#The 7 Best Docks for Your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch – Review Geek

If you own an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and AirPods and you charge them all separately, you’re making more work for yourself. Instead, you can conveniently unload all your devices onto a single charging dock and never worry about anything not being charged.

What to Look for in a Charging Dock

There are a ton of options out there when it comes to devices that can charge all three of your most used Apple devices. But how do you decide which one’s right for you? Here’s what you should pay attention to when choosing a charging dock:

• Wireless Charging: Decide whether or not you want a charging station that charges your devices wirelessly or with cables. Wireless charging is more attractive and convenient, but you might not always get a sustainable or strong charging connection unless you spring for a premium charging dock. Alternatively, cable charging is a direct connection between the charger and your device, but you’ll have to deal with cable management.
• Charging Power: Think about whether you want your charging station to be able to accommodate fast charging at 10W. Most of the options on this list support fast charging as long as the device you’re using supports it as well.
• Compatibility: You’ll want to make sure your device is compatible with whatever charging station you want before purchasing it. And if you have a Series 12 iPhone that’s compatible with MagSafe charging, make sure you choose a charging dock that allows you to utilize that MagSafe charging, like the OLEBR charging stand.
• Size: Consider whether you’ll solely be using the charging station at home or whether you want to take it with you on the go. If you travel a lot, you might consider getting a more portable option that folds down into a smaller size and fits into travel bags.
• Style: Although style is maybe not the most important thing to consider when purchasing a charging dock for your devices, it is something that’s probably going to sit on your nightstand or somewhere else where you’ll see it all the time. So, you might as well make sure the one you’re buying fits your color scheme or decor style you have going on in your room.

There’s nothing too fancy about it, but it has the ability to charge all of your devices at once. It’s made of aviation aluminum, so it’s super solid and it has a non-slip, non-scratch design.

And although there’s no wireless charging, there is a cable hole for you to keep your cables looking neat. There are three small grooves in the cable hole that hold your cables in place so you never have to go searching for the right cable for each device. Everything will stay untangled and ready to use when you need it.

It’s compatible with the iPhone X, XS, XS Max, 8 Plus, 8, 7Plus, 7, 6S Plus, 6S, SE, and 5S; the iPad Pro 10.5, iPad Pro 9.7, iPad Air 2, iPad Air, and iPad mini 4, 3, 2, and 1; AirPods; and iWatch Series 4, 3, 2, and 1.

If you’re looking for a charging station that will support your Apple Watch, AirPods, and iPhone Series 12 with MagSafe Charging, check out this one from OLEBR.

Also, the MagSafe stand will work with all Qi-enabled phones, not just the iPhone Series 12. If you don’t have the MagSafe Charger, you can just set up this stand with your regular charging cables.
