If you're an Apple fan, chances are you have a drawer filled with white wires and adapters for charging or connecting your AirPods, Apple Watch, and iPhone. This chaotic array is at odds with Apple's sleek, streamlined design aesthetic. Luckily, the rise of wireless charging makes this an easy problem to fix.

We've selected our favorite wireless chargers that handle anything from your iPhone to your entire Apple device lineup. Note that these are mostly for older models that don't support MagSafe, though we've included some MagSafe options here. If you have a newer iPhone or other compatible Apple product, check out our list of the best MagSafe chargers that offer faster 15W charging speeds.


Best Charger From Apple

Apple MagSafe Charger (2024)

Apple’s latest MagSafe Charger offers versatile functionality across the company's line of iPhones, supporting Qi (7.5W) and Qi2 (15W) wireless charging for both Apple and non-Apple products. It delivers 15W of wireless power for the iPhone 15 and earlier models, while the iPhone 16 series benefits from faster 25W charging for quicker top-offs.

Most Affordable Charging Stand

Amazon Basics Wireless Charging Stand

Amazon's Wireless Charging Stand is as simple as it gets. It supports speeds of up to 10W, works with phone cases up to 5mm thick, and plugs into a wall adapter via USB-C (you have to provide a charging brick). An LED on the front indicates when your device is properly aligned for charging.

Most Versatile Charging Stand

Belkin BoostCharge 10W Fast Wireless Charging Stand

Belkin’s Quick Charge 10W Fast Wireless Charging Stand is a fine option if you like to use your iPhone while charging. It cleverly supports your device in either a portrait or a landscape orientation. It has a helpful LED indicator that alerts you if another object on the stand is interfering with charging.

Best for Wide Compatibility

Anker 313 Wireless Charger (Stand)

The Anker 313 stand is compatible with any Qi-enabled phone, including Apple models. It features no magnets; it holds your phone with a simple shelf. The only downside is its slow charging—up to 7.5W max for iPhones.

Best for Charging Three Devices at Once

mophie - Wireless Charging Stand+ 3-In-1 - Black

Mophie’s Wireless Charging Stand + 3-in-1 simultaneously charges all of your compatible Apple devices without cable clutter. The stand supports speeds of up to 15W and can charge your iPhone through your case, as long as it's less than 3mm thick. It also allows you to use your phone in StandBy mode, thus replacing your bedside clock for good.

Most Stylish Wireless Charger

Courant Catch:2 Essentials

The svelte Courant Catch:2 Essentials wireless charging pad comes in several colors of Belgian linen. It supports 7.5W Qi charging for two devices and has five wireless coils, so you don't have to worry about putting your phone down in just the right place. If you want faster speeds, you must upgrade to the pricier Classic edition, which sports Italian leather and offers 10W charging.

Best 3-in-1 Charging Pad With MagSafe

Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 (2024)

Belkin's Quick Charge Pro 3-in-1 pad can charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch simultaneously. It has MagSafe, too, meaning it offers speeds of up to 15W for most newer iPhones. Just prepare to spend a bit more for it than others on this list.

Best Low-Cost Wireless Pad

AT&T Charging Pad

The AT&T Wireless Charging Pad offers up to 15W of power and works with cases up to 8mm thick—so long as your case doesn't include magnets or metal attachments. It also comes with a USB-C-to-USB-C cable for connecting to a wall adapter and has a soft finish for keeping your phone stable.

Best Wireless Charger from Google

Google Pixelsnap Phone Charger - Fast-Charging 25W Qi2 Wireless Charger - Compatible with Pixel Phones and Qi-Certified

Google's Pixelsnap Charger relies on the Qi2 wireless charging standard, which supports magnets that align the charger with your phone's charging coils. Further, it handles up to 25W of power delivery for Google's Pixel phones, and up to 15W for the iPhone, which is twice as quick as other Qi chargers.

My Experience

I've been into technology for as long as I can remember. As a PCMag mobile writer, I get to test the newest phones and tablets. Since you rely on our buying advice, I make sure you get everything a manufacturer claims, which means lots of testing. This is your phone we're talking about; it's like a part of you. I've covered technology as a career for around two decades (yikes, I had to think about that). You've seen my work at The Apple Blog, PCMag (from my first go around), This Week in Tech, and CNET. I also occasionally produce independent video projects, including This Old Nerd, a how-to series that shows practical ways to get the most from your tech.

The Technology I Use

I use a 2023 M3 MacBook Pro customized with lots of keyboard shortcuts thanks to Raycast. Pixelmator Pro is my go-to photo editing application because there is no subscription, and I'm trapped with Evernote because I've used it forever.

I'm between phones at the moment, but I use a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 now, and used a Z Fold 6 before that. Considering that I like to have multiple windows open at once, the large inner screen of folding phones can show a baseball game on the top while I keep a chat app and Reddit open beneath. I do miss being able to write on the Z Fold 7's screen, though, which has me eyeing a Galaxy S25 Ultra.

My home is semi-smart, with many Google Home products that I thoroughly enjoyed in the pre-Gemini days. Be warned: smart bulbs are a gateway drug into smart home life.

My Experience

I’m a mobile writer at PCMag, which means I cover wireless phones, plans, tablets, ereaders, and a whole lot more. I’ve written countless reviews and have appeared in numerous videos discussing the latest technology. I’ve always loved it and have been forming opinions on consumer electronics since childhood. Prior to joining PCMag, I covered TVs and home entertainment at CNET, served as the tech and electronics reviews fellow at Insider, and began my career by writing laptop reviews as an intern at Tom's Hardware. I am also a professional actor with credits in film, television, and theater, and membership in both SAG-AFTRA and Actors' Equity Association.

The Technology I Use

I’ve been an Apple fan for a long time. I use an iPhone 14 Pro, and I don’t plan to upgrade any time soon. I like to hold on to my phones for a few years. Maybe I'll upgrade if Apple sells a flip phone.

I use two different Apple computers in my daily life. I recently bought a maxed-out 15-inch MacBook Air for work and other activities. Despite my brand-new computer, I can’t quit using my 2012 MacBook Pro. It still works flawlessly and houses my large collection of ebooks. When traveling, I often use my 10.5-inch iPad Pro and Logitech keyboard case for streaming television and light internet use.

But my favorite piece of tech is my Kindle Paperwhite. I use it every day and it comes with me wherever I go. I read both physical and digital books, but the Paperwhite is currently my favorite ereader.
