After making the rounds at FCC (Federal
Communications Commission) a little while ago, the new Apple Watch Magnetic
Charging Dock has quietly popped up on the Apple Store. The Apple wireless
charging pad is available for $79 and supports the following wearables: Apple
Watch Series 4, Series 3, Series 2 and Series 1.
It's unclear what improvements Apple has done to the
new wireless charging pad over the original one, but there must be some
under-the-hood enhancements that would justify its market release. The Apple
Watch Magnetic Charging Dock uses the same inductive charging connector that
comes with Apple Watch.
Also, it connects via the Lightning to USB Cable and
Apple 5W USB Power Adapter. Due to the charging dock's form factor, your Apple
Watch will charge in a flat position with its band open, on its side. It's worth noting that the new
Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock replaces the original model, which seems to
have been discontinued.
