Have you ever placed your iPhone on a wireless charger before bed, only to wake up and find it never actually charged because it wasn't lined up properly? A charger with Apple's MagSafe wireless standard might be in order. We've been writing about the iPhone since its 2007 debut and MagSafe since its introduction on the iPhone 12, so we can help point you toward some worthwhile options in our list below. We also include a short guide to help you decide which MagSafe product to buy.

Best for Maximum Compatibility

Apple MagSafe Charger (2024)

Why We Picked It

This is the official MagSafe charger from Apple, so you know it will work with your iPhone without issue. It might not be as cheap as some third-party options, but it's still the least expensive model Apple sells.

Who It's For

Anyone who feels uneasy about buying third-party products should pick the Apple MagSafe charger.

Most Versatile

Anker 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe Charger

Why We Picked It

Anker's 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe charger replenishes your iPhone's battery at 15W and supports both landscape and portrait orientation for maximum viewing versatility. Additional charging surfaces for your AirPods and Apple Watch add to the appeal and can save you space. We like the charger's sleek looks and collapsible design, too.

Who It's For

If you want to charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch at the same time, this Anker model can accommodate them. Just keep in mind that its convenience comes at a high cost.

Best for Kickstand Fans

Belkin UltraCharge Magnetic Charger with Qi2 25W SKU: WIA014ttBK

Why We Picked It

The Belkin UltraCharge Magnetic Charger offers faster wireless charging up to 25W, with passive cooling to help keep heat in check. Qi2 certification means this charger can be used with non-iPhones, too. 

Who It's For

If you want a charger that does more than just lie there, this Belkin device keeps your phone in a glanceable upright position. Belkin offers the UltraCharge in black or white and in round or square shapes. 

Satechi 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station

Satechi 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Station, Qi2 15W Magnetic, Foldable Travel Charger Station for iPhone 16/15/14/13/12, A

Why We Picked It

This 3-in-1 charger from Satechi lets you juice up your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch simultaneously. It also folds down for easy storage in your bag or suitcase, so you can take it wherever you go.

Who It's For

The Satechi 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station is best for anyone who needs an ultra-portable charger for all their small Apple devices.

Anker MagGo 15W Qi2 MagSafe Charging Pad (No Adapter)

Anker MagGo Magnetic Wireless Charger (Pad)

Why We Picked It

Anker's MagGo Magnetic Wireless Charger Pad offers all the key features you need for about half the price of Apple's entry. It supports charging speeds of up to 15W, is available in black or white, and conveniently ships with a 5-foot USB-C-to-USB-C cable.

Who It's For

This is the MagSafe charger to get if you want to save money and don't care about buying Apple-branded accessories. Qi2 support could come in handy for your other devices, and you can add a 25W wall adapter for just a few extra dollars.

Best for iPhone and AirPods

Belkin UltraCharge 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger with Qi2 25W SKU: WIZ039ttBK

Why We Picked It

The Belkin UltraCharge 2-in-1 Foldable charger is a versatile choice with a charging base for your compatible AirPods case and a mount that showcases and charges your iPhone. This model charges iPhones at up to 25W wirelessly for quick battery top-ups.

Who It's For

Apple fans with a MagSafe-compatible iPhone and wireless-charging-enabled AirPods should strongly consider this Belkin charger for its two-in-one convenience. It comes in two shapes, round or square, so choose the model that best fits your nightstand or desk.

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.
