If you're hitting the road and need to keep your Apple devices charged, the Anker 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe could be a great travel companion. It handles your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all in one go, which is pretty handy.
According to the manufacturer's description, it can deliver up to 15W of wireless charging for iPhones and offer fast charging for Apple Watch Series 7, 8, and Ultra models. So, you won't be stuck waiting around too long for fully charged devices.
What's nice about this charger is its foldable and compact design. It fits easily into your bag, which is perfect for travelers. We found that although it weighs about 14.5 ounces, making it a bit heavier than you might expect, it stays put and is still quite convenient when you're on the move.
The cube's design is pretty flexible. You can adjust the viewing angles up to 60 degrees, so if you want to keep an eye on your notifications while charging in a cramped space, like on a plane or in a hotel room, you can.
However, it's not all perfect. Our research shows a couple of minor issues. The magnetic strength might not be enough if you've got a thick case on your phone, possibly affecting the MagSafe connection. Plus, the Apple Watch charging puck is retractable and might seem a bit flimsy to some, which could be a concern if you're using it a lot while traveling.
There's also a bit of a fussy element with the AirPods—placing them just right for charging can be tricky, and they might disconnect if not precisely aligned. Not ideal if you're charging overnight.
But overall, despite these small hiccups, it's a thumbs-up for most travelers. They like that it cuts down on the number of chargers and cables they need to bring along, keeping things clutter-free.
If you're someone who travels with a bunch of Apple gear and wants to simplify charging, this cube might be worth a look.
