Apple MagSafe Charger Review - The $35 Wireless Charger I Use Every Night
Apple
⭐ Our Verdict
Best MagSafe charger for iPhone users. Anker MagGo Qi2 is faster (15W Qi2) and has a longer cable. Apple charger has better thermal management. Both $35.
✅ Pros
- ✓15W is faster than standard Qi (7.5W)
- ✓Magnetic alignment snaps perfectly every time
- ✓Works as a stand in landscape for StandBy mode
- ✓Thin and portable for travel
- ✓No overheating (Apple manages thermals well)
⚠️ Cons
- ✗$35 + requires $19 20W adapter (not included)
- ✗Only 15W on iPhone (Anker MagGo is 15W Qi2)
- ✗Cable is permanently attached (if it breaks, it is dead)
- ✗Short 1m cable limits placement
The Apple MagSafe Charger ended my fumbling-in-the-dark charging. The magnetic snap guides the phone to perfect alignment every time. iPhone StandBy mode (clock/widget display when sideways) turns it into a useful nightstand clock.
Apple vs Anker MagSafe
Apple: 15W, 1m cable, no adapter, $35. Anker MagGo: 15W Qi2, 5ft cable, adapter included, $35. Anker is better value. Apple has slightly better thermals. Buy whichever is on sale.
