Wireless chargers won’t provide the same rapid charge as a wired alternative, but the aesthetically pleasing InfinaCore T3 Pro is bearably slower when you consider its price point. For a similar 3-in-1 option that works just as efficiently and as easily, expect to pay double.

The InfinaCore T3 Pro is a simple design that offers three methods of wireless charging for Qi2-compatible smartphones, wireless-compatible watches, and AirPods. It’s a “set it and forget it” system that keeps the phone in place with a strong magnet compatible with most MagSafe accessories.

Pros & Cons

• Works with most of Apple’s ecosystem
• Smart design minimizes the space needed
• Relatively fast charging
• Unbeatable price tag

• Lightweight, cheap plastic feel
• Does not ship with a power adapter

3-In-1 Wireless Charging in a Pleasing Package

If you’re a technophile, chances are you’ve wrestled with charging cables. While many electronics have finally moved to USB-C, you may still have the odd one or two that require breaking out the micro USB or Lightning cable. That’s where a wireless charger becomes most convenient. No longer do you either have one cable for multiple devices or three of the same kind of cable sprawled about.

The tiered wireless charger features a front-facing magnetic pad for phones, a top-level Apple Watch charging pad, and a plate on which to rest an AirPod charging case. None of the three devices get in each other’s way, and you don’t have to sacrifice one over another like you sometimes have to with the original T3 charger depending on the configuration. The T3 Pro is convenient and clean, though it’s likely not going to astound with the rate at which it charges each device. Then again, wireless charging is about convenience, not speed.

It’s Fast, but Not That Fast

Like its tri-fold predecessor, the T3 Pro has a magnetic smartphone mount that only charges up to 15W. The other spots for AirPods and an Apple Watch top out at 5W and 3W, respectively. To put that into perspective, an iPhone 16 Plus is capable of 30W with the appropriate USB-C adapter, while the Apple Watch 10 is compatible with 20W chargers.

You’ll feel that drop if you’re used to rapid charging with a 30W adapter. Maybe less so if you’ve been working off a 20W. With the test I ran, I dropped the iPhone 16 Plus to 15% battery and set it on the T3 Pro for 15 minutes. Admittedly, I was surprised to see my battery at 50%, but things slowed down considerably when I let it charge wirelessly for another 30 minutes. At the end of that cycle, it had only jumped up 12%. I know when the battery gets closer to 80%, things slow down a bit. However, that seemed like a considerable drop for only being in the 70% range.

I’m focusing primarily on how fast the smartphone charger works simply because it’s the device you’re likely to have to charge more than once a day. Apple Watch and even AirPod batteries won’t need the frequent charging a phone does, so it’s important to know that the T3 Pro may not be a suitable replacement for a standard wired charger.

There are a few points to remember when considering the speed, though, as it shouldn’t be a complete turnoff. First off, it’s one cable running to one well-designed device. There’s no more jumbling of wires for your entire device ecosystem, and the unit itself isn’t bulky or awkward. Then, there’s the price.

At $39.99, the T3 Pro comes in rather low compared to other 3-in-1 chargers. In fact, unless you want to trust a no-name brand on Amazon, you’re likely spending up to $30 or $40 more for a comparable wireless charger.

It Can Get Hot, but Still Within Suggested Range

One thing that was initially a little unnerving was how hot the phone was getting while charging. I’ve used wireless chargers in the past, and all posed the same dilemma: Will it do any long-term damage to the battery? Something like the FlexiSpot Comhar Pro Standing Deskreally drove up the temperatures, seemingly more so than the T3

Pro.

The final temperature of the iPhone 16 Plus was well within Apple’s suggested storage temperature. According to Apple, any iOS device can be safely stored up to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. In the above photo, which was taken about two minutes after the phone was removed from the charger, the temperature reached 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whether that will be an issue longer-term is yet to be seen, especially since Apple suggests an ambient temperature of no more than 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

A Convenient Charger for Apple’s Ecosystem

For now, the InfinaCore T3 Pro has a rather glaring (but fixable) issue: compatibility. Built with the Qi2 charging standard, it’s not going to work with every device that’s compatible with wireless charging. That is, of course, unless that device is part of Apple’s ecosystem. As early as the iPhone 12, the full range of Apple Watches, and all AirPods from the second generation moving forward will work with the T3 Pro.

Sorry, Android owners. I’m not even sure those pseudo-MagSafe stick-on adapters you can get for Android devices will work. Even if they do, I’m not sure I’d be entirely comfortable testing it and risking the integrity of my battery. I know the magnetic GhostTek case for my Google Pixel 8 Pro wasn’t getting the job done. Sure, the InfinaCore’s magnet held strong, but the coils were misaligned and couldn’t steadily charge.

Should You Buy the InfinaCore T3 Pro 3-In-1 Charger?

The InfinaCore T3 Pro has a very clear advantage over the competition: It’s priced quite reasonably. Unless you opt for a no-name Amazon brand, you could easily spend $80 or more on a similar charger. So, it’s tough to scoff at $40, even if it offers a considerably slower charge than just using a basic USB-C cable.

As for its core function, the Qi2 protocol features a strong magnet that keeps compatible phones in place. Unfortunately, it does push aside entire ecosystems of Android devices that aren’t equipped for Qi2 charging yet. While that is going to change in the future, it’s disappointing that there’s not more support right out of the box. Then again, it’s not really InfinaCore’s fault for wanting to progress with charging technology.

From its simple, static design to its responsive charging pads, the T3 Pro may not be fast, but it’s a serviceable bedside charger.
