If you are the proud owner of an iPhone, AirPods, and an Apple Watch, you know how frustrating it can be to keep all of them charged with their individual cables and charging solutions. But what if there was a simple solution to this problem? A 3-in-1 wireless charger can accommodate all three of these devices, making your life much easier.
In our Best Wireless Chargers guide, we have listed a few recommendations for 3-in-1 wireless chargers, but there are many more options available in the market. After years of testing, we have compiled a list of our favorite docking systems for Apple devices. Don’t forget to check out our other Apple guides, including Best MagSafe Wireless Chargers, Best MagSafe Accessories, Best iPhone 15 Cases, Best iPhone, Best Apple Watch, and Best AirPods.
In our July 2024 update, we have added chargers from top brands like Belkin, Twelve South, Mophie, Nomad, Anker, Woodie, Satechi, Raycon, and others. We have included more details on specifications and what is included in each package, removed older devices, and updated the prices to provide you with the most up-to-date information.
Most of the wireless chargers mentioned in our guide are MagSafe wireless chargers, which are designed to work with the magnets embedded in the back of iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15 models. It is important to note that if you purchase a case for your iPhone, make sure it is a MagSafe case to ensure proper alignment with the wireless charger. Using a non-MagSafe case can weaken the magnetic connection and result in unreliable charging.
The beauty of MagSafe technology is that it eliminates the need to worry about misalignment with the wireless charger, ensuring that your device is always charging efficiently. Some MagSafe chargers can provide faster 15-watt charging, but this feature is limited to select products from specific brands. Additionally, MagSafe is also available in the AirPods charging case, allowing for seamless charging with compatible wireless charging pads.
If you have AirPods with MagSafe compatibility, you can easily attach them to magnetic mounts on these chargers for added convenience. However, if you have an older iPhone model without MagSafe technology, there are still options available for wireless charging. Be sure to check out our recommendations for older iPhones and the iPhone SE in our guides.
