Mophie Delivers Colorful New Apple-Exclusive Charging Accessories
Mophie Portable Charger, USB-C cables, and 3-in-1 Travel Charger If you're looking to add a pop of color to your charging accessories, you should head to right away. Mophie, one of Apple's trusted accessory makers, has just delivered three new products in eye-popping colorways. I've been a fan of Mophie for quite a while, given that they make one of the best charging cases on the market for the iPhone 16, the Juice Pack. Having used their stuff personally to ensure my iPhone doesn't die when I'm on the go, I tend to pay attention with they announce new products. So what did Mophie send to your local Apple store today? Check out this stylish trio. Not only do they look good, they're reliable and convenient. Powerstation Plus 10K First up is a teal and purple charging station with integrated Lightning and USB-C charging cables, so it's good for legacy devices as well as the latest iPads, iPhones, and AirPods. The 10,000mAh battery provides a substantial amount of power. The Lighting cable can deliver up to 20W of power while the USB-C can deliver up to 24W. It's fast enough to charge an iPhone to 50% in just 30 minutes. Just keep in mind that the max power delivery for the entire device is 27W. So if you're charging multiple devices at once, you'll only get around 13W. The teal and purple exterior is extremely eye-catching and won't get lost in the bottom of your bag. Apple's got it for $79.95. Creamsicle and aqua dreams Delivering charging capability on the go, the aptly-named 3-in-1 Travel Charger folds into a cute little orange square and comes with its own, easy-to-find orange zipper bag. Unfold the charger at your destination and your treated to a creamsicle phone charger with a Qi charging pad on the back for your AirPods and a lovely aqua watch charger. Not only does this kit come with the charger itself, it has a 30W wall charger and USB-C cable, as well as several international socket adapters. I especially appreciate the inclusion of the wall charger, a rare thing to come with accessories these days. But as nice as this kit looks, the price might give you a moment's hesitation. At $149.95, it's a hefty price to pay for upping the style of your charging game. USB-C to USB-C cable, front left Having burned through my fair share of charging cables, I appreciate when a company adds some extra flare to this oft-ignored portion of the charging ecosystem. Mophie's USB-C to USB-C (both in 1m and 2m varieties) and USB-A to USB-C cables feature a heavy-duty braided exterior and a flexible "EnduraFlex" silicone interior. Mophie tests them up to 30,000 bends, which makes them perfect for traveling (or pressing into duty in the car). They're USB-C 2.0 cables as well, so you'll get the fastest charging and data transfer. They start at just $19.95 for the shorter cables. Charging equipment, overall, tends to be deeply boring. So I really appreciate it when a company goes all-in and designs something colorful and fun. As I mentioned at the top, though, these are Apple exclusives, so you'll have to purchase them from the Apple website or find them at your local Apple store.
