Object of Desire: The Native Union (Re)Classic Power Bank

• Jonathan

I love accessories. Batteries, travel cases, AirTags, charging cables, iPhone stands, MagSafe wallets – you name it, I’ve owned or tried many versions of it. The number one determining factor for whether I keep a product or return it is always how well it does the job; however, almost equally important is how it looks.

I have spent countless hours in the past searching for one type of accessory or another, only to be constantly frustrated by products that are technically excellent but look unappealing or too “techy”. As an example, for years, I couldn’t find a bedside iPhone and Apple Watch charger that looked nice when my devices weren’t charging. Eventually, I discovered the Belkin BoostCharge Pro, which looks like a sculpture on its own, but I spent many years stuck with unattractive charging solutions.
