Under $50 Scores
I’ve got plenty of great iPhone charging stands, but they all take up a decent amount of desk space, and they certainly aren’t the most portable accessories. That’s why I’ve loved using the Twelve South PowerBug, a tiny $50 gadget that turns any wall outlet into a MagSafe charging pad for your iPhone or Pixel 10. Even though I’ve tested and reviewed similar products, this one definitely deserves a spot in your work bag or carry-on.
The PowerBug makes it easy to maintain a clean, minimalist setup, whether you’re trying to cut down on wires in your home office or, if you’re like me, use it to turn your phone into your bedside alarm clock. Either way, it provides a convenient wireless charge alongside a USB-C port for even faster wired charging, all within a $50 package that’s small enough to fit in your pocket whether you’re headed to work or traveling abroad.

This convenient accessory turns any wall outlet into a 2-in-1 charging station. It’s compatible with most iPhones newer than the iPhone 12 and some Androids, namely the Google Pixel 10 line.
