkin of the foot would have been just right and that's what she said so overall Logitech's new wireless charging stand is one of the better third-party wireless chargers out there it's very well built and it looks very good I just wish we also had a black option to choose from maybe even gray I like the fact that it props your phone up so if you have this charger on your desk it makes your phone look like an extra screen I also like that you don't have to go looking for the coil is every time you drop your phone into the cradle and I also like that this wireless charger charges your phone almost as fast as using a wired connection well for $70 this is definitely for somebody who wants convenience over everything else because personally I would rather invest that money into getting a USBC power brick from Apple and get fast charging we're in 30 minutes your iPhone gets a 50 percent charge from a dead battery and I also think a Logitech should've thought ahead and taking the air pots to into consideration given that they decided to release this product in August but I think we can still MacGyver something here if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit that like button and get subscribed it helps out more than you realize support the channel by clicking on the links down below and I'll catch you next time
