What's more, it could charge a phone, a smart watch, a headphone at the same time to save your time. Higher wattage means faster charging times, making it a significant factor for those seeking a quick charging solution. The included power adapter has regional adapters and a single 30W USB-C connection which, when not charging the cube, can be redirected to keep a laptop going.

It does look gorgeous though, and we’d speculate that anyone with three Apple devices recent enough to benefit from the cube might be able to stretch a few extra dollars for an elegant piece of design.MacRumors attracts a broad audience of both consumers and professionals interested in the latest technologies and products. It took a similar amount of time for my Apple Watch to creep from 50% to 95% with only my AirPods sitting on the pad. Admittedly it might occasionally by handy to be able to open the lid beyond 60˚ (if the cube were on a bedside table and you were trying to watch streaming video from the pillow). Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

Not to be mistaken with a wireless MagSafe charger, the Anker 3-in-1 cube requires one USB-C cord to power the three charging bases.I use the Apple Watch Ultra's Ocean Band as my everyday band and I do have to be a little bit careful with how I set the watch on the charger to ensure the band doesn't interfere with the positioning as it droops down onto the table or desk below. The ‌MagSafe‌ phone charging surface on Anker's Cube is a platform hinged on the front, and it swings up with enough resistance that you can position it across a range of angles for maximum convenience while also revealing the AirPods charging surface beneath. Anker has also included some innovations on the design front with the 3-in-1 Cube, as the whole thing collapses down to a roughly 2. But Anker really did deliver with one of the more unique form-factors on the market that also delivers on just about every feature I could want. Using a high-quality wireless charger to keep your phone's battery level above 50% is more beneficial than waiting until the battery drops below 10% before charging.

While the brick may not be the fastest charger in the world, it undoubtedly trickle-charges my devices at a steady rate, promising consistent battery at the very least. We also boast an active community focused on purchasing decisions and technical aspects of the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other Apple platforms. The packaging box adopts a classic Anker Blue design with MFW and MFM certification labels on the corner.This brings me to what I believe is the cube's ultimate standout feature: the adjustable MagSafe base.

Adjustable Viewing Angle Up to 60° : Conveniently switch between landscape or portrait mode for a comfortable view—all while delivering a steady charge to your phone. I managed to charge my iPhone 14 Pro via the MagSafe wireless charger on the front, AirPods on the wireless charging pad under the top, and Apple Watch on the pop-out charger all at the same time with no issue. Just like portable power stations and power banks, a wireless charger solely transfers energy from a power source to your device. Cases made of metal and attachments such as magnets, cards, keys, and pop grips will interfere with charging.Through magnets, I was able to snap my iPhone in either vertical or landscape mode to FaceTime, stream, and easily view notifications while it was charging. A Place for All Your Apple Devices: Using Apple’s official MFi-approved MagSafe module, power multiple compatible devices simultaneously with the included 30W charger, including your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. I got this as I liked its compactness and adaptability with the variable phone holder angle and retractable watch charger shelf. What is lacking is the magnetic ‘grab’ of the Apple Watch charging puck, but with careful placement / balance the Ultra is now charging consistently.
