Over the years I have used a plethora of chargers but nothing like the Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger sold on Apple. It’s easy to get lost in the sea of cables and plugs. There is a charger cable for my headphones, Apple iWatch, iPhone, iPad, Laptop, and the list goes on. The solution? As a corporate pilot and constant traveler, I need something compact, efficient, and reliable. This charger checks all the boxes and then some. I’ll give some honorable mentions at the end of this review as the Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger might be a tad expensive for some.
Built for the Road
This isn’t just another charger tossed into your tech pouch. The Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger is designed for travelers who want one neat setup that just works.
- Here’s what’s included in the kit:
MagSafe charging pad for your iPhone (up to 15W) - Fast-charging pad for your Apple Watch (Series 7 and newer)
- Qi pad for your AirPods or any Qi-enabled earbuds
- 40W USB-C PD wall charger
- Interchangeable global plug heads (US, EU, UK, AU)
- Durable zippered travel case with a cable pocket and AirTag sleeve
Performance That Keeps Up With You
Whether I’m jet-lagged in Tokyo or delayed in Frankfurt, I know my gear will be fully charged overnight. The MagSafe pad aligns perfectly, charging your iPhone securely and quickly. And now, thanks to the 2023 update, the Apple Watch pad supports fast charging—a huge bonus when you’re short on time.
Want to use StandBy mode on iOS 17? Flip the iPhone horizontally while it’s docked, and it turns your device into a travel alarm clock. Smart and sleek.
Compact, Rugged, Ready to Go
The charger folds neatly into a compact square and fits snugly into the included travel case. It’s light, tough, and takes up way less space than carrying separate chargers.
The case even has a dedicated spot for an AirTag, so you can track it if you leave it behind at a hotel—or someone “accidentally” grabs it.
Pros
- Charges iPhone, Watch, and AirPods simultaneously
- Global plug adapters included
- Fast charge support
- Compact case included.
- Power adapter and chord included
Cons
- Premium price
- Doesn’t support older non-magsafe phones
Pro Travel Tip
I always carry a backup USB-C cable and plug—just in case. I’ve never had this charger fail on me, but having a plan B is part of staying travel-ready. And if you’re flying overseas, having all the right plug types in one bundle is huge.
Where to Get it
You can grab the Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger directly from Apple:
Or check your local Apple Store. I’ve seen it in stock in most major cities worldwide.
Some Alternatives
I haven’t used or tested some of these so buyer be cautioned. Cheaper adapters mean you risk having cords break, adapters wear out, and even worse, a potential for fire when pairing it to various volt outputs from different countries.
Final Thoughts
For frequent travelers, this isn’t just a convenience—it’s peace of mind. Whether you’re bouncing between time zones or just want to simplify your setup at home, the Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger is hands down one of the best gear upgrades I’ve made.
I use it every single trip—and it hasn’t let me down yet.
