Anker's 25W MagSafe 3-in-1 packs active cooling in a travel-sized design [Hands-on]

Anker just released a new 3-in-1 MagSafe charger that actually takes advantage of the iPhone 16's faster charging capabilities. If you've got an iPhone 16 or newer, this thing can hit the full 25W charging speed thanks to Qi2.2 support.

The standout feature here is the active cooling system built into a travel-friendly form factor. That's notable because faster charging generates more heat, and most portable chargers just let physics do its thing. Anker decided to add a fan to keep things running efficiently.

This matters if you're someone who relies on your phone for work and travels frequently. Faster charging means less downtime, and the 3-in-1 design means you can charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch from a single compact unit.

The Qi2.2 standard is still relatively new, so we're starting to see the first wave of chargers that can actually deliver on the iPhone 16's upgraded charging capabilities. Most older MagSafe chargers top out at 15W, so this is a meaningful jump if you're trying to minimize charging time.

Anker's calling this the Prime MagSafe 3-in-1, and the portable design suggests they're targeting people who want premium charging performance without lugging around multiple cables and bricks. The active cooling is the kind of detail that separates a good charger from one that'll actually maintain peak speeds consistently.
