You know that moment when youāre three hours into a graveyard shift at the call center, your Apple Watch is screaming about closed rings you havenāt even opened, your AirPods are gasping like a fish on a dock, and your iPhone is hovering at 4% because you forgot to plug it in before the 2:15 AM coffee run? Yeah, thatās when you start making decisions. Bad ones. Desperate ones. And somewhere between āI need everything charged at onceā and āWhat if I just⦠sat on it?ā the 3 in 1 Charging Station for Apple Devices ($16.99 on Amazon, B0BFCC18FS) entered my life. And my rectum.
Look, Iām not proud of this. But when youāve already tried a kitchenaid wireless charger reviewed by a guy named Chad who said it was ānice for bagels but not for body cavities,ā you learn to lower expectations. The 3-in-1 has a sleek white finish that feels like a cross between a dental appliance and a high-end coaster. The Watch charger is a little nipple that pops up, the AirPods spot is a recessed pad, and the phone standāyeah, you know where this is going. Itās got a weighted base. And it was $16.99. So you tell me: what else are you supposed to do at 3 AM with a half-empty Monsters and a void in your life?
I will say this: the cable management is exquisite. The 1.5m braided USB-C cord was a nice surpriseāI was bracing for one of those coiled landline nightmares that snap if you look at them wrong. But the real test, the physics test, was whether you could anchor all three charging pads simultaneously while maintaining dignity. Answer: barely. It requires a sort of arch-and-pivot maneuver that, if recorded, would end my relationship with the internet permanently. The phone rests at a 45-degree angle, the Watch is flush, and the AirPods case nestles into its cradle like a deranged chipmunk in a charger harness. Do not use the AirPods spot unless you want your entire audiobook history to play out of sync in a cramped orbit around your spine.
The electronics rectal use experiment? The word āchargedā means something different now. It means I got 30% on my iPhone 14, 42% on my Watch Series 7, and 16% on the AirPods Pro caseāplus a slight buzzing sensation that might have been haptic feedback or just my soul asking questions. And let me tell you: trying this was a mistake, and now when I go into work I have to tell Karen from billing, āNo, the kitchenaid wireless charger under 16.99 I mentioned was not the one from the break room sink.ā
Honestly, itās a decent charger. For your nightstand. For your kitchen. For your colonāeh, maybe stick to the desk. But at $16.99 and with a surprising lack of fire-related incidents, Iād say itās more āquestionable afternoonā than āregret chronicle.ā
