Hands-on With Belkin's Latest MagSafe Charging Stands, Power Banks, And More - 9to5Mac

Belkin’s always been a top accessory maker when it comes to MagSafe and Qi2 products for iPhone users, and these accessories are no different. For Black Friday, Belkin is offering some pretty compelling discounts on some of its leading charging accessories. I’ll be sharing my impressions here.

First of all, it’s worth noting that all of these products are Qi2, and not Qi2.2. That means if you have an iPhone 16 or 17 model, this won’t be the fastest charging tech you can get. Granted, Qi2 accessories are more affordable than Qi2.2 ones, so there is a benefit there. You can check out my hands-on of Anker’s Qi2.2 and ESR’s Qi2.2 charging stands if that interests you.

3-in-1 Charging Stand

Belkin’s 3-in-1 charging stand is a classic on the market, and for Black Friday, you can grab it for just $77 – around 30% off!

Its included non-removable charging cable is braided, which is a nice touch, there’s a 36W charging brick in the box.

As for the fit and finish, it isn’t too large, so if you have a tiny desk – you don’t have to worry about the footprint being too large. The MagSafe charging ring for the iPhone can also rotate, so if you need to adjust your iPhone a bit, that’s an option. It also comes with a nice silicone finish, rather than a glossy plastic. It looks quite nice.

For $77, it’s priced pretty affordably for a Qi2 3-in-1, and would make a great gift if this is what you’re after. It’s available in black and white.

8K Power Bank

If you’re after a larger than usual MagSafe power bank, Belkin’s 8K BoostCharge power bank could be a good choice for you. For Black Friday, you can grab one for 30% off at just $55.

Unlike a lot of options, this power bank comes with a kickstand. That’s rather nifty if you’re someone who wants to watch a YouTube video or whatnot while recharging your phone on the go. It also has LED charging indicators, and Belkin quotes up to 28 hours of battery life. The BoostCharge 8K comes with a USB-C charging cable in the box as well.

Since it’s 8K, it’s a bit thicker than usual, but it certainly isn’t overwhelming. You can pick it up in black or white.

3-in-1 Charging Pad

In a lot of ways, this Belkin 3-in-1 charging pad is similar to AirPower in premise. Obviously, you don’t have universal placement, but you do get 3 devices charging at once on a flat wireless charging pad you can place on your desk.

It’s rather low profile, and the Apple Watch charger attaches via a separate USB-C connection. This has a dual benefit, since you can detach the Apple Watch charger to connect to a USB-C power brick or a MacBook for discrete charging without a lengthy cable in the middle. Also, if you don’t own an Apple Watch, you can plug in an additional cable for charging another device.

For Black Friday, you can purchase the 3-in-1 version for $65. If you’re not an Apple Watch user or would prefer a simple 2-in-1, you can save a bit and get it for just $38. It’s available in black or white.

Magnetic Foldable Charger

This is a bit more niche of a product, but if you’re someone who wants a foldable MagSafe charging stand, this could be a neat product. For Black Friday, you can fetch one for just $25 – half off the typical price.

At that price, it comes with a USB-C charging brick and cable for that price, and just like everything else, supports 15W MagSafe charging.

If you’re someone who frequents coffee shops, works hybrid in office, or would otherwise like to have a convenient MagSafe charging stand you can easily fold up and throw into your bag – this is a great offering from Belkin.
