Anker’s new collection of Qi2 MagGo accessories includes a 3-in-1 foldable pad that charges your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at the same time.

Yes, it does remind me of a macaron.

At IFA 2024, Anker announced a slate of new charging accessories, including a new portable 3-in-1 Qi2 charger. The new MagGo 3-in-1 foldable pad unravels into three wireless pucks tethered by rubbery straps: a Qi2-certified 15W charger on one end, a 5W Apple-certified Watch charger on the other, and a 5W Qi puck in the middle that also houses the USB-C power input port.

The new Anker 3-in-1 seems inspired by Twelve South’s Butterfly charger design, including its ability to fold back as a kickstand for an iPhone while charging. Still, the Butterfly only charges an iPhone and Apple Watch. Anker’s is available today for $88.99 and comes in black, white, and pink, with a green one launching “after October.”

Anker also has a new MagGo Qi2 charging stand ($39.99) with a satisfyingly tactile — if overengineered — rotating and tilting head that holds your iPhone at any desired angle. It’s specifically weighted for iPhones, as I found when I tried using it with my Pixel 8 Pro in a magnetic Dbrand ghost case (it’s fine…). It couldn’t keep my top-heavy Pixel horizontal.

The stand is designed for iPhones; other phones with magnet cases will probably not stay horizontal.

Anker has its own MagSafe grip case with a fold-out “360” ring that lets you stand it up at any angle; now it comes in multiple shades, including clear and gray, for a cheaper $29.99 price tag. Another update is with the MagGo power bank ($69.99), which is now slimmer than last year and fits nicely on the back of every recent iPhone that isn’t a Mini.

Anker’s last new accessory is a 30W MagGo power bank, which shares a similar form factor with Anker’s Fusion tethered USB-C power pack but includes a flip-up Apple Watch fast charger (and no AC pins, so charge it with another adapter). It’s available now for $79.99.
