Charging your devices should be easy and produce minimal clutter in your life. That’s why 3-in-1 wireless chargers are so popular. Having one charger that works for your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once is truly the dream.
The problem is, most 3-in-1 chargers are either too expensive or ugly. Sometimes both. And often they are missing a key feature or two.
That’s why I was thrilled to discover this GETPALS charger that checks all the boxes of what I’ve been looking for, and at a ridiculously low price.
Why this 3-in-1 charger is such a unicorn for me
This charger checks all the boxes that I’ve long been looking for but never found:
- iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods can all be charged at once
- there are no unsightly brand names or other undesirable design choices; I also love that icons for the Watch and AirPods adorn the device
- you can dock your iPhone in landscape for using StandBy mode
- the device uses a single cable to charge everything
- it’s ultra-portable and thus great for traveling with
- there’s a charging indicator light, but it can be easily turned off
- it’s not crazy expensive
This final bullet point is, honestly, not as important to me as everything else. I love Apple devices, which means I’m often willing to pay a premium for something good.
So I was very surprised to find that this GETPALS charger gives me everything I’ve been looking for at an extremely low price. I was able to snag it on sale, but even at the normal price, I’d still have purchased this charger in a second.
Perfect for taking with you
It wasn’t the highest priority on my list, but this 3-in-1 charger is also built well for taking it on the go. Whether you’re hopping on a flight, or simply going to work from a coffee shop, this charging stand is a great option.
Having only one cable, one charging brick, and being relatively lightweight all make it a solid on-the-go charger. But you can also fold down the iPhone stand, minimizing the charger’s overall footprint and making it very easy to throw in a bag.
Any drawbacks?
The only real drawback I’ve discovered is a necessary result of one of the charger’s design choices that can’t be avoided.
I love that the charger uses a single cable and a single charging brick. I wouldn’t want it any other way. But a drawback of this single-cable approach is that your devices won’t charge as quickly as if they each had their own dedicated cables and bricks. I’m willing to accept this trade-off, but it may not be the best choice for everyone.
Wrap-up
If you’ve been on the hunt for a multi-device charger that’s light on compromises, look no further. I still wish AirPower existed, but this is the first 3-in-1 I’ve encountered that at least makes me a little less sad about Apple’s charging mat’s demise.
The GETPALS 3-in-1 wireless charger is currently available on Amazon for $17.99.
