Form, meet function
Now that MagSafe is here to stay, the best charging stands for iPhone will implement MagSafe to hold the iPhone in a comfortable viewing angle as it charges. This 3-in-1 solution from Belkin also has a magnetic charging pad for the Apple Watch and yet another wireless charging pad for AirPods. You can see how it all works together in the review we wrote on the Belkin MagSafe Charging Stand.
The next best thing
For iPhones that aren't MagSafe-enabled, the Belkin Powerhouse Charge Dock is one of the most elegant solutions for charging your iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously. The best part is you only need one cord to power both the Lightning connector for your iPhone and the Apple Watch's magnetic charger. Plus, the Lightning connector's height can be adjusted, so even if you have a heavy-duty case, you'll be able to charge your iPod no problem.
Beautifully designed
This warmly received charging stand offers a metal and glass design. It features MagSafe technology, allowing it to charge your iPhone relatively quickly. The stand is available in black and white.
Great for AirPods, too!
With the ability to charge your AirPods, iPhone, and Apple Watch simultaneously, the mophie 3-in-1 Wireless Charge Pad is a great solution to keep everything charging in one place. It charges your iPhone up to 7.5W (not bad for wireless), so it won't be too long before you're ready to go and it even has a little divet for the AirPods, so you know exactly where to put them to have a good connection.
2-in-1 charger on a budget
Anker excels at making budget accessories that work well. On this stand, your iPhone will be able to take advantage of 10W Qi charging, and the second pad also supplies 10W for AirPods. Of course, you have to provide your own charging cable and power brick to charge your Apple Watch, but the second pad pops up and holds the charger in place for you to use your Apple Watch in nightstand mode while it charges.
Offering elegant style
Allowing you to charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, this practical charging stand is one of the least expensive products on our list. It also offers a smaller footprint than many.
Clever design
The Intelli StepUp Charging Station sports a refreshing block design that provides solid support and reliable charging for three devices at once. Upon review of the StepUp, we loved that the charging pads for the AirPods and Apple Watch fold in, providing a more streamlined look and shape when needed.
Best portable option
If it's a portable power bank you need, ALLINSTATION provides one of the only power banks on the market that serves as a charging stand for up to five devices at once. Even better, it's MagSafe compatible to hold your iPhone at a comfortable viewing angle while it charges, as you can see in our review of the ALLINSTATION power bank.

Why get one of the best stands for your iPhone and Apple Watch?
A stand that allows you to charge your best iPhone and Apple Watch Ultra simultaneously in the same place does wonders to combat stress. Not only will it help you keep cables from lying around everywhere, but it also keeps your devices in the same place, so you don't have to forget where you put your Apple Watch down to charge.
Which iPhone and Apple Watch stand should I buy?
There are a few things to consider when shopping for a stand. First and foremost, you'll want to consider your budget. This will be a significant factor in whether you get a charging dock with built-in MagSafe or wireless charging or whether you want a stand with the ability to sort your cables out.
If you have the money, we're a big fan of Belkin's Powerhouse Charging Dock. It charges your Apple Watch and iPhone and has a minimal footprint, making it easy to fit on your desk, bedside table, or anywhere else you might put it. The Zens Modular Series is also worth considering because of its customization.
If you're more concerned about price, the STM Goods ChargeTree Swing provides the perfect place to store your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods when you want to fill them full of juice. Plus, the stand is excellent on the road because of its smaller footprint.
