Wireless charging of Apple devices has long been dominated by the brand’s official MagSafe accessories. But with the arrival of Qi2 certification, third-party manufacturers can finally offer equally efficient solutions. It is in this context that Anker unveiled its MagGo 3-in-1 charging station a few weeks ago, a particularly attractive accessory which promises to simultaneously charge iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods in an extremely compact format.
A compact and intelligent design
The first advantage of this MagGo station lies in its ultra-compact design. When folded, it takes up almost as much space as a box of AirPods Pro, making it an ideal travel companion. The finish is neat with a pleasant texture to the touch and a silicone strap which ensures durability and stability. With a weight of around 100 grams, the charger can be forgotten in a backpack or pocket.
In the box we find a 40W power adapter using GaN technology, a 1.5 meter USB-C cable and of course Anker’s signature 24-month warranty. The power supply is particularly compact and efficient, perfectly managing heat dissipation even under intensive load. Several adapters are provided for European, American and English sockets to take the charger everywhere and never be stuck abroad.
In terms of design, the accessory seems solid despite the use of plastic and rubber-type gum. Lightness does not come at the expense of strength and the charger will not deteriorate with normal use. On the other hand, it is possible to fold the station like an origami to make a sort of support for watching a video for example. Do not count on this possibility as the iPhone is unstable and avoid as much as possible doing it in a moving environment such as a train or a plane at the risk of dropping your iPhone. Damage.
Excellent charging performance
Tests reveal performance worthy of all official MagSafe chargers worthy of the name. The iPhone recharges at 15W, the maximum power possible in Qi2, allowing you to go from 0 to 20% in just 15 minutes. The Apple Watch Series 10 is not to be outdone since it reaches 75% charge in around 30 minutes, thus taking advantage of the ultra-fast charging of the latest model.
Note that this charger is not compatible with the latest 25W MagSafe standard introduced on the iPhone 16. Currently, only Apple’s official cable can reach the new charging speed. This is not a fault as there is no alternative and 15W is enough for normal use, but it’s worth knowing. On the other hand, the new ultra-fast charging of the Apple Watch Series 10 is fully supported.
The station allows simultaneous charging of three devices without compromising on the power delivered. Apple certifications guarantee perfect compatibility and optimal charging for each device. A particularly appreciable point is the stability of the magnetic connection, which prevents accidental disconnections even during handling.
The verdict: a quality accessory
The Anker MagGo 3-in-1 charger stands out as an excellent alternative to traditional solutions that are difficult to transport. With a decent price for this type of product (€99), its intelligent design and its excellent charging performance, it ticks all the boxes for a premium accessory. Qi2 certification guarantees optimal compatibility with the latest iPhones, while remaining compatible with previous generations from iPhone 12 onwards.
For anyone looking for a complete, portable and efficient charging station for their Apple ecosystem, the MagGo 3-in-1 represents a wise investment. It cleverly combines portability and performance, all in a sleek design that won’t look out of place on a desk or nightstand. This is clearly one of the best wireless chargers at the moment, and undoubtedly the best for portable use.
