Design and build quality

The first thing this charging base conveys is product feel prime. Not only because of the design – clean, functional and very well thought out – but also because of the materials. Everything fits, everything seems solid and neat.

A detail that I always like to point out is the braided cablebecause it usually stands for durability and quality and here it scores points. The base has a slightly rubbery finish that helps it stay in place, although admittedly tends to attract a little more dust and it costs a little more to keep it spotless. It’s not a drama, but it’s worth mentioning.

Another key point: weight (620 grams). And in this case, for me, it’s an advantage. It’s not a light base that moves every time you place your phone; On the contrary, it remains totally stable on the table or desk. Everything is well distributed: space for the iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods, without intruding or getting in the way.

It’s also interesting adjustable stand up to 80 degreeswhich allows you to use iPhone in an upright position to watch videos, watch a series or make video calls without using your hands while he is in charge. When not in use, the base also allows display a custom watch faceproviding an aesthetic and functional point.

Performance and charging experience

On a daily basis, performance is Alright. The base offers wireless charging up to 25W for iPhone (on latest generation models) MagSafe/Qi2 compatible, plus dedicated charging for Apple Watch and AirPods. This translates to fast and constant chargeswithout cuts or strange behavior.

Offers a total power of up to 35 Wwith an input that supports different voltage and amperage levels, allowing it to adapt well to different charging situations. In practice, this can give up to 25 W at smart phoneplus 5W for TWS earphones and 5W for watchcharging all three devices at the same time stably and without noticeable performance losses.

To realize your full potential, Anker recommends using a 65W or higher USB-C adapterbecause this is the way to guarantee both the maximum 25W charging on the phone and adequate cooling during the process, an essential element to maintain good sustained performance and avoid overheating.

One of the aspects that convinced me the most is precisely the heat management. It hardly gets hot, even after long use, thanks to its active ventilation system.

Of course, there are different modes. Inside fashion Boostercharging is faster, but the fan we can hear it quite a bit. It’s not loud, but in a quiet room it’s noticeable. The good news is that you can enable the fashion Sleepwhere loading is a bit slower, but the noise disappears completely. To use it at night, this mode is essential.

As for compatibilityIn case it’s not yet clear to you, this charging station is clearly designed for the Apple ecosystem. Allows loading iPhone 17 and iPhone 16 at maximum power of up to 25Wwhile the iPhone 15, 14, 13 and 12 achieve up to 15W wireless charging. Also compatible with AirPods with wireless charging case including 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation AirPodsas well as AirPods Pro, Pro 2 and Pro 3. In the case of the watch, it offers fast charging for Apple Watch series 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and Ultra and is also compatible with Apple Watch Series 1 to 6 and Apple Watch SEby adapting the power according to the model.

To get an idea of ​​performance: According to Anker and my own tests, this dock charges your iPhone 17 to 50% in just 20 minutes.

Options to manage it: integrated screen and application

The Anker Prime includes a mini led display which, although small, is surprisingly useful. From there you can see the system status and change basic settings. This is a detail that not all chargers include and which makes the difference in daily use.

He also has applicationwhich is simple and intuitive. It works well and has no mystery. Now here’s my eternal complaint as a user: These days it seems like we need one application for absolutely everything.

Fortunately, in this case it is not obligatory. You can use the base perfectly without installing anything, managing everything from the device’s own screen.

Added to this is the fact that, if you wish to use it, you have the quick pairing via NFC– One-touch to connect via Bluetooth and access controls from the app, without complicated setup processes.

Summary

The 3 in 1 charging base Anker Prime It’s one of those products that when you use it daily, they make your life easier. It’s not the cheapest foundation on the market (159.99 euros), but it doesn’t claim to be either. Play in the product league prime and, within this category, clearly stands out.

It charges quickly, doesn’t heat up, is stable, is well designed and has options to adapt to different times of the day, like silent mode for nighttime. Plus, you can use it with or without applicationsomething that is not always common.

In my case, I think it deserves every euro it costs. It’s practical, reliable and does exactly what it promises: makes the battery no longer a worry. And that’s not nothing today.
