Anker’s new MagGo lineup includes five accessories designed for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods owners. The star of the lineup, which the company unveiled Thursday ahead of IFA Berlin, is the MagGo 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station. It’s a cleverly designed three-way travel charger that an Anker representative referred to as “The Button” during a briefing ahead of the German electronics show.

Another standout — the strangely named MagGo Power Bank (10K, Apple Watch) — is a portable battery pack that includes a flip-out Apple Watch charging puck. Those two new additions show Anker striving to design new types of charging products. And, while the other three accessories look fairly typical, they do come with attractive features … and at attractive price points.

Here’s everything in Anker’s new MagGo lineup.

Anker MagGo lineup for 2024

Anker knows a good thing when it see it. So after Apple tapped into the magic of magnets for its innovative MagSafe technology, Anker came out with its own line of MagSafe-compatible accessories. Since then, the MagGo lineup has continued to grow and evolve.

“The MagGo line leverages the latest Qi2 charging standards and Magnetic Power Profile technology, providing a faster and more stable wireless charging experience with up to 15 watts of power,” Anker said in a press release Thursday.

You can find the new MagGo accessories on Anker’s site, where you can score a 15% discount on any two of them for a limited time. Amazon offers a similar discount.

As mentioned, the MagGo 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station looks like the most unique accessory of the bunch. An innovative folding design offers charging spots for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods (and/or similar devices). When the travel charger is folded up, it’s not much bigger than a couple of stacked AirPods cases.

It costs $89.99 and comes in black, white and pink. A green version will be available later this year, Anker says.

Price: $89.99

The 10,000mAh power bank can charge other devices while it recharges. Anker says it’s made from 75% recycled materials

Retailing for $79.99, it’s available now in black, white and pink. Anker says the green option will become available later in the year.

The MagGo Wireless Charger (Stand) looks like a standard-issue magnetic iPhone charger at a budget price — $35.99. It rotates 360 degrees so you can use your phone in StandBy mode while it charges. Anker says it offers safeguards against common charger problems: “The MultiProtect system provides thorough safety measures including overcurrent and overvoltage protection, enhanced by ActiveShield 2.0 that monitors temperature 3,000,000 times per day.” It comes in black or white.

The MagGo Power Bank (10K Slim) also looks familiar to anybody familiar with MagSafe power banks. It does pack a punch when it comes to power capacity, though. And it looks plenty thin. It sells for $74.99 and comes in white and pink, with green available later this year.
