When I was looking for a 2-in-1 charger for my Apple Watch and iPhone, I made sure that the one I got satisfied three basic requirements. The bedside wireless charger had to be small, sturdy, and powerful enough to Fast Charge both my Apple Watch and iPhone.
Thankfully, most 2-in-1 (and 3-in-1) wireless chargers satisfy those requirements. That’s partly because electronics manufacturers have been switching from traditional silicon to gallium nitrate as the conductors for chargers. Multi-port GaN chargers are smaller, faster, and more compact options if you want multiport chargers. Here, we’ve rounded up the best Multiiport GaN chargers or 2-in-1 wireless chargers for Apple Watch and iPhone to help you choose the right one for your needs.
