This may be a slight diversion from the main topic, but Apple’s iSight camera was a pinnacle of design. I truly wish it were still on the market. I believe Apple could sell a significant number of units today if it ensured top-notch quality. Speaking of quality, when I opened AMEGAT’s new Qi2 desk charger, the iSight immediately came to mind.

Design
The design resembles a contemporary interpretation of the iSight. The iPhone rests at the front and can be adjusted up or down for your preferred angle. The AirPods charger is positioned at the base, while the Apple Watch charger is located on top. Additionally, it comes with a braided USB-C cable and a wall adapter, which is always a welcome feature.
One unexpected feature was the active cooling mechanism. It’s a fantastic element for daily use and operates quietly. I could hardly hear it, even in a serene setting. If you prefer a silent operation, there’s a physical switch on the top to deactivate it.
Daily Use
In everyday application, it’s an excellent choice for either a desk or nightstand. The 15W Qi2 charging significantly enhances performance if your device is compatible. The rapid and stable charging speeds are largely due to the cooling system. Since I don’t charge my iPhone overnight, I frequently place my iPhone on it as soon as I begin to work. AirPods charge seamlessly at the base, and I appreciate the positioning of the Apple Watch charger.
If you’re placing it on your nightstand and utilizing StandBy mode overnight, it performs well in that capacity as well. It remains steady and feels stable with one hand as you place or retrieve your iPhone.
The Qi2 technology is the highlight here, offering future-proofing. It enables the 15W charging speeds on compatible iPhones.
Conclusion
AMEGAT’s MagFusion 3-in-1 charger stands out as one of the most aesthetically pleasing Qi2 chargers I’ve encountered to date. I appreciate its resemblance to Apple’s iSight, making it a striking addition to any workspace. Its adjustable angle, Qi2 capabilities, and nearly silent cooling system make it easy to endorse. It meets all the functional requirements and wins points for its design.
It is available for purchase on Amazon.
