Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Charging Station Ends the Cable Chase for Apple Gear

Travel often turns charging into a small production. You reach for the phone cable, then hunt down the watch puck, then dig out the earbud case adapter. Before long the bag holds more power gear than clothes. Anker built the MagGo 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station, priced at $67.49 (was $90), to cut that routine down to one compact piece that actually fits in the corner of a carry-on.

Official measurements show that when upright, it measures 3.46 × 3.46 × 4.92 inches and weighs just over 10 ounces. It’s a brilliant design that employs a short silicone hinge mechanism, allowing the entire device to fold out flat or at any angle you like, with no exposed wiring or loose parts to deal with. When you eventually put it down, four rubber feet will keep it steady on your nightstand or hotel desk.

When you open it, three special pads come to life, the largest of which uses some clever Qi2 magnetic alignment to send up to 15 watts to your most recent iPhone. Slap your phone on and it clicks into place; tilt the pad and the screen remains visible even while the phone is in Standby mode. Next to that is a 5-watt pad that is specifically designed to fit AirPods cases and includes wireless charging. Then there’s the third pad, which handles Apple Watches with Apple-certified quick charging at 5 watts. All three pads can function simultaneously, so you can charge your phone, watch, and earphones all at once without experiencing any slowdowns or priority issues.

All of the power comes from the 40-watt USB-C wall adapter and 5-foot cord, which are included when you open the package. That adapter provides enough electricity to keep everything charged, and even while charging three devices at once, it remains well within its capabilities. Testers have put this device through its paces, and even after three full charges, it keeps quite cool thanks to some clever ventilation slits integrated into the base. To top it all off, a little LED light will flicker on to indicate that everything is linked, but it will be faint enough not to disturb you at night.

It works with iPhone 12s and up, most Apple Watch models, including the Ultra models, AirPods Pro, and other devices that support wireless case charging. It’s worth noting that non-magnetic cases or metal attachments can interfere with the phone pad, but a regular silicone or slim case will work just well, and while it uses slightly more power in standby than some of those single-device chargers, the difference is negligible in normal use.
