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

Zens Quattro Wireless Charger Pro 4

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.

Apple “would rather not attach its brand” to TikTok, Gurman says
Download page for TikTok app on Android in the US.

After Trump's recent 75-day extension to the TikTok ban, the video-based social media app has once again become the focus of wild speculation and discussion. In spite of that, Apple analyst Mark Gurman says the company has no intention of purchasing or even investing in TikTok. Potential suitors include names like Oracle, AppLovin, and even YouTube personality Mr. Beast. The idea that Apple might get involved was tossed around in the early days of the TikTok, but it was all based in rumor.

"There is no obvious scenario in which Apple gets involved in TikTok, whether that’s an investment, full-blown acquisition or something else," Gurman writes in his Power On! newsletter. "Apple would rather not attach its brand to a contentious social media entity." Apple has already been the subject of media focus over the possibility of massive price hikes due to the recent tariffs, and the phone giant seems eager to avoid any further unwanted attention from the press.

OnePlus shows off a customizable button to retire its Alert Slider

Barely a month ago, OnePlus co-founder Pete Lau announced that the iconic two-stage alert slider switch was going away. Lau argued that the company wanted to embrace something more versatile and ultimately decided on a button format. 

Back then, the company didn’t share any further details on what the button would look like, and more importantly, what functionalities it would bring to the table. Well, now we do. A OnePlus executive has shared an image of the button on an upcoming phone, and shed some details on its utility, as well.

New Nothing phone arrives on April 28, but not the one you expect
The back of the CMF Phone 1.

Nothing has announced the launch of its next smartphone, but anyone expecting it to be the Nothing Phone 3 will have to be patient for a while longer, as its next phone falls under the CMF by Nothing brand. It’s the CMF Phone 2 Pro, and it’s coming at the end of April with a collection of new earbuds too.

On April 28, 2025 Nothing will announce the CMF Phone 2 Pro, its second smartphone, along with the CMF Buds 2, CMF Buds 2a, and CMF Buds 2 Plus. In case CMF by Nothing is new to you, it’s Nothing’s value-focused line, made to bring great design and fun hardware to more people. It can be all-too easy to ignore this type of brand when flashier devices catch our eye, but that would be a mistake with CMF by Nothing’s current range. For example, we really liked the CMF Phone 1 when we used it, along with Nothing’s excellent CMF Watch Pro 2 too.
