"The $10 VASTMARKE wireless charger is reminiscent of a bagel or donut, if you could take the top half of those ring-shaped foods and turn them inside out to create a cozy grip for your fingers. That same red silicone design also makes for a perfect place to store the charger's built-in USB-C cable, according to IKEA's product page, and otherwise acts as a playful replacement for what can be a pretty boring smartphone accessory."
"VASTMARKE offers Qi2 charging speeds and can magnetically attach to iPhones with MagSafe or Pixel phones with Google's Pixelsnap magnets. If you're interested in something a bit more discrete, the $25 VASTMARKE wireless charger with lighting is a bowl-shaped charger with a column in the center for attaching a smartphone, and room around it for keys or your wallet."
"IKEA has had multiple different ideas over the years for how smart home tech should integrate with its minimalist and user-friendly furniture. The company's partnership with Sonos ended in May 2025, which produced lights and picture frames with smart speakers built-in. Since then, the company has announced a new Bluetooth speaker and started rolling out a new collection of Matter-connected remotes, lights and sensors."
IKEA launched a new line of Qi wireless chargers highlighted by the $10 VASTMARKE, which merges a PopSockets-style finger grip with integrated cable storage. The red silicone ring folds to create a cozy grip while hiding the built-in USB-C cable. VASTMARKE supports Qi2 speeds and magnetically attaches to iPhones via MagSafe and to Pixel phones via Google's Pixelsnap. A $25 variant features lighting, a bowl-shaped design, a central column for phone attachment, and peripheral storage for keys or a wallet. IKEA continues expanding smart home offerings alongside Matter-connected remotes, lights, sensors, and a new Bluetooth speaker.
