This 3-in-1 Anker Prime MagSafe Desk Charger lets you charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and two AirPods simultaneously. It will help clean up the cable mess by eliminating the need to run separate cords for each device. Your devices connect via a snap-on magnetic attachment with MagSafe technology and can be charged wirelessly at up to 25W using the newer Qi2 standard, which matches the speed of a wired connection.
The Anker Prime MagSafe 3-in-1 Charger is on sale at Amazon for $150, marked down from $230. You save $80 off the list, or about 35%.
A multitasking charger perfect for your multiple devices
The top-selling feature of this product is its 25W wireless charging capability. The iPhone 17 Pro can reach 50% charge in approximately 22 minutes, which is equivalent to the speed offered by Apple’s original MagSafe wireless charger and roughly double that of most other Qi2 wireless chargers. However, you’ll need an iPhone 16 or later to take advantage of the full 25W charging capabilities. Older MagSafe-equipped iPhones also work, but they charge more slowly than their newer counterparts.
A second section is designed to hold your Apple Watch at a 40-degree tilt. This provides enough tilt so that when you place it on your nightstand, your watch won’t be oriented upward toward the ceiling and can operate as a clock. Fast-charging also works on many newer Apple Watch models. Anker has included a complimentary adhesive-backed non-slip pad and six additional pads in the packaging since some watches, particularly the heaviest Ultra models, tend to slide off soft-plastic charging docks.
The third spot is a flat pad for AirPods or AirPods Pro. The module is MFi certified by Apple and outputs up to 5W. Drop the case on the pad, and it charges, no cable needed.
Active cooling is what separates this from cheaper 3-in-1 chargers. Wireless charging generates a lot of heat, and most phones throttle the charging speed once the battery gets warm enough. The Prime uses a thermoelectric cooler and a fan to pull heat away from the phone and charging coil, keeping the iPhone running at full 25W speed throughout the charging cycle instead of slowing down halfway.
A smart display on the front shows power output, charging temperature, and battery percentage for all three devices in real time. The Anker app connects over Bluetooth or NFC to adjust settings, schedule sleep modes, and change the screensaver. An 80-degree adjustable stand lets you tilt the iPhone to a reading angle for watching video or joining a video call hands-free.
Anker throws in a 65-watt foldable wall adapter and a 5-foot USB-C to USB-C cable in the box, which matters because you need an adapter rated for 45W or higher to actually hit 25W MagSafe speed. Cheaper bricks will drop the charger into a slower mode. Saving $80 on a charger that comes with everything you need to run it at full speed is about as close to a no-brainer as charging accessories get.
