Are there any reliable alternative to the USB Lightning Docking Station for iPhone?

So a few years i got the Lightning Docking Station for my former Lightning Phones but now i got the Iphone 15 pro max and i cant seem to find the same station in usb c or just rip offs that i don't trust in. i went to apple and got told its existing but inly for the technicians ????

so has anyone either seen it that i can buy it or good minimalistic alternatives?

because i don't really want the clunky qi charging things that are big or the ones my phone lays on because i want the standing thing ..

Apple never made one of those of USB-C for sale to the public.

There are some similar ones available through places like Amazon, but nothing from a known brand that can be recommended.

Maybe a Lightning to USB-C adapter so you can keep using that one may be a better choice.

I really love this Belkin MagSafe charger:

Belkin MagSafe Charger

It's very simple and not incredibly expensive.

But there are a huge number of MagSafe chargers out there from reliable companies like Belkin and Anker. Some of them can also charge an Apple Watch and/or AirPods. They have the advantage over older docks like the one you showed in that nothing plugs into them meaning that much less wear on one of the weaker parts of the phone.
