The best Apple 3-in-1 charging stations (2026), tested and reviewed

Other 3-in-1 chargers to consider

We’ve tested several other Apple 3-in-1 charging stations. Here are some things we liked:

Anker Prime 3-in-1 Charging Station is $230: Sporting a tree-like design like our pick from Belkin, the latest Qi2 25W charging, Apple Watch fast charging, active cooling, and an interactive display, this is perhaps the most feature-packed 3-in-1 charger on the market. You can connect via Bluetooth and configure in the app to set watch wallpapers, schedule Night Mode to dim the screen and turn off cooling, and track your charging stats in a schedule. I’m not sure it’s worth the premium. The microtouchscreen is flat, so you have to sit down to see it, and it feels a bit cheap to me. It also seems unnecessary when your iPhone already offers standby mode.

Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe for $100: Twelve South’s 3-in-1 is a sleek wireless charger for the tabletop and gives the iPhone plenty of breathing room to rotate it into landscape mode and take advantage of standby mode. I like that the iPhone charger can rotate up and down. At the base is an Apple Watch fast charger that you can flip over, and the back has room for AirPods or another wireless earphone case. It’s nice and heavy and doesn’t slide easily. It comes with a proprietary, removable charging cable, as well as a charging unit and international plug adapters for US, UK, EU and AU.

Journey Glyde 4-in-1 portable charger for $170: Reviews Editor Adrienne almost voted this multi-device MagSafe power bank up for a separate recommendation until she noticed the price. It is a 10,000 mAh power bank that can charge up to four devices simultaneously and uses the Qi2 charging standard. However, our pick for this place is much cheaper, and the Glyde doesn’t have a kickstand.

Zense Desk Charger Pro 3

Zens Office Charger Pro 3 for $100: I’m a fan of some of the interesting, off-the-shelf designs Zens offers, but this 3-in-1, while well made and working perfectly, doesn’t really stand out. It’s Qi2 certified (15W for iPhone, 5W for Apple Watch, 5W for AirPods), looks nice, and comes with a cable and charger, though it has a cylindrical port.

Lululook 3-in-1 charging station for $70: This is a fully qualified 3-in-1 device with Qi2 certification (15W for iPhone, 5W for Apple Watch, 5W for AirPods). It’s small, you can adjust the angle of the iPhone panel, and I like the gold color of my review unit, but I prefer the Twelve South above, or the ESR if you don’t want to spend a lot.

Scosche Baselynx 2.0 modular charging station for $70: What if three points are not enough? Scosche has you covered with this modular charging station. The basic stand is a 2-in-1 for iPhone and AirPods, but you can add an Apple Watch charger ($70), a vertical toast stand-shaped station with USB-C ports ($60), or even an AC outlet with a USB-C port ($35). The problem is that it gets very big and expensive when you add modules, and I don’t like the way it looks, but it’s a great idea.

The Belkin BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 MagSafe-compatible wireless charging pad is $80: Qi2 support provides magnetic alignment for your iPhone and delivers 15W of charging, and there’s room for AirPods on this compact dual pad. The USB-C port allows you to charge something else, like an Apple Watch, and you get a 5-foot USB-C cable and a 30-watt power supply in the box. There’s also a 3-in-1 pad ($110) that adds an Apple Watch charger on the right side.

Nomad Base One Max for $150: This was our choice of 3-in-1 pads, but stock is running low, and it is being discontinued. The MagSafe charger keeps your iPhone out of sight and supports 15W charging, and the Apple Watch charging pad stays ready for Nightstand mode, but it’s not a fast charger. I tried it with a loop band and a regular strap, and was able to place the AirPods Pro case in place behind the Apple Watch dial to recharge it well. The metal chassis is heavy, and combined with the anti-slip rubber base, this thing stays in place. It comes with a 2m USB-C to USB-C cable, which is great if you want to connect it to your new iPhone 16 for faster power up, but I wish it came with a 30W charging adapter. Nomad sells this product, which we’ve tested and like.

QDOS SnapStand 3-in-1 for £80: This smart design feels sturdy and comes flat, and you can fold and angle the magnetic pad to charge your iPhone (standby mode works well). There’s a pop-up Apple Watch charger around the back, and the base has a pad for your AirPods. You’ll get a black USB-C cable, but you’ll need a charger (at least 25W). I like that it’s partly made from recycled materials, and folds up very neatly, but the charging speeds are relatively slow (7.5W for the iPhone and 2.5W for the Apple Watch).

Belkin BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad with MagSafe for $120: This was our old 2-in-1 pick for iPhone and Apple Watch. I like the smooth finish, the pad on top can move at a 70 degree angle, and the Apple Watch rack works with any band. A USB-C cable is permanently attached, but you do get a 30W wall charger in the box. I don’t remember having problems when I first tested, but using it again, I found that the weight of the camera end of my iPhone 14 Pro caused it to droop slowly when in standby mode. It’s also kind of expensive.

Anker 737 MagGo charger, $100: The MagSafe 3-in-1 is durable and holds my iPhone 14 Pro securely. Landscape mode support makes it a great way to take advantage of standby mode to turn your iPhone into a bedside clock, but it prevents easy access to the Apple Watch. It can be quickly charged at 15W and comes with a power adapter and cable. It can be difficult to get your AirPods out of there, especially if you have a protective case installed on your AirPods. I just push my finger from the other direction and push it out. Another minor disappointment is that the Apple Watch charger doesn’t support fast charging. Anker is also phasing out this product.

Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station Stand, $111More affordable than our top pick, this good-looking 3-in-1 charging tree is Qi2 certified for 15W charging, and comes with a charger and cable. It’s missing a spot at the top due to the Apple Watch’s offset panel. It’s slippery, so your Apple Watch may tip, though I’ve never had a problem with it not charging. Anker has included stickers to combat this, but it’s a trivial and inelegant solution. It’s also unfortunate that the main plate of your iPhone is fixed, so you can’t adjust the angle. But these are minor complaints.

Anker 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe for $150: This sleek, dense 2.5-inch cube from Anker was our previous compact pick. It has a MagSafe pad on top (15W), and the top hinges at a 60-degree angle, revealing a charging surface for your AirPods. A pop-up shelf on the side houses a built-in Apple Watch fast charger. You get a 5-foot cable and a 30W charger in the box.

Satechi 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand for $130: This compact and attractive 3-in-1 is slightly smaller than the Belkin, so it doesn’t take up a lot of space, and folds down compactly for travel. The aluminum body is attractive and sturdy (iPhone holder is made of stainless steel). This sits on Reviews Editor Adrienne So’s bedside table, and it recharges the Apple Watch Ultra 2 from 70 percent to full power in about 30 minutes.

Case-Mate Fuel 3-in-1 Foldable, $150: Finished in a sleek gray material, this 3-in-1 device charges an iPhone in a case or any Qi-enabled smartphone, and is easy to fold flat and slip into a bag. It also has a built-in Apple Watch charger and a place for AirPods. Includes 45W cable and charger. I also tested the solid Case-Mate Fuel 4-in-1 ($150), which is very good, but the LED lights and unnecessary Fuel logo turned me off.

iOttie Velox Duo for $60: This has been our 2-in-1 choice for a while. The black and gold combination looks great, the magnets are strong, and there is a weighted base. On the downside, it only charges iPhones at up to 7.5 watts. The permanently attached USB-C cable is a good length, but you’ll have to provide a wall adapter.

Avoid these chargers

Not every shipper will be a winner. Here are the ones we didn’t like.

Invincore T3 Pro: The T3 Pro is a 3-in-1 stand that feels very cheap, and it gets warm when charging my iPhone. The saving grace is that they are cheap. It is also Qi2 certified and works in standby mode. I also tried the tri-folding pillow Infinacore T3 wireless charging station. Aside from the ugly plastic design, weak magnets mean it doesn’t work well when folded into a triangular configuration (this also obscures the pad).

Groov-e Asteria Wireless Charging Station with Alarm: There’s a Watch Prime on the front of this charging station, which can hold an iPhone and AirPods on a pad in the back and an Apple Watch on top. It feels too cheap, it slides out too easily, the magnets are weak, and the watch feels redundant when you can set your iPhone in standby mode. I also tried the Triton 3-in-1 Foldable Pillow, and it worked just fine Okay. It is very affordable, but you will have to provide your own power adapter.

Z557C 3 in 1 Holder: This 3-in-1 charger works perfectly fine, but there are many better options above. The iPhone panel allows standby mode but is not adjustable. The Apple Watch panel can be flipped up or laid flat, and there’s room for AirPods on the gray panel. It has a barrel port, so you have to use the included power adapter. What I really don’t like about this charger is the absolutely meaningless bright white LED on the front that stays on all the time.

The ultimate boolean array: This 3-in-1 charger has a foldable design, supports fast charging, includes a detachable 5000mAh power bank, and comes with a nice case, but it is rather bulky, and the white color picks up dust and smudges very easily. I’ve also had issues with other Alogic batteries failing and not delivering the advertised capacity.

STM cargo tree: This charging tree station folds flat and can charge three Apple gadgets. But there’s no support for fast charging, the Apple Watch kept slipping out of place overnight, and there’s no built-in adapter. It’s not cheap either.
