A quick overview of MagSafe
Most of the wireless chargers in this guide are MagSafe Wireless Chargers. This means that they take advantage of the magnets built into the back of the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14And iPhone 15 range. I cannot stress this enough: If you buy a case, make sure it is a MagSafe Case. We have several third-party options in the case guides linked above. A regular iPhone case will weaken the attraction of the magnets in the device and will not stick to MagSafe accessories as well.
What is the point of MagSafe? You don’t have to worry about misalignment with the wireless charger, which means you won’t wake up to a dead iPhone. Technically, this perfect alignment means the chargers can deliver a faster 15-watt charge, but Apple has limited this benefit to certain products from a few brands. MagSafe is also available in the AirPods charging case (depending on the brand). on your model). Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Pro with the Wireless Charging Case will work with almost any standard Qi wireless charging pad on these chargers (as will many third-party wireless headphones), but if you have AirPods with MagSafe, you can also connect them to the magnetic mounts. If you don’t have a MagSafe iPhone, your device won’t be able to connect to these chargers, though we have some recommendations for older iPhones (and iPhone SE).
