Today Logitech announced their new POWERED family of wireless chargers, the largest of which can apparently do what Apple couldn't get their canceled AirPower charger to do: Charge three devices at once (an iPhone, AirPods and an Apple Watch) without overheating.
While it can be said that form follows function here, I put these in the category of objects that will puzzle archaeologists when they dig these up in a thousand years:
The objects make more sense when populated with their charges, so to speak:
Logitech says they'll safely charge both Apple and Samsung devices at 7.5W and 9W, respectively.
The 3-in-1 unit runs $130, the stand-up phone charger is $60 and the flat pad is $40. However, would-be buyers should note that these are meant to plug into your wall, not your Macbook; the connectors are proprietary, not USB-C nor Micro USB.
Check 'em out here.

This is not the same as what apple was trying to do. They never had an issue with charging 3 devices at once but being able to place them anywhere on the pad. There are devices out there that can charge all 3 at once if you place them in the appropriate place. You might want to correct that in the article.
