3 months ago

When it comes to inventive USB-C accessories pinch rad designs, cipher does it for illustration Sharge. Now it’s pursuing up its classical Mac-inspired chargers, its Braun turntable-inspired battery, and whatever nan heck this is expected to be, pinch a caller MagSafe artillery that specifically echoes Sony’s classical T-Series Cybershot cameras.

It’s called nan Icemag 3, and it’s a 39.1Wh artillery (10,000mAh, if you must) pinch a built-in 25W Qi 2.2 magnetic wireless charger, a 35W USB-C cablegram built into its cloth lanyard, optional RGB lighting, an progressive instrumentality for cooling, and an other USB-C larboard for passthrough charging, too.

If you’ll recall, those classical Sony point-and-shoots had a large sliding barroom to protect their lenses — 1 that’d besides instantly bring nan camera to life erstwhile you descent it down!

The Icemag 3’s aluminum barroom doesn’t slide, and it doesn’t protect a camera lens — instead, it’s a fold-out stand, and nan battery’s glowing oculus is simply a 10,000rpm instrumentality to thief support nan charger cool. I’m not a instrumentality of mini fans, and recovered nan sound a spot annoying connected nan original Icemag, but possibly it helps support nan compact electronics cool?

This is technically nan 3rd type of nan Icemag, but nan first didn’t person a guidelines astatine each and was constricted to 7.5W wireless charging, and the second had a mini folding guidelines and 15W wireless charging. Neither had a built-in cable, and some charged from nan bottom.

Sharge has now moved its complaint larboard to nan broadside — mixed pinch nan large stand, it seems for illustration you could besides support it propped up connected your table arsenic a stationary wireless charger for your phone, and Sharge has a image of it simultaneously utilizing nan built-in cablegram to complaint immoderate earbuds arsenic well.

Not each Qi 2/MagSafe telephone supports nan 25W charging speeds, moreover wrong nan aforesaid family of devices. For example, nan Pixel 10 Pro XL does 25W wireless charging, but nan 10 Pro Fold, 10 Pro, and 10 are constricted to 15W. Apple has retroactively brought 25W charging to much of nan iPhone 16 lineup pinch iOS 26, though, and nan charger is backwards compatible pinch slower wirelessly charging gadgets arsenic well.

Sharge will motorboat nan Icemag 3 connected November 13th for astir $70 at its website; it should unit for $80 starting successful December. In lawsuit you’re curious, here’s really good I liked its erstwhile Braun-turntable-inspired battery:
