IFA 2026 in Berlin is Europe’s answer to CES, attracting global brands and huge crowds. Macworld walked its 27 halls to find the most interesting Apple-related products, breezily ignoring Windows PCs and Nintendo Switch accessories. More importantly, this year’s best launches offered a glimpse at where Apple accessories are heading next.
Who’s the coolest? Charging was the biggest theme, as was keeping power banks cool enough to keep charging at peak rates. Qi2 25W is quickly becoming the premium wireless-charging standard, while Ugreen, Anker, ESR and Adam Elements all showed active cooling systems designed to control the extra heat. Belkin and Momax also showcased semi-solid-state batteries promising slimmer power banks, improved safety and longer lifespans.
Dark Cherry was another major trend, with Baseus, ESR and Momax betting on the rumored iPhone 18 Pro color becoming 2026’s must-have shade. Elsewhere, replaceable batteries, a folding OLED portable monitor and local-AI smart-home hubs showed manufacturers experimenting beyond the usual annual refresh.
Mac accessories were also more ambitious, with Thunderbolt 5 docks, 6K touchscreens, Neo colors, super-high refresh-rate multi-monitor hubs and displays with integrated docking and KVM functionality. Rather than catalog every launch, we picked the products that genuinely did something different. Here are the accessories that impressed us most.
We’ve tested some of the best portable monitors for Mac but none has literally bent in half like the UPerfect Omega One. It’s the iPhone Ultra of monitors, and loks perfect for traveling MacBook users.
This compact display pulls out to a flexible 16.3-inch 2K OLED touchscreen, and you can hardly spot the bend point when fully flat. It uses an advanced flexible substrate and seamless hinge design for seamless folding and optical consistency. The panel is subtly curved so that the top and bottom edges naturally lean toward the viewer.
Pre-orders will ship at the end of October.
Ugreen unveiled its new MagFlow lineup at IFA 2026, claiming the world’s first Qi2 25W magnetic power bank with active micro-pump liquid cooling. The new lineup tackles the heat challenge of faster wireless charging by combining active cooling with passive heat-dissipation structures in a system the company calls CryoPulse.
Ugreen refreshed its MagFlow Pro family with a 3-in-1 Magnetic 25W Wireless Charging Stand (€139.99 / £119.99), pictured above, designed for desks and bedside tables and a 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic 25W Wireless Charger (€49.99 / £43.99) that measures 60 × 72 × 27mm when closed.
The flagship 10K, 25W MagFlow Pro Magnetic Power Bank ($149.99 / €119.99 / £109.99) features CryoPulse micro-pump liquid cooling, VC copper heat-spreading foil and separated charging components to reduce heat buildup, while ThermalGuard adjusts power automatically and a transparent window shows coolant circulation, claims Ugreen. A tiny pump circulates coolant to pull heat away from the cells, and you can watch it all happen through a clear Cyber Window. In Ugreen’s testing, peak temps ran up to 18°F cooler than the industry benchmark, with temperature rise cut by up to 44%. Alongside the 25W wireless charging is 45W max wired output via a built-in cable.
Dark Cherry is the Cosmic Orange of 2026, long rumored to be Apple’s new look-at-me colorway for its iPhone 18 Pro series.
Baseus has a whole charging and protection collection in Dark Cherry, including products such as its AH22 100W Digital Display Charger ($59), AM52 Qi2.2 Power Bank ($79), Air Ultra-Slim Power Bank ($79), and Inspire XC1 earbuds all shipping with discounts of up to $38 until the end of October.
The Baseus PicoGo Pro USB-C Charger Fast Charging with Smart Display is a 3-port charger for any modern Apple device and includes a Dark Cherry 100W USB-C cable.
The Baseus Picogo Air magnetic power bank is super-slim at 0.27 inches (6.9mm) thick, but you’ll be too busy marvelling at its Dark Cherry color to even notice!
The Anker Desktop USB-C Hub is really a docking station, having four USB ports (two 10Gbps USB-C and two 5Gbps USB-A), Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD memory card slots, and both DisplayPort and HDMI ports. It’s special because Anker claims it can run HD monitors at an ultra-smooth 240Hz refresh rate or two 4K displays at 120Hz. The connected MacBook can receive up to 100W of power. A built-in display shows real-time port status, charging power, data transfer rate, and device temperature, and you can upload custom images for a rotating slideshow, or double-tap to start a Pomodoro timer with gentle health reminders.
