8 Best Apple Charging Stations to Power Up All Your Devices

The 3-in-1 MagSafe Wireless Stand is the perfect solution for anyone who needs to charge their iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch. It features a sturdy base with a charging pad for AirPods, plus two stainless steel arms with a MagSafe charger for your iPhone (left) and a magnetic charging pad for your Apple Watch (right). The overall aesthetic has a timeless feel, allowing it to fit with all types of decor.

Adding to its cool factor is the ability to charge an iPhone in portrait or landscape, giving you the flexibility to use StandBy mode if you want. Bonus: It has an LED light onboard that will indicate if the charging station is powering your devices as intended. Belkin’s 3-in-1 comes with a wall charger, so you don’t need to buy one separately. Unfortunately, the wall adapter is large and can take up a lot of space on a power strip, so you’ll need to plan accordingly.

Anker’s 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe is a compact and versatile charging station for your various Apple devices. You can choose to charge your iPhone flat or elevated, with the angled position being ideal for using StandBy mode in iOS 17, a feature that turns your phone into a smart display. Underneath the MagSafe dock, you’ll find a dedicated spot for charging your AirPods or other compatible wireless earbuds. Finally, the right side hides a retractible Apple Watch charging pad.

The Cube’s design makes it ideal for saving space. It blends well with your surroundings when not in use, looking more like a decorative piece than a tech accessory. The compact size also makes Anker’s 3-in-1 charging pad a suitable option for travel. Not every charging station comes with a wall adapter, but Anker conveniently includes a 30-watt USB-C charger, so you can start powering your devices right out of the box.

Our only gripe is the retractable charger only lies flat, so it isn’t ideal for using the Apple Watch in Nightstand mode. As a 3-in-1 charger, however, you’ll likely angle the MagSafe pad when your iPhone is charging, so the lack of a vertical Apple Watch stand isn’t a major drawback.

Nomad has a reputation for making some of the best looking tech accessories out there, and the brand’s Base One Max is the pinnacle of well-designed wireless charging stations. It’s crafted with metal and glass and features a satisfying heft, so it stays firmly planted on the surface it’s placed. This not only ensures stability when grabbing your phone, but also exudes a sense of quality and sophistication that complements any modern workspace or nightstand.

While the build quality of the Base One Max’s is undeniable, its premium design comes at a premium price. It’s by far the most expensive option on this list, making it a statement piece for those who really care about the quality of the things they buy. It’s also worth noting that the Base One Max is the only charging station on this list that doesn’t come with a bundled wall adapter, further adding to the cost.

Many of the charging stations on this list are sophisticated 3-in-1 models that allow you to charge three Apple devices simultaneously. Belkin’s 2-in-1 MagSafe Wireless Charging Pad is a more streamlined and affordable option that’s perfect for anyone who owns an iPhone and AirPods. This model features a more traditional lay-flat design—simply plop your devices down onto their respective spots and that’s it. Even better: There’s an extra USB-C port to plug in an Apple Watch charger.

While the design is relatively basic, the charging pad offers a few modern flourishes. It supports the newest Qi2 standard, ensuring consistent alignment and the fastest possible wireless charging for your iPhone. It also has a built-in LED that lets you know your device’s charging status. And although it's not specifically designed for travel, Belkin’s compact lay-flat design makes it easy to throw in a bag.

Twelve South’s new Butterfly 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger feels like a spiritual successor to Apple’s discontinued MagSafe Duo. Only Twelve South’s solution is more elegant and functional, featuring two aluminum-clad charging pads—one 15-watt MagSafe charger for an iPhone and a fast charger for an Apple Watch—tethered by a vegan leather strap.

What elevates the Butterfly above the MagSafe Duo is Twelve South’s charger features magnets on both sides of the charging pads. When folded together, the magnets keep the Butterfly securely closed, protecting the charging pads during travel. Unfold it back-to-back and the charger can be propped up, allowing you to display your iPhone in StandBy mode.

When your iPhone is finished charging, the wireless pad can top up your AirPods. Meanwhile, your purchase comes with four international plug adapters, perfect for those who frequently travel.

This 3-in-1 MagSafe-compatible charger from Mophie is an ideal solution for frequent travelers who own an iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch. It can fold up to the size of a compact mirror, making it easy to pack into your purse or backpack. To top off its travel credibility, it comes with a felt carrying pouch, making it easy to stow away when you’re on the go.

Like other options on this list, a USB-C cable and 30-watt wall adapter are included, so you’re ready to go right out of the box. Compared to our most compact pick, Twelve South’s Butterfly, Mophie’s travel charger can power three devices simultaneously. It can’t prop up your iPhone for StandBy, but in terms of convenience, it’s an excellent travel companion thanks to its 3-in-1 design.

The Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Station features a versatile, space-saving design that won’t clutter your desk or nightstand. When not in use, it can fold up to roughly the size of a deck of cards for easy storage. When unfolded, it transforms into a complete charging hub for your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. The phone stand cleverly flips up to reveal a charging pad for your AirPods, while a dedicated Apple Watch charger pops out from the base.

The charging station supports the latest Qi2 standard, so it comes with strong magnets for precise alignment and delivers up to 15 watts of power. Additionally, Anker’s charging station comes with a bundled 40-watt AC adapter and a 5-foot USB-C cable, so you don’t need to buy extra accessories.

The best charging stations generally take up a lot of horizontal space, whether they’re standing upright or lying flat. Twelve South’s HiRise 3 Deluxe is a more vertical station, making it a compact solution to save space on your nightstand. Instead of arranging its charging pads side-by-side, Twelve South’s 3-in-1 arranges them in a front-to-back configuration (Apple Watch in front, iPhone in the middle, and AirPods in the back). The idea is to save as much space as possible.

In addition to its space-saving design, the HiRise 3 Deluxe’s MagSafe pad for the iPhone has 35 degrees of adjustment, allowing you to find the best viewing angle. Other charging stations have a fixed MagSafe pad, so you’re stuck with the angle you’re given. Meanwhile, the charging pad for the Apple Watch can sit flat or flip up, so you can use it with various watch straps. These thoughtful features elevate the experience, making the HiRise 3 Deluxe perfect for saving space on your nightstand.
