Smartphone accessories can sometimes be just as interesting as the phones they're designed to serve. The newly launched OnePlus 13 is a good example of this, for as good as the phone is (and it's really very good), the new AIRVOOC 50W Magnetic Charger launching alongside it could have an impact on phones beyond the brand it's designed for.
This new AIRVOOC charger is a new wireless charging puck, replacing the charging stand that OnePlus introduced with the OnePlus 8 Pro in 2020 that was recently discontinued. Taking the form of a round pad rather than a rectangular stand, the new charger's two main changes are its magnetic attachment method, and its larger, more prominent cooling system. The magnets mean it's super simple to attach to compatible phones, including iPhones with MagSafe, while the fan, vents and fins transfer the heat from the magnetic induction process away from the phone to keep the charging process stable and as fast as possible.
