The San Francisco-based startup company 23 Devices is launching the “world’s first USB-C Hub with Qi wireless phone charging.” It’s appropriately called the Chocolate Hub 2 as you can see it looks like a bar of chocolate. The new hub is well suited for the iPhone 8/X and the latest MacBook Pros but will work with other USB-C laptops and most other Qi-enabled smartphones. The startup hopes to raise upwards of $20,000 on its campaign at Indiegogo where it just launched recently.
