Of all the features Apple has introduced to the iPhone over the last several years, few have been as convenient in my day-to-day life as StandBy mode. This docking mode is fantastic if you want to use your phone as a clock or ad hoc smart display — that is, assuming you own the right desk accessory. Fortunately, Anker’s latest 2-in-1 MagGo Wireless Charger is available for $39.99 ($10 off) from Amazon with an on-page coupon or from Anker with offer code WSCPV22GRTOZ.

Like previous models, Anker’s newest charging stand isn’t particularly flashy. The sleek 2-in-1 contraption features a magnetic charging pad on the top for juicing MagSafe-compatible iPhones and a slower charging pad on the bottom for supplying a pair of wireless earbuds and other accessories with up to 5W of power. The difference here is that the larger, adjustable pad supports the newer Qi2 standard, preventing you from having to buy an official MagSafe-certified accessory just to achieve 15W charging speeds. The downside is that, at least right now, the only phones that support the open standard are the iPhone 12, 13, 14, and 15 series phones. Well, that, and the recently announced HMD Skyline, which, if I’m being totally honest, doesn’t really count. Get it together, Google.

Correction, August 16th: An earlier version of this article misstated the discount on Anker’s latest 2-in-1 MagGo Wireless Charger. It’s on sale for $10 off, not $20.
