detailedReviews: detailedReviews 1: content: I’ve been looking for a 3 in 1 charger that I can use at home and for travel. From reviews I’ve seen Anker seemed to be the only one that didn’t sacrifice charging speed for portability on their previous cube one, but $150 was quite a steep price to swallow.And because Qi2 was announced I decided to wait, and I’m glad I did.Not only does this charger get Qi2, it seemingly resolves many complaints the previous one had. The build feels solid with a nice hefty clasp sound when folding it down, and the price is significantly lower at $110 I guess because of using Qi2 standard instead of magsafe. The slimmer form factor is much appreciated too in a backpack. It feels very close to the size of a deck of cards.Small nitpick would be the watch charger placement being awkward to use, especially with a stiffer watch band.I’m also going to address some negative reviews I saw.”They claim that it charges at 15 W which is not true! I checked it and max it could go to was 11.13 W! And the lowest was 7.06!“All lithium ion batteries charges the fastest when around half full, and charges slower when close to empty or close to full. Expecting it to charge at 15w constantly is just completely wrong. Lowest being significantly lower is not only expected but ideal for your battery health and safety.“I think it would break with time from the hinge as it doesn't look that sturdy to me!”I had the complete opposite impression.“Works only with the adapter brick that came with the device. I wanted to connect using Anker 95w usbc adapter for travel but this does not charge watch and AirPods when you use anything other than provided adapter.”I tried it with some of Anker’s power station, and their 735 65w power brick with no issues. I was able to reproduce this issue by using apple’s 20w usb c brick, which is less than the required 36w. So it’s odd that it’s not working with a 95w. I’m guessing there is something malfunctioning with PD, or the adapter doesn’t support 12V3A and 5V2.66A which is what the charger is designed for. Maybe if you’re thinking of buying this it might be worth making sure what you want to use it with supports 12V3A and or 5V2.66A out.“I've spent almost $200 last year on Superfast Chargers and cables and my Samsung 23 will only take so many watts at Peak and then starts coming down, I'm only gaining 7 to 9 minutes to charge over the old $10 Chargers...”Samsung S23 advertises 15w charging, but it is NOT Qi2. It will only work with 15w chargers specifically made for Samsung. Currently I don’t believe there are any android phones with Qi2 yet, so you’ll have to wait for Qi2 certified phones to be released if you are an android user.

detailedReviews 2: content: In a nutshell:Things I liked:+ The overall quality. Everything about it, from the angled USBC cable, to the charger itself, to even the wall plug... they all feel of the highest quality.+ The wireless charger itself feels exceptionally well-designed. It feels like a premium product, not only in the materials that they've used, but also the weight and the way in which everything is cleverly hinged and angled. It feels like it has been carefully designed to give you the maximum charging options in a very compact unit.+ Charging performance, as you'd expect, is really good. Charging performance is not noticeably affected by charging multiple devices at once.Things I didn't like:- The price is extremely high. £100 for a wireless charger and wall plug is very much the top end, even though this is a branded product. To be fair, similar premium chargers from UGreen and Belkin tend to be priced in a similar price range.Do I recommend it?Yes, although with one or two caveats.If you want a very good quality mobile wireless charger that's great for taking away with you and will charge your iPhone, your AirPods and your Apple watch all in one, this is great. If that is specifically your use case, you probably won't find a better wireless charger than this.If you're less bothered about the brand name, there are some unbranded chargers at around £30-£50 that will perform as well as this. However, they will not feel as premium.If you want a wireless MagSafe phone charger that's also capable of charging higher-powered devices, you might want to look at the UGreen MagSafe charger. It is around £30 more, but I've tested it and have found it to be excellent, providing up to 100 watts of wired charging power in addition to the angled MagSafe phone charging plate. It has no specific AirPod or watch charging functions though.If you want a charger that is likely to stay in the same place (for example, by your bedside) you might want to look at some of the Belkin charging stands which are very expensive (about £140), but do look very good - although I will say that I haven't tried those, so I just don't know if they're going to be quite as good.But for what this Anker charger specifically does, I don't think you'll get anything better.

detailedReviews 3: content: There's a great deal to like about this Anker 3-in-1 charger but I'm going to begin with the negatives and the reasons why I nearly awarded the product only 3 stars.First there's the price which at the time of writing this review is still £99. Really? Anker products are generally of hight quality and well designed but that's an eye-watering price for a 3-in-1 charger. Second there's the lack of any instructions in the box: while it could be said that using the unit is intuitive it would be good to know how the blue light relates to various items being charged. And finally there's the fact that the one I received became quite worryingly hot on the MagSafe phone charger part of the device when I was using it to charge my iPhone 14 Pro Max.Listing the bad points is not the way I generally start a review and the fact that I've given 4 stars shows that I genuinely like this product. It's as compact as stated - just a bit thicker than a pack of playing cards - and the charging speeds for my iPhone and Apple Watch 7 45mm were the best I've ever seen for any 3-in-1 charger. The watch took about the same time as any of the more usual charging methods (Apple charging cable and fast power bank), while the iPhone probably took about 30 minutes longer than the normal fast charging via a fast cable and fast charger. In addition, the earbuds section also charged my Bose Quietcomfort Ultra earbuds without any problem.My main issue at present is the possible overheating. The iPhone charging section hasn't become so hot yet that I've had to remove the phone from the MagSafe charger but I'm monitoring carefully and will update this review as necessary if overheating does become a problem in future. Otherwise, if you can afford it this really is the one to beat for charging speeds for Apple devices. Recommended.

detailedReviews 4: content: This is a great charger. It's compact, supports high-speed charging, and is built very solidly. It's small size and ability to fold up makes it ideal for travel. It has a single low-brightness LED that only lights when you first plug it in to a power source making it ideal for placing on a bed stand to charge over night. It comes with a bonafide PD power supply that's also very compact. I've verified the voltages using a USB power meter.It does have a couple of downsides, though. First off it doesn't work well with non-magsafe phone cases - in fact it specifically names Otterbox Defender as being incompatible - this just so happens to be the type of case I use. It actually does work with the Otterbox Defender, however the thickness of the case makes the magnetic hold too weak to hold the phone in place while it's being charged. When I switched to a magsafe case, it held very securely while charging.Secondly the instructions are terrible. You get half of a tiny page of microscopic print with half a dozen FAQs, followed by FCC and CE notices that no one ever reads and then the same thing repeated about 20 times in different languages. The back of the "manual" has a QR code for looking up a User Guide which is single page of FAQs. I get that it's not a very complicated device, but it would be nice to know what the light on the side of it actually means.Finally, it gets HOT. It's not terrible, but it did surprise me. I measured the temperature with a thermal camera (image attached) and it clocks in at just over 105 degrees F. There's a lot of metal in this device and the FAQ even explains that it uses metal to sink the heat away from the phone and charger, and judging by how hot the back of the phone charging plate gets, it's doing a good job of it.This is definitely a quality product.

detailedReviews 5: content: I am a big fan of Anker’s products. I’m not sure anything has ever been a disappointment and this is no different.This charger is super compact. It folds up so compact that I can easily travel with it. When folded, it is about the same as two MagSafe battery packs.Charging speeds are fantastic! It charges my Apple Watch Ultra 2 in no time at all - I’ll have to time it at some point. I only have to charge that watch every couple of days. Now I plug this in next to my couch and charge it quickly while watching TV.It charges my phone and AirPods just as fast.I have become a big fan of the stand-by mode on my iPhone and can attach my phone in landscape (stand-by) when watching a movie and don’t want a lot of notifications. If I do want notifications, I just attach it in portrait mode.I love that the cable connects to the side and not the back of this. That is always one of the annoyances when trying to plug something like in when you have a small space.I would love if they came out with a version 2 of this that was also a wireless battery so it could be used on the go as well. I would think it would end up being much heavier though so maybe that isn’t such a great idea.The price sort of threw me at first (Vine isn’t really free since we pay income tax on things we get) but, after using this for a couple of weeks, I think it is worth it. It charges my Apple devices very quickly! It takes up less space than most multi-device charging stations do. It folds up so that I can travel with it - hotel travel or even just between my home office desk and work desk. Basically, it does one thing - charges my devices - and does it very well.

detailedReviews 6: content: **Update** 03/31/24So Anker reached out to me, this funny enough I wasn’t surprised about.Their customer service has always been good, usually when I have an issue I can reach out to them and they’ll resolve the issue for the most part.This time the 87w adapter (apple laptop) that I currently have oddly enough is not compatible, however my 45w Anker adapter is.According to them it has to be 30w or higher and for the most part (with some exceptions like my 87w) adapters should be compatible.They did end up making it worth my while to keep it and since the issues are mostly resolved I’ve gone and updated my rating/review.Thank you to their customer service, there was no obligation on my part to update this. I just thought it deserved it because of the attention they provided to just another customer.Thanks!——————————————————————Pros:Relatively compact packageAnker ReliabilitySturdy packageCons:HeavyRequires use of included power adapter (Solid blue light will confirm) for all features to work (it will charge phones, but the blue light will blink and not charge other accessories)Not the smallest package when you’re stuck bringing their power block as well.I was reluctant to buy this because I still feel packages like this should come in at a lower price point; however, I’m was tired of this kind of charger being on my shopping list since I needed it for travel. Overall it feels really sturdy in the hand, MagSafe is very strong, wireless charging works fine.I’m just SUUUUPER disappointed in the fact that this will not work with other aftermarket power adapters. What gives? If my adapter can provide sufficient (40w is what they include), I don’t see why it shouldn’t work. I’m still thinking about whether this needs to go back.. We shall see.SO..SOLID LIGHT: All items will chargerBLINKING LIGHT: Just your phone will chargeOther than that if you’re ok with using theirs and ONLY their power block, this will work great for you. Good luck though once you lose/break/forget their power block… this 3in1 package becomes just a wireless phone charging stand.

detailedReviews 7: content: I had been on the fence about buying the Anker Cube Magsafe 3-in-1 charger but really didn't want to spend $150 on a charger that would mainly be used for traveling. I was on a business trip when this was announced at CES and with it supporting Qi2 and being $40 less than the Cube, I decided to go ahead and order one for myself and one for my wife since we'd be traveling a bit this year and this would be perfect to take with us on our trips. The build seems decently solid. I've seen some reviews complain it won't last long term with the hinge but it seems sturdy enough for me so far so we'll have to see how it holds up over time. I also saw some complain it was only pulling 11 watts of power compared to the advertised 15 watts. While I can't test how many watts it's actually pulling, charging speeds don't seem to be any different than my other Magsafe certified chargers but people need to keep in mind that the charger won't charge at the full 15 watts continuously but will change over time based on the battery level. The other complaints I saw were that you needed to use the included 60W wall adapter and you couldn't use any charger. I did test this out with my MEKIOJEO 220W Charging station which maxes out at 65W for a single port and I tried it out with this and it worked fine. Overall, for me and for my needs this seems to work great and will be perfect to have while traveling.

detailedReviews 8: content: I purchased this mainly for travel, and I got a great storage/travel case to carry it in. I trust Anker products, and even though this was pricey, I went for it. Once in hand, it packs down nicely and takes up less overall space than the separate components I was carrying for the same purpose. The product feels nicely built, typical of Anker products.My only complaint is that the watch charger requires an awkward placement of your watch, with the band splayed out. If you curl the band (as if on your wrist), it won't stay on the charger. Even with the necessary placement, if you bump the charger in the slightest, the watch pops off and fails to charge. This works fine if you have a lot of flat space to put the charger on, but I've now stayed in a couple of locations with less accommodating spaces and had to take my watch band off to get it to fit and stay. The Anker cube might be better, but it's a bit too bulky for my purposes.I do plan to use this at home, instead of just travel, so I can get more use and value for the high price.(Amazon-specific complaint: They clearly sent me a returned item. The tape on the box was cut and the wrapping on the components was obviously put back on after having been opened. I paid for a NEW item, not a used one. Unfortunately, I was immediately going on a trip and needed to take this with me.)

detailedReviews 9: content: Summary:This is a great wireless charger for those entrenched in the Apple ecosystem with an iPhone, Airpods and Apple Watch. However it definitely comes at a premium.Price at time of review: £99.99BuildThe charger is small and compact with a premium build. The folding mechanism is nice and it folds down to a nice relatively slim block. The finish is a nice soft touch matt black.The charger comes with a 40W adapter and a 1.5m right angled USB cable. The adapter is a bit on the chunky side and I feel Anker missed a trick by not including another port here for charging additional devices, especially at this price. Although I am using it primarily with my slimline 65W GaN multiport charger which is actually the same size as the included Anker charger. The cable is nice and long through and the right angled connector is nice.FunctionalityWell not much to say here except the functionality is spot on. The magnets are excellent and when placed sideways, the iPhone supports StandBy. Everything has it's place and charges nice and smooth. As a complete solution to charge iPhone, Airpods and Apple Watch, it's pretty much perfect.The reason for only 4 stars is the price and the adapter for the reasons above

detailedReviews 10: content: This is another great product from Anker! It packs everything you need to charge the "Apple Trinity" on the go in a nice, small and convenient package. I love how the Watch charger folds underneath, further reducing this thing's footprint when packed for travel. The inclusion of a wall plug is nice too, although I will probably use it with a multi-port charger that I already have. The phone and watch magnets are exactly as strong as you'd expect them to be. Because of the size and weight of this thing, you probably will have to hold it with one hand while pulling your phone off with the other - or at least I did. But that's fine for a traveling charger. If this were a daily driver, that'd be a non-starter. But overall, I love this thing and look forward to using it whenever I travel to keep my Apple devices fully charged and ready to go!For reference, I'm using it with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, an Apple Watch Series 7 45mm Stainless Steel and AirPods Pro. They all started charging immediately when placed in their respective spots. I also tried putting my iPhone 11 Pro Max on the spot for AirPods while my 15 was on the MagSafe charger and both stayed charging - though I'm not sure at what speeds.If this is a product you're in the market for, do not hesitate to add it to your collection!
