Anker’s 3-in-1 MagSafe Foldable Charging Station has dropped to $88, a record low price. We haven’t seen it this low since Amazon Prime Day. That’s 20 percent off.
As the name suggests, this is a 3-in-1 charging station that can simultaneously hold an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. It has 15W charging and is Qi2-certified, so you can expect it to work fast. For example, the company says it can charge an Apple Watch Series 9 up to 47 percent in just 30 minutes. It’s easy to see why this thing made it onto our list of the best Apple Watch accessories.
It’s actually quite portable for a charging station. It weighs just 6.9 ounces and the whole thing folds down to the size of a deck of cards. This charger comes with a cable and a 40W power brick, so you get everything you need to get those great charging speeds without spending a fortune.
While this is a great charger, especially for frequent travelers, the price has long been an issue for many. It’s hard to buy an accessory like this at over $100. The sale price of $88 makes things a little more palatable.
“Which iPhone should I buy?” is a question you’ve heard many times over the past several years. Most of the time, the answer is simple: buy the best iPhone you can afford. If you’re happy with your current iPhone, you don’t need to make any changes at all. But if you’re ready to upgrade, let us help. We’ve reviewed nearly every iPhone ever released, so we’ve picked all nine models in Apple’s current smartphone lineup and highlighted the models that should satisfy most people below.
Before we go any further, note that we’ve based our guide on the MSRP of a new, unlocked iPhone on Apple.com. If you find a deep discount from another trusted retailer or a great deal on a refurbished model, that can always change the value equation. With that disclaimer in mind, here are the best iPhones you can buy in early 2025.
The iPhone 16 Pro is the iPhone we’d recommend to most people. Yes, its starting price might be $999 higher, but a smartphone is a long-term investment. If the question is “which iPhone will keep you happy for the next three to five years,” we think the iPhone 16 Pro’s benefits over the standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are still meaningful enough that they’re worth the extra $100-200 — even if the difference isn’t as big as it has been in years past.
For one thing, the iPhone 16 Pro’s blasted titanium frame base feels much better than the iPhone 16’s aluminum frame. It’s a little heavier than the standard 16 and last year’s iPhone 15 Pro, but it’s far from anchored, and its slightly curved edges feel nice to hold.
It runs on a slightly faster A18 Pro chip, which won’t make a huge difference for everyday tasks but is still more future-proof, especially if you have any interest in gaming or content creation. And while every iPhone 16 has a USB-C charging port, the Pro models support faster data transfer speeds (provided you have the right cable).
