Anker MagGo with Qi2 vs Cube with MagSafe! Which 3-in-1 is Best?

Glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

Hello in the Philippines! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

Yeah it’s really great portability wise. Super compact for a 3 in 1 ✌🏻

Thanks Paul, yeah Qi is pronounced as “Chee” ✌🏻

i wish it was Hermès 👀 it’s a lookalike Apple sport band I got off Amazon a lonngg time ago after they stopped selling the orange one I liked. I like orange 😄
Thanks for watching!

It’s just a generic Qi charger I bought ages ago! Just looked it up on my old Amazon orders and it’s no longer on the store.. But there are a few similar looking ones on Amazon if you like that style!

@@JCKRGB Wow it’s really kind that you actually checked!

@ChudDin You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

Thanks Ferno! Yeah I’m still holding onto to my Series 5 which only just gets me through the day.. 🪫😄
Seems like so few third party chargers are supporting 7.5W fast charging for the Watch still..
Hope it gets added in a refresh. Thanks for watching mate! ✌🏻

Towards the bottom of the page it says the Max Output for the Apple Watch charger is 5W. 7.5W is needed for what Apple calls Fast Charging. I have a Series 5 🥲 so I’ve not been able to properly test it, but based on the specs it doesn’t support what Apple calls Fast Charging ✌🏻

@@JCKRGB Wow that's pretty duplicitous on Anker's part because they say "uses officially certified Apple fast charging technology" in the watch chargine section near the top. I ordered one this morning specifically after seeing that. Bummer to hear that they were being kinda shady about that.

I just returned my cube because it was charging my ultra 2 slower than the supplied apple cable, and the watch was getting significantly hotter on the cube charger. I bought the newer MagGo thinking it supported fast charging for the watch (like the cube) with its 40w brick (versus 30w for the cube). If it doesn’t support fast charging I’ll have to do some testing to see if the older cube is the better fit.

@@dijital4588how did it charge on the MagGo? I just ordered the cube but I have the ultra 2 as well !

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

True! Will be nice to have the magnets built-in as Qi2 becomes more widely adopted ✌🏻

@@JCKRGBagree! It's still a pain but at least it's doable.

Yeah this has to be plugged into the wall, it’s not a battery. Haven’t seen anything like this which is battery powered but maybe there’s something out there!
The Apple MagSafe battery pack can only charge 1 iPhone or wireless AirPods case at a time. Anker’s own MagGo batteries can charge a phone + something else wired at the same time ✌🏻

​@@JCKRGB Thank you

yes

For the new Qi2 power banks, they’ll charge an iPhone faster as they now support 15W up from 7.5W.
The input on the USB-C port is still 20W so it’ll recharge in about the same time.
As for the 10,000mAh, there will always be some power lost through heat with wireless charging. And you can’t directly compare the mAh between a battery and device to know how many charges you’ll get as the different batteries have different volts and amps.
I’m still testing the new Qi2 power banks but loving them so far - hopefully have more details in my next vid! ✌🏻

@@JCKRGB The 533 works weird. My phone (S23+) says it takes about 40 mins to charge from 20 to 100% but the powerbank says it takes 50 minutes juice left. So charging a 5000 mAh battery is all the capacity it has. That is not power loss, it is not efficient at all. I love Anker but my PD charges do a better job.

Haven’t tried these yet but Anker has new single Qi2 chargers as well!

@@JCKRGB ok cheers for getting back to me

I think for a couple reasons. The Cube is MagSafe certified and companies need to pay to be in Apple’s Made for iPhone program. Qi2 is based off MagSafe but it’s now an open standard so no fee for Apple.
And also, the Cube is a lot heavier. It feels like there’s a big chunk of metal inside to keep it weighted down on the desk which could also add to the cost.
Could be wrong, but those are my thoughts! ✌🏻

My concern is removing the phone from the dock. Since it’s light the stand also lift. Any good technique? I want to like this product but i need to mind how i remove my phone.

@@syunukiyaPull the phone downward instead of upward.

The Anker Cube is not only larger but is made out of mostly metal, whereas the Mag Go 3 in 1 is made out of mostly cheaper plastic.

If you scroll down to the specs it has the Max output for each charger, 15W for the Qi2, 5W for the Qi, and 5W for the Watch.
Apple says 7.5W fast charging for Series 7 and later should get it from 0 to 80% in about 45mins.
support.apple.com/en-gb/102454
Anker’s using a different time scale but it doesn’t look like it would lineup with hitting 80% after 45mins if it’s taking 30 mins to get to 47%. Especially as charging tends to slow down after 50%
My Series 5 doesn’t support fast charging and its battery is dying so I can’t properly test it 🥲Hope that helps! ✌🏻

@@JCKRGBthank you for your great explanation! I have an SE and an S8 so I will give it a test but I will also reach out to Anker cause that marketing is a little misleading 😂

@jacobbommarito Nice one! Let me know the result! ✌🏻

Thank you! Hahaha I’ve been waiting for you to comment! ✌🏻

@@JCKRGB 🤦🏻‍♀️

They both have 5W Apple Watch Chargers. For fast charging they need to be 7.5W ✌🏻

Yes I see what you mean but originally it was 2.5W I think, or at least that was the charge delivered by a previous charger and then later it went to 5W but now is 7.5W. For me I have found 5W charging on the cube works fine but everyone has different needs 😊

@@Simonal777 Yeah it doesn’t feel slow. I still have a Series 5 which doesn’t even have fast charging 😄 It seems that very few third party Apple Watch chargers support 7.5W!

Yes totally agree I have an Ultra and it takes about 1.5 hours or less to charge, normally charging it from around 20-25% so I reduce stress on the battery by not going to the extreme, and it seems fast enough for me too. But I am sure there is a case for faster and faster charging…😂😂😂 thanks for the review.

@Simonal777 Yeah, and faster charging can reduce battery health more quickly so it’s all a trade off. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

Yeah that’s crazy. Qi2 will be starting at 15W but they’ve said it’ll increase in future. Got some catching up to do 👀

sadly its aftermarket price and battery degradation moves as fast as that 80w charging

@@jayar8866no need to be so jealous. Nothing degrades more than an iphone battery.

They work just fine in landscape in my use ✌🏻

No problems here. Sure you didn’t just misalign the MagSafe magnets?

Not really. They’re not paying me to make a video, or to say what they want ✌🏻

@@JCKRGB Understood, however in my opinion sending an object for free is still a form of payment. I don't know if you'll send it back. though could still create a favorable opinion. Not saying that you did, but good to show for transparency

Anyway it's just detail. Good video

@carlovigna3545 I think it’s fair to say being sent a product is product placement, as maybe I would never have made a video on it. But in this case I probably would have bought it anyway with the number of Anker things I buy 😄💀
But being sent the product itself isn’t gonna pay my bills.. and I’ll always give my honest thoughts in a review regardless!
And I’m always up front in saying if something is sent to me for free or not. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

I turn on a Focus Mode when I’m filming which turns off notifications etc. I named the Focus Mode JCKRGB which then appears on the Lock Screen! ✌🏻

Thank you!

Great video also! It was very helpful

@@MrZenkiboy123thanks so much for watching!
