Scosche has launched its new products to charge our devices and these include one of the most interesting multiple charging bases that you can find for performance and price:Base3.
Scosche is a leader in smartphone mounts in the United States and Canada, a brand that offers the highest quality guarantees in all its products, and proof of this is that some are sold in the Apple Store, such as its fantastic BaseLynx, one of the few modular charging bases that you can find in the market. Hoy we analyze a simpler but very complete charging base, enough to recharge your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods, and that includes everything you need in the box, including the power adapter.
Scosche Base3 includes three cleverly positioned charging stations to take up as little space as possible, making it ideal for placing on your nightstand or desk, without taking up too much. Another of its main virtues is that it has everything you need, you will not have to add any charging cable, not the Apple Watch, not even the wall charger, because one 20W USB-C Power Delivery is included, and of course the necessary cable to connect it to the base, which has a USB-C connector.
It is made of plastic, with two colors available, black and white, both in a matte finish. A double led on the front indicates which charging stations are active. It is compatible with any smartphone that has wireless charging with Qi standard, offering 7,5W of power in the case of the iPhone, 5 / 10W in the case of other Android smartphones. For AirPods and Apple Watch it has a power of 2,5W. In the AirPods station you can place other headphones as long as their charging case is similar in shape and size to that of the AriPods. It works with both 1st and 2nd generation AirPods (with wireless charging box) as well as AirPods Pro and new AirPods 3.
In the Apple Watch station you can only recharge the Apple watch, due to the peculiar shape of the charger of this smartwatch. It is MFi certified for the watch, so you will not have any problem with any model of Apple Watch. Some gray silicone pads serve to take care of the surface of our iPhone and AirPods, as well as to prevent them from slipping. Of course, it complies with all the security measures required by the Qi standard, so you can rest easy when it comes to taking care of the battery of your devices.
One of the things I like best about this dock is that in the absence of MagSafe compatibility, opt for a vertical design in which you will not have to calculate the position of your iPhone and AirPods millimetrically, as you should do with other horizontal bases. It also allows you to view the notifications that arrive on your iPhone without having to pick it up.
Editor's opinion
A base to recharge your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods in a single accessory with a very small size and using a single plug. It is the perfect solution for our bedside table, desk even travel. Its price is $ 119,99 on the Scosche website (link), hopefully it will soon reach other online stores such as Amazon or the Apple Store, where some of their products are already sold.
