If you own an iPhone, an Apple Watch and AirPods, you probably have three chargers tangled on your nightstand. The Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Station replaces all of them with one small foldable cube that charges your iPhone magnetically at up to 15W, your Apple Watch and your AirPods at the same time.

Unlike many cheaper stands, it ships with a 40W USB-C wall charger and cable in the box, so it is ready to go. Here is what you need to know.

Note: this review is based on Anker’s official product information, the Amazon listing and published independent reviews. We have not run our own lab measurements.

Quick Verdict

Best for: iPhone 12 or newer users with an Apple Watch and AirPods who want a compact, travel-friendly charger for the bedside or desk.

Skip it if: you have an Android phone, you want the newest 25W Qi2.2 speeds, or you don’t use an Apple Watch (a simpler 2-in-1 charger costs less).

Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Charging Station Specifications

Design: A Cube That Unfolds

Folded, the station is a small cube about 2.4 inches wide, small enough to drop in a backpack or carry-on. Unfold it and you get a magnetic iPhone pad on top, an Apple Watch charger and a pad for your AirPods case. It is a tidy solution for a nightstand, a desk or a hotel room.

The iPhone pad supports StandBy mode, so you can turn your phone sideways and use it as a bedside clock, photo frame or smart display while it charges.

Qi2 Magnetic Charging for iPhone

Qi2 is the open wireless standard built on Apple’s MagSafe technology. Your iPhone snaps into perfect alignment and charges at up to 15W, about twice as fast as older 7.5W Qi chargers. It works with MagSafe cases and most thin non-magnetic cases up to 2.5 mm thick.

Note that the newest iPhones support faster 25W charging with Qi2.2 and Apple’s latest MagSafe chargers. If top wireless speed matters most, look for a Qi2.2 model; for overnight and desk charging, 15W is more than enough.

Apple Watch and AirPods

The built-in Apple Watch charger is certified for Apple Watch and delivers up to 5W, so you don’t need to carry your original puck. The AirPods area charges any AirPods or other earbuds with a wireless charging case.

Charger Included

Many charging stations make you buy a powerful adapter separately, and they slow down or misbehave with a weak one. Anker includes a 40W USB-C PD wall charger and a USB-C cable, which is enough to power all three devices at full speed. That makes the real cost lower than it first appears.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Charges iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods at once
• 15W Qi2 magnetic charging
• Compact foldable cube, great for travel
• 40W wall charger and cable included
• StandBy mode support

Cons

• Not the newest 25W Qi2.2 speed
• Built for the Apple ecosystem
• Thick or non-magnetic cases over 2.5 mm reduce performance

Final Verdict

The Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Station is a simple, compact way to charge your whole Apple setup from one plug. It folds into a tiny cube for travel, charges an iPhone at 15W, supports StandBy mode and includes the 40W charger you need. It is not the fastest option for the latest iPhones, but for overnight and desk charging it is an easy recommendation, and a great gift for any Apple fan.
