Roll out the mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe and it’s ready to juice up your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods. Just drop the devices on their appropriate wireless charging mat. And, to make it easier to take on the road, the accessory comes with a carrying case.
I used the original 2022 model, and mophie introduced a new version in late 2023. I retested the multidevice travel charger to see how quickly it wirelessly powers up a variety of Apple products and how easy it is to carry around. Here are my updated results.
mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe review
I rarely leave the house without an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods. And I certainly wouldn’t go on vacation without them. That makes a way to recharge each of them while I’m on the road a necessity.
I can throw a couple of cables and wall power adapters in my bag, but I always end up wanting to everything at the same time so the collection of cables and chargers gets bulky, and they clutter up my luggage.
The mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe is an all-in-one solution. It’s a mat with a single USB-C cable and adapter that charges three Apple devices at the same time. And it can handle your MacBook and iPad in a pinch.
With the release of a new 2023 model, I retested the latest version. The small changes in appearance are noted below. For those who already own the 2022 version, the only functional change in the refresh is the addition of Apple Watch fast charging.

An iPhone travel charger and a whole lot more

The mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe starts out as a 3.1-inch by 3.3-inch by 1.0-inch rolled-up package that’s 0.4 pounds. This is held magnetically closed.
Unroll the device to expose the three charging mats: one for AirPods, one for iPhone and the third for Apple Watch.
The exterior of the charger is fabric in a professional-looking dark grey. The interior is more utilitarian: plastic charging mats on a black surface. It’s not something you’ll want permanently on your desk or nightstand, though it’s fine for a business trip or vacation.

The center of mophie’s 3-in-1 Travel Charger is an iPhone wireless charging mat with MagSafe. An iPhone 12, 13, 14 or 15 will cling to this magnetically and charge at up to 15W. Many rival chargers top out at 7.5W.
Any iPhone or Android that supports wireless charging can also use this mat. They won’t get the advantages of MagSafe, though.
I did real-world testing with my iPhone 15, and the charger was able to raise the handset’s battery level 19% in half an hour, and 37% in a full hour. That’s slower than other MagSafe-compatible chargers I’ve tested, and about the same speed as Apple’s own version.
On the right side of mophie’s travel charger is the Apple Watch charging mat. The wearable clings to this magnetically, and the mat is on a hinge so you can tilt it up. That makes the Watch screen easily viewable at night.
In my real-world test, the mat raised the battery level on the Apple Watch Series 3 by 28% in half an hour. That’s the standard charging rate for the wearable. If I had a new model of the wearable, the accessory would be able to fast charge it.
The third major component of the Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe is a slightly concave mat designed to hold a Wireless Charging Case for AirPods. The mat provides the standard 5W of power.
Wall power adapter and USB-C cable

The iPhone/Apple Watch/AirPods charger comes with a 30W USB-C PD wall adapter. That’s enough juice to power all three wireless charging mats simultaneously. I tested this to be sure.
A 39-inch USB-C to USB-C cable is also included. It’s long enough to teach from a wall socket to a nightstand.
Or you can use the wall charger and USB-C cable for your Mac or iPad instead. USB-C is USB-C.
And a case!
One of my favorite features of the mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe is its carrying case (shown above). The new 2023 version is a dark-gray felted material and is held closed with a zipper. It is made with up to 50% recycled plastic bottles.
There’s enough room inside for the multidevice charger, the wall adapter and the cable. There’s even a discreet AirTag pocket. This is a convenient way to keep all the pieces of the accessory together when you’re traveling.

mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe final thoughts
Getting to a destination and realizing you’ve forgotten the cable(s) you need to charge your devices is a bad feeling. I recommend anyone who travels regularly keep what you need permanently packed in your suitcase. A multidevice charger like mophie’s makes that easy. Drop the convenient carrying case in your bag and it’ll be waiting.
I like everything about the product… as long as you need all three types of chargers. It’s a bit bulky if you plan to only use two.
