ESR Gear has all of the accouterments you need to level up your tech
ESR Gear HaloLock 3-in-1 Wireless Charger in use for work at home.

This content was produced in partnership with ESR Gear.
Most chargers and power-delivery devices, like wireless charging pads or stands, are functional yet simple. There are a few out there that do some pretty cool things, but when all is said and done they don't really change much about how we use our gear. That is not true of ESR Gear's products, which not only make tech easier to use but also help level up your devices in new and interesting ways. Now, you can't claim that without an example to back it up. So, we'll direct your attention to ESR's HaloLock™ 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with CryoBoost™. It's equipped with wireless fast-charging tech, called CryoBoost Fast Charging, which delivers magnetic charging for phones in use, and helps keep them cool under pressure. More specifically, you can charge your iPhone 12 and above, including iPhone 13, and iPhone 14, while still watching videos, and the charge is powerful enough that the battery doesn't drain while you use the phone, unlike most comparable chargers that don't put out enough energy. Instead, HaloLock charges your device at the same time.

The HaloLock also includes several additional features, like space to charge your AirPods and Apple Watch, easy place-and-go charging support, and an adjustable view for the holder -- allowing you to swap the phone between portrait or landscape orientations. It's sleep-friendly too, so the system turns off the status lights when you're trying to get some rest preventing frustrating distractions that might pull you out of your slumber. Of course, that's just one of ESR's offerings, of which there are many. There's a phone kickstand with a wireless power bank built-in, iPhone and iPad cases, a magnetic screen protector, and much more.

The shopping holiday isn't arriving for several weeks, but given the popularity of Apple's smartphones, it will be wise to start your preparations for retailers' iPhone deals on Black Friday. We've got the answers to some of the most important questions from shoppers who are planning to buy an iPhone, and we'll provide more tips to maximize Black Friday iPhone deals as the event draws closer.
When will the Black Friday iPhone deals start in 2022?
Black Friday, which always happens after Thanksgiving, will fall on Nov. 25 this year. We're expecting retailers to offer their biggest discounts for iPhones on that day. However, you have the option of finishing your shopping early, because Black Friday iPhone deals will likely begin as soon as Nov. 21, which is the Monday of that week. The bargain prices will hit their peak on Black Friday, with leftovers available over the weekend through Cyber Monday. It's a good idea to buy a new iPhone as early as you can during Black Friday week, so that you won't fall victim to depleted stocks on the model that you're looking to purchase.

While waiting for retailers to roll out their Black Friday iPhone deals, you should check out our choice for the best iPhone to buy. With the arrival of the iPhone 14, its predecessor, the iPhone 13 and its variants, are expected to have their prices slashed for the shopping holiday. You might want to make use of this time to understand the smartphone's features, and maybe even take a look at older models if you want to enjoy even bigger savings.
Which retailer has the best Black Friday iPhone deals?
Apple participates in Black Friday sales, but only by offering gift cards. If you want to buy an iPhone without paying full price, you'll have to look at the Black Friday iPhone deals that will come from major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. It's too early to determine the seller that will offer the largest discounts, but they probably won't be too different from each other.
