Nomad Unveils New 'Base Station Stand' Wireless Charger for iPhone and AirPods

by

Nomad today unveiled the Base Station Stand, a single device wireless charger designed to charge Qi-based products like the iPhone and the AirPods.

The Base Station Stand, priced at $100, can only charge one device at a time, but it is equipped with two charging coils to offer both horizontal or vertical iPhone charging as well as AirPods and AirPods Pro charging.

Most stand-based Qi wireless chargers are equipped with one coil and are meant to charge the iPhone only in an upright orientation, so a stand that can charge in either orientation and also has the capacity to charge AirPods is useful.

The Base Station Stand offers up to 10W of charging, though Apple's iPhones max out at 7.5W. It ships with a USB-A to USB-C cable, it features a machined aluminum frame and a leather charging pad, and it comes with an 18W wall adapter with US, UK, and EU plugs.

The Base Station Stand can be purchased from the Nomad website starting today.

It's one of those many items where I think, "It's nice, but not $100 nice."

$100 vs $12 because I can turn my iPhone sideways?

Pass.

An $80 cosmetic upgrade to my Anker charging stands, which charge my phone in portrait or landscape, and also my AirPods Pro.

I bought a dual orientation wireless QI charger on amazon for 20$ last year.

$100??? Just buy 5x of the 10w Insignia ones and pepper your house in them.

Finally someone realized charging stands need power buttons. Because the fact that I need to put my phone somewhere doesn't mean that on every such occasion I also want to charge the damn thing.

But yeah, the price is stupid. When did they last take a look around on Amazon?
