Scoring one of these lickety-split chargers at such a rock-bottom price? Empowering! (Amazon)(Amazon)
I remember my first reaction to wireless chargers: What’s so hard about plugging in your phone? Wrong question, it turned out. I should have asked: Wouldn't it be nice to eliminate that cord clutter around my nightstand? So, I tried one, and now the last thing I do before bedtime is set down my cell on my trusty wireless charger. Color me convinced. Of course, just like everything in tech, some chargers are better than others and price doesn't always equal quality. Take this Iniu: it’s up to 45 minutes faster than a standard 5-watt unit and costs less than $12. Sounds like a score to me.
Though it was released a couple of years ago, this MacBook Air is just as lightweight as its newer cousins and doesn't skimp on power thanks to its M2 chip. This is the lowest price this Mac has ever been and one of the best Prime Day deals we've seen this year.
"Eighteen hours of battery life is not just marketing. The speed of the M2 is snappy and can handle much more than I thought it would," raved one shopper. "The new screen is gorgeous. Trackpad is the best on the market bar none."
Worried that the green indicator light will keep you up all night? Don't. It automatically dims so you can head off to slumberland in peace.
When you combine Amazon's markdown with a 10% coupon, this wireless charger is less than a third of the price of Apple's own. At this price, why not grab two?
When I first unboxed my latest iPhone, the battery lasted all day, so charging it while I slept was enough to get me through the next day (plus the low battery prevented late night doom scrolling). Now, a year and change later, my phone's battery capacity is down to 86% of what it once was — not terrible, but it means that I need a charge every now and then throughout the day. That's where this deal comes in handy — at this price, I can get one for just about every room of the house.
The Iniu can automatically set charging power depending on your phone: 15W fast charge for LG, 10W fast charge for Samsung Galaxy, 7.5W fast charge for iPhone, and 5W standard charge for any other devices. It also monitors temperature in order to prevent overheating and battery damage, keeping your phone's battery capacity at an optimal level.
Oh, and unlike some wireless chargers that emit an annoying blue light that can light up a bedroom at night, the green charging indicator light on the Iniu is much less distracting. It also automatically dims in the dark so that it doesn't keep you awake at night. (Though, if I'm truly being honest with myself I should keep my phone charging in another room altogether, for my sleep quality, mental health and overall healthier morning routine.)
A whopping 21,000+ five-star reviewers recommend the Iniu wireless charger.
Pros 👍
"The charger has a sleek, minimalist design that fits perfectly on my nightstand," said this fan. "It’s not bulky, and the matte finish gives it a premium feel. I appreciate the anti-slip surface, which keeps my phone securely in place and wont slip when I bump the night stand or the dog hip-checks it."
And in case you're wondering ... "It works great with thick cases," said a happy customer, adding that "it doubles as a phone stand as it charges my phone in landscape mode," which means you can get a charge and watch some videos all at the same time.
A final five-star purchaser used it to eliminate a particular occupational annoyance. "I work outdoors a lot and suffered from sawdust and general stuff getting into my charging port. This made it extremely difficult to keep it clean and make a good connection. I've now put a plug in the port and use this ... It's effective and extremely convenient!"
Cons 👎
"After trying one, I bought five more," admitted one four-star reviewer who wound up with a wee gripe. "They are fairly lightweight plastic and easy to knock over if not paying attention," they cautioned, adding, "The cord they come with may be fine for many people, but could have been a foot longer to better reach the adapter on the floor next to the nightstand. On counters it would be fine. The quality of cord was very good, quite impressed really; just wished it was longer."
A final reviewer thought the design of the indicator light wasn't optimal, saying, "The indicator itself is very nice, green, visible from the distance, just as I like it. Pity that its at a wrong location. It should have been designed to be up front."
