Yes, it does remind me of a macaron.

IFA 2024: the biggest announcements and coolest gadgets

see all updates

At IFA 2024, Anker announced a slate of new charging accessories, including a new portable 3-in-1 Qi2 charger. The new MagGo 3-in-1 foldable pad unravels into three wireless pucks tethered by rubbery straps: a Qi2-certified 15W charger on one end; a 5W Apple-certified Apple Watch charger on the other; and a 5W Qi puck in the middle that also houses the USB-C power input port.

The new Anker 3-in-1 seems inspired by Twelve South’s Butterfly charger design, including its ability to fold back as a kickstand for an iPhone while charging. Still, the Butterfly only charges an iPhone and Apple Watch. Anker’s charger is available today for pre-order on Anker’s website for $89.99 (also on Amazon) and comes in black, white, and pink, with a green colorway launching “after October.”

It covers the Apple trifecta.

Anker also has a new MagGo Qi2 charging stand ($35.99) (also on Amazon) with a satisfyingly tactile — if overengineered — rotating and tilting head that holds your iPhone at any desired angle. It’s specifically weighted for iPhones, as I found when I tried using it with my Pixel 8 Pro in a magnetic Dbrand ghost case. (It’s fine...) It couldn’t keep my top-heavy Pixel horizontal. The white colorway is available now; you can get the black in pre-order.

Anker has its own MagSafe grip case with a fold-out “360” ring that lets you stand it up at any angle; it now comes in multiple shades, including clear and gray, and has “iPhone 16” lineup versions in pre-order for a cheaper $32.99 price tag on Anker’s website. Another update is with the MagGo power bank ($74.99) (also on Amazon), which is now slimmer than last year and fits nicely on the back of every recent iPhone that isn’t a Mini. The black devices are in pre-order; the white are available now.

Anker’s last new accessory is a 30W MagGo power bank, which shares a similar form factor with Anker’s Fusion tethered USB-C power pack but includes a flip-up Apple Watch fast charger (and no AC pins, so charge it with another adapter). It’s available now for $79.99 on Anker’s website and Amazon.
