Have you ever placed your iPhone on a wireless charger before bed, only to wake up and find it never actually charged because it wasn't lined up properly?

And for overnight charging, or any time you don’t need the absolute fastest charge, it’s a nice option to have. If you already have an 18W USB-A charger, the Anker PowerWave Base Stand can save you some money. It comes with a 4-foot Micro USB cable but no wall adapter.
