Whether you just ordered a shiny new iPhone 14 or are still hopping along with an older model, you’re probably all too familiar with the dinky 5W iPhone adapter that takes hours to fully charge your battery. The good news is that you can fully power up in less than half the usual time with the right fast charger. Here's what you need to know.
Apple MagSafe Charger
Apple MagSafe Charger (2024)
Apple's MagSafe charger is a nice step up in terms of speed. When paired with a 30W or 40W charging brick, it supports wireless charging speeds of up to 25W—the fastest ever for the iPhone. It also supports Qi2 charging at 15W and Qi charging at 7.5W. And because it's MagSafe, it magnetically adheres to the back of your iPhone.
Best for Compatibility
Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max
Apple’s new-for-2025 40W Dynamic Power Adapter is understated, relatively affordable, and guaranteed to work well with your iPhone. Apple sells it as a standalone item, so you might need to pick up a cable separately depending on which iPhone you have. It can dynamically adjust how much power it supplies based on the product you need to power up; it can also handle iPads and select MacBooks.
Best for Charging on the Go
Anker 511 Charger (Nano Pro)
Looking for a fast, inexpensive iPhone charger that easily fits in your pocket or bag? This 20W model is much smaller than Apple's official accessory and recharges your iPhone in a hurry. It also comes in fun colors, like pink, purple, and blue.
Best 45W Charger

Aside from its affordable price, the charger has a premium build quality and supports maximum charging speeds of up to 45W. It's a good all-around power adapter for iPhones and iPads, plus it can deliver the fastest charging speeds for iPhone 17 Pro Max owners.
