Last week, Amazon hosted its annual summer sales event known by the name of Prime Day. Despite that name, this event lasted nearly the whole week, ending on Friday, June 26. If you missed out on you chance to save one some new gadget or gizmo during the sale, you’re not out of luck just yet. Some products still have their deals active despite the event already being over.
Take a look here at the Anker Zolo magnetic wireless charger. You can charge your smartphone or other compatible devices wireless with one, and right now, Amazon has them for nearly half off.
The Anker Zolo magnetic charger comes in either black or white, and is sold either solo or part of a pack of two. The single chargers normally sell for $28, but the current 45% discount has them down to just $15 for a limited time. The two-pack bundle is normally priced at $40, but thanks to its 40% discount, you can get the set for just $24.
This magnetic wireless charger uses rapid 15W wireless charging. That isn’t as fast as you could find with a direct USB-C connection, but it will be able to bring a dead phone back up to 20% in about 19 minutes.
Wireless Charging, Kind of
It is a little funny to me that this is technically still called a wireless charger. Like wireless charging as a concept works nicely for when you want to set your phone down and can do so on a charging pad without finicking with the cable. I’m particularly a big fan of my wireless charging stand, also an Anker product.
This though is just a magnetic pad on a cable. It allows you to pick up and use your phone still while it’s charging. But at this point, haven’t we just over complicated plugging in your phone? You still have a cable connected. It’s just magnetically adhere to the back of your phone instead of being connected to the bottom.
I suppose though if you are in need of some extra chargers, these are still super cheap now thanks to the discount. Buying the two-pack means you can score them for just $12 a pop.
The magnetic warless charger works with any iPhone released after the iPhone 11 family. The iPhone 12 and later all come with support for wireless charging, plus the magnet.
These chargers also each come with a five foot cable. They’re compact enough to make them easy to pack up with you when traveling.
