MagSafe docks might seem like they’re all the same, and many of them are. It’s all about charging, so you look for the ones with the look, finish, or price that you want. Every once in a while, a company will innovate with a feature I’d never thought about. The iWALK 3-in-1 MagSafe dock brings just that: an IR sensor so you can change between portrait or landscape without removing your iPhone.
MagSafe Monday: Every Monday, Bradley Chambers looks at the latest and greatest in the MagSafe and wireless charging industry to help you get the most out of your Apple devices that support wireless charging.
I’ve embedded the video above showing how it works, but it’s a clever idea! As I mentioned, it has a built-in infrared sensor that detects motion and allows the stand to rotate your iPhone between portrait and landscape mode automatically. It’s a great feature for FaceTime calls, watching videos, or even flipping between different apps without manually adjusting your iPhone
In my real-world use, it’s surprisingly fast and smooth. When switching orientations, the movement feels natural—there is no clunkiness or weird delays. I was shocked at how smooth it was. It’s a neat way to go from a FaceTime call to re-watching a show (looking at you, season 2 of Severance).
What’s in the box?
The iWALK 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand delivers 15W fast wireless charging if you have a compatible iPhone. It also includes spots for AirPods and an Apple Watch that pops, making it a great 3-in-1 charger. The kit includes a 20W adapter and USB-C to C cable to ensure you’re getting full power without needing to buy extra cords or worry if you have the right wattage adaptor.
Part of what I like about it is that it’s compact and foldable, making it a strong option for both home use and travel. When folded, it’s about the size of a small coffee mug, meaning it won’t take up much space in a bag. Unfolded, it offers an adjustable 0-65° viewing angle, so you’re not stuck at one height or angle. The Apple Watch slot pops in and out on a spring. When raised, you’ll find the spot for AirPods. Overall, The build feels solid, with a strong magnet that securely holds an iPhone in place, even when it’s rotating.
Wrap up
The selling feature here is the auto rotation. If you’re the type of person to swap from needing to use an iPhone at portrait or landscape, then you’ll love the iWALK 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Stand. It checks all the boxes otherwise (15-watt charging, Apple Watch/AirPods support, and includes everything needed in the box). I love the process of the Apple Watch slot coming in and out as well – incredibly handy.
You can buy it in white or black from Amazon or directly from iWalk.
