Foldable 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station Review: The Ultimate Apple Accessory?

In today’s tech-driven world, where Apple users juggle multiple devices, the need for an efficient charging solution has never been greater. The Foldable 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station promises to be the ultimate charging hub for Apple enthusiasts, offering a sleek, versatile, and powerful way to keep your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods charged simultaneously. After extensive testing, here’s my comprehensive review of this magnetic charging station.

Design and Build Quality

Right out of the box, the UEQ 3-in-1 wireless charging station impresses with its premium aesthetic. The pure black glossy finish gives it a sophisticated, modern look that complements any space. The build quality feels substantial without being bulky—exactly what you’d expect from a higher-end charging accessory.

The innovative foldable design is genuinely practical. When folded, it measures approximately 5.9 x 2.9 x 1.2 inches—nearly the size of an iPhone 15 Pro—and weighs about 300 grams. This makes it genuinely portable for travel, unlike many competitors’ bulky solutions. The hinge mechanism feels robust and should withstand regular folding without loosening over time.

What’s particularly clever is how the Apple Watch module and iPhone module can fold down, while the AirPods charging pad remains stationary. This creates a lower profile for travel while maintaining functionality. The anti-slip bottom pad is thoughtfully applied and keeps the entire unit firmly in place, even when removing your phone with one hand—a common frustration with lighter charging stands.

Performance and Charging Speed

The performance claims are impressive, and in my testing, they hold up remarkably well. The manufacturer claims the station can fully charge an iPhone 16 and Apple Watch S10 in approximately 1.5-2.0 hours, compared to around 3.5 hours for non-Apple alternatives. My real-world testing confirmed these numbers, with charging speeds that genuinely feel faster than standard wireless chargers.

The built-in N52 magnets create an exceptionally strong connection with compatible iPhones. The magnetic alignment is nearly instantaneous—place your phone near the charging area, and it snaps into perfect position every time. This not only ensures optimal charging but also speeds up the process by maintaining ideal positioning throughout the charge cycle. The increased efficiency of 25% mentioned in the specifications is noticeable; devices charged on this station do seem to reach full battery slightly faster than when using other wireless chargers.

For the Apple Watch, the magnetic alignment is equally effective, though you’ll need to ensure your watch is facing the correct direction (with the crown to the right when viewed from the front). The AirPods charging pad works reliably with both the AirPods Pro and standard AirPods with wireless charging cases.

One standout feature is the station’s versatility in orientation. The iPhone charging area supports both horizontal charging—perfect for watching videos or using your phone as a bedside clock—and vertical charging for FaceTime calls and general use. This flexibility, combined with the adjustable viewing angles of both the phone and watch modules, makes this dramatically more functional than fixed-position alternatives.

Safety Features

Safety is paramount with any charging device, and this station delivers comprehensive protection. The intelligent protection technology includes over-voltage and over-current protection, which safeguards your devices’ battery health by preventing excessive power delivery. Temperature control mechanisms keep your phone and other devices from overheating during extended charging sessions—a common concern with wireless charging.

Additional safety features include short-circuit protection and foreign object detection, which prevents the charger from attempting to charge non-compatible items or items with metal objects between them and the charging surface. These protections are reassuring when leaving valuable devices charging overnight or while unattended.

The LED indicator light deserves special mention. It’s designed to be “weak” or dim during charging, which is a thoughtful touch for bedside use. Some charging stations feature glaring lights that can disrupt sleep in dark rooms, but this one maintains a subtle presence that won’t disturb your rest.

Compatibility and Limitations

It’s important to note this charger’s compatibility specifics. The manufacturer clearly states this is a magnetic wireless charger designed specifically for iPhone 12 and later models. During testing, it worked flawlessly with iPhone 12 through iPhone 15 models, as well as the latest iPhone 16 series. However, older iPhone models and Android phones without MagSafe compatibility won’t benefit from the magnetic alignment feature, though they might still charge (albeit less efficiently) when placed properly on the pad.

The same compatibility applies to the Apple Watch and AirPods—you’ll need appropriate Apple devices for full functionality. The charger supports all Apple Watch series from S4 through S11, including SE and Ultra models, as well as AirPods Pro and standard AirPods with wireless charging cases.

One consideration: while the charger can work through phone cases, the manufacturer recommends Apple’s official magnetic cases for optimal performance. Cases thicker than 2.5mm or non-magnetic cases may reduce charging efficiency or prevent proper magnetic alignment. Standard cases around 1-2mm worked fine in my testing, but I did notice slower charging speeds with thicker cases.

Portability and Travel Friendliness

As someone who frequently travels for work, I appreciate when a charging solution balances functionality with portability. This 3-in-1 station strikes that balance exceptionally well. The foldable design transforms what could be a cumbersome multi-device charging setup into something that easily fits in a backpack or carry-on without taking up excessive space.

The inclusion of a 20W USB-C wall charger and a USB-C to C cable (0.93 meters/1 meter) means you have everything needed for a complete setup right in the box. However, if you’re traveling internationally, you’ll need appropriate plug adapters, which isn’t ideal but is consistent with most electronic devices.

The station’s stability, thanks to its weighted base, means you don’t have to worry about it being flimsy in transit or on hotel nightstands. This is a significant upgrade over some travel chargers that feel fragile or unstable regardless of where you use them.

Real-World Usage Scenarios

Having tested this charging station in various settings, it proves versatile across different environments:

On a desk: The adjustable viewing angles make it perfect for keeping an eye on notifications while working. The iPhone sits at an ideal angle for both viewing and quickly accessing touch controls.

Beside the bed: The sleep-friendly LED and compact footprint mean it won’t clutter your nightstand. The ability to charge horizontally is perfect for using your phone as a clock or alarm with the screen visible at night.

In the living room: Its stylish design means it doesn’t look out of place on side tables or media consoles, and the magnetic alignment makes it easy for family members to place their phones correctly without thinking about it.

For travel: The folded profile is genuinely compact, and the ability to charge all three major Apple devices from a single outlet is invaluable when hotel rooms have limited power outlets.

What’s in the Box

The complete package includes:

• UEQ 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger Stand
• 20W USB-C wall charger
• USB-C to C cable (1 meter)
• User manual
• Friendly customer service

The thoughtful inclusion of everything needed to get started immediately is appreciated, though I would have liked a longer cable option for desktop use where the power outlet might be further away.

Final Thoughts

The Foldable 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station delivers on its promises with impressive charging speeds, rock-solid magnetic alignment, thoughtful design features, and comprehensive safety protections. The quality of construction, performance efficiency, and practical portability make it stand out in a crowded market of wireless charging solutions.

The $69.99 price point represents good value considering you’re getting three high-quality charging modules with intelligent features. While there are cheaper alternatives, few match the combination of MagSafe compatibility, foldable design, and charging performance offered here.

Minor drawbacks include the limited Android compatibility (though this is clearly an Apple-focused product, so this may not matter to the target audience) and the lack of a longer cable option in the base package. However, these are small considerations against the overall package.

For Apple users with multiple devices who value both form and function, this charging station represents one of the most complete solutions available. Whether you need something for travel, a tidy desk solution, or a bedside charging hub, this versatile device delivers on multiple fronts with style and reliability.
