Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe is Perfect On-the-Go or at Home
The Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe, priced at $40 (was $150), sits quietly on your nightstand, desk, or kitchen counter, charging three devices simultaneously without taking up too much space. People who use this charger frequently reach for it, even when they are not on a trip. A few days in, it’s easy to see why: it just makes sense to have one compact accessory that can handle all of your gadgets rather than a mess of cables and individual pads scattered about.
When folded up, the charger is incredibly compact, measuring 3.3 by 3.1 by 1 inches and weighing less than half a pound, allowing it to nestle neatly in a drawer or backpack without being noticed. When you open it, you’ll find three small spaces waiting to be filled: one magnetic pad for your iPhone, a flip-up module for your Apple Watch, and a flat bit for your AirPods or AirPods Pro.
Mophie developed the entire thing with MagSafe in mind, and it’s also Qi2 certified, so any iPhone 12 series and up will just snap into place securely. That connection provides up to 15 watts of wireless power, quickly charging your phone from dead to “good enough to get through breakfast or a quick meeting.” The Apple Watch spot supports fast charging and even allows you to put it up in nightstand mode if desired. AirPods simply sit on the third pad and deliver up to 5 watts; it’s not rocket science, but it’s consistent and reliable.
The package includes a 40-watt wall converter, a USB-C cable, and a set of international plug heads for outlets in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. People who travel will undoubtedly appreciate the global coverage, but the converter also works well for powering the charger at home. The entire package folds flat into a small travel pouch that keeps everything neat and safe.
Just set it on the bedside table, drop your iPhone on the MagSafe pad, flip up the Watch charger and pop the AirPods case below. By morning, everything is charged and you can just pick up your phone and go, with no miles of cables strewn across the bed to tangle in. Plus, the elevated iPhone pad is nicely oriented, allowing you to view your phone screen in landscape mode, which is a great small convenience.
