Overview

The Mophie Qi2 3-in-1 is the charger you buy when brand trust matters more than spec sheets. Backed by ZAGG (Mophie's parent company) and carrying proper MFi certification, it's one of the safest choices for Apple ecosystem users. The adjustable tilt adds a nice ergonomic touch for StandBy mode, and the clean design blends into any desk or nightstand.

The problem is the price-to-speed ratio. At $99.95 (frequently on sale for $83.99), the Mophie tops out at 15W Qi2 — the same speed as chargers costing half as much. Meanwhile, 25W Qi2.2 competitors like the ESR CryoBoost sit just $5-20 above the Mophie's retail price. You're paying for the Mophie name, MFi reliability, and a proven warranty — not for cutting-edge charging speed.

For Apple users who value proven reliability over raw specs, the Mophie is a solid if conservative choice.

Features Deep-Dive

Adjustable Tilt for StandBy Mode

Like the UGREEN MagFlow, the Mophie features an adjustable tilt mechanism for the iPhone charging pad. This lets you angle the display for comfortable StandBy mode viewing from your bed or desk chair. The tilt range is more limited than the UGREEN's articulating arm, but it covers the angles most nightstand and desk setups need. The mechanism feels smooth and holds position securely.

MFi Certification and Brand Reliability

Mophie has been making Apple accessories since the iPhone 3G era, and ZAGG's acquisition hasn't changed the quality. MFi (Made for iPhone) certification means the Apple Watch charger is guaranteed to work with every Apple Watch model, including fast charging on Series 7 and later. This might sound like table stakes, but uncertified chargers occasionally have compatibility issues after iOS updates — MFi certification protects against that.

Clean, Minimal Design

The Mophie's design language is deliberately understated: matte black surfaces, subtle curves, and no visible branding beyond a small logo. It's the kind of charger that disappears into a well-organized desk or nightstand rather than demanding attention. The footprint is compact for a 3-in-1, and the base is weighted enough to stay put during phone attachment and removal.

Pricing Analysis

At $99.95 retail ($83.99 on sale), the Mophie sits in an awkward middle ground. It's too expensive for 15W charging when the Anker Zolo ($15.99) and INIU W11-E1 ($21.99) offer Qi2 15W for a fraction of the price. And it's too slow when the ESR CryoBoost ($104.99) delivers 25W Qi2.2 for just $5 more. The Mophie's value comes from its 3-in-1 convenience and MFi certification — if you specifically want a trusted-brand 3-in-1 dock and don't care about hitting 25W, the sale price of $83.99 is fair. At full retail, it's a tough sell.

Who Is This For?

Mophie Qi2 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand works best for:

• Brand-conscious Apple users who trust Mophie's track record and want MFi certification
• Nightstand users who want silent charging (no fan) with StandBy mode tilt adjustment
• Gift buyers looking for a recognizable brand that the recipient will trust
• Users who don't need maximum speed — if you charge overnight, 15W vs 25W makes zero practical difference

Who Should NOT Use This

Mophie Qi2 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand might not be the right choice if:

• Charging speed matters — 15W Qi2 takes roughly 40% longer than 25W Qi2.2 to go from 0 to 50%; for quick top-ups, this difference is significant
• You're budget-conscious — the ESR CryoBoost delivers 25W for $5 more, and the Baseus PicoGo offers 25W with an adapter for $10 less
• You want future-proofing — Qi2.2 is the current standard; buying a Qi2-only charger in 2026 means leaving potential speed on the table

Bottom Line

The Mophie Qi2 3-in-1 is a reliable, well-designed charging dock from a trusted brand. But at its price point, the 15W Qi2 speed feels outdated when 25W Qi2.2 alternatives cost the same or less. Buy it for the brand trust and silent nightstand experience; skip it if charging speed matters to you at all.

FAQ

Why is 15W a problem when I charge overnight anyway?

For overnight charging, it isn't — your phone will be full by morning regardless of speed. The speed gap matters for quick top-ups during the day, where 25W can deliver 50% charge in 30 minutes versus 45+ minutes at 15W. If you only charge at night, 15W is perfectly fine.

Does the Mophie include a power adapter?

The product listing doesn't specify whether an adapter is included. Check the box contents at purchase — if not included, a 30W+ USB-C PD adapter is recommended.

Is the Mophie MFi certified for Apple Watch?

Yes. MFi (Made for iPhone/Made for Apple Watch) certification guarantees compatibility with all Apple Watch models and fast charging support for Series 7+. This is a meaningful assurance that cheaper uncertified chargers can't provide.

How does it compare to the much cheaper Anker Zolo?

The Anker Zolo ($15.99) matches the Mophie's 15W Qi2 charging speed but only charges one device. The Mophie's value is the 3-in-1 convenience — one dock for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. If you only need to charge your phone, the Zolo is a far better deal.
