Are Baseus accessories exceeding Apple's expectations by bringing features that many people expected right before the iPhone 18 Pro launched?
Baseus has just introduced the Dark Cherry Collection aimed at the iPhone 18 Pro line expected to launch in the near future. The highlight is not only the color inspired by the rumored Dark Cherry version of the iPhone 18 Pro but also the series of high-end chargers and backup batteries with many notable features. The most prominent of which is the brand new PicoGo GaN 100W charger and two magnetic backup battery models PicoGo AM71 and PicoGo AM52.
The PicoGo GaN 100W charger is designed to be extremely compact, aimed at people who often travel. The device possesses three USB Type C ports, a screen displaying real-time power parameters and a touch button to change operating modes. The European version also has a folding stand to help save space when carrying.
One of the notable points is the ability to control heat. After 30 minutes of operation at high power, the surface temperature is only about 36 degrees Celsius. Baseus also said that the charger will support the automatic power-off feature when the phone is fully charged to reduce overcharging and limit battery aging.
PicoGo AM71 backup battery continues to be a product aimed at iPhone users who love compactness. With a thickness of only about 6.9 mm,The device still integrates a 5000 mAh battery, supports 15W wireless charging and 22.5W wired charging. In particular, the product also comes with a USB Type C cable integrated in the box instead of forcing users to buy it separately.
AM71 also supports NFC to help iPhone connect directly to check battery level, temperature, battery health status and many other information. This is a rare feature on backup batteries today. In addition, the product is certified by China's CCC, making it more convenient for users to travel by domestic air in this country.
In the initial test, after about 30 minutes of wireless charging, the surface temperature of AM71 was only about 29 degrees Celsius. However, to optimize heat dissipation, Baseus uses glass fiber material inside, causing the magnetic attraction force to decrease slightly compared to some other MagSafe battery models.
If you need larger capacity, PicoGo AM52 is an outstanding choice. The device owns a 10,000 mAh battery, supports wired charging up to 45W and Qi2.2 standard wireless charging with a capacity of 25W. In addition, AM52 also supports 30W charging to significantly shorten recharge time.
The USB Type C cable is integrated right on the body of the device, helping users not need to carry a separate charging cable. The device also has an additional USB Type C port to simultaneously charge multiple devices such as iPhones, AirPods or tablets. The contact surface uses silicone material to help increase grip and hold firmly on the back of the phone.
In addition to the charger and backup battery, Baseus also added a FrostCore Data 100W cable with Power Delivery 100W fast charging capability and Smart Cooling Pr technology.otection to limit temperature when transmitting high power. The collection also includes a Dark Cherry color version of the Bowie MC2 Open Ear headphones to create harmony with the entire ecosystem.

Initial reviews show that Baseus is focusing strongly on real-world experience rather than just increasing capacity. Smart display, NFC battery management, new Qi2.2 standard, thermal control and compact design are significant differentiators. However, the current information is just an initial introduction and some features still need to be verified when the product officially opens for sale in early September 2026.
If the parameters are kept the same when commercialized, Dark Cherry Collection will likely become one of the most notable accessory lines for iPhone 18 Pro users in 2026.
