Amazon’s Spring Sale is Giving Prime Members $30 Off the Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Charger

Ditch the cable clutter and charge your phone, watch and earbuds at once for just $80.

The Anker MagGo foldable wireless charging station is $80 on Amazon, down from $110, which is a pretty great excuse to finally ditch the cable clutter on your desk or nightstand.

But the Amazon Spring Sale is only giving this deal to Prime members. It’s a compact three-in-one charger built for Apple devices and comes with Anker’s two-year manufacturer warranty. There’s still some time left in this sale event, but who knows how long this Anker deal will stick around.

Despite its size, you get 15-watt Qi2-certified wireless charging with full MagSafe support, so your iPhone snaps into place and charges quickly. Folded up, it’s roughly the size of a deck of cards and light enough to toss into a bag without a second thought.

Apple Watch users will especially appreciate this one, since it can charge a Series 9 to 47% in just 30 minutes thanks to MFW certification. It powers your iPhone, AirPods and Watch at the same time, and Anker includes a 40-watt USB-C PD charger for best performance.

If you’re still shopping, check out our roundup of the best MagSafe accessories, which includes everything from wallets to power banks for your iPhone. And don’t forget to shop around. Here are the top spring sale deals at Best Buy right now.

Why this deal matters

Since Apple no longer includes chargers in the box, it’s a good idea to pick up a single charging station that can handle your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods simultaneously. With Qi2 charging, a travel-friendly foldable design and $30 off, it’s an easy upgrade without paying full price. And since it’s the Amazon Spring Sale, this deal can sell out at any moment.

Answers for today’s Strands puzzle

These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other.
