ESR's lineup of MagSafe-compatible accessories continues to grow with the addition of three new products featuring CryoBoost to increase charging performance.




Releasing today, ESR has announced the CryoBoost 3-in-1 charger, 2-in-1 charger, and car charger. All promise to increase charging speeds by circulating air over the charging coil and your iPhone.



"The future of charging is wireless, but wireless charging's biggest bottleneck is overheating. Wireless charging creates heat which forces charging speeds to slow in order to protect the user's phone." said ESR CEO Tim Wu. "CryoBoost fixes this problem by combining a phone-cooling fan and first-of-their-kind heat-dissipating components that cool the user's phone while they charge."

With the fan, ESR claims that the CryoBoost accessories can charge faster than even Apple's MagSafe puck.




The 3-in-1 will charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. You provide your own Apple Watch charging puck that connects discreetly in the bottom of the charger. You're also able to utilize a USB-C version for fast charging Apple Watch Series 7.

The car charger is a vent-mounted charger with a stabilization clip to help during bumpy rides. It powers up over USB-C though you'll have to provide your own power adapter.

All chargers work with Apple's MagSafe line and magnetically hold your phone at any angle when connected, perfect for sitting bedside or rotated landscape for watching a movie. A subtle light peaks out from around the edges to let you know when it's actively charging.

The new ESR CryoBoost lineup is available now from Amazon. The HaloLock CryoBoost 3-in-1 charger runs $69, the HaloLock CryoBoost 2-in-1 charger runs $59, and the HaloLock CryoBoost car charger costs $39.

    Can a non-Apple charger hit 15W like Apple's genuine Magsafe? My understanding was that the iPhone limited charging speed. Cooled or not.

    Yes, is this true MagSafe charging 15W, or just magnetic Qi charging?

    Nope, just 7.5w Qi. Check out the last question in the FAQ. Pretty disingenuous of ESR to compare charging times between this to Apple’s official MagSafe charger. They’re clearly showing the charging speed you’d get with MagSafe thermal throttling the whole time. When using a licensed MagSafe charger that isn’t thermal throttled it’ll charge twice as fast as this thing will.
