I\u2019m not a fan of tiny fans, and found the sound a bit annoying on the original Icemag, but perhaps it helps keep the compact electronics cool?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/chrome_QcjNHg1YBo.png?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Images: Sharge\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">This is technically the third version of the Icemag, but the first didn\u2019t have a stand at all and was limited to 7.5W wireless charging, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sharge.com\/products\/icemag-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the second<\/a> had a tiny folding stand and 15W wireless charging. Neither had a built-in cable, and both charged from the bottom. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Sharge has now moved its charge port to the side \u2014 combined with the big stand, it seems like you could also keep it propped up on your desk as a stationary wireless charger for your phone, and Sharge has a picture of it simultaneously using the built-in cable to charge some earbuds as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/712415\/qi2-25w-wireless-charging-major-android-smartphones-wpc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Not every Qi 2\/MagSafe phone supports the 25W charging speeds<\/a>, even within the same family of devices. For example, the Pixel 10 Pro XL does 25W wireless charging, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/762590\/google-pixel-10-pro-xl-fold-best-new-features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">but the 10 Pro Fold, 10 Pro, and 10 are limited to 15W<\/a>. Apple has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/776411\/apple-magsafe-charger-qi2-2-wireless-charging-25w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retroactively brought 25W charging<\/a> to more of the iPhone 16 lineup with iOS 26, though, and the charger is backwards compatible with slower wirelessly charging gadgets as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Sharge will launch the Icemag 3 on November 13th for around $70 <a href=\"https:\/\/sharge.com\/pages\/icemag-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at its website<\/a>; it should retail for $80 starting in December. In case you\u2019re curious, here\u2019s how well I liked its previous Braun-turntable-inspired battery:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-bluesky-social wp-block-embed-bluesky-social\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:tord34qlimhlwoycluitatyj\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3lwywuledis2p\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreielvposikwwsljvftrnl7ucq52afyxcz4kkznkepyldcq7toi3iuu\">\n<p lang=\"en\">It&rsquo;s a battery with 26-inch retractable USB-C cord.
