Nomad Stand One Max is the Qi2 charging hub upgrade you didn’t know you needed


All of your Apple devices can charge on the tweaked feature of our favorite changer. It has a feature we have yet to see go mainstream, too.

It’s been one of my desktop essentials for a while, and now, it’s being replaced by its successor: a slightly upgraded version with one killer feature that more iPhone accessory companies need to adopt. It used to poke out the right side of the MagSafe charger, but that blocked you from being able to mount your iPhone in landscape for StandBy Mode, a feature in iOS that turns your phone into a smart display. Apparently, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra just missed launching with Qi2, so there’s hope for 2025 phones.
