Apple now sells a two-story AirPower charging stand, but there’s a catch

If you were one of the people eagerly awaiting the launch of the AirPower wireless mat that Apple never actually launched, we have some news that might be music to your ears. 

Unfortunately it’s not that Apple has decided to launch the AirPower charging mat after all, but there is a charging device available exclusively on the Apple Store in a white and silver colour way that will charge four devices at once. If you remember, AirPower was only designed to power three.

The charging device comes from a company called Zens, which is based out of the Netherlands, and it is effectively a two-story charging stand for iPhones and AirPods – not Apple Watch though sadly and that’s the catch.

What can the Zens Quattro Wireless Charger Pro 4 charge?

Officially called the Zens Quattro Wireless Charger Pro 4, this charging stand can charge four devices simultaneously, whether that’s two pairs of AirPods and two iPhones, or three of one and one of another.

The charging stand is powered by a 65W adapter that delivers energy to the four MagSafe and Qi 2 compatible charging pads, each offering support for 15W charging speeds. It’s claimed to offer up to 35 per cent charge for your iPhone in 30 minutes.

The Zens Quattro Wireless Charger Pro 4 isn’t the only Zens charging stand to be offered through Apple either. Zens also has a 4-in-1 Wireless Charger that offers 60W of power to deliver 15W charging for your iPhone, 5W charging for your Apple Watch and wireless charging for AirPods at 5W. It says 4-in-1 but the fourth device would need to be charged using a cable via the USB-C port. 

Neither offer quite the same convenience as the AirPower mat would have done, but the Zen Quattro Wireless Charger Pro 4 being able to charge four devices at once is pretty handy, even if Apple Watch isn’t one of those.

The Zen Quattro Wireless Charger Pro 4 is available at Apple stores and online globally with a price of $149.95 in the US. The Zens 4-in-1 Wireless Charger is also priced at $149.95 in the US.

Google is planning on making Android 17 even more secure. The company had previously confirmed that Android 17 will now reduce the number of times someone can guess your PIN or password and add longer wait times between failed attempts.

Now, thanks to a deeper breakdown from Mishaal Rahman, we have a better idea of how aggressive that change really is.

Acti just turned your smartphone keyboard into an AI assistant
One keyboard that types your words and does your errands. This might be the upgrade your thumbs have been waiting for.
Acti keyboard open on iPhone

Your smartphone’s keyboard is the thing you interact with the most, and yet, it has largely remained the same since it was introduced two decades ago. Yes, it has become better at understanding our typing habits and predicting text, but its function has largely remained unchanged. 

A Singapore startup called Acti looked at the keyboard and the large space it occupies on your smartphone and asked a fair question. Why not make it actually do things? After seeing its keyboard in action, I think the idea has legs.

Finding photos is so much easier with Siri AI in iOS 27 that I no longer scroll
Natural language photo search in iOS 27 is the kind of feature that quietly becomes essential.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

My camera roll has crossed 8,000 photos, and it got there by capturing random moments (only to forget them later). The problem, however, starts when someone asks me to share something specific. It could be their portrait from last weekend or the food pictures they snapped using my phone.

Finding those pictures usually means scrolling through my seemingly endless camera roll. If the photo is a month or two old, I end up scrolling past hundreds of other images to find it, and that gets old fast.
