Apple MagSafe Charger - Wireless Charger with Fast Charging Capability, Type C Wall Charger, Compatible with iPhone and AirPods

Setting a phone down on a wireless pad often means hunting for the exact spot where charging actually starts, and a small nudge can break the connection overnight. The Apple MagSafe Charger removes that guesswork with magnets that pull the puck into position on iPhone 12 and later, holding the alignment steady and supporting wireless charging of up to 15W. The housing combines plastic and metal, and a USB-C cable measuring 1 metre is built into the unit rather than detachable.

Qi compatibility widens what it works with, so it also charges iPhone 8 and later along with AirPods models that use a wireless charging case, in the same way any Qi-certified charger would.

• Magnetic alignment applies to iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 only. Older iPhones and AirPods cases charge by Qi without the magnetic snap.

No power adapter is included. Apple recommends its 20W USB-C Power Adapter, purchased separately.

Positioning the puck on a nightstand or desk is straightforward because the cable exits the charger permanently, which means there is one fewer loose accessory to misplace but also no option to swap in a longer cable if the power adapter sits further away than a metre. Planning the placement before buying is worth the effort. A desk with a USB-C port built into a monitor or docking station can power the charger directly, removing the need for a wall socket nearby, though confirming the port delivers adequate wattage is sensible before relying on it.

The flat, puck-shaped format sits unobtrusively under a phone rather than propping it at an angle, which suits people who prefer to keep a phone screen-down while sleeping or who use the phone as a desk clock during the day. The cable can be loosely coiled and secured with a twist tie for travel without stressing the point where it meets the puck. Shoppers comparing wireless chargers of this type should look at whether magnetic alignment is genuinely important to them, since it only activates on the iPhone models listed, and anyone primarily charging AirPods or an older iPhone will get standard Qi speeds without that feature.
