Best MagSafe Chargers for Your iPhone in Every Situation

Best for: Speedy, straightforward MagSafe charging.

The official Apple MagSafe charger is your best bet if you want a simple and convenient charging experience you can rely on. Because it is built for MagSafe, this charger supports the fastest 15W MagSafe charging speeds, guaranteeing that your phone or Apple AirPods are always fully charged.

If you’re an Apple enthusiast, this charger will complement the design of your other Apple gadgets. The cable’s iconic white-and-silver color scheme matches many of Apple’s other devices, and while it isn’t the strongest on the market, it should last at least a few years of moderate use. It’s also not outrageously priced, at $39, less than many competitors.

Pros:

• 15W charging speed
• Solid design
• Not overly expensive

Cons:

• Plastic cable isn’t the strongest

Best for: Charging your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods at the same time.

With the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad, you can charge multiple MagSafe-compatible devices at the same time. It includes three slots for devices: an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and a third Qi-compatible gadget, such as a pair of AirPods.

This charger is both functional and appealing. It comes in black or white and will look right at home wherever you want to charge your gadgets. The BoostCharge also charges your devices quickly, supporting up to 15W and incorporating the fast magnetic charger for Apple Watch (it works at the faster speeds of Watch Series 7 and later). Belkin does not disclose the speed of the middle Qi charging station. However, a pair of AirPods may be fully charged overnight.

Pros:

• Great design
• Fast charging
• Charge three devices at once

Cons:

• Expensive

Best for: Charging your phone while being able to keep an eye on the screen.

If you need to use your phone while charging, consider a MagSafe charger with a kickstand, such as this handy Belkin MagSafe Wireless Charger. The kickstand design allows you to watch videos or recreate games on your phone while it’s charging, which could come in handy when you get the dreaded low battery notice.

This charger supports the increased 15W charging speed and includes a sturdy, braided nylon cable to survive any twisting abuse you can dish out. The only downside? A single-device charger is costly. However, it’s well worth it if you pay a little extra for a more convenient charger.

Pros:

• Kickstand design
• Braided nylon cable
• Fast charging

Cons:

• Expensive

Best for: Those who want MagSafe charging at a lower price.

If you want MagSafe charging without paying the high price of the MagSafe-certified chargers on this list, the Anker 313 Magnetic Wireless Charger is a good option. Before we understand why you should buy it, there are a few things to remember. Although this charger is MagSafe-compatible, it is not MagSafe-certified. As a result, it has a maximum charging speed of 7.5W, half the speed of the other MagSafe-certified chargers on our list.

But it is a good product. On the contrary, 7.5W should be fast enough to charge your phone in many situations, such as overnight charging or utilizing a backup charger at your desk at work. The only way to get a hold of this is if you’re willing to pay for it. This Anker charger still has a fantastic design and is affordable compared to the competition.

Pros:

• Solid design
• Inexpensive

Cons:

• Not MagSafe-certified
• Up to 7.5W charging speed

Best for: Keep charged up on-the-go.

The Scosche GoBat MS 5K MagSafe Power Bank is a multipurpose, must-have companion for charging while on the go. This power bank features a 5,000mAh battery with a magnetic, Qi wireless-compatible charging pad integrated into the top of the battery to make charging on the go even more convenient. Because of the battery’s capacity, you can charge any iPhone model—and then some. In terms of convenience, you are not required to use magnetic charging if you do not choose to. This charger also contains a 10-watt USB Type-C port allowing wired charging up to 10W.

The downside of this power bank is that it only has a charging speed of up to 7.5 watts, rather than the quicker 15-watt charging speed. However, this is a terrific alternative if you’re looking for something that will keep your phone completely charged wherever you go.

Pros:

• Solid design
• Big battery

Cons:

• A bit expensive
• Not MagSafe-certified

Best for: A premium Apple power bank, with smart charging features.

If you’re searching for a battery pack that enables a tighter connection with the iPhone, go no further than the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack. This battery pack’s capacity and staying power are lower than those of competitors. Still, it can connect intelligently with your iPhone like only an Apple device can. You can also use it as a charging pad if you plug it in while your iPhone is plugged in.

Notably, the charger includes smart battery management functions to aid in the health of your iPhone’s battery. You can see your phone’s charging status on the screen; the battery indicates when it is fully charged. You can also check how much juice is left in the battery, which is handy for ensuring you don’t run out of juice when needed. Interestingly, Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack can charge up to 15 watts when plugged in, but with the current software update, it only charges at 7.5 watts at most.

Pros:

• Smart charging features
• Compact design

Cons:

• Expensive
• Smaller battery than others
• Slower charging than expected

Best for: Snapping your phone onto a charger while you drive.

The Spigen OneTap Pro MagSafe charger conveniently charges your iPhone in your car. This charger attaches to your car’s dash, front window, or other surfaces, allowing you to place your phone in the most accessible (and legal) location. When you’re in the car, magnetically attach your phone to the mount, then remove it when you arrive at your destination—and blissfully enjoy a charged battery.

Because the Spigen OneTap is well-built, it will not move when driving over bumps or potholes. It only supports charging speeds of up to 7.5 watts, not 15. But it’s still fast enough to charge your phone between trips.

Pros:

• Well-designed
• Strong build
• Versatile placement

Cons:

• Only 7.5-watt charging
