Anker's latest 25W MagSafe 3-in-1 charger brings active cooling to a foldable, travel-sized design that can charge iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch simultaneously.
At CES 2026 last month, Anker unveiled a few interesting new accessories for Apple users, including its Nano Desktop dock and new 45W Nano charger with smart display. It also unveiled a new 25W MagSafe 3-in-1 with a couple of highly appealing features, and it's now available for purchase.
The 25W Qi2.2 Revolution Continues
The big trend of the latter half of 2025 was bringing 25W Qi2.2 to every single wireless charging accessory possible, and that's going to continue into 2026. Anker is kicking things off with a new portable MagSafe 3-in-1 that packs 25W Qi2.2 support into a very portable design.
With 25W of wireless charging, active cooling is practically a necessity. Nearly every 25W charger on the market integrates it, and the new Anker foldable 3-in-1 is no exception. In the box, you get a 45W charge brick and USB-C cable – providing ample power to charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at once.
With this stand, you can charge an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in just 26 minutes.
A Worthy Successor to MagSafe Duo
Remember MagSafe Duo? If you were someone who really enjoyed that product before Apple killed it off, you'll likely enjoy this one. It has extremely similar portability characteristics, but comes with two key benefits: it can serve as a stand, and it can charge three devices at once instead of two.
One neat (though totally unnecessary) feature on this charger is that the Apple Watch charger is spring-loaded. It does fold inwards while you have the charger compacted, but when you're ready to unfold everything, you just need to press downward on it and it springs outward. I thought that was pretty neat, and helps justify the premium price tag that this product demands.
Active Cooling Makes a Real Difference
The inclusion of active cooling isn't just a marketing gimmick – it fundamentally changes the wireless charging experience. Without proper heat management, 25W wireless charging can lead to thermal throttling, slower charging speeds, and potential long-term battery degradation. Anker's active cooling solution ensures consistent 25W output without the overheating issues that plague many high-power wireless chargers.
This means you can actually achieve those advertised charging speeds consistently, rather than watching your iPhone drop to 15W or lower as temperatures rise. For frequent travelers or anyone who relies on wireless charging throughout the day, this reliability is worth the premium.
Portability Meets Functionality
The foldable design is genuinely clever. When collapsed, it's compact enough to slip into a laptop bag or even a large pocket. When unfolded, it transforms into a functional charging stand that keeps your iPhone at a comfortable viewing angle while charging. The ability to charge three devices simultaneously – something the original MagSafe Duo couldn't do – makes this particularly valuable for Apple ecosystem users.
Is It Worth the Price?
Anker's new 3-in-1 MagSafe is available on Amazon today for a launch discount of $119.99 – then $149.99 afterwards. That's certainly premium pricing, but when you consider the active cooling technology, the 25W charging speeds, the three-device capability, and the travel-friendly design, it starts to make more sense.
For comparison, Apple's MagSafe Duo launched at $129 and only charged two devices at 15W maximum. This Anker solution charges three devices at up to 25W with active cooling, making it a compelling upgrade for those who valued the Duo's portability but wanted more functionality.
The Bottom Line
All in all, if you want a nice MagSafe 3-in-1 charger that can easily work for travel, this new Anker offering is a great choice. Since it includes active cooling, it actually charges your iPhone rather quickly without any of the overheating or other negative side affects that wireless charging can sometimes have.
The combination of 25W Qi2.2 speeds, active cooling, three-device charging, and a genuinely portable design makes this one of the most versatile MagSafe accessories available today. Whether you're a frequent traveler, a desk-bound professional, or just someone who appreciates good engineering, Anker's new foldable 3-in-1 delivers on its promises.
