I bought this bizarre wireless charger for my Apple Watch, and it's already saved me multiple times
A palm-sized charger delivers six Apple Watch recharges and can power three devices simultaneously.
ZDNET's Adrian Kingsley-Hughes has highlighted the Iniu 5,000mAh power bank as a novel solution to a common mobile power gap: charging an Apple Watch away from home. Unlike standard power banks that require separate cables or pucks, this $22.48 device integrates a dedicated wireless charging pad directly onto its body, eliminating the need for extra accessories. Its compact, palm-sized design (3.2 x 1.5 x 1.1 inches, 4.1 ounces) includes a clip for attaching to bags, positioning it as a dedicated component of a tech-savvy professional's everyday carry (EDC) kit for reliable on-the-go power.
The technical specs make it a versatile tool. The 5,000mAh (18Wh) battery can deliver approximately six full recharges for an Apple Watch or a 50-90% top-up for a modern iPhone. It supports charging three devices at once via its integrated Apple Watch/AirPods wireless pad, a short 3.5-inch built-in USB-C cable, and a separate USB-C port, with a total maximum output of 15W. Features like 20W input charging and pass-through capability (charging the bank while it charges other devices) add to its utility, making it a compelling, all-in-one power management accessory for Apple ecosystem users who are frequently mobile.
