The 10 Best iPhone Charging Stations (Which Can Charge Your Apple Watch And AirPods Too) (2024)

Available exclusively from Apple.com and Apple Stores, this Scosche BaseLynx charging system lies flat on any desktop or table, and then using a single cable, allows you to charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods and an iPad tablet at the same time. The best feature of this charging stand is that it’s expandable, so you can add modules to accommodate additional mobile devices.

The fast-charging wireless pad works with all mobile devices compatible with Qi wireless charging and will recharge your equipment up to three times faster than a regular charger. One five foot power cable is included, which is used to plug the charging system into an electrical outlet.

Expansion pads and vertical charging stations that allow you to expand your system to accommodate more devices are priced at $50 each. For someone with multiple Apple devices that need charging, this single desktop charging station is the best and most versatile option.

If you simply need to keep your iPhone charged while you’re working from a desk, and want something to prop up your smartphone while it’s charging, this single device charger from Belkin offers a great solution.

What's nice about this wireless charging pad is that you can position it at a variety of angles, it offers fast charging capabilities and it’ll work with any Qi-enabled devices—not just the iPhone. The drawback is that this stand only charges one device at a time.

Apple MagSafe Duo Charger

Because this is a genuine Apple product, you’ll pay the all too familiar “Apple tax” to own it. In other words, the price is a bit steep for a wireless MagSafe-compatible charging stand that will charge just two devices at once.

What is nice about this charger, however, is that you can use it with with any combination of the iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods, and it takes up minimal space on a desktop. It also has a foldable design, so you can pack it up and take it with you. A 3.28-foot USB-C to Lightning cable is included.

To make this charger a bit more appealing, for new subscribers only, you’ll receive a six month subscription to Apple Music and Apple News+ along with a three month subscription to Apple TV+ when you purchase this product.

Belkin MagSafe 2-in-1 Wireless Charger Stand

The best things about this 2-in-1 charging stand are that it is MagSafe compatible (so it’ll work even if your iPhone is within a compatible case), it takes up very little tabletop space and it can also be used with an Apple Watch or AirPods. While Belkin offers multiple charging stands, this one offers a minimalist design that’s functional and will look nice on your desk or nightstand.

A 3-in-1 version of this stand ($150)—also with fast charging capabilities—is available. Either version will hold your iPhone at the proper angle (in portrait mode) for you to participate in a FaceTime call, for example.

If you’re looking for a MagSafe-compatible iPhone charger that’ll literally fold flat for easy transport, but when in use will prop up your iPhone (in landscape mode) so you can watch a video, this is the charger stand for you. It comes with a five-foot-long removable cable, but an AC adapter is not included.

Using this ESR HaloLock charging stand, you’ll be able to charge, say, the iPhone 13 from zero to 100 percent in about 2.5 hours. Its sleek and modern aluminum unibody design will look great on your desk or nightstand.

Not only is this iPhone stand inexpensive, it’s also unique in that it’s made from Bamboo and has a totally different vibe than the more modern looking stands. This one uses a separate MagSafe power cable to simultaneously charge an iPhone and Apple Watch, so if you want to charge both devices at once, you’ll need to use two MagSafe cables.

Keep in mind, the MagSafe chargers needed to charge your devices are not included, so what you’ll get is just the stand that can fold up into three pieces for easy travel.

Here’s another charging stand that requires very little desk space and uses just one cable, but allows you to charge up to three devices at the same time. The silver and black design is modern looking, and as your iPhone and Apple Watch are charging, you’re easily able to see their respective screens.

The required 20W power adapter ($18) that plugs into the stand’s USB-C port (via the supplied cable) is sold seperately. When your device is magnetically linked with this stand, you can position it in either landscape or portrait mode, so you can easily watch a movie or participate in a FaceTime call, for example. The base of the stand weighs 1.6 pounds, so it won’t slide around on your desk or nightstand.

The biggest drawback to this stand is that you’ll likely need to remove your iPhone from its case to charge it using this (and many other) stands, unless the iPhone is housed within a MagSafe-compatible case.
