Q&A
When you go to bed, there are usually two things that you put on charge at the same time — your iPhone, and your Apple Watch. There are plenty of docks that will fit an iPhone, and plenty that will fit an Apple Watch, but did you know that there are also plenty that will fit both?
To keep down the number of plugs you take up every night when you charge your stuff, a docking station that will charge both the best iPhones and Apple Watches is a great option. There are even options that add in a wireless charging coil to the equation for your AirPods, or another device. As a space-saving operation on what is usually a tight space (your nightstand), a multiple-device charger is perfect.
But which ones are the best? Thankfully, we at iMore have tested some of the best around, so we know which ones you should be looking at. Here are the best wireless chargers for multiple devices.
Quick list
Best Overall
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro is the perfect bedside companion. Your phone and Apple Watch are kept at a great angle so that you can see what's happening as they're charging, and there's a wireless charging coil in the base for your AirPods.
Best Compact
If you're looking for something with a small footprint on your desk, then the Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 charger is a very solid option. The Apple Watch charger is removable if you don't need it, and there's an AirPods charger on the bottom to keep them juiced up.
Best First Party
Sometimes, you just want the one that you can buy in the Apple Store when you get a new iPhone. Thankfully, this one is also really good — foldable, and it has an angled Apple Watch charging puck to go with its MagSafe iPhone charger.
Best Portable
The Twelve South Butterfly 2-in-1 is a great, portable charger that will fit in any bag or even pocket. It's a truly stunning little metal puck, that folds open to charge your devices with a little leather band.
Best Value
JoyGeek's wireless charging station is the cheapest on the list, making it perfect for charging on a budget. It's compact, with spots for your phone, watch, and AirPods. It doesn't fold up, but it won't take up too much of your nightstand space.
Best Versatility
This is a larger one, but it means that you can also charge an iPad or something slightly bigger. It's still a good size for a nightstand however, so if you have a greater range of devices, then this is the one for you.

Best For Travel
The Mophie 3-in-1 is a great travel option. It's slightly larger so it's not the most portable, but it will easily fit in a suitcase with all your stuff, and then charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods when you get to your destination.
Best For Desk
If you want something to sit on your desk, then this is the way to go. There are extra plug sockets on the back so that you can plug in other devices to charge, as well as power stuff like your monitor.
Most Stylish
The Nomad Stand One Max is a stunning piece to put on your nightstand. It sits on a metal plinth, and the arm that holds the Apple Watch puck shimmers like stainless steel. It's also a great charger, with space for three devices.
Most Flexible
This foldable charging stand has a built-in battery so that you're never left without power no matter where you go. there's space for two different devices as well, perfect for when you're traveling where there aren't any sockets.
Best Cooling
The Torras charger has built-in cooling so that your devices don't get too hot while charging. It also has room for three devices — an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and some AirPods.
Best Folding
The Ku Xiu charger folds in three sections, and has room to charge all of your devices. It's slim, which means you can slip it into a bag more easily, and plugs in with USB-C so you're almost guaranteed to have the right cable.
Best overall
As you can see in our review of the Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe, it's one of the only wireless charging stations we've seen that elevates both the iPhone and the Apple Watch in a front-facing, easy-to-access position. This charging stand uses iPhone MagSafe technology and the Apple Watch's built-in magnets to elevate the devices. It also has a charging pad on the base for Apple AirPods, so you can charge all of your devices at once.
The beauty of this charger is that you can continue to use the iPhone and Apple Watch while they charge because of the conveniently mounted position. It also supports Nightstand Mode on the Apple Watch so the watch can continue to display the time as long as it's mounted on the charger. The streamlined design comes in two colors and fits into most interior styles. This is the perfect charging station for any Apple lover's bedside table.
This sleek charging station from Belkin can charge three devices simultaneously, supporting both MagSafe and Nightstand Mode.
Most compact
With a clever modular design and an upright orientation, the Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station effortlessly fits into your home and living space. It doubles up as a viewing stand for your iPhone while also allowing you to charge three devices at once including a MagSafe compatible iPhone, Apple Watch and MagSafe compatible AirPods. If needed, you could also charge a second iPhone instead of AirPods if you happen to have two iPhones in your household. You can also detach the Apple Watch charging plate at any time.
You'll need to add on a wall plug when buying this, but that's worth it given how neat and stylish this station is. Being able to detach the Apple Watch charging plate and clip it on the side of your MacBook is a nice extra bonus that could be essential depending on your situation.
Best first party
The foldable Apple MagSafe Duo Charger is extra-small and pocketable. The double wireless charger lies flat as it simultaneously charges your iPhone and Apple Watch. When it's not in use, you can fold it down into an even smaller size that's easy to carry in your bag or pocket. Since it's equipped with MagSafe, it aligns automatically with any MagSafe-enabled iPhone for optimal charging, and the Apple Watch charging connector flips up so you can charge your watch in Nightstand Mode.
Even though it doesn't charge more than two devices at once, you can also use the wireless charging pad to charge any Qi-enabled device, such as AirPods. Despite the compact size of this charger, it is powerful, with charging speeds of up to 14W. Keep in mind that if you don't already own a 20W USB-C charging adapter, you will need to buy one to use with this device.
Take this dual charger anywhere with its flat-folding design. The MagSafe Duo Charger will charge your iPhone and Apple Watch.
Best portable
One of the best bits of the Twelve South ButterFly 2-in-1 MagSafe charger is its unique, folding design. It folds in two, connected in the middle with a slim leather strap. It's a lovely thing to look at, its aluminum shell sand blasted for a stunning finish. It feels every bit worth its high price point, and will blend in perfectly with any decor.
It does charge two devices at once, so you're not going to have room for the likes of AirPods or an iPad. If you just need something that looks nice and will charge your iPhone and Apple Watch, then you're in for a treat.
Best value
Wireless charging stations don't generally come cheap, but JoyGeek's Wireless Charging Station comes in at a surprisingly affordable price point. Despite its low price and compact size, this dock can charge the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. The streamlined design keeps each device stacked up in a space-saving tower.
Although this charging station is not MagSafe-compatible, it can charge through the back of most cases, so you won't need to remove the case of your iPhone. It supports fast charging and Nightstand Mode, so you can expect the same quality charging experience as with more expensive charging docks.
This affordable charging station from JoyGeek can handle an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously.
Best Versatility
If you and your family have many Apple devices spread out across several people, a standard charging station might not be enough. This modular charging system from Scosche allows you to attach multiple charging docks as needed so you can charge as many devices as you need. The standard kit comes with one charging pad for iPhone, one Apple Watch charging pad, multiple charging ports for wired charging, and a vertical storage system to place multiple iPads or iPhones.
If that's not quite enough for your family, you can buy more charging pads for the iPhone, Watch, or AirPods and connect them to the same modular system. Since it supports wired charging as well, the options are pretty limitless. Keep all of your family's devices organized and charged with this modular kit.
Charge as many devices as you need with this modular charging system. Don't have enough charging pads? Simply add more!
Best For Travel
Here's a compact travel charger that folds down to a tiny size and comes with its own travel case. The mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger can be used anywhere that provides access to a power outlet, and it can charge an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously.
This is an excellent companion to take along on long trips, especially if you're looking to travel light. It folds down and fits into a carry case that's only a few inches across so you can easily stuff it into a bag or pocket. According to our product reviewers, if you have multiple Apple devices and like to travel, the mophie Travel Charger is a must-have charging accessory.
Due to its smart design, you can just fold the mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger up into the small carry case, throw it in a bag, and be on your way.
Best for desk
In my opinion, there are few accessories that are more convenient for your work desk than a compact charging station. In our review of the Anker 637, we found that it's an excellent way to keep all your devices (and I do mean ALL) plugged into one convenient power source. It will eliminate that pesky "chair wheels running over the power cord" debacle. This one is made even more convenient by the addition of a MagSafe wireless charging stand that holds up your iPhone at an easy-to-view angle as it charges.
With the Anker 637, you can charge up to seven devices at once, including your MagSafe-compatible iPhone. It even has three 1250W AC ports for bigger devices like your MacBook or monitor. In addition, there are two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, so you'll be hard-pressed to find a device that you can't charge with the Anker 637.
Organize your desktop charging situation with the Anker 637. It can charge seven devices at once, including bigger devices like MacBooks.
Most stylish
This is a gorgeous, classy MagSafe charger with a lot of heft. It comes in two colors, Carbide (which is basically black) and Silver (which is both silver and white.) As mentioned in our NOMAD Stand One Max review, it works great for charging your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, though it has one design flaw. While you can indeed use both StandBy and Nighstand Mode, you cannot use them at the same time. In fact, when you charge your iPhone horizonally, the Apple Watch doesn't even fit on the charger. Still, the elegant style would make a great addition to any decorative style.
Most Flexible
This handy MagSafe two-in-one charger can be used either plugged in at home or office, or as a power bank anywhere. It's a 10,000 mAh battery that charges your iPhone and Apple Watch at once. As noted in our OtterBox 2-in-1 Power Bank with MagSafe review, you can fold it different ways, depending on how you want to use it. Open it to use as a charging stand; your iPhone can charge either vertically or horizontally in StandBy mode. Or close it to use as a charging pad for your iPhone; in that shape the Apple Watch charger pops up so you can use Nightstand Mode.
Best cooling
In our TORRAS 3-in-1 Charging Station with MagSafe review, we raved about the flexibility and iPhone cooling mechanism. After all, overheating is a big source of battery deterioration. The charger opens up to use as a phone stand and folds flat for portability. Charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once. Use StandBy and Nighstand Mode. Perhaps coolest of all, the Apple Watch charger can be removed entirely; it has a USB-C plug so it can be plugged into the wall or your laptop for charging on its own.
Best folding
It's clear from our KU XIU 3-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Wireless Charger review that we really liked this MagSafe charger for travel. It folds up neatly into a little cube and comes with a sturdy carrying case that fits the included cable and wall charger as well. Charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods on the go or anywhere; it looks cute on a desk or nightstand as well. You can use Standby mode with your iPhone but not Nightstand Mode on your Apple Watch. Still, the reasonable price point and foldability make this a strong contender.
