iPhone 17 Air 65W charger - Anker PowerPort III review

[4sallypat]

Just got the perfect travel charger for both domestic and international travel.

Anker PowerPort III.

Gets a bit warm connecting all 3 ports but the size is amazingly perfect for travel.

3 ports in a compact charger for travel recharges my:

• iPhone 17 Air
• 12" Macbook Retina
• Apple Watch Ultra
• ANC headphones
• Travel cellular hotspot

I'm wondering, why do you travel with a cellular hotspot? Why not just get a travel sim for your iPhone and use the iPhone's hotspot?

Travel hotspot allows for others to share the single WiFi, uninterrupted (never sleeps) and has fantastic battery life all day.

I do buy eSIMs for the phone as well but find that the hotspot feature is spotty at best being tucked in my pocket plus it goes to sleep and cuts off others.

Another option I'm considering, since it's for travel, is getting a travel power adapter with USB charging ports. That way I have a single device that I can use to plug in all my stuff while traveling, and also for charging my devices. Save some space and weight in the luggage. Something like this:

It's bulky, but does it all.

I have the Belkin 3 port travel charger that works well everywhere.

Small - works for all international destinations I travel to (with adapters).
