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.

Anker’s latest 2-in-1 stand can charge two devices simultaneously, allowing you to top off a pair of earbuds while you juice a compatible Qi2 device at up to 15W.

More deals, discounts, and ways to save

  • Today is the last day to take advantage of Woot’s apt-titled “Video Game Summer Sale,” which runs through 12:59AM ET tonight. While many of the games we previously plugged from the sale are no longer available, you can still save $20 on what is arguably the best Nintendo Switch game of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (now $39.99), and $30 on the second-gen Backbone One (now $69.99). This is the Lightning-equipped version of Backbone’s PlayStation-style mobile controller, mind you, meaning it won’t work with the iPhone 15 or any future USB-C models.
  • Summer may be winding down, but much of the US will likely see high temps throughout the rest of August. Thankfully, if you’re looking for a way to stay cool, Vornado’s four-speed 660 AE Large Air Circulator is currently down to $108 (about $22 off) at Amazon, which is the best price we’ve seen on the powerful, Alexa-enabled smart fan since the beginning of February.
  • The Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera, aka the best wireless outdoor floodlight cam you can buy, is on sale for an all-time low of $129.99 ($120 off) at Amazon and Newegg. The battery-powered security camera works with all your major smart home platforms (including Alexa and Google Home) and offers several installation options, along with a motion-activated siren, color night vision, a 160-degree field of view, and two-way audio. It also can capture 2K video with HDR, though sadly, some features are locked behind Arlo’s Secure service, which costs $7.99 a month for a single camera.

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.
