Of all the features Apple has introduced to the iPhone in recent years, few have been as handy in my daily life as Standby Mode. This docking mode is fantastic if you want to use your phone as a smart watch or display ad hoc – that is, assuming you have the right desk accessory. Fortunately, Anker's Latest MagGo 2-in-1 Wireless Charger is available for $39.99 ($20 off) at amazon.com/gp/product/B0D2XYS4QC/?tag=theverge02-20″>amazon with a coupon on the page or from Anchor with offer code WSCPV22GRTOZ.
Much like previous models, Anker’s new charging stand isn’t particularly flashy. The sleek 2-in-1 contraption features a magnetic charging pad on top for charging MagSafe-compatible iPhones, and a slower charging pad on the bottom for supplying a pair of wireless earbuds and other accessories with up to 5W of power. The difference here is that the larger, adjustable pad supports the newer Qi2 standard, saving you from having to buy an official MagSafe-certified accessory just to achieve fast 15W charging speeds. The downside is that, at least right now, the only phones that support the open standard are phones in the iPhone 12, 13, 14, and 15 series. Well, that and the recently announced HMD Skyline, which, if I’m being totally honest, doesn’t really count. Get your act together, Google!.
