Best 3-in-1 Apple Charging Station (2025), tested and reviewed

Other 3-in-1 chargers to consider

We have tested several other 3-in-1 Apple charging stations. Here are some of our favorites:

UAG 3-in-1 Travel & Desktop Charger for $170: This is close to earning advice until I calculate the price. This is a very clever 3-in-1 charging kit that folds flat and comes with a USB-C cable with 4-foot braided and 25-watt power adapter including plugs from the US, UK and Europe. You can support your iPhone at different angles on the MagSafe stand and it works with the backup mode and nightstand mode of the Apple Watch, but it doesn’t get QI2 certification, so you won’t get 15-watt charging for your iPhone. Ultimately, this is too expensive.

Aukey Magfusion Z QI2 3-inch foldable charging station for $80: This clever 3-in-1 charging station folds very neatly and feels durable, but travels a little heavy. I found that my Apple Watch tends to list one side on the charger and I can’t use nightstand mode unless I fold it over the main charger, which is where the iPhone needs to sit in the landscape orientation in alternate standby mode.

Glouyde Glyde 4-in-1 portable charger for $170: Likewise, comment editor Adrienne therefore almost voted for this multiple notes Magsafe Power Bank to get separate suggestions until she calculates the price. This is a 10,000-MAH capacity power pack that can charge up to four devices at a time and uses the QI2 charging standard. However, our choice of this location is much cheaper, and the Glyde doesn’t have a stand either.

Woodie Milano Foldie costs $132: Combining Nappa leather with aluminum and glass, this 3-in-1 charger is neatly folded and looks stylish. There is a round Magsafe iPhone charging pad (15 watts), a central pad for AirPods, you can charge the Apple Watch Flat or pop the charger out of the nightstand mode. You can also fold it into a wedge to charge your iPhone in alternate mode and charge your iPhone on the Apple Watch on the back. You can get a USB-C cable in the box, but you need your own wall charger.

Scosche Baseensynx 2.0 modular charging station priced at $100: What if three spots are not enough? Scosche lets you cover this modular charging station. The base stand is a 2-in-1 for your iPhone and AirPods, but you can add an Apple Watch Charger ($70), a Toast rack-mounted vertical station with a USB-C port ($80), and even an AC outlet with a USB-C port ($50). The trouble is that when you add modules it gets big and expensive, I don’t like the look of it, but it’s a neat idea.

Belkin Boostcharge Pro 2-in-1 MagSafe Compatible Wireless Charging Pad for $80: Support for QI2 provides magnetic alignment for your iPhone and charges 15 watts, and there is a position of airpods on this compact dual pad. The USB-C port allows you to charge something else, like the Apple Watch, and you get a 5-foot USB-C cable and 30 W of power in the box. There is also a 3-in-1 pad ($110) with an Apple Watch charger added to the right.

QDOS Snapstand 3-in-1 priced at £80: This clever design feels solid and becomes flat, you can fold out and tilt the magnetic pad to charge your iPhone (also normal on standby mode). There is a pop-up Apple Watch charger around the back, and the base provides a mat for your AirPods. You will get a black USB-C cable, but you will need a charger (at least 25W). I like that it is partially made of recycled materials and folds very neatly, but it charges relatively slowly (7.5 watts for iPhone, 2.5 watts for Apple Watch).

Kuxiu foldable magnetic wireless charging station for $76: With a very similar design to the QDOS above, but with a more functional and squared appearance, this folding charger also has a magnetic pad for iPhone (standby mode), with a folding Apple Watch Charger in the middle, and a pad on the base of the AirPods. It comes with a USB-C cable and a 20-watt wall charger. The X40Q linked here is QI2 certified, but the X40Q with the same appearance is not.

Belkin Boostcharge Pro 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pier and Magsafe for $80: This is our old 2-in-2 for iPhone and Apple Watch. I like the soft touch surface, the top mat can pass through 70 degrees, and the Apple Watch’s shelf works with any belt. The braided USB-C cable is permanently connected, but the box has a 30-watt wall charger. I don’t remember having a problem with the first test, but using it again, I found that the weight on the end of the iPhone 14 Pro causes slowly sagging in standby mode. This is also very expensive.

Anker 737 Maggo Charger for $90: This MagSafe 3-in-1 is sturdy and securely secures my iPhone 14 Pro. Support for the landscape makes it a great way to use standby mode to turn your iPhone into a bedside clock, but it does prevent access to the Apple Watch. It can charge quickly at 15 watts and comes with a power adapter and cable. It can be difficult to grab AirPods from there, especially if you have AirPods protection cases installed. I just pushed my finger away from the other direction and pushed it away. Another slight disappointment is that the Apple Watch charger does not support fast charging.

Twelve South Butterfly 2-inch Type 1 Magazine Chargers for $100: This is an Uber compact 2-in-1 charger that looks like a hockey. Open the butterfly and you will find two mats connected by rubber silicon material. You can quickly charge an Apple watch – even pop the charger to take advantage of the nightstand mode – while another circle allows you to charge your MagSafe iPhone at 15 watts. It’s an ultra-compact solution, while the twelve in the south include a 30-watt charger and cables with international plug adapters.

Local union sails 2-in-1 MagSafe charger for $100: For cheap prices, review editor Adrienne also likes the local alliance’s QI2 butterfly solution, which doesn’t come with a plug adapter, comes with a neat travel bag and has cables.

Anker Maggo wireless charging station, priced at $75: This beautiful 3-in-1 charging tree is more affordable than our top choice, with a QI2 certification on 15-watt charging and comes with a charger and cable. It just missed the above place thanks to the offset pad of the Apple Watch. It’s slippery, so your Apple Watch may tilt, although I never charge. Anker includes stickers to fight this, but they are a thoughtful yet low-key solution. It is a pity that the iPhone’s main pad can be fixed, so you can’t adjust the angle. But these are small grips.

Magsafe’s Mophie 3-in-1 travel charger for $90: This small travel kit comes with felt-carrying boxes, charges brick and USB-C cables, and is our previous top travel choice. The square stack unfolds, revealing three wireless chargers in a slender mat. The iPhone is magnetically attached to the center (15 watts), and the Apple Watch dock supports nightstand mode (the 2023 model also supports fast charging). AirPods have a groove. It feels great, compact and very light around.

ESR Halolock 3 in-1 Travel Wireless Charging Package for $44: This is a good travel kit at a reasonable price. You can support your iPhone in portrait or landscape orientation, display the Apple Watch in nightstand mode (if you rotate backwards), and there is a mat for Airpods. It folds with the included cables and wall charger in the faux leather bag. Sadly, it will only charge at 7.5 watts.

ANKER 3 in 1 cube with Magsafe for $130: Our previous compact picks this blurring strip, dense, 2.5-inch cube. It has a magsafe pad (15 watts) on top and the hinge on the top is at a 60-degree angle, showing the charging surface of the AirPods. The Wee pop-up rack on the side has a built-in Apple Watch fast charger. The box contains a 5-foot cable and a 30-watt charger.

SATECHI 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand Prices for $100: This compact, attractive 3-in-1 is a little smaller than the Belkin, so it doesn’t take up much space and can be folded compactly for travel. Made in aluminum is attractive and sturdy (the iPhone mount is made of stainless steel). Here is the nightstand for review editor Adrienne So, which takes her Apple Watch Ultra 2 from 70% to full in about 30 minutes.

Case Companion Fuel 3-in-1 Fold Price is $81: Finished with elegant grey material, this 3-in-1 is charged in a box or any Qi smartphone and it is easy to fold the tablet and pack it in a bag. It also has a built-in Apple Watch charger and AirPods location. Includes cable and 45 watt charger. I also tested the Solid Case Fuel 4 in 1 ($150), which is pretty good, but the unnecessary LED and fuel logo disappointed me.

Iottie Velox Duo, priced at $46: This is our 2-inch draft pick for a while. The black and gold combination looks great, the magnets are strong, and have a weighted base. On the downside, it can only charge iPhones, up to 7.5 watts. The permanently connected USB-C cable is good in length, but you have to provide a wall adapter.

Avoid using these chargers

Infinacore T3 Pro Black Angle Charging Stand

Not every charger will be a winner. This is something we don’t like.

Infinacore T3 Pro: The T3 Pro is a 3-in-1 stand that looks and feels cheap and gets warmer while charging your iPhone. Its saving grace is that it is cheap. It also has QI2 certification and uses standby mode. I also tried folding triple pad Infinacore T3 wireless charging station. Apart from the ugly plastic design, weak magnets also mean that they don’t work well when folding it into a triangular configuration (which also prevents the mat).

Groov-E Asteria wireless charging station with alarm clock: The front of this charging station has an hour-clock that can accommodate iPhones, earpods on the mat at the back, and Apple Watch at the top. It feels and looks cheap, it’s easy to bypass the slide, the magnet is weak, and the clock seems redundant when you can set your iPhone to alternate mode. I also tried the Triton 3-in-1 folding pad (£20) and this is OK. They are very affordable, but you have to provide your own power adapter.

Zike 3-in-1 Z557C Stand: This 3-in-1 charger is very effective, but there are a few better options on it. The iPhone pad allows standby mode, but is not adjustable. The Apple Watch Pad will flip or can be placed flat and has an airpods position on the gray felt pad. It has a barrel port, so you have to use the power adapter provided, but what I really don’t like about this charger is the ridiculously bright, totally pointless white LEDs throughout the process.

Alogic Matrix Ultimate: This 3-in-1 charger has a folding design that supports fast charging, includes a removable 5,000-MAH power library and comes with a nice bag, but it’s a bit bulky and the white finish is prone to dust and stains. I also had problems with other IV batteries but could not provide the ability to state.

STM Product Chargetree Go: This charging tree station folds up and can charge three Apple gadgets. But without fast support, my Apple Watch kept slipping out of position at night and didn’t include an adapter. Not cheap either.
