Charge your iPhone wirelessly with speeds of up to 15W using a MagSafe charger; it magnetically aligns for ease of use.

Apple introduced MagSafe with the iPhone 12 series, and it has quickly become one of the most exciting features on the latest iPhones. MagSafe supports faster-charging speeds of up to 15W, but what is special about a MagSafe charger is that it uses magnets to automatically and precisely align the charger on the back of your phone.

True MagSafe chargers support a maximum output of 15W on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models, but some affordable, non-official MagSafe options only support 7.5W, which is still great if you want the convenience of MagSafe without the premium price.

Here are the best MagSafe chargers for your iPhone.

The Belkin BOOSTCHARGE PRO 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad with MagSafe is the best MagSafe charger for multiple devices. It has dedicated charging spots for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods that allow you to charge all your Apple devices at once. While the price may raise a few eyebrows, this charging pad offers features that no other multi-device charger has, making it a worthwhile investment if you have multiple Apple devices.

Belkin has made 3-in-1 charging stations with MagSafe in the past, but this is the first to support fast charging on both the iPhone and Apple Watch. It delivers 15W MagSafe charging for iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models and can charge the latest Apple Watch Series 7 33 percent faster than the standard charger. You can raise the Apple Watch charging puck to use nightstand mode or adjust its height to fit different Apple Watch models and sizes.

The charging pad feels well built and durable. It's made from plastic, but the soft-touch finish and extra weight make it feel more premium than other third-party MagSafe chargers. It comes in white or black and has a simple lay-flat design that fits into most desk setups and nightstands. Belkin also includes a 40W AC adapter, something you don't get with the official MagSafe chargers from Apple.

When it comes to iPhone accessories, no brand does it better than Apple itself. The Apple MagSafe Charger delivers the best MagSafe charging experience in a simple and compact package that you can take with you anywhere. It's easy to use and snaps securely onto the back of your iPhone, allowing you to use your phone while it charges.

This official MagSafe charger supports fast charging up to 15W on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 handsets. You can also use it to charge your AirPods and older iPhones that support Qi wireless charging.

It comes with an integrated 3.3-foot USB-C charging cable, but you'll need a separate power adapter to charge your devices. Apple recommends a 20W or higher USB-C power adapter for the fastest charging speeds.

The ESR HaloLock Kickstand Wireless Charger is a simple and affordable MagSafe charger with a few tricks up its sleeve. It comes with a slide-out kickstand you can use to hold your iPhone in an upright or horizontal position when you want to watch something while charging. You can even remove the included charging cable to use it as a standard phone stand.

The charger comes with a sleek and stylish aluminum body that makes it feel both solid and premium. It has a strong magnetic attachment and an extra-long USB-C charging cable that gives you lots of freedom to move around or use your phone while you charge.

It charges slower than the official MagSafe charger, but it can charge a dead iPhone to 100 percent in about 2.5 hours.

The Apple MagSafe Duo Charger is one of the best MagSafe portable chargers you can buy for your iPhone. It's a 2-in-1 wireless charging pad designed to charge an iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 and an Apple Watch at the same time without taking up too much space. What makes it stand out is that it folds in half to take up less space in your pocket or bag when traveling.

The MagSafe Duo charges the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models at up to 14W when paired with a 27W or higher USB-C adapter. That's slightly slower than the standard MagSafe Charger, which delivers the full 15W, but the difference in charging speeds isn't noticeable.

You can charge your Apple Watch flat or upright to put your watch in nightstand mode to use as an alarm for your bedside table.

Belkin's BOOSTCHARGE PRO 2-in-1 Wireless Charger Stand with MagSafe is a magnetic charging stand that comes with charging spots for the iPhone and AirPods. It's one of the few MagSafe charger stands that delivers the full 15W output, the fastest wireless charging speeds on the iPhone 12 and 13.

There's a Qi pad at the bottom to wirelessly charge your AirPods as well. The stand features a raised and slightly angled MagSafe charger that keeps your iPhone visible from anywhere, making it easy to check notifications whether you are laying on the bed or working. And unlike the Apple MagSafe Duo Charger, you can charge your phone in both portrait and landscape orientation, which comes in handy if you want to watch some videos.

Belkin also includes all the required accessories, including an AC power adapter.

The Anker PowerWave 2-In-1 Magnetic Stand Lite is a simple and affordable way to charge your iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 and AirPods at the same time. It offers a magnetic charging puck for the iPhone and an AirPods Qi wireless charging base for less than half the price of the Belkin 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger Stand. Sure, it charges at 7.5W instead of 15W like the Belkin, but it's still fast enough for most people.

The design and shape of the stand are almost similar to the Belkin 2-in-1 charger stand. You can easily see your phone and notifications when it's charging and it allows for both vertical and horizontal orientations. What stands out about the PowerWave 2-In-1 Magnetic Stand Lite is that the iPhone charger is adjustable, so you can tilt or rotate your phone to find the perfect angle for your nightstand or desk.

The magnetic connection is strong even when using your phone with a case, and there are charging indicators for both the phone and AirPods. The only downside is the lack of an AC adapter, but even after buying the wall plug, the total cost will still be lower than the 2-in-1 Magsafe chargers from Apple and Belkin.

The ESR HaloLock All-in-1 Car Wireless Charging Set is an ideal option for those looking for a MagSafe car charger. The set includes a MagSafe compatible wireless charging vent mount, a 36W car adapter, and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable.

It can mount and charge any of the most recent iPhones with MagSafe at a maximum charging speed of 7.5W. The vent mount works with most air vents and has an additional support arm for increased stability.

What makes it even better is that it has 1,400 grams of holding force, making it one of the strongest magnetic phone mounts. ESR claims it can support six times the weight of an iPhone 13 Pro Max, so it is powerful enough to keep your phone in place even when driving in rough and uneven terrain.

Native Union is one of the few brands directly recommended by Apple for iPhone accessories. Its Snap Magnetic Wireless Charger comes with an extra-long 10-foot USB-C cable that lets you easily use your phone while it is charging from anywhere in the room. No more standing next to a wall outlet to reply to messages or jump on a phone call.

The cable is braided for improved durability and comes with a leather strap to reduce the length or keep it tangle-free when not in use. The charging puck is made from aluminum, giving it a sleek and premium feel.

While charging speeds are limited to 7.5W on the iPhones, it is still a fast charger and can top up your iPhone in less than three hours.

All official MagSafe chargers support fast charging up to 15W, which is the fastest wireless charging speed on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series. That also means MagSafe is faster than Qi wireless charging, which supports 7.5W, but not as fast as wired charging.

MagSafe works like any wireless charger, but the main difference is that MagSafe uses magnets to automatically attach to the back of the iPhone. That means you don't have to fuss over getting the perfect alignment every time you want to charge your phone; simply snap and charge.

A MagSafe charger offers more than just faster charging speeds. Being able to put your phone on a wireless charger without having to worry about getting the perfect alignment each time is something that cannot be understated.

Plus, you can easily use your phone while it's charging, something not possible with non-MagSafe wireless chargers. While more expensive than Qi chargers, MagSafe charging is worth the money and is one of the best things to happen to the iPhone.
