How do you shop for a tech-savvy person who buys the latest of everything
before the holidays arrive? I am totally that person for my family when it
comes to the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods.
There are some Apple products that I can never have enough of like App Store
gift cards <https://bit.ly/2QqwDZH> and another HomePod
<https://bit.ly/2qwEgTk> , but stocking stuffers and expensive smart
speakers aren$B!G(Bt always the right gift.
That$B!G(Bs why I$B!G(Bm approaching my gift recommendations this year a bit
different. Last year I covered an area of great interest and expertise with
smart home products
<https://9to5mac.com/2018/12/17/smart-home-gift-guide-siri-alexa/> , and
most of those picks are still applicable.
But there$B!G(Bs also a lot of new technology out this year as well as gadgets
I$B!G(Bve received for testing - new technology that I$B!G(Bm super glad to
see
exist. Read on to see my favorite picks for new tech that I$B!G(Bm grateful
for
this year
Apple first started replacing its proprietary MagSafe 2 connector with USB-C
on MacBooks in 2015. In theory, this opened the door for charging Apple
laptops with portable batteries and car chargers similar to iPhones and
iPads.
The only catch was power delivery speeds: even the lightweight 12-inch
MacBook would struggle to keep a charge during use on car chargers and
battery packs. A better USB-C spec called PD for power delivery cranked up
the peak wattage, and now it$B!G(Bs totally possible
to push a MacBook Pro to the limit while charging in the car.
Satechi$B!G(Bs awesome $29 72W USBPD Car Charger <https://bit.ly/37hsEED> is
the first car charger I$B!G(Bve tested with this capability, and mine is an
absolute treasure to me. It features two ports: a 60W USB-C PD port and a
12W USB-A port. This lets you charge an iPhone or iPad simultaneously while
charging a MacBook Pro - even during use.
It$B!G(Bs amazing for getting work done as a passenger on a long road trip.
I$B!G(Bm
still amazed at how I can arrive somewhere with 100% battery in my MacBook
Pro when just a few years ago my 12-inch MacBook could barely keep its
battery percentage while charging.
Anker also has USB-C car chargers, including one with a 30W USB-C PD port
<https://amzn.to/2r0aQgO> and another with dual 18W USB-C PD ports
<https://amzn.to/2XpV8Yb> , but neither match the 60W output from Satechi.
It$B!G(Bs not just mobile USB-C chargers for Macs that have improved. MacBook
Air and MacBook Pro wall chargers have also advanced this year - not in
terms of power delivery but in miniaturization.
Thanks to new GaN (gallium nitride
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_nitride> ) charging bricks, you can
find fast and reliable iPad Pro and MacBook Pro wall chargers that are more
compact than what Apple includes in the box. And am just a few clicks away
from owning a third.
The $49 charging brick regularly goes on sale for as low as $29, and the
fact that it$B!G(Bs black like my MacBook keyboard and not white like
Apple$B!G(Bs
chargers pleases me to no end. It pairs perfectly with the black Monoprice
Essentials USB-C charging cable <https://bit.ly/33WLrTC> , available in 0.5
to 4 meter lengths from $6 to $12.
The all-black compact wall charger and extra long charging cable is one of
my top tech discoveries this year.
This is also the year that Apple cancelled
<https://9to5mac.com/2019/03/29/airpower-buy-now/> its failed AirPower
charging mat project first announced in 2017. Lots of AirPower alternatives
have tried to fill the wireless charging pad void for simultaneously
charging an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.
While no one has matched Apple$B!G(Bs vision of lay-it-anywhere-on-the-mat
wireless charging (including Apple), there is one similar 3-in-1 charging
solution that stands out.
Mophie$B!G(Bs recently introduced 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad has a dedicated
spot for charging any Apple Watch, AirPods Pro or AirPods with Wireless
Charging Case, and iPhone 8 or later. It$B!G(Bs not cheap at $140, but
it$B!G(Bs
very nice to own and makes for a great gift.
This has been my bedside charger since the fabric-covered version
<https://bit.ly/2qouymk> debuted a couple of months ago. It looks a lot
better than three individual chargers on my nightstand, and packing a single
charger in my bag during travel is a dream.
Both offer a very similar experience, but I prefer the tighter design of
Mophie$B!G(Bs personally. If you don$B!G(Bt need the Apple Watch charging
piece,
Mophie also sells a similar 2-in-1 wireless charging mat
<https://amzn.to/2D0w9kN> with a USB-A port for charging a third device
over the wire for $60 less.
Even with Apple$B!G(Bs AirPower project canceled, wireless charging moved
forward this year. Twelve months ago there was no wireless charging case for
AirPods <https://amzn.to/2KuAIrS> , Apple Watch had its own charger on my
nightstand, and I had a single wireless charger on my nightstand.
Speaking of one year ago, I definitely didn$B!G(Bt expect to ever include a
Samsung TV on my Apple gift guide. That changed at the turn of the year when
Apple introduced AirPlay 2 for smart TVs without an Apple TV box connected.
Samsung was the first to release
<https://9to5mac.com/2019/05/13/samsung-smart-tv-airplay-2-apple-tv-app/>
AirPlay 2 support for wirelessly sending audio or video from an Apple device
to a smart TV back in March.
Recent Samsung smart TVs also include the Apple TV app watching movies and
TV shows purchased from iTunes, viewing the new Apple TV+ streaming service,
and even watching other video services like HBO and CBS All-Access through
Apple TV Channels.
On the day that Samsung announced their Apple features were shipping, I
rushed over to Best Buy to find the lowest priced compatible Samsung TV
<https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-Smart-LED-UN43NU6900FXZA/dp/B07F
1T4JFB/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=UN43NU6900FXZA&qid=1574102179&s=electronics&sr=1-
1> just to try. That turned out to be the UN43NU6900FXZA, a 43-inch 4K LED
2018 model TV for $278.
For context, the current Apple TV lineup ranges from $150 to $200 before you
factor the cost of a new TV.
I$B!G(Bve been using the Samsung smart TV
<https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-Smart-LED-UN43NU6900FXZA/dp/B07F
1T4JFB/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=UN43NU6900FXZA&qid=1574102179&s=electronics&sr=1-
1> with no Apple TV as my bedroom TV since AirPlay 2 and the Apple TV app
appeared in a software update. Highly recommended as an affordable way to
put both Apple features in a new room without spending a fortune.
Wi-Fi 6, formerly known as 802.11ax, has hit the market this year as the
next generation of Wi-Fi after 802.11ac.
Prior to September, I would have said Wi-Fi 6 was too new to consider this
year. Wireless routers that support Wi-Fi 6 are markedly more expensive than
802.11ac wireless access points, and you need Wi-Fi 6 devices to best take
advantage of the new Wi-Fi standard (save for improvements in speed delivery
between multiple mesh routers).
Then the iPhone 11 lineup landed with 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 support included.
iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max are the first Apple devices
with Wi-Fi 6 support built-in, and we$B!G(Bre sure to see more Apple hardware
join next year.
If you$B!G(Bre considering a Wi-Fi upgrade for your family or really trying to
treat the tech-savvy person in your life, a Wi-Fi 6 mesh router feels like a
future pick this year that you can buy now.
I$B!G(Bve been testing the Linksys Velop Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Router
<https://amzn.to/2CThqIv> (regular $400, currently on sale for $300) for a
few weeks with my iPhone 11 Pro Max, and early results are promising. This
is a gift that will continue to deliver as your tech family or friend
upgrades their gadgets across 2020.
If Wi-Fi 6 adoption feels too far out in the future, you can get more mesh
bang for your buck (in black) with a Linksys Velop <https://amzn.to/2XpIlVP>
Wi-Fi 5 mesh router two-pack.
Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse <https://amzn.to/2r0iKH1>
My two-year-old son played a game of hide-and-seek with the black Magic
Mouse that came with my iMac Pro over the summer, except he forgot the whole
seek part.
I needed a new mouse for my desk but didn$B!G(Bt want to buy the same mouse
again only to have it eventually turn up somewhere. I tried the Logitech MX
Master 2S <https://amzn.to/37gB1jU> mouse instead. I liked the feel and
control of the MX Master mouse so much that I kept using it even after my
toddler revealed that my Magic Mouse was somehow tucked inside a crevice in
my desk chair.
Then the well-reviewed MX Master 2S was replaced with an even better
reviewed $99 Logitech MX Master 3 advanced mouse <https://amzn.to/2r0iKH1> .
I received one for testing alongside the $99 Logitech$B!G(Bs MX Keys
<https://amzn.to/37iKAin> keyboard, and I have to say the two are a great
pair.
My favorite feature of both is that the mouse and keyboard can connect and
charge over USB-C (Apple$B!G(Bs mouse and keyboard use Lightning) which is the
same charger as my iPad Pro and MacBook Pro.
The MX Master 3 mouse <https://amzn.to/2r0iKH1> also has an even better
feel in the hand than the MX Master 2S, and more buttons for customizing
actions with a click. The MX Keys wireless keyboard
<https://amzn.to/37iKAin> is backlit, unlike Apple$B!G(Bs standalone Magic
Keyboard.
Then there$B!G(Bs reliable fast switching between paired devices on both the
mouse and keyboard. I have each paired to my iMac Pro and my iPad Pro, and
switching between which device I$B!G(Bm using is as easy as a button press.
Highly recommended as a great way to improve existing hardware or take the
iPad Pro even further.
Apple released the 11-inch iPad Pro and redesigned 12.9-inch iPad Pro before
the end of last year. Keyboard case maker Brydge had to go back to the
drawing board with its special keyboard for making iPads feel like MacBooks.
Brydge <https://amzn.to/2QxDrV9> proved it was up for the challenge when it
launched a redesigned keyboard case for the all-new iPad Pro designs earlier
this year. While it$B!G(Bs not the iPad keyboard solution for me (I prefer the
on-screen keyboard or Smart Keyboard Folio), I did receive one for testing
this year for someone in my house.
My wife was going back to school to advance her nursing degree, and her
12-inch MacBook from April 2015 was really starting to show its age - even
after a keyboard repair.
Naturally, I took this opportunity to try the newest 12.9-inch iPad Pro for
myself and let her inherit my 11-inch iPad Pro and Smart Keyboard Folio
<https://amzn.to/342sJtK> . iPadOS 13 made switching from the Mac to the
iPad full time finally possible for her, but she soon let me know how
cramped the 11-inch Smart Keyboard felt to her.
Brydge Pro for iPad Pro <https://amzn.to/2KuMHWo> to the rescue. I
suggested she try the Bluetooth, backlit keyboard case, and she immediately
took to the MacBook-like keyboard case. I haven$B!G(Bt seen her use the iPad
Pro
without the Brydge Pro ($129, regular $149) since the day she got it.
It may not be for me, but it$B!G(Bs absolutely a highly regarded keyboard case
among former Mac and PC users leveraging the power of the iPad now.
Smart locks, fans, new Echo features, latest prices
Smart home products make great gifts. Shiny new toys to play with over the
holidays, and utility that lasts all year long. Products that work with
Apple HomeKit <https://9to5mac.com/guides/homekit-weekly/> are a big part
<https://9to5mac.com/2018/09/19/homekit-worth-it/> of modern smart home
setups. HomeKit accessories from a variety of brands work with Apple$B!G(Bs
Home
app and with voice control through Siri.
Apple$B!G(Bs smart home framework doesn$B!G(Bt cover the full range of what
you
might need for a smart home, however, which is where Amazon Alexa
<https://amzn.to/2P6GcZi> can help. There are also things to consider when
buying for smart home enthusiasts like upgraded network options,
network-attached storage for serving media and storing backups, and ways to
integrate charging stations throughout the house.
Siri Voice Control
Siri voice control for smart home accessories is limited to devices with
Siri <https://www.apple.com/siri/> built-in (i.e. Apple products
<https://amzn.to/2PbQ3gI> ) which include iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch,
Apple TV 4 and Apple TV 4K, and HomePod. Siri on each platform - iOS, macOS,
watchOS, tvOS, and HomePod - can control HomeKit accessories with simple
voice commands.
iPhone and Apple Watch are great at controlling HomeKit with Siri because
they$B!G(Bre often with you, and HomePod works well with HomeKit voice
commands
because it$B!G(Bs always present. Simply say $B!H(BHey Siri$B!I(B to
invoke the voice
assistant and give a HomeKit request.
Apple HomeKit
There are lots of categories within HomeKit including lighting, heating and
cooling, sensors and buttons, and many more. I shared my top picks in each
category on my essential and advanced smart home accessory recommendations
<https://9to5mac.com/2018/10/10/homekit-recommendations/> list a few weeks
ago so check that out for a deeper dive. For a quick overview, these are my
top HomeKit accessory recommendations that make excellent gifts:
* iHome ISP6X Wi-FI Smart Plug <https://amzn.to/2Q0C5Dl> ($33.40)
* Wemo Mini Smart Plug <https://amzn.to/2TQiDrv> ($24.99)
* ecobee3 lite Smart Thermostat <https://amzn.to/2SgIgzM> ($139)
* Logitech Circle 2 Indoor/Outdoor Wired Home Security Camera
<https://amzn.to/2KJ2lMU> ($119.99, reg. $179.99)
* Koogeek Door Window Sensor <https://amzn.to/2r8HucL> ($29.99)
* Fibaro Motion Sensor <https://amzn.to/2Sk05hx> ($65.83)
* Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Smart Bulb Starter Kit
<https://amzn.to/2r7idzG> ($169.15, reg. $199.99)
Smart plugs make it super easy to turn any appliance with a power cord into
a HomeKit-controlled accessory with on and off control using voice and the
Home app. Smart thermostats let you change the target temperature, switch
between heating and cooling, and turn off your HVAC system remotely.
Smart home security cameras let you keep an eye on every room of your house,
inside and out, all from the same Home app that controls the rest of your
home - regardless of what brand makes which accessory. Door and window
sensors let you know if an entry point is secured, and you can even use
automation to do things like turn on smart lights when a door is opened in
the evening. And Fibaro$B!G(Bs motion sensor detects presence, temperature,
and
even brightness in one sensor.
Other ideas for HomeKit accessories include smart locks which can be pricier
but make for great gifts. You can find smart locks that replace your
existing lock and have outside keypads or even ones that only change the
turnkey inside without requiring new keys outside:
* August Smart Lock Pro + Connect, 3rd gen <https://amzn.to/2Bo8ud3>
($229, reg. $279.99)
* Friday Smart Lock <https://amzn.to/2EBuqpb> ($184.99)
* Kwikset Premis Touchscreen Smart Lock <https://amzn.to/2Lo9zpQ>
($178.18, reg. $229)
* Yale Assure Lock <https://amzn.to/2EBX21F> ($248)
* VOCOlinc T-GUARD Smart Lock <https://amzn.to/2Ci565b> ($159.99,
reg. $169.99)
HomeKit ceiling fans are also pricier gifts, but great for making a big
impression. You can add a smart switch to your existing fan, but replacing
it with a HomeKit version gives you light brightness control and fan speed
and direction control with Siri and the Home app:
* Hunter Symphony Ceiling Fan <https://amzn.to/2UROZ5C> ($299.99)
* Hunter Brunswick Ceiling Fan <https://amzn.to/2UQYMsv> ($269.99,
reg. $329)
* Hunter Signal Ceiling Fan <https://amzn.to/2GoeEzE> ($349)
Amazon Alexa
Siri voice control is great if you$B!G(Bre deep in the Apple ecosystem (like
me), but Amazon Alexa is built-in to a larger variety of products ranging
from smart speakers to smart thermostats and smart smoke detectors.
Amazon$B!G(B
s voice assistant is also more open than Siri when it comes to streaming
music services like Spotify <https://amzn.to/2PYdDCF> and Pandora
<https://amzn.to/2Sf5DtC> and audio assistant skills like reading stories
and answering trivia.
You can also now use Apple Music on Amazon Echo speakers!
<https://9to5mac.com/2018/12/14/apple-music-amazon-echo-alexa/>
Amazon$B!G(Bs Echo range of smart speakers offers the best experience with
Alexa. The 2nd-generation Echo Dot <https://amzn.to/2Qw4GQJ> ($19.99, reg.
$39.99) is the cheapest way to deploy Alexa for smart home control, but the
all-new, redesigned Echo Dot <https://amzn.to/2TX82uX> ($29.99, reg.
$49.99) is visually more appealing and sounds much better for a small and
affordable smart speaker. I really think the third-gen model is worth the
extra $10, even if you$B!G(Bre buying a few.
The standard Amazon Echo speaker <https://amzn.to/2BBCPpF> ($69.99, reg.
$99.99) offers louder sound with deeper bass without breaking the bank, and
I really like the recently introduced (PRODUCT)RED edition
<https://amzn.to/2SgL5km> that ships at the beginning of December.
The pricier, redesigned Echo Plus <https://amzn.to/2KETXxP> ($149.99, reg.
$164.98) has the best sound (and design) of all the Echo smart speakers, but
the cheaper versions are so compelling that it$B!G(Bs harder to recommend the
more expensive option - even when it$B!G(Bs on sale.
Amazon also makes two Echo smart speakers with displays. The $129 Echo Spot
<https://amzn.to/2raGd5a> is a terrific digital alarm clock and timer for
the bedroom or kitchen, and you can even have Alexa video call to the Alexa
app on iOS or other Echo smart displays.
I really like the Echo Spot as a smart home device. Amazon also recently
launched its second Echo Show, <https://amzn.to/2SiqOv4> a 10.1-inch smart
screen that matches all the other Echo features and plays video on a larger
screen. At $229.99 regular, I haven$B!G(Bt been curious enough to try one of
these and can$B!G(Bt recommend it.
Select Sonos speakers also work with Amazon Alexa, but they$B!G(Bre pricier
and
not always integrated with Amazon$B!G(Bs latest features at launch - like the
newly added Apple Music control with Alexa. Sonos One
<https://amzn.to/2P9Rooh> and Sonos Beam <https://amzn.to/2E4TjZS> work
with Amazon Alexa out-of-the-box, and other Sonos speakers can be controlled
with Amazon Echo Dot and other Echo speakers. Alexa in smart appliances can
be convenient for adding voice control to a specific device, but the best
overall experience for the price is in the latest Amazon Echo Dot.
Alexa Accessories
For smart home categories that HomeKit doesn$B!G(Bt support yet,
there$B!G(Bs Amazon
Alexa to fill in the gap. This is also true for categories that HomeKit
supports but for accessories that don$B!G(Bt yet work with HomeKit.
My absolute favorite example of this is the Roomba vacuum cleaner
<https://amzn.to/2KD0n0x> from iRobot. Using just your voice, you can tell
Alexa to start the vacuum, stop the vacuum, or send it back to its charging
base. The experience is super natural and doesn$B!G(Bt require learning
complicated jargon like some Alexa skills need.
The Roomba i7+ <https://bit.ly/2TNH48V> ($949) is a new version introduced
this year that pairs an automatic receptacle with the automated robot vacuum
cleaner. It$B!G(Bs pricey, but I believe it$B!G(Bs the best product in its
category.
Simply schedule the vacuum cleaner to run on certain days at specific times
or use voice to start and stop cleaning, then empty the canister once a
month. The Roomba empties its dust and debris collection into the bin after
each cleaning session, then recharges at the base. You also receive an alert
on your iPhone or iPad after each cleaning job is completed.
The charging base plus trash can combo is paired with the Roomba i7+, or you
can add it on later <https://bit.ly/2KEuX9P> to any i-series Roomba for
$299. If you want to save money and empty the Roomba each time it fills up,
you can still use Alexa voice control on any model with Wi-Fi including
Roomba 675 <https://amzn.to/2KEKMNN> from $248.00.
Other great Alexa-enabled smart home accessories include:
* Amazon Smart Plug <https://amzn.to/2E1E9Vq> ( $19.99, reg. $24.99)
* Etekcity WiFi Smart Plug, 4-pack <https://amzn.to/2E1cKTv> ($36.98)
* Ring Wi-Fi Enabled Video Doorbell <https://amzn.to/2DNXl8c> ($99)
* Ring Video Doorbell Pro <https://amzn.to/2KFbgPm> ($249)
* Arlo Pro 2 <https://amzn.to/2QryjSW> - Wireless Home Security
Camera System ($401.73, reg. $479)
Smart Home Network
The foundation to a solid smart home is reliable Wi-Fi that reaches every
corner of the house. The best way to give the gift of great Wi-Fi is with a
modern mesh Wi-Fi system. If you or someone you know is still using
Apple$B!G(Bs
discontinued AirPort routers, upgrading to a mesh Wi-Fi system can expand
coverage in larger homes to hard-to-reach locations where connected devices
exist.
There are lots of mesh Wi-Fi systems on the market today. Wi-Fi startup eero
has made a name for itself with its quick-to-market eero mesh <https://amzn.
to/2KH4GHU> Wi-Fi solutions from $299, and the hardware and software makes
set up and management possible for novices. Netgear Orbi
<https://amzn.to/2DPHzJS> ($319) is a large but well-reviewed solution from
a longtime maker of wireless routers, and the trade-off for larger nodes is
more Ethernet port availability.
Apple Stores carry a Linksys mesh Wi-Fi system called Velop
<https://amzn.to/2TQpYHz> ($322.99, reg. $349). Each node looks a lot like
the discontinued AirPort Extreme, but the hardware inside has been updated
for modern Wi-Fi needs. I personally use Linksys Velop and enjoy the app
experience for managing network settings, and coverage and performance is
great with at least two nodes in 2-3 bedroom homes. Multi-story homes and
homes with more rooms should consider the three pack.
Linksys Velop is primarily sold in white versions (and only in white through
Apple) but Best Buy and Amazon carry sleeker-looking black versions that
look nicer in entertainment center and pro user setups.
Another essential for smart home enthusiasts is a multi-port Ethernet
bridge. Mesh Wi-Fi system nodes are notorious for featuring too few Ethernet
ports for connecting bridges and other necessary hardware that requires an
Ethernet connection to run. Adding an Ethernet switch expands the total
number of Ethernet ports available, and Linksys has a two-node Velop bundle
in black <https://amzn.to/2KDOlnB> with a Linksys 8-port Gigabit Ethernet
Switch included that$B!G(Bs perfect for smart home enthusiasts from $334.81
(reg. $342.98).
Smart Media & BackupsSmart homes don$B!G(Bt have to be limited to connected
lights and voice assistants. Network-attached storage puts an always-on
server in your home which can be used for storing and serving movies and TV
shows and saving software backups.
Synology makes reliable and easy-to-use NAS products that can be used for
Plex media libraries, Time Machine backups, offloading large file libraries
from your Mac, and even HomeBridge servers for making non-HomeKit products
work with Siri and the Home app.
Personally, I use and recommend the Synology DS218+
<https://amzn.to/2DRviF4> ($298) which is rated for live transcoding of up
to two 4K videos simultaneously - great for shared Plex libraries - paired
with a Seagate BarraCuda Internal Hard Drive 4TB <https://amzn.to/2KDgsmE>
($110.99, reg. $130.18). The total package costs around $400 (and you can
save on storage and add more later) and works great as an always-on media
server without taxing my Mac.
I also use the Synology and its large hard drive for local Time Machine
backups from my Mac over Wi-Fi. I love the peace of mind of owning my media
library and streaming it over the Internet from my own home, and having
local backups without worrying about storage limitations is great.
Smart Charging
Finally, there are wireless charging pads for the latest iPhones including
iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X, XS, XS Max, and XR. You can spend a lot on wireless
chargers or you can spend a little. The difference for iPhones is with how
fast iOS allows the iPhone to be charged. Non-approved wireless chargers top
off at a slow 5W charging speed, while certified chargers are allowed to
jump up to 7.5W. The difference won$B!G(Bt matter if you$B!G(Bre charging
overnight,
but it$B!G(Bs something to keep in mind when purchasing wireless chargers.
Deploying wireless chargers in key locations like your living room, kitchen,
and bedroom makes it easy to set your iPhone down almost anywhere and charge
the battery without even thinking about it. Mophie is the maker of one of
the Apple-endorsed wireless chargers for iPhone with its Wireless Charging
Base <https://amzn.to/2KLuwuJ> . Originally sold for $59.99, it now retails
for $39.99 regular and $19.99 on sale from Amazon.
Cheaper and upright wireless charging stands include:
* CHOETECH Wireless Charger <https://amzn.to/2rb5OdX> ($12.99)
* Anker PowerWave Fast Wireless Charger Stand
<https://amzn.to/2zp9Dkr> ($29.99)
* RAVPower Wireless Portable Charger 10000mAh
<https://amzn.to/2E2P94J> ($32.99)
Want a more impressive wireless charger? Belkin$B!G(Bs pricey but attractive

for $159.95.
