I think some designs choose to put the LED on the back, with the thinking that most people will be using the cube near where they're sleeping, and the LED might be kinda annoying in that situation.
I don't mind where the LED is. Not only is it good in a bedside table situation, I think the LED is on the back because it only comes on briefly & then dims when you first plug it in and when you're using the non-MagSafe wireless charging pad. And if you're charging your phone, the phone would block the LED anyways. I love the size of it, I'd use it as my travel charger. Great vid!
I think LED is on the back, to not shine in your eyes in bed. So it has a light, and in the dark I think you will be able to see if from the front, but if it shines, it’s not bothering you on the front. I like it.
In regards to the LED in the back and not in the front. Makes more sense since the IPhone basically makes it disappear once on the cube. You still wouldn’t be able to see it. I would recommend to put the LED around the bottom like they have it on there 2in1 cylinder shape charging station. It would glow once on the charger. I have the cube and the cylinder and live them both!
Anker’s always made amazing charging applications, and I’ve also heard mostly good things about their headphones. If it wasn’t for the hefty price tag, this would be something I’d get.
This is such an amazing charger and feels so premium. It's so compact it takes such little space that even though I don't travel it was the choice for me. It replaced my belkin pro pad right away and It also charges my apple watch pretty fast, so it's definetly using fast charging for it.
As far as the LED being on the back- All 3 (iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods) have on board visual and audible indicators to let you know that it's connected so you really don't need an LED on the charger itself other than to let you know it's drawing power, and having it on the back keeps any lights from distracting you in the dark.
Looks like a great travel charging block but the hefty price tag is a miss for me. At home I use the 1st gen Belkin Boost Pro. I love the stylish vibe and having a charger that's 100% magsafe is a total game changer 🙌🏽
Great video man!! I’ve debating grabbing this… like a previous comment said, one of those things you want but don’t need!! Thanks for the constant content! You kill it each and every time!
The thing I love about this is you can use it on your bed side or take it with you on travel. That’s already a convenient for me. I don’t want to buy only for at home or only for travel I want both.
This is one of those things you want but don’t need. If I had money to burn I’d have one in every room. It would be nice to have a charger with adjustable power; if I’m in no hurry it could trickle charge but in a pinch it could be turned up to 20 watts.
just a quick check in, this was made of metal on the outer construction right? i just got one and it feels like it’s plastic and lighter than what i remember. just wanna make sure i’m not losing my mind. thanks tee
The LED in the back is a win, some people may use it on their nightstands and the light may be a bother. I got one from amazon for like $30 and I HATE seeing the light from across the room. Terrible. I know the one I bought may not charge as fast as the anker one, BUT, the bottom (where the airpods are supposed to charge) can charge another iphone. So my stand charges 2 iphones and an apple watch at the same time each night. I love it. My earbuds and watch dont need to be plugged daily so this makes a lot of sense for me. I wonder if this cube can do the same. Have you reviewed the triangle that anker has? "Anker 737 MagGo Charger (3-in-1 Station)"
Great review and walkthrough of this! I was on the fence given the price, but you answered all the concerns I had, like if it could easily tip over, slide around, etc. Thanks!
I always got burned with using Anker’s 3in1 because it just did not charge my AirPods Pro. It was so finicky with that qi pad even though they made it for the AirPods case shape. Nowadays my 3in1 has MagSafe for both phone and AirPods
I was waiting so long for this product to come back in stock from anker but I got tired of waiting and decided to look for something else and came across the journey 3 and 1 charger and I couldn’t be happier and with the discount I got it around $90. Both products are good and can’t go wrong with both. The anker charger would of been great for travel tho.
Hi, Tee! I have a question for you if you don't mind. I bought the Cube for an Iphone 15 pro max but it charged it from 20% to 80% in 2h.06 min. How is this fast charging? Wired, with a Thunderbolt 3 cable, the phone charged in 44 minutes. I don't understand how there can be such a significant gap between the two. Thanks!
This thing might also charge your electric toothbrush lol. I saw on reddit that electric toothbrushes, from more brands than one, could be charged using the pixel watch charger, so it might also work with the airpods or apple watch wireless charger. That would be dope for travel
It looks nice the only downside for me its the wattage I like it if it had more watts on it,what about if you add a 100w brick would it help to charge quicker
LED in the front would be very obnoxious at night when you are trying to sleep. Honestly I'd prefer no LED at all since checking your phone is sufficient to determine if the power is connected. I always put tapes over any LED if a charger came with it.
I kind of like the LED on the back because it could get distracting at night if it’s bright. Some accessories have an LED that will light up the whole room, so I kind of get why they did that.
Great video review - thanks, @TechnicallyTee. Would you or someone else be able to confirm whether or not the AirPods case (on the magnetic side) get and stay really warm during and after charging? I currently have the Belkin 3-in-1 charger and my AirPods (gen 3) get and stay really warm - this seems to be an issue with this particular charger (this is my second one, after exchanging recently.) I'm thinking of exchanging the Belkin for this one. * Update *: I just purchased this and confirmed with an infrared thermometer (before and after) - every charging area is 20 degrees F warmer (with an iPhone 14 Pro, Apple Watch Series 6 and AirPods 3.) 😔
LED on the back is where it should be. I don't want that thing lighting up the room when I'm trying to sleep. I'd be putting tape over it if it was on the front. Better yet take it out completely
Damn, cool device, albeit expensive for my liking. I would totally use this, if it had a Galaxy Watch charger (and if it wasn't so expensive lol). I have a magsafe ring sticker thing on my S22 so I could totally use this with my Samsung ecosystem, phone, galaxy buds, galaxy watch
Are you saying that this will not charge a Samsung Galaxy watch 5 Pro? That's the only Samsung component that I'm concerned about because I know the other two will work.
Thanks Tee for the review looks cool always good to see more MagSafe options coming to the market and handy to use when charging it overnight will be trying the new standby clock mode with the iOS update when using it on its side.
This is a bit late, but I am also using the Pitaka Case (with built-in magnets) on my Airpods Pro 2, and I am finding that when I put the Airpods Pro 2 on the wireless charger (non-magsafe) it doesn't actually charge and it shows an orange LED. I left it on there overnight and my Airpods Pro 2 case was not charged at all. However when I take the Pitaka case off, it works fine. Is anyone else experiencing this?
almost all my charging gadgets are from Anker and I just got this cube a few minutes ago but was disappointed with the magnetic strength. mine definitely wasnt able to carry the cube using the magnetic force.
Will this charge a Samsung Galaxy watch 5 Pro? I know I can get the magsafe to work with my S23 Ultra and I'm assuming the charge pad will also do my Galaxy buds 2 Pro. My only concern is the watch. Can anyone confirm or deny if this will work?
You can't change the watch with the watch charger on this unit. You can charge your S23U via wireless on the main top pad, just have to get alignment right and you can charge your buds with either pad.
I think its the same reason you have your lights aimed at the wall. its bc no one want a bright A LED shining on your bed side but a little on the wall is ok
I think some designs choose to put the LED on the back, with the thinking that most people will be using the cube near where they're sleeping, and the LED might be kinda annoying in that situation.
Yeah true but make it ambient like most chargers like this does.
This is exactly what I was thinking.. I like it on the back. The devices will let you know right away if there's power when you put one on.
I have this .The light only turns on when the AirPods is charging.
Not me but my 80 year old father has a sensitivity to light when he goes to bed at night.
@@TocSlewhandy to know 👍
Been using it for 4 months now, so good, no issues, fast charge your apple watch, good for bedside charging solution
Absolutely
Just picked this up and I love it. It’s perfect for overnight charging on the nightstand exactly where I need it.
I don't mind where the LED is. Not only is it good in a bedside table situation, I think the LED is on the back because it only comes on briefly & then dims when you first plug it in and when you're using the non-MagSafe wireless charging pad. And if you're charging your phone, the phone would block the LED anyways. I love the size of it, I'd use it as my travel charger. Great vid!
Yeah that's true it doesn't stay on so that works but they could've put it on the front and made it ambient I feel.
I think LED is on the back, to not shine in your eyes in bed.
So it has a light, and in the dark I think you will be able to see if from the front, but if it shines, it’s not bothering you on the front.
I like it.
Yeah Im just like we'll make it ambient but that might raise the price even more.
High key bought this after this video. The fact you can take this with you and it’s small as hell. 👍🏼
Yeah it's a nice little product. Glad you grabbed it because these things are always out of stock.

Great video man!! I’ve debating grabbing this… like a previous comment said, one of those things you want but don’t need!! Thanks for the constant content! You kill it each and every time!
yeah for sure I get it. You have to have a need to grab one but it's a good one, but also an expensive one lol. Thanks bro much appreciated! 💪🏽💪🏽
Great video! I'm thinking about a 3-in-1 for my girlfriend and didn't know this option was out there.
Also, your cameras and lighting are on point!!
Yeah it’s a great option for sure and I appreciate it!!
Truly a versatile charging solution for bedroom, office or traveling and with a premium feel too!! Well worth the $150.
The thing I love about this is you can use it on your bed side or take it with you on travel. That’s already a convenient for me. I don’t want to buy only for at home or only for travel I want both.

just a quick check in, this was made of metal on the outer construction right? i just got one and it feels like it’s plastic and lighter than what i remember. just wanna make sure i’m not losing my mind. thanks tee
This guy's channel is so underrated.
Haha thanks I appreciate it! Just trying to make it.
@@TechnicallyTee I feel ya brother. You got another sub.
Honestly, I'm surprised that Anker placed the LED on the back but definitely a great compact option for travel.
Yeah I know they probably did it because it would be bedside at night but just make it an ambient light.
Been using it for about a week now and absolutely love it. Question real quick though, what watch band is that for your Ultra? Looks clean.
I agree with the size issue. That’s why I’d still pick a charging pad over this.
Yeah it's for sure a little tight but works well.

I’m still looking for a good solid multi charger for my Apple devices that won’t hurt my battery health. Thanks for the great content bro💯💪
This would get the job done if you don't mind the price! 💪🏽💪🏽
I always got burned with using Anker’s 3in1 because it just did not charge my AirPods Pro. It was so finicky with that qi pad even though they made it for the AirPods case shape. Nowadays my 3in1 has MagSafe for both phone and AirPods
I just got mine in yesterday from Apple. This thing is 🔥 and legit! So glad I got it!
Would a 14 pro max touch the surface of the desk or bedside table?
I was waiting so long for this product to come back in stock from anker but I got tired of waiting and decided to look for something else and came across the journey 3 and 1 charger and I couldn’t be happier and with the discount I got it around $90.

I have this at home but for travel I have the Apple duo works great for what I need and also super compact
Yeah the duo is solid but man that thing turned yellow over some time and I just quit using it. Worked great though.
Dude that's so small! Copping one!!!
It's legit bro. Thanks for stopping through!!
I have this and it's incredible. I thought about the pitaka one as well.
Yeah Pitaka is cool also and it's cool that you get a battery pack. This one is built a little better though.
3:36, I dont have the cube, but I can imagine that it is great on the back when used as night stand. Otherwise the light is shining in your eyes.

Thanks Tee!! Been waiting on this one for a while. Now that you can recommend it I feel comfortable getting it.
Hi Tee, do you know anything about Momax? Really want to know your thought about this brand
Man this thing looks really nice. I love my 623!
I kind of like the LED on the back because it could get distracting at night if it’s bright. Some accessories have an LED that will light up the whole room, so I kind of get why they did that.
Its clean bro.
LED in the back is the best feature imo, i wish i could turn it off but in the back is ok
looks so nice in contrast to the wonderful wood ! I was crazy enough.....😁
In my cart as we speak this might take over my foldable mophie
Is this thing actually a power bank like does it have battery to it or is it just for charging when you are stationary?
Very nice all in one charging solution 😀
Absolutely
does is it support charging of other products than apple? such as galaxybuds ?
Hey are you going to review the HiRise 3 Deluxe stand by TwelveSouth?
This would be great for a nightstand charger
And that's exactly what it is for me.
I hope in the next version they make the apple watch charger swivel as I rely on it for my clock
Great video review - thanks, @TechnicallyTee. Would you or someone else be able to confirm whether or not the AirPods case (on the magnetic side) get and stay really warm during and after charging? I currently have the Belkin 3-in-1 charger and my AirPods (gen 3) get and stay really warm - this seems to be an issue with this particular charger (this is my second one, after exchanging recently.)

The Belkin boost can fast charge the iwatch right but this one doesn’t ? Torn between those 2!
Yeah they both are the best of the best for sure.
@@TechnicallyTee does the Anker fast charge iwatch series 7?
U tried the nomad one? Are the angles the same
If this was also a power bank - it would be the best travel charger period.
LED on the back is where it should be. I don't want that thing lighting up the room when I'm trying to sleep. I'd be putting tape over it if it was on the front. Better yet take it out completely
Can you please review the new Otterbox 2-in-1 power bank with MagSafe? Thanks 😊
Talk to me about that Apple Watch band 😍 it’s lush! Where is it from?!
Hahaha it's the Nomad Electric Blue Sport band.
The pricing for legit MagSafe certified accessories are insane. Is this a sign of what type of pricing to expect for rumored MFi usb-c cables..
Yeah that's very true to keep that battery health up on your devices.
T, which is better the Mophie Powerstation or this?
Your device will tell you it’s charging. Not sure why people get hung up on this.
Compatible with Samsung S23U with a MagSafe case, Watch and Buds?
The device lets you know ours plugged in when you set it in the charger. “Ding” is the sound my phone, watch, and AirPods make.
Nice. USB-C! I hate it when companies use a separate charger 😠
Tell me about it. Just USB-C everything.
This would be perfect for me I have a reg pro. Thanks for the vid
Damn, cool device, albeit expensive for my liking. I would totally use this, if it had a Galaxy Watch charger (and if it wasn't so expensive lol). I have a magsafe ring sticker thing on my S22 so I could totally use this with my Samsung ecosystem, phone, galaxy buds, galaxy watch
Are you saying that this will not charge a Samsung Galaxy watch 5 Pro? That's the only Samsung component that I'm concerned about because I know the other two will work.
Cool product, but the Apple Watch charger charges my ultra 2 so slow. I had to go back to using the charger that came with the watch.
Thanks Tee for the review looks cool always good to see more MagSafe options coming to the market and handy to use when charging it overnight will be trying the new standby clock mode with the iOS update when using it on its side.
Good review and charger. Too much for me but looks good
Yeah the price is up there for sure. Much appreciated! 💪🏽💪🏽
I WANT the LED on the back. I don’t like lights on my chargers, I cover them up when I can.
Which is better though, this or the mophie 3 n 1 traveler (which I have). It’s smaller, lighter.
I think I would still rather travel with the Mophie because of the carrying case and all of that.
Is that the new Nomad sport band color?
It is.
This is a bit late, but I am also using the Pitaka Case (with built-in magnets) on my Airpods Pro 2, and I am finding that when I put the Airpods Pro 2 on the wireless charger (non-magsafe) it doesn't actually charge and it shows an orange LED.

Nice Review Anthony Anderson
Does the phone get hot when charging with this?

You can charge your S23U via wireless on the main top pad, just have to get alignment right and you can charge your buds with either pad.
@@TechnicallyTee Thanks for the info. Definitely appreciate the response.
Does the device have its own battery so you can charge wirelessly as a power bank?
No it has to be plugged in via type c.
Thank you!
Question does it work on samsung devices
Hey! I have the 14 Pro Max - does the bottom of the phone physically touch the table or desk? Seems low. TIA
It’s comes really close but it doesn’t touch.
It's exactly what I want for my desk, but the price ain't it.
Hopefully they available in Sea
I think its the same reason you have your lights aimed at the wall. its bc no one want a bright A LED shining on your bed side but a little on the wall is ok
Can I use an iphone 11 with this?
So it won’t fast charge an Apple Watch ultra?
Can this be used with the s23 ultra
I want to know this too.
Isn’t a hinge normally on the back
It’s a pretty nice charger ⚡️
Cool, but I have to stop my spending. 😢
Surprised that the cube doesn’t have space to keep the cable or charging brick inside of it when not using, that would be cool
We all worry about a lot of things, some about their AirPods not getting charged
$150 is ridiculous tbh. This thing should be $70 max.
Yeah they are taxing because its an Apple exclusive.
Put your iphone on the charger...it will tell you if the 3-in-1 is getting power. Leave the LED on the back so it's not an annoyance while sleeping.
How hot does this get? The one thing about Anker products that I do not like is how hot they can get.
This or the mophie travel…for traveling
plot twist the front is actually the back and vise versa lol smh BS aside seems like a great product.
Hahaha
Do you think you could travel with this one?
I think you good. Little odd size to throw in a bag but I think you'll be fine.
Yeah the odd size is what I was wondering about
Wow, still not available in Germany.
Really nice but for at least $99.00
Disagree on the led. Remove it completely. You know if there is power when you hook the phone up and it notifies its charging.
Don't move the led light.
Much better ones for 60 bucks on Amazon
