Anker expanded its lineup of iPhone 13 accessories Friday with a new version of the PowerWave Magnetic Stand. Now with a 3-in-1 form factor, Anker’s new MagSafe-compatible stand will juice up your iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch — all at once, if necessary.
Anker 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Stand
Anker has been busy bolstering its stable of iPhone 13-compatible accessories, both before and after the new handset’s recent launch. Now it expands its popular PowerWave 2-in-1 MagSafe Stand as a 3-in-1, meaning it can now charge three items — an iPhone 12 or 13, AirPods or AirPods Pro, and an Apple Watch.
The new Anker Magnetic PowerWave 3-in-1 Stand features a basic design and solid functionality at a competitive price.
A typically elongated base features a slot to attach an Apple Watch charging puck. You’ll have to provide the actual charger for the wearable yourself. But integrated cable management and a USB-A port help keep the stand clean and orderly once you do.
At home on a desk or nightstand
The stand is compact enough to fit wherever you find it most convenient. Could be your desk. Could be your nightstand. Or maybe you put it on a side table by the front door.
The main 7.5W charger, for your iPhone, sits on a metal arm with adjustable mount. A 5W Qi pad for AirPods sits below it.
You can get the Anker 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Stand for $59.99 at Amazon. It comes bundled with a 20W USB-C PD charger. It is only available in black currently, but a white offering should come out soon, Anker said.
