If you're like me and need to have all the latest Apple equipment, then your nightstand or desk could be a bit of a nightmare. With the best iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and AirPods that need to be replenished on a regular basis, you need a charging station like the Any Warphone 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand, which is on sale at a price excellent on this first day. For only $ 31, you can keep everything with one cable. Your wallet - and your nightstand, they will thank you.

Any Warphone's 3-in-1 wireless charging cradle provides fast charging at 15 watts for flagship Android phones and up to 7.5 watts for the latest iPhones, such as the iPhone 12.

While the iPhone and Apple Watch take advantage of inductive charging, Any Warphone support offers a lightning connector for AirPods. Because the base AirPods model does not include a wireless charging case, the inclusion of the lightning connector makes the Any Warphone stand truly universal. Any Warphone holder even comes with a USB power adapter in the box, so you won't need to take it out of your pocket for another accessory.

One of the best features of the stand is that, unlike some of the best stands for charging both the iPhone and the Apple Watch, which illuminates your bedroom at night, the Any Warphone stand puts you in complete control. With just a touch of the touch pad in front of the AirPods charger, you can turn off the lights by ending the bright LEDs.

At just $ 31, the 3-in-1 Any Warphone charger is one of the best deals for iPhone Prime Day accessories, Apple Watch and surrounding AirPods. Looking for more ways to disconnect your home less? Prime Day has a summary of everything - chargers, cables and more for all your Apple devices.

One of the smartest and most convenient updates you can make at home is to replace that old non-programmable thermostat with one of the best HomeKit thermostats. Already one of the cheapest HomeKit thermostats available, ecobee Lite SmartThermostat is even more affordable today thanks to a Prime Day offer that reduces by 15% the retail price. Now, for just $ 144, you can save upfront and even more in the long run, with potential savings on your home's energy bill.

Ecobee Lite also works with remote RoomSensors, signed by ecobee, although one is not included in the box. With remote sensors - one of our choices for the best HomeKit temperature sensors, you can adapt the climate of your home based on the most critical rooms, such as bedrooms, instead of the hallway.

The cheaper ecobee thermostat also doesn't have on-board microphones that allow Alexa hands-free directly on the device, like its more expensive brother. However, you can still use existing green appliances or the Mini HomePod to heat your home on demand. In addition, if you are concerned about having a microphone always on in your home, the lack of Alexa on board in ecobee Lite can be a positive thing.

With the savings you get with the Ecobee Lite SmartThermostat, you may be able to expand your smart home even further with the best Prime Day Apple TV deals, which include all the best-selling HomeKit smart home accessories.
