A bit About Me

With his finger on the pulse of technology and consumer electronics, Jon Cohen has been breaking, fixing and enjoying technology since childhood. His father often recounts the story of how Jon loved to unplug and replug RCA cables from the back of the TV as a toddler. These days Jon contributes as a tech journalist and correspondent to SiriusXM and Rogers Media, and as a photographer.

AUKEY MagFusion Z: Fast Qi2 Charging on Your Travels

AUKEY MagFusion Z: Fast Qi2 Charging on Your Travels

Jon Cohen

For Apple users constantly on the go, the AUKEY MagFusion Z offers a wonderful solution for the woes of traveling with multiple plugs/wires or forgotten chargers. This 3-in-1 wireless charging station tackles this common travel struggle by consolidating the charging functionality of 3 of my favorite tech items into one single convenient unit.


The MagFusion Z boasts a space-saving design that prioritizes portability. With a folded thickness of under 18mm, it effortlessly slips into backpacks or purses without adding bulk. Or you can pack it neatly into the included travel pouch for ultimate protection. Unfolded, the unit transforms into a stable stand for your iPhone, featuring an adjustable tilt angle (up to 80 degrees) for optimal viewing while charging. This also helps to eliminate those awkward phone positions when trying to do a FaceTime or Zoom call giving the user a comfortable and hands-free experience all while quickly charging your devices.


But the benefits extend beyond convenience. The MagFusion Z embraces the future of wireless charging with Qi2 technology. Unlike its predecessor Qi, Qi2 offers a significant upgrade in both power delivery and charging distance. This translates to faster charging times for your iPhone – a crucial factor when traveling or when you just don’t have the time to wait. Additionally, Qi2 eliminates the need for precise placement on the charging pad, further reducing the frustration often encountered with traditional wireless chargers.


In the box, besides getting the 3-in-1 charging station and the travel pouch, ANKER has thoughtfully included a 35W wall power adapter and a USB-C to C cable so you are ready to go the minute you open the box. The dedicated charging pads ensure a steady charge for your Apple Watch and AirPods, eliminating the need to pack separate chargers and cables. This not only reduces clutter but also ensures all your essential devices are powered up and ready to go.


While wireless charging speeds may not yet fully match those of wired charging, the MagFusion Z offers a significant improvement over traditional wireless options. The 15W fast charging ensures a reasonable charging time for iPhones, and the convenience of simply placing your phone on the stand outweighs the slight speed difference for many users.


Overall, the AUKEY MagFusion Z transcends the limitations of traditional chargers, particularly for frequent travelers. Its compact design, Qi2 technology, and user-friendly features combine to create a streamlined charging solution that keeps your Apple devices powered up and ready for your next adventure.
