iMate is an all-in-one charging solution for your Apple kit

Cheers, Mate

You’ve got a backpack full to the brim with Apple kit, and while the mere sight of it would have Jony Ive doing cartwheels down the street, you’re faced with a – in the grand scheme of things totally insignificant but nevertheless quite annoying – problem: charging them all at once is socket-devouring carnage. Not with iMate it’s not. Before you ask, no, Apple hasn’t just launched its first robotic drinking buddy. iMate is in fact a third-party charging and syncing station that’ll simultaneously welcome your iPad, iPhone, Macbook, Apple Watch, and a host of other gadgets. You can plug in six devices at once, with two USB (2.0 and 3.0) ports, two USB-C Power Delivery (PD) ports, an HDMI port and a certified Apple Watch charger up for grabs, as well as an SD card reader. It’s an impressively small device, too, making it a great travel companion. Pre-order now for $99.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.

Areas of expertise

Video games, VR, smartwatches, headphones, smart speakers, bizarre Kickstarter campaigns
