Anker is out with yet another charging accessory, this time the Anker 333 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station. It’s another convenient means by which to power up your iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch all in one place.
The Anker 333 Wireless Charger
The streamlined Anker 333 charging station packs similar features to members of Anker’s MagGo lineup released recently. While lacking MagSafe-compatibility, this Qi-enabled charger can still capably juice your iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch.
The charger’s main Qi charging stand for a smartphone puts out up to 11W of power. iPhones can only leverage 7.5W of that, as is usual with almost all third-party chargers.
Your AirPods or other earbuds with a wireless charging case can take advantage of a secondary Qi pad on the Anker 3-in-1 station. That section of the charging pad, in the middle, offers 5W of power to a device. It can charge any Qi-enabled device.
For Apple Watch, too
And of course the Anker 333 charger has an integrated Apple Watch charging stand for your wearable. As with many Anker products, you provide the charging puck. You can plug into an internal USB-A. Cable management grooves underneath pair with the folding stand up top to keep things neat.
While the lack of a watch charging puck isn’t a surprise, the presence of a 20W USB-C PD wall charger in the package is — a pleasant surprise. With many products, Anker and many of its competitors make you supply your own wall adapter. It’s good to see a more complete package with this release.
Price and availability
Anker’s new 333 charger costs $45.99 on Amazon, which sounds about right, given that you don’t have to buy a separate wall charger.
Price: $45.99
