Three-in-one chargers for your smartphone, smartwatch, and wireless earbuds aren’t new, but their design tends to range from “a little too big” to “takes up my whole nightstand.” Not surprisingly, the innovative, attractive, and seriously effective solution for Apple users comes from Anker in the form of the 3-in-1 Cube With MagSafe, and it’s on sale right now at Amazon for just $113, a 25% drop from its regular retail price of $150.
The Anker 3-in-1 Cube is exclusively designed for Apple products, ready to charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at the same time, or 2 at a time, or just the iPhone. It folds down into a neat-looking cube, roughly 2.3 inches square and weighing just 0.9 pounds. When fully folded it can give any MagSafe-enabled iPhone a brisk 15W charge, but then when you extend the retractable Apple Watch charger and tilt up the lid to reveal another charging surface for your AirPods, you suddenly have all of your Apple device charging needs amply met by a compact, reliable charger that’s perfect for your travel bag.

Home and Away Power
We love the Anker 3-in-1 Cube as a travel charger. Not only does it fit neatly in a carry-on bag, it’s a huge upgrade from any of the unreliable USB chargers that tend to occupy hotel nightstands. The Anker 3-in-1 Cube just needs an AC outlet for its included 30W charging block and 5-foot USB-C cable. From there it’s a quick lift of the iPhone platform and press of the retractable Apple Watch stand, and that terrible USB charger in the nightstand lamp never needs to be used.
Assuming you don’t travel all the time, there’s no reason to leave the Cube in your go bag, because it’s also tailor made for your nightstand or desk, especially if you’re already a little overcrowded on either. The small footprint of the Anker 3-in-1 Cube is deal for space management and the adjustable angle of the iPhone charger means you can watch content or make video calls hands-free from your desk.
Secure Grip
The Anker Cube charges any MagSafe enabled iPhone, meaning anything from the iPhone 12 family on up to the current 16s, but it is recommended that you not use a non-magnetic case that would impede the Cube’s built-in magnet. But if you have a magnetic case or you’re one of those brave souls who goes without a case, the Cube’s magnet is strong enough to hold your iPhone in place for charging and viewing, both in portrait or landscape orientation.
A sturdy, compact, ultra-reliable MagSafe fast charger that accommodates all of your Apple devices at once without monopolizing your nightstand or desk is a sweet deal to begin with, but tack on Amazon’s 25% discount and at just $113, the Anker 3-in-1 Cube is a total steal that you’ll use whether you’re home or on the road.
