WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED
ChargerLAB found separated power-conversion and wireless sections, thermal potting and an aluminum case—not merely a logo upgrade. Its test measured about 25W effective wireless output on an iPhone 16 Pro Max; the cost is defensible for an iPhone owner who already has a suitable USB-C PD adapter.
MATERIALS
Puck enclosureAluminum alloy
Conducts heat away from the charging electronics.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS
An exceptionally small, clean puck with excellent magnetic placement. It travels well but is not a stand and the captive cable is not repairable.
LONGEVITY
Good internal construction and braided cable; the non-replaceable cable remains the primary wear risk.
