My on-the-go 3-in-1 MagSafe charger (iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods) died and Amazon is no longer selling it. Any recommendations for a replacement?
It should be portable (carrying it in a backpack to multiple locations) and affordable.
(Note: I’m looking for a device that charges via USB; not a battery pack)
I’ve been using this Iniu model for the last 18 months when I travel.
It comes with a charger and USB C cable and I’ve had no problems with it for my occasional travels.
I got these two. One budget, one fancy one. Both work equally good!
There is another ESR one for ~$70-80, buts it’s build is plastic and I don’t like. Belkin $100 is decent.
I’ve been happy with ESR products. My wife bought this for an upcoming trip: ESR 3-in-1 Travel Charging Station (HaloLock), Wireless Charger Designed for MagSafe, Made for Apple Watch Certified, iPhone 16/15/14/13/12, AirPods 4/3/Airpods Pro, Adjustable 2-Way Stand, Black : Amazon.com.au: Electronics
I have this one, and it is excellent. I use it on my nightstand at home and take it with me when I travel. I favor this charger in particular because it allows me to place the phone horizontally, which activates StandBy mode. I keep the analog clock and temperature widgets showing.
Thank you all for the recommendations!
You made me realize that I have three more “nice to have” requirements:
@Darkwing I couldn’t open that Amazon Asia link somehow. Is it this one?
If so, does it charge an iPhone with 7.5W or 15W?
(Couldn’t find that on the Amazon page here in Europe)
EDIT: Looks like 15W?
That looks like the one. The product specs say it’s 18watts. I suspect this particular version is 7.5w for the phone but I may be wrong. They do sell a version that offers Qi2.2 25w as per their article here: Transparent Qi2.2 Charger Review: Fast 25W 3‑in‑1 Qi2.2 Wireless Charg
This is what I use. I’ve had it for a couple of years I think. I know the owner of this web site/podcast also owns one, and her friend who wrote the review and, I think, one or two other listeners, readers, too.
I’m looking at the Anker Prime 25W 3-in-1 . From reviews, it seems to good at fast charging multiple devices . The cons seem to be noises from the airpods and apple watch chargers.
The fan is a nice touch to keep it cool when it’s going full tilt. Also the ability to fold away for storage.
I wonder if there is a similar fast charger without the noise, though.
Are you sure you need a separate travel charger? When I travel I just bring my laptop and plug USB C charging cables into my laptop. So MagSafe charges the laptop while the laptop charges my phone, watch, and AirPods. Makes for a lighter bag and one less thing to lug around.
Do the Anker ones have an included battery?
Not this model, no. It is a charger only.
