A new photo (below) purported to show the packaging for Apple’s first Apple Watch charging dock have surfaced, indicating that the company may be preparing to launch that product.

The photo shows two of the watch dock boxes side-by-side, comparing the front and back of the package. The dock appears to be circular with a round cutout in the middle for the magnetic charging cable to show through, giving it a look not unlike a CD from the top.

On the back of the packaging is a set of illustrations showing how to use the dock. The first image shows a watch laid across the dock with the magnetic charging connector on the back on the circular cutout.

The second image is a bit less clear, but seems to show the watch on its side in “nightstand mode,” though how the watch manages to charge in this position is unclear. One possible solution is that the charging connector on the dock can be flipped up to a vertical position.

When Apple might release the magnetic charging dock is currently unknown. According to a sticker on the box, and assuming these images are real, it will retail for $89.99.
