Anker is one of the most trusted names in charging gear, known for power banks, wall chargers and desk stations that manage heat well and last. Its charging docks fall into two families: wireless stands that you set your phone (and sometimes your watch and earbuds) on, and multi-port desktop stations that replace a tangle of plugs with one compact brick. Picking the right one comes down to the devices the person actually owns.
This guide covers six Anker chargers: a foldable 3-in-1 Qi2.2 wireless station, two Anker Prime GaN desktop stations (200W and 250W), a basic Qi wireless stand, a 9-in-1 desktop power strip and a MagGo 2-in-1 wireless stand. In one sentence, the wireless models differ in speed and how many devices they hold, while the desktop stations differ in total wattage, port count and whether they add AC outlets.

Anker Prime 25W Qi2.2 3-in-1 Foldable MagSafe Charger for Apple Households
Anker
Anker Prime 25W Qi2.2-Certified Palm-Sized 3-in-1 Foldable MagSafe Charger
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
Anker Prime 25W Qi2.2-Certified Palm-Sized 3-in-1
Best for: iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods owners who travel
Pros
- 25W Qi2.2 magnetic charging
- Folds to palm size
- AirCool runs at 19 dB
- 45W adapter and cable included
Cons
- Needs wall power, not a battery
- Not for Samsung watches
The Anker Prime 25W Qi2.2-Certified Palm-Sized 3-in-1 Foldable MagSafe Charger charges an iPhone, an Apple Watch and AirPods from one small station. Qi2 is the latest wireless charging standard, and it borrows the magnetic ring from Apple’s MagSafe, so the phone snaps into the right spot every time. Qi2.2 raises the speed to 25W; Anker says it charges an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in 26 minutes.
It folds to 3.74 by 2.38 by 1.22 inches and weighs 8.11 ounces, making it easy to pack. The AirCool system runs at 19 dB and aims to keep the phone below 98.6°F while charging. The box includes a 45W USB-C charger, a 5-foot USB-C cable, two anti-slip watch stickers and a 24-month warranty. It must stay plugged into the wall and is not a power bank, supports 110V to 220V input, and does not work with Samsung watches.
This is the easiest gift for someone who owns an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods and travels often. For a phone and earbuds only, the MagGo 2-in-1 stand is simpler. See our Anker magnetic charger guide for more MagSafe options.
Anker Prime Charging Station 200W for Two-Laptop Desks
Anker
Anker Prime Charging Station, 250W 6-Port GaN USB C Charger
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
Anker Prime Charging Station
Best for: Power users with a 16-inch laptop
Pros
- 250W across six ports
- 140W on the first USB-C
- LCD screen and control dial
- App control over Wi-Fi
Cons
- 4 GHz Wi-Fi only
- Heavier at 640 g
Best for: Desks with two laptops and phones
Pros
- 200W across six ports
- 100W each on two USB-C ports
- Temperature monitoring
- Compact 1.24 lb body
Cons
- Port mix not detailed
- Not meant for travel
The Anker Prime Charging Station, 200W, is a six-port GaN desktop charger. GaN (gallium nitride) is a material that lets chargers handle more power in a smaller body with less heat than older silicon designs. This station delivers 200W total, and when two USB-C ports are used together each can supply up to 100W; Anker says it can charge two 14-inch MacBook Pros to 50% in 28 minutes.
It measures 4.4 by 3.0 by 1.4 inches and weighs 1.24 pounds, with temperature monitoring to protect devices. It comes with a 5-foot AC cord and a 24-month warranty. The listing does not break down how many ports are USB-C versus USB-A, so check the photos if that matters. Anker notes it is built for the desk, not for travel.
It suits a shared home office or a couple who both charge laptops at the same desk. For a single large laptop that needs 140W, the 250W model is the better match.
Anker 313 Wireless Charger Stand for Simple Everyday Use
The Anker 313 Qi-Certified 10W Max Wireless Charger Stand is the basic option. It delivers up to 10W for Samsung Galaxy phones and 7.5W for iPhones, and works with Qi-certified devices across brands. You can charge in portrait for Face ID and messaging, or turn the phone sideways to watch videos.
It charges through cases up to 2.5 mm thick, but magnetic attachments, metal plates or cards can interfere. It uses a 3-foot Micro-USB cable, and a 9V/2A wall adapter is needed for the best speed but is not included. Anker says an iPhone 15 takes about 3 hours 47 minutes to charge. It has an 18-month warranty.
It suits a bedside table where overnight charging speed does not matter, or an Android user without MagSafe. For faster, magnetic iPhone charging, the MagGo stand is a clear step up.
Anker Prime Charging Station 250W for Power Users
The Anker Prime Charging Station, 250W, has four USB-C and two USB-A ports. The first USB-C port delivers up to 140W, enough to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50% in 25 minutes, according to Anker. It uses GaNPrime technology.
A 2.26-inch LCD shows charging status and speed, and a smart control dial lets you adjust output per device. Registering in the Anker app unlocks smart features over Wi-Fi, which supports 2.4 GHz only. It measures 4.18 by 1.58 by 3.64 inches and weighs 640 grams, designed for desks rather than travel. The “What You Get” list names the charger, welcome guide and 24-month warranty but does not mention a power cord.
It suits creatives and tech enthusiasts who want one hub for a big laptop, tablet, phone and accessories, and who enjoy seeing the numbers. If you do not need the screen or 140W, the 200W model is simpler. For single-port options, see our Anker GaN wall charger guide.

Anker Desktop Charger
Best for: Desks needing outlets plus USB ports
Pros
- 3 AC outlets and 6 USB ports
- 300J surge protection
- 100W on one USB-C port
Cons
- No wireless charging
- 100W shared overall per title
The Anker Desktop Charger is a 9-in-1 power strip: three AC outlets, four USB-C ports and two USB-A ports. The first two USB-C ports each support up to 100W when used alone, and the title rates it at 100W. It includes 300-joule surge protection, which absorbs power spikes, and an 8-point safety system against overvoltage and short circuits.
It weighs 19.75 ounces, heavy enough to stay put on a desk. It is the only model here with regular outlets, so it can power a lamp or monitor alongside phones and a laptop. The listing does not state the warranty length.
It suits a student desk or home office that needs both plugs and USB ports in one place. For more total USB power, choose a Prime station.
Anker MagGo 2-in-1 Qi2 Wireless Charging Stand for Phone and Earbuds
Best for: MagSafe iPhone users with wireless earbuds
Pros
- 15W Qi2 magnetic charging
- Swivels 360° and tilts 45°
- Dual status LEDs
Cons
- Adapter not included
- Not for smartwatches
The Anker MagGo 2-in-1 MagSafe Compatible Qi2 15W Wireless Charging Stand charges a phone and earbuds together. Anker says it charges an iPhone 15 Pro to 25% in 21 minutes. It rotates 360 degrees and tilts 45 degrees, and two LEDs show the status of each device.
It comes with a 5-foot USB-C cable and a 24-month warranty, but no adapter; Anker recommends 30W or higher. It is not for smartwatches.
It suits iPhone owners who do not wear a smartwatch. If they do, choose the Prime 3-in-1.
How to Choose the Right Anker Charger Dock
List the devices. iPhone, watch and AirPods point to the Prime 3-in-1. Phone and earbuds point to the MagGo 2-in-1. Laptops point to a Prime station.
Match the laptop wattage. A 14-inch laptop is well served at 100W per port; a 16-inch benefits from the 250W station’s 140W port.
Check what is in the box. The 313 and MagGo 2-in-1 need an adapter you supply.
Need outlets. Only the 9-in-1 Desktop Charger adds AC outlets. For charging away from the wall, look at an Anker portable charger power bank instead.
