Belkin was one of the first brands to appear when Apple announced the compatibility of its new iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X with wireless charging. Its charging base is, along with that of Mophie, the only officially certified by Apple that can be purchased in the Apple Store. Since then, wireless charging stations, which have been on the market for years, have become very popular.
That is why during this CES 2018, although it did not begin until Monday, we already know that we will be able to see the new products in this category that Belkin has prepared for us for this year, and they include a good number of accessories related entirely to wireless charging and that they solve some of the problems that many see in this system to recharge our iPhone.
The first of all is a base that will serve to recharge two devices simultaneously, with two charging discs with a power of up to 10W each and that it will be the perfect solution for many homes where there are two iPhones to recharge daily. It is very similar to Apple's AirPower base that is not yet for sale and that will also be much more expensive almost certainly.
The other bases presented are cheerfully simple, discreet, without stridencies, a luxury in this type of device, and they will be available in various colors, including pink, white, black and blue. With a power of 10W they can perfectly recharge the iPhone quickly, and of course, like the rest of the accessories in this article, they will be compatible with any smartphone that accepts the Qi standard, the most widespread.
A big problem with conventional horizontal bases is that you cannot see well when a notification arrives, something that is further accentuated by the fact that Face ID does not work well with the iPhone in that position. The solution? A wireless charging base that allows the iPhone to be placed vertically, even to watch movies without fear of running out of battery.
And what about the car? There are not many car holders with wireless charging, despite being an ideal solution to leave our iPhone while we drive. The last accessory that we want to highlight from those announced by Belkin is precisely a classic suction cup mount for car with wireless charging.
All these accessories can be seen during CES 2018, but will not arrive until the middle of the year, without knowing the exact date yet. We do not know their price either, but we are sure that they will be available in the Apple Store and in the main stores around the world.
