Baseus Dark Cherry Collection for iPhone 18 Pro First Impression

Here we have the new Baseus Dark Cherry Collection for the upcoming iPhone 18 series, which is under a launch plan. Just like the name suggests, they are colored just like the rumored new color for the iPhone 18 Pro. Some of the products in this collection were released before, but the new one is this PicoGo 100W GaN charger. In this article, some features of the charger will be showcased, but not all the details of it. Also the highlights of the two power banks will be showcased, as these two are also very interesting.

PicoGo 100W GaN Charger

It is very small, much smaller than many 100W chargers out there, so it is very good for travelling. There are three Type-C ports, a large screen on the other side, and a touch control button below it. For the EU version, the prongs can be folded, again better for travelling.

The small screen looks very useful – it probably shows the real-time power output from each port. With the touch control button, you may also change settings for the charger.

We also tested the temperature control of the charger. After 30 minutes of charging, the surface is only 36℃. There is also a feature that will power off the charger when the phone reaches 100% charge, we will test it later.

Since this new PicoGo 100W GaN Charger is still not being officially released, these are the features we can talk about right now. We will talk more about it soon.

PicoGo Magnetic Power Banks

The PicoGo AM71 and PicoGo AM52 Magnetic Power Banks were released before, now they get a new skin color. These are targeted at the new iPhone 18 Pro. We can’t comment on whether this will truly be the new color, but for now I think they look great. And let’s briefly talk about the specs and user experience.

PicoGo AM71 Magnetic Power Bank

The PicoGo AM71 is extremely thin, measured at just 6.9mm/0.27inch, it certainly fits more perfectly on the iPhone Air than the 17 Pro. Despite the thinness, it still packs a 5000mAh battery, it can output up to 15W wirelessly, and 22.5W wired. And there is a short C-C cable in the package, this is something most of its kind don’t offer. Surprisingly, it also supports 20W max input, so it is very quick to top it up. I think this is a very good feature, as such a power bank is meant for everyday use, it should be able to collect power back quickly for next use.

There is NFC built in. You can use an iPhone to connect to it, then check all the information about it, like the battery level, temperature, battery health, etc. This is a very smart feature, to let you be aware of the state about the power bank.

One thing you might not notice, which is that this power bank is CCC certified, a new standard in China. If you travel to China frequently, you need this. The reason is that you will not have your power bank checked when your flight lands in China, but if you need to take more flights within China, you need a CCC-certified power bank, otherwise you will have to give yours up before getting on board. This is important; please take note.

Some other features about this power bank. The heat dissipation is very good, after half an hour of charging wirelessly, the temperature is only29℃. But maybe because it wants better heat dissipation, it uses glass fiber on the inside, so it weakens the magnetic force, so it is not that secure on the iPhone.

PicoGo AM52 Qi2.2 Magnetic Power Bank

If you want that magnetic experience, with bigger capacity, then the AM52 is the choice. It is rated at 10000mAh capacity, 45W max output wired. And since it is Qi2.2 certified, it can output 25W wirelessly, this is ideal for iPhone 16 or 17. Let’s see if it can support the 18 series better.

It can also accept 30W input, this can top it up pretty fast. And since there is a Type-C cable built-in, you don’t need to bring a cable with you. You can just attach it to your phone, then either charge the phone wirelessly, or use the cable to do so. Or even, you can charge your phone and AirPods at the same time. And there is an extra C port, to charge another device at the same time, or if you want to put it in your pocket then use a longer cable to charge the phone in your hand.

The material inside is silicone, so it has better grip, it can attach to your iPhone more securely. This power bank is the perfect one for a trip that takes a few days.

Other Products

We also got the FrostCore Data 100W Cable. It can support up to 100W PD fast charging, and it is very strong. It claims to have Smart Cooling Protection; maybe it’s good for high-power charging. Lastly, the color does match other products in the collection pretty well.

Last but not least, the Bowie MC2 Open-Earbuds Dark Cherry edition. We have reviewed these before; you can watch our full review on the YouTube channel. Other than that, the color combo is just so well put together; it makes them stand out a lot.

Summary

Ok, so these are the products in the Baseus Dark Cherry Collection. They are mostly targeting the new iPhone 18 Pro series, that’s why there is this new color. Other than the color, the specs and build quality are also excellent. Especially the PicoGo 100W GaN Charger and the two power banks, they represent top-notch quality in the charging category. The official launch date will probably be in early September 2026, you can tune in to the BASEUS website for more info.
