Best MagSafe wireless chargers for iPhone

MacworldWeve rounded up the best MagSafe, Qi2, Qi2 25W, and MagSafe-compatible magnetic chargers, from the plain pad to multi-functional stands (up to six devices charged), and even the most colorfulfrom snap-on chargers and modular stands to foldable power banks and full desk mats.Apples MagSafe technology, supported by all models of iPhone since the iPhone 12 (except the iPhone SE and 16e), presents a more efficient way of wirelessly charging compatible iPhones. MagSafe is the ring of magnets around the iPhones internal charging coil that senses compatible accessories and magnetically snaps securely into the most efficient charging position with the right accessories. With MagSafe, youre less likely to wake up to find your phone wasnt correctly placed on the wireless charger so didnt charge at all!We have tested a lot of magnetic chargersMagSafe, Qi2 and Compatibleand here inform you which one will work best for you. There are simple magnetic wireless chargers, multi-device chargers for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods, travel chargers, car chargers and more. Best simple MagSafe chargersBest 2-in-1 MagSafe chargersBest 3-in-1 MagSafe chargersBest 4-in-1 MagSafe ChargersBest travel MagSafe chargersBest MagSafe charging stands with power banksBest MagSafe car chargerBest wireless charging desk matBest wireless charging sleeveOffering up to 25W power output in the right configuration, MagSafe charging is much faster than basic 7.5W magnetic wireless charging. The similar Qi2 standard, supported by the iPhone 13-17 families (and unofficially the iPhone 12 but strangely not the latest 16e) offers similar 15W speed charging. Qi 2.2, also known as Qi2 25W, meets MagSafe at 25W for iPhone 16/17.MagSafe or Qi2 certificationApple certifies MagSafe accessories to ensures that the output charging is 15W for most iPhones, and up to 25W for iPhone 16 and 17 (with Apples latest MagSafe charger or chargers certified for Qi2 25W). Non-certified magnetic but MagSafe-compatible chargers are usually just 7.5W with a ring of magnets to hold your phone in place. Certified MagSafe chargers also have a single-wire NFC antenna that allows the iPhone to identify the device and a built-in magnetometer to prevent compass interference while you are using your iPhone while its charging.In our tests, 15W MagSafe and Qi2 chargers are evenly matched for charging speeds. 7.5W MagSafe compatible chargers, as you might expect, take around twice as longcertainly in the early stages of charging. But dont rule out 7.5W chargers as they are often high quality, nearly always noticeably cheaper and just take a while longer to fully charge an iPhone. The king of the hill is Apples new MagSafe charger and chargers based on the new Qi2 25W technology that are definitely faster at 25W, but only with iPhone 16 or later.FoundrySimple vs multi-device magnetic chargersThe most basic form of MagSafe or magnetic charger is the simple pad that latches on to the compatible iPhone. Some pads feature a pop-out arm so the iPhone can be propped up while charging. There are also products that can simultaneously charge an iPhone plus other Apple devices, such as an Apple Watch or wireless AirPods charging case. Note that the AirPods case must be of the wireless variety, and the original AirPods case lacked this functionality. The base of a multi-charger could also be used to charge a second iPhone but mostly not magnetically and at 5W rather than 7.5W, 15W, or 25W. Also see our round up of the Best Apple Watch chargers and stands.Best simple MagSafe chargersA simple MagSafe charging pad is the cheapest route to wireless iPhone charging. Its still half as fast as using a standard Lightning or USB-C cable, however, and if you are going to the bother of connecting this product to a wall charger, why not just use a Lightning (iPhone 14 or earlier) or USB-C (iPhone 15 and up) cable? You can fast-charge an iPhone to 50% battery in under 30 minutes using a cable, while it takes around 50 minutes to wirelessly charge iPhone from 0 to 50% using even 15W MagSafe. 25W chargers can refill an iPhone to 50% in around 30 minutes.That said, there are interesting options to choose from. After these well look at more multi-functional MagSafe chargers.1.

Its the charger that Apple would have shipped with the iPhone if it did such things anymore. Its as minimalist a design as youd expect from Appleit looks a lot like a giant Apple Watch Charger. You can also use it to charge your AirPods.Apples latest version of this charger offers 15W Qi2 support and, more importantly, a faster 25W charging speed with iPhone 16 (and later). It also added a 2-meter length option for $10/10 more, which is very welcome. A 30W USB-C power adapter is required for 25W charging.In our tests using the Apple MagSafe Charger we wirelessly powered up an iPhone 16 Pro from 0% to 50% in just over 30 minutes.It can also charge your AirPods case (AirPods 2 or AirPods Pro), although not at the same time as the iPhonefor that, youll need at least a 2-in-1 wireless charger.The standard 1m cable is too short to comfortably charge and use your iPhone at the same time, or maybe stretch from a power socket to a nearby table, so we recommend the 2m upgrade. Dont forget that this Apple charger still requires a USB-C power adapterat least 20W if you want 15W charging and at least 30W to enable 25W charging.Twelve SouthAn aesthetic partner is the Twelve South Forte Charging Stand pedestal, pictured above, that is a cradle for the Apple MagSafe Charger that can then hold the iPhone in portrait or landscape and tilts 70-degrees. Tilt the top back to create a flat platform for charging AirPods. Its pricey for just a cradle but it effectively creates the only potential 25W wireless charging stand for the iPhone 16 and up.2.

As such it would perfectly suit the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air of those shades.Another difference is the length of cable and maybe 1.5m is a Goldilocks length for you if Apples 1m cable is too short and 2m cable too long.Other than that, this simple charger matches the Apple pad for speed (25W for iPhone 16/17 and 15W for iPhone 12-15), and is more likely to be found discounted than the Apple either direct or on Amazon. Its a solid alternative to Apple if any of these differences take your fancy.3.

Owners of iPhone 15 or earlier can rest assured that this charger is as fast as the Apple one.It works just as well, though, and is one of the cheaper premium magnetic chargers. The cable is a decent length at 1.5mhalf again as long as that on the base model Apple MagSafe Charger pad, but not as long as on the top-end 2m Apple charger or the 2m Belkin MagSafe charger reviewed below.Like Apples MagSafe Charger it can also charge your AirPods case (AirPods 2 or AirPods Pro) when the iPhone is removed.In the U.S. Anker offers this charger only in a two-pack. A spare charger for downstairs, the office, bedroom, car and so on is always useful.4.

The cable is twice as long as Apples basic model, which makes using the phone much easier when charging. Its also thicker nylon-braided cable with a handy integrated silicone cable tie.Its list price is higher than Apples, which is a surprise, so youre paying a premium for the longer premium cable and the kickstand but we think its worth the extra if you must have a certified 15W MagSafe charger. Check our price comparison here for cheaper online prices. Weve seen it discounted at half its list price so you could pick up a bargain. An alternative is the 15W Anker Qi2 MagGo pad, reviewed above, which has a 1.5m cable but no stand.Again, a straight cable connection will be faster but we like the kickstand, which you dont get with a standard cable connection. You can buy with a 27W power adapter included or just on its own if you already have a wall charger to use.There are a few very similar Belkin Charger Pads so make sure you get what youre after. For example, there is a slower but more affordable 7.5W MagSafe-compatible BoostCharge Charger Pad ($29 and sometimes cheaper from Amazon U.S. and Amazon U.K.) that lacks the stand. If you just want a cheap MagSafe-compatible charging pad, this is a decent option. Be warned: Belkin also sells a Qi Wireless Charging Pad that lacks the magnetic connection so is not recommended as it will be picky where the phone is placed and slower to charge as a result.5.

Nomad also sells a MagSafe version, the Stand One, for $10 more but everything is otherwise the same except for the color options: the Stand comes in Black or White, while the Stand One is available in Carbite (which really is black) and Silver. The Nomad Stand and Stand One look like 2-in-1 chargers, with the area at the back of the stand begging to be a simple Qi charging pad for your AirPods, but its an iPhone-only charger.Its a lovely looking stand that is the sturdiest wireless charging stand weve tested, with a real heft and an anti-slip rubber base. It is decidedly heavy (1.35lbs or 613g), so could be used as a paperweight if you have your desk fan turned up too high. Its made of metal with a glass panel that gives it a glossy look from the front.The 21-degree viewing angle works well for comfortable viewing but if you want to customize the angle to your own liking youll need to choose one of the more adjustable 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 wireless chargers reviewed below.Nomad does make a 3-in-1 version, the $180 Stand One Max (discounted at the time of writing to a more reasonable $119), which can charge iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods at the same time. This also looks great and charges the iPhone at a rapid 15W. It does have a flaw, unfortunately, in that it cant charge the iPhone in landscape orientation (for Apples StandBy mode) when charging a Watch at the same time as the two charging pads are too close to each other. Otherwise, its a fine-looking, if again a little expensive, fast charger.Best 2-in-1 MagSafe chargersWhy restrict your charger to just one device? You can buy MagSafe chargers that tackle up to six different devices at the same time. Here, we start with basic 2-in-1 MagSafe chargers that can wirelessly charge your iPhone and AirPods case (the case must be wireless-charging enabled). Most multi-device chargers are stands but there are also folding travel chargers that work equally well full-time on your desk or nightstand or on the road with you at your hotel or office space.Some 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 magnetic chargers are more portable than others so make sure to keep reading this feature for our list of Best travel MagSafe chargers, which may better suit your needs than these more static chargers.1.

A USB-C port on one side allows you to plug in your Apple Watch charging cable for 5W speedy charging, tooso you can almost call it a 3-in-1 except that you need a Watch charging cable to connect.The iPhone-charging pad can be raised to about 3 inches (8cm), and can be angled to your preference.UgreenUgreen also sells a slightly cheaper aluminum gray $49 Qi2 2-in-1 Magnetic Charger that looks similar but charges the phone at a slower 15W, and a flatter 15W Qi2 MagFlow 2-in-1, both pictured above, that measures 4.6 x 2.2 x 0.9 inches (11.6 x 5.5 x 2.4cm) and will slip into a pocket easier than the cube shape. That model doesnt have the side USB-C port, though.2.

Its available in two forms: one with rounded edges (pictured) and one thats straighter. Both are smooth but may be a little too plasticky for some tastes. The blue version is rather natty, though.It passed our 25W charging test by getting an iPhone 16 Pro from 0% to 50% in 33 minutes. Theres a side 5W USB-C port that you can plug an Apple Watch charger into.As a fold-up charger its suitably travel friendly. Alternatives include the Satechi 2-in-1 Foldable and the Ugreen Foldable 2-in-1, both reviewed below. The 15W Satechi is slower and larger than the two 25W 2-in-1 chargers but we still like its more solid desktop looks. Choose between the Belkin and Ugreen on form factor and price.

It is not portable like the Satechi and Ugreen 2-in-1 chargers, also reviewed above, but it is a good-looking stand for your desk or nightstand. Built to charge both an iPhone 12/13/14/15/16/17 and wireless AirPod case charger, it is reaches the same 15W phone charging heights with its Qi2 technology. The AirPods are charged at 5W, which is standard for all such multi-device magnetic chargers.You get angled landscape (up to 45 degrees) and portrait modes with this good-looking stand from one of our favorite premium accessory makers. The magnetic link is super strong so you dont need to worry about the iPhone falling off even during re-angling.If youre not in a hurry, you can still find the Anker 7.5W PowerWave model a little cheaper but we like the faster charge on the 15W version. If youre in a real hurry youd be better off using a cable than using even a 15W or 25W certified MagSafe charger anyway. 5.

This makes it less obviously portable, but its small and flat enough to slip into a backpack.As its a pad you cant angle the phone into StandBy mode. If you want to more easily see the time on your nightstand, consider one of the charging stands reviewed above. It ships with a 30W USB-C wall charger and cable.Best 3-in-1 MagSafe chargersIf you have brought full-in on the Apple product ecosystem, and have iPhone, AirPods and an Apple Watch, there are some great 3-in-1 magnetic chargers that will wirelessly charge all three devices simultaneously. 3-in-1 charging stands save you precious desk space or keep your nightstand or bedside table clear of clutter, while ensuring that you dont run out of power during the day. 1.

Previously only possible on the latest version of Apples own MagSafe Charger, 25W theoretically moves a 50% iPhone refill from 45 to just 25 minutes but environmental conditions such as temperature and the power used by the phone while being charged mean that 30-35 minutes is a more more realistic charging time for 25W. For wireless charging thats still a big leap forward.As 25W is achievable only with an iPhone 16 or 17 running at least iOS 26 its a new frontier for iPhone users. 25W chargers still work with earlier iPhones (12-15) but are pegged back at Qi2s 15W maximum. All will feel the benefit of Belkins built-in active cooling ChillBoost fan.The first Qi2 25W charger in the Macworld labs was Belkins UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Dock.

The Watch charger is detachable, meaning you can remove it and take it with you to plug directly into any USB-C charging port. This is a useful option missing from most other 3-in-1 chargers.Where this charger excels is wireless charging speed. Although it offers the same 15W speed, a fan-based cooling technology called CryoBoost with advanced heat-dissipation that makes the operation more battery friendlyresulting in significantly faster charging times. In our tests the Qi2-based ESR 3-in-1 Charger with CryoBoost took only 10 minutes longer to charge an iPhone 16 Pro to 50% than Apples 25W MagSafe Charger, reviewed at the top of this article.The ESRs Qi2 pad is not adjustable, although you can position the iPhone in either landscape (StandBy) or portrait orientations. In this way it lacks the front-facing flexibility of the HiRise 3 Deluxe, but it is available at a significantly lower price and much faster. It comes with a decent-length cable and a 30W USB-C wall charger.Its closest rival in looks is the Journey Trio 3-in-1, reviewed below, which also features a detachable Watch charger. In terms of budget, its a close run race with the Anker Qi2 MagGo 3-in-1 Stand, which has a different design and a more powerful USB-C charger. Check the prices to see which is the most affordable at the time of reading.A slightly cheaper non-CryoBoost model can be found on Amazon. If you can spend the extra on the CryoBoost model (Amazon / ESR) the cooling tech should make charging faster.Read our full ESR Qi2 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station with CryoBoost review 3.

The stylish HiRise 3 Deluxe, as its name suggests, goes more vertical and so has a smaller footprinthandy for bedside tables and other places where a giant charging stand is less welcome.It is fully Apple certified, so can fast-charge any MagSafe iPhone (iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 models but not SE) at 15W as well as fast-charge an Apple Watch (Series 7, 8, 9, SE and Ultra) at 5W and Apple AirPods (2nd and 3rd generation AirPods, and all AirPods Pro) at 7.5W. That said, in tests we did find the HiRise 3 noticeably slower than some chargers when powering up an iPhone. Look to the ESR Qi2 3-in-1 Charger with CryoBoost if you want the fastest iPhone wireless charging in a multi-device format, although that stand is not as adjustable as this one.Its 6 inches (15.4cm) high, 3.4in (8.5cm) wide and 6.3in (15.9cm) deep. In comparison, the Belkin 3-in-1 is 13.5cm wide. For an even smaller footprint, consider the OtterBox 3-in-1 Charging Station, reviewed below.The MagSafe iPhone charger can angle and tilt by 35-degrees, and hold the device in either landscape or portraitso works well in iOS StandBy mode. The Watch charger is also tiltable and we like the way everything but the AirPods case is front-facing.The base charges at 7.5W and can be used to power up AirPods or a second iPhone, and the Watch part fast charges at 5W.If you prefer the Watch charger at the back and want an option in white, we like the Journey Trio Ultra 3-in-1 Fast Wireless Charging StationRead our full Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe review 5.

You could pay half again for a full MagSafe 3-in-1 charger that offers the same 15W iPhone power.It too offers fast 15W iPhone wireless charging and 5W Apple Watch fast charging but in a coat-stand design that is sturdy and with iPhone and Watch facing the front. This differs from the ESR charger, which places a detachable Watch charger at the back. We prefer the Watch at the front so we can still interact with it, but it does make the stands base larger (5.5 inch diameter vs ESRs 3.7-inch square base).Neither the iPhone or Watch charging pad is tiltable. You can, however, position the iPhone in either landscape (StandBy) or portrait orientations. It comes with a 5-foot cable and a powerful 40W USB-C wall charger.6.

It comes with a 30W USB-C wall charger with switchable UK and EU plug fittings that slide onto the US plug prongs.Its tiny footprint means it takes up little space on your desk or bedside cable, too. If you dont own an Apple Watch, consider the equally dinky Ugreen 2-in-1 Foldable Qi2 Wireless Charging Stand, reviewed in our 2-in-1 roundup above.The stand works in landscape and portrait orientations but isnt high. It does have adjustable viewing angles up to 60.A similar 3-in-1 charger from the same company is the A-frame Anker 737 MagGo, which can also simultaneously charge an iPhone (at 15W), AirPods and Watch. Aside from the shape, the only real difference from the Anker 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe is that the slightly cheaper 737 doesnt support fast-charging for the Apple Watch.7.

At the back is a stand where you can place an iPad, which can be wired charged via a side-mounted USB-C port at up to 30W.

It works best with straight, horizontal vent slats up to 3mm in thickness and 20mm in depth. It does work with vertical slats, but there might be slight movements if the mount is overloaded with weight, says Belkin.As one of the the first dedicated MagSafe-certified 15W car mount available, it is expensive compared to some. If you can handle a lower charger rate, the Belkin BoostCharge Magnetic Wireless Car Charger 10W does pretty much the same job for a lot less. Or you can buy Spigens Mag Fit Phone Holder Car Mount and add Apples MagSafe Charger (reviewed above) for pretty much the same 15W result. That product is also available in black, like most car vents.2.

Journey ALTI Wireless Charging Desk Mat ProsStylish charging desk matReversibleCons7.5W for iPhoneBest Prices Today: RetailerPriceCheckPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketOutput charging: 7.5W (Compatible)Cable: 1.5m (5ft)Wall charger: Not includedColors: Black, Light GrayThis smart desk mat includes a detachable side strip that includes a magnetic wireless charging pad for phone and a non-magnetic section to charge your AirPods. Not only is the mat reversible, with smooth, wipeable vegan leather on one side and warmer-feel felt on the other, but you can pull back the mat to stow paper and notes to help reduce clutter.Its quite a large mat, measuring 780 x 70 x 4mm. The Light gray color is actually more of a warm stone tone.The charging panel connects to the mat with a light magnetic snap, and can be positioned on either side simply by flipping the mat round 180 degrees, depending on whether you are left or right handed.As its MagSafe compatible rather than certified, it charges the iPhone at 7.5W rather than 15W, but will charge other compatible phones at the higher power. Earbuds can be charged at up to 5W. The magnetic fit is strong so you cant knock it off its charging position with a stray flick of an arm.JourneyJourney also offers a faster and fancier version of the Alti. The Journey Alti Play, available in the US for $139.99 or Australia for AU$159.99, offers faster wireless iPhone charging (15W vs the Altis 7.5W) and cool button-controlled ambient nine-color RGB lighting effects with that will attract gamers or anyone who wants to add some effects to their workspace.As with the original Alti the magnetic charging panel can be attached to either the right or left side. It does differ in having just one non-reversible side but its fine-weave microfibre lycra cloth surface is designed for a more precise mouse action. The rubber anti-slip underside keeps the mat firmly in place.All Alti wireless charging desk mats come with a USB-C cable but require a charger; recommended 30W or higher.Best wireless charging laptop sleeveProtect your MacBook and charge your wireless devices at the same time.1.

Alternatively you can charge the MacBook itself while it sits protected in the sleevefor this youll need a more powerfulMacBook charger.Read our full Journey NEXA 4-in-1 Laptop Sleeve with Wireless Charging review Why wireless?Wireless charging is convenient and fine for situations when you dont need a super-fast recharge.If youre leaving your home in 20 minutes and need as much juice as possible, plug in a cable (USB-C for iPhone 15 or later, or Lightning for earlier iPhones) as even a 12W USB charger can power up an iPhone a third faster than wireless, and 50% faster if you use a 20W USB-C PD charger.Wireless charging is less wearing than constantly inserting a cable into your phone, and more reliable as that vulnerable cable port can fill with fluff and dust after all the time spent in your trouser pocket or bag and its one of the most common reasons that an iPhone refuses to charge even when connected with a cable.Its easy to clean with a toothpick (but please do it softly!) but will affect most of us at some time. Read our tips about how to clear dirt and fluff from your iPhones charging port.Wireless charging isnt affected by the build-up of dust and fluff in the phone port and is also less vulnerable to oxidation and corrosion.With wireless, you dont have to remember to run around trying to find whos taken your charging cable, and its certainly a lot neater.Of course, wireless charging is not really wireless, unless you are using a portable magnetic power bank. The magnetic charger is still connected by a cable to your wall charger; its just the connection to the phone that is properly wireless.What else you needSome magnetic chargers come with their own wall charger, but most require you to add your own. Apple recommends at least a 20W USB-C power adapter (wall-socket charger) and we agree unless your charger supports 25W wireless charging, in which case go with at least a 30 USB-C charger. Except for the 25W Apple Charger and new Qi2 25W chargers you wont get over 15W charging power from a magnetic charger to the iPhone, so 20W all but guarantees youll get as much power as you can.We have tested the best iPhone wall chargers to help you choose a recommended solution.
