The Mophie Roam 3-in-1 Travel Charger pumps power more quickly into an iPhone than almost any other charger I’ve tested that’s designed for use on the go. And it can juice up an Apple Watch and AirPods case at the same time. There’s a trade-off, though.
I put the accessory through a full round of testing with my Apple devices. Here’s what I found.

The highlight of the Mophie 4-in-1 Wireless Charge Stand is StealthCharge, Mophie’s own improvement to Qi2.2 that lets iPhone wireless chargers run more quickly because they stay cooler.
The stand can also charge an Apple Watch and AirPods at the same time. Plus, it sports an integrated, 60W retractable USB-C cable for powering other devices.
I put this multi-device charger to the test in my home office. Here’s why I’ll keep using it.
When it comes to charging an Apple Watch, you typically have two choices: Use a wired charger that plugs into a power source or go with some sort of battery pack. This portable Apple Watch charger is different — it can do both. It comes with built-in USB-A and USB-C and USB-A cables so you can plug it into a computer or wall wart, and a 1,200mAh battery so you can use it to charge wirelessly wherever you go.
It’s ideal for anyone who’s always on the go and wants to keep their Apple Watch powered up without needing an outlet. At just $29.99, it’s a surprisingly capable Apple Watch charger. And it makes a great stocking stuffer for anyone who wears an Apple Watch!
The remarkably tiny Charge Fob keychain power bank can charge your iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously. It’s one of the smallest portable chargers we’ve seen, and it’s perfect for those “oh crap” moments when one of your Apple devices runs out of juice unexpectedly.
Measuring just under 4 inches long and 2 inches wide, you can slip this little guy in your pocket, purse or travel bag and have some extra iPhone or Apple Watch juice to get through the day. Plus, at just $19.99, this gadget is an absolute steal (regularly $59.95).
The new Spigen Apple Watch Classic C1 Charger Stand comes in the form of a miniature iMac G3, complete with a selection of familiar translucent colors, the accessory maker said Monday.
So the Apple Watch charging stand, the latest addition to Spigen’s popular C1 series based on iMac G3 design cues, pays homage to one of Apple’s most iconic computers. It services as a functional charger as well as a conversation piece.
Keeping your Apple Watch charged on the go usually means dealing with messy cables that tangle easily or bulky chargers that take up valuable space in your bag. Statik’s new MagStack Slim for Apple Watch is a more compact, durable and tidy way of keeping your wearable powered wherever you are.

It’s not quite like anything else on the market.
The PowerBand is a sporty Apple Watch band that comes with a built-in magnetic Apple Watch charger.

As nice as it is to have an iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods and iPad with you all the time, that’s a lot of batteries to keep topped up. If you’re lucky, you can get away with carrying around only two cables, but that still means juggling devices between chargers.

Apple Watch batteries can last a while before they need to recharge, but that also means it’s easy to forget to stick them on their chargers at night.
