Hands-on with the latest Belkin MagSafe charging stands, power banks and more – 9to5Mac

Belkin has always been a top accessory manufacturer when it comes to MagSafe and Qi2 products for iPhone users, and this accessory is no different. For Black Friday, Belkin is offering some pretty compelling discounts on some of its leading charging accessories. I will share my impressions here.

First, it’s worth noting that all of these products are Qi2, and not Qi2.2. That said, if you have an iPhone 16 or 17 model, it won’t be the fastest charging technology you can get. Granted, Qi2 accessories are more affordable than Qi2.2 accessories, so there’s an advantage there. If you’re interested, you can check out my hands-on information on the Anker Qi2.2 and ESR Qi2.2 charging stands.

3 in 1 charging stand

The Belkin 3-in-1 Charging Stand is a classic on the market, and you can get it for just $77 on Black Friday – about 30% off!

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

In terms of fit and finish, it’s not too big, so if you have a small table – you don’t have to worry about the floor plan being too big. The MagSafe iPhone charging ring can also rotate, so if you need to customize your iPhone a bit, that’s an option. It also comes with a nice silicone finish, rather than shiny plastic. It looks pretty nice.

At $77, the price is pretty reasonable for the Qi2 3-in-1, and it would make a great gift if that’s what you’re looking for. It is 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. On Black Friday, you can get one for 30% off for just $55.

Unlike many options, this power bank comes with a stand. This is pretty handy if you’re someone who wants to watch a YouTube video or whatever while you’re charging your phone on the go. It also has LED charging indicators and Belkin claims up to 28 hours of battery life. The BoostCharge 8K comes with a USB-C charging cable in the box.

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

3 in 1 charging pad

This Belkin 3-in-1 charging pad is similar to AirPower on premise in many ways. Obviously, you don’t have a universal location, but you can charge 3 devices at once on a flat wireless charging pad that you can place on your desk.

It’s fairly low profile, and the Apple Watch charger connects via a separate USB-C connection. This has the double benefit of being able to detach the Apple Watch charger and plug it into a USB-C power brick or MacBook for discreet charging without a long cable in the middle. Also, if you don’t own an Apple Watch, you can plug in an additional cable to charge another device.

On 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 little and get it for just $38. It is available in black or white.

Magnetic folding charger

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

For this price, it comes with a USB-C charging cube and cable for this price, and like everything else, it supports 15W MagSafe charging.

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