The ChargeTree’s elegant design means it takes up hardly any space.
There’s a growing market for all–in–one chargers designed for people who own a recent iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods with wireless charging. Thanks to the non– appearance of Apple’s AirPower, third–parties have stepped up to provide solutions, and STM’s QI–certified ChargeTree is one of them.
The design here is a little different to some other three–in–one chargers, with STM having opted for the smallest possible footprint. They’ve used the height needed for the larger iPhones very cleverly, placing the Apple Watch charging area on a shelf behind the top of that support. That does mean it won’t work for Nightstand mode, since the Watch will always face upwards. And the strap has to hang or loop underneath, which is slightly less aesthetically pleasing than being more hidden around the back, but it’s not a deal– breaker. The AirPods area is cleverly situated on top of the foot of the charger and behind the phone support, which is another good use of space. Pop your case on and you’re away.
