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

Purchased July 2022. It has been 3 years now and this charger has worked flawlessly. I use this exclusively in my car so that I don't have to plug/unplug a charge/data cord for my iPhone. My 2021 RAV4 has Apple CarPlay but wireless connectivity was not a feature in 2021. So to use CarPlay, I was constantly plugging and unplugging my phone, and went through 3 cords before getting this to charge wirelessly. The constant plugging and unplugging wears them out quickly. It also has the Qi charger, but it is a poor design that doesn't work well with my iPhone; I think because the raised camera lenses don't allow the phone to sit flat to benefit from the Qi charger. So I bought this to allow me to wirelessly charge my phone. (I used some gorilla putty to keep it in place.) But to use Apple CarPlay, I still needed a way to transmit the data without plugging my phone in, so I purchased an aftermarket wireless adapter that has served me well. It is great to be able to just drop my phone on the MagSafe charger when I get in the car and have it charge, and the phone connects to CarPlay via the adapter. Unlike some aftermarket MagSafe chargers, the Apple product is thin, small, and never gets hot.

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.

Pros:Amazon is an Apple authorized sellerHits charging sweet spot every timeGenuine Apple productAmazon price discountUse as you travelWorks perfectlyCharges fastLightweightSmallCons:Requires Type C 20W power adapterWe take our cover off to chargePremium product, at that priceWe waited too long to buy.Another gadget to losePhone does get warmDo yourself a favor and buy this genuine Apple MagSafe Charger. We thought competing wireless charging products would work, they do, but they fail to hit the sweet spot and fail to maximize charging. Worse, sometimes we missed setting our iPhones down correctly on the competing products and missed the charging opportunity altogether. There’s nothing worse than having an iPhone that has little battery life remaining. This eliminates that possibility and charges super-fast. The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The magnets perfectly align so at to attach to our iPhone 12 &13 Pro Max’s and charge at (15) watts, about (3x) faster than our previous off-brand charger. You will notice that, because the phone does get worm from all that juice flowing in. We waited too long to get this, and we regret that now. We also bought Apple’s 20W USB-C Power Adapter (sold separately). We were able to buy both genuine Apple products from Amazon at discounted prices which we liked. Why risk your super expensive iPhone to some no name charger. You get what you pay for, knuckle under and just buy, you won’t regret it. Works flawlessly. Two (2) thumbs up for travel use, sleek unique style, fast charging, and ease of using. We think you will agree.

My iPhone charging port doesn’t work (surprise) so I have to use the magnet charging method. I have three of these chargers because I love them so much and they hold tight to my phone. I don’t have a case with the magnet ring on it, but if I did it would hold even better.
