Apple MagSafe Charger – Wireless Charger with Fast Charging Capability, Compatible with iPhone and AirPods

This charger is expensive, but it is the smallest diameter round charger I’ve seen, which matters, because the iPhone Pro camera ‘appendage’ rubs against the edge of the larger surface diameter magnetic chargers. Seems to take longer than a direct charger, and will get very warm during charging, but I guess that is normal. It will actually turn itself off when it gets too hot. This has not occured with normal charging, it only happened when I was charging and simultaneously using a certain app that heats up the iphone by itself; combined, it resulted in too much heat. Expensive, but after buying two other magnetic chargers, this is the one I kept.

Okay, let’s talk about the Apple MagSafe Charger, the wireless charger that promises to make charging a snap. And by “snap,” they mean it. I’m not sure if you’ve ever felt the sheer satisfaction of magnets perfectly aligning, but let me tell you, it’s a moment of pure magic. If you’ve got an iPhone 12 or later, this charger will attach with precision and provide faster wireless charging at up to 15W. Now that’s some serious charging power!

But wait, there’s more! The MagSafe Charger also maintains compatibility with Qi charging. So, if you’re still rocking an iPhone 8 or later, or if you have AirPods with a wireless charging case, you can join in on the wireless charging fun too. It’s like a big wireless charging party that even older iPhones and AirPods can be a part of.

Now, here’s the catch. The magnetic alignment experience only applies to iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15. Sorry, folks, if you’ve got any other iPhone model, the magnetic magic is not for you. You’ll have to settle for regular wireless charging without the enchanting snap.

Let’s not forget about the USB-C integrated cable that comes with the charger. Apple always knows how to keep things sleek and minimal, even with their cables. You get a 1-meter cable, which is just enough to keep things convenient without adding unnecessary clutter.

But wait, hold your horses! Before you get too excited about this wireless charging dream, you need to know that the Apple MagSafe Charger does not come with the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter. Nope, that’s sold separately. Remember, this is Apple we’re talking about. They’re not giving away charger adapters for free. So, make sure you have the right adapter to power up this wireless charging wonder.

Now, let’s break it down into pros and cons, because every review needs a little list:

Pros:
– Perfectly aligned magnets for a satisfying charging experience
– Faster wireless charging up to 15W for iPhone 12 and later models
– Compatible with Qi charging for older iPhones and AirPods with wireless charging case
– Sleek and minimal design with an integrated USB-C cable
– Apple quality and reliability (you know it’s going to last)

Cons:
– Magnetic alignment experience only applies to specific iPhone models
– Expensive, because it’s Apple (and the adapter is sold separately)

In conclusion, the Apple MagSafe Charger is a wireless charging solution that delivers that satisfying magnetic snap for iPhone 12 and later models. It’s sleek, convenient, and provides faster charging speeds. However, the price tag might give you some pause, especially knowing that you’ll need to purchase the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter separately. If you’re an Apple aficionado and insist on having the latest and greatest, then this charger is for you. But if you’re looking for a more affordable option that works with a wider range of devices, you might want to explore other wireless charging alternatives. The choice is yours, my friend, may you find charging bliss in whichever path you choose.

I bought this charger as yet another option for our household iPhone collection. Initially, I would’ve rated it as a three star product because of the frustration I had trying to get my phone and the charger to connect properly. My phone would slide around on the charger and if it wasn’t perfectly aligned, it wouldn’t charge. I didn’t see the point but I also didn’t Want to return a product I had already opened so I kept it. And I’m glad I did. My new iPhone 15 just arrived the other day and this is the perfect accessory for a 15 and possibly older versions. My phone and the charger connect immediately and intuitively. They pull together to the correct charging connection/alignment. It’s a fast charge, I like the slim design, and the fact that the 15 and this charger works so well together make it a 5+ star product.
