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

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.

The off brands just didn’t work, worked very slow or worked intermittently with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. With Apple devices I seem to have to bite the bullet and lay out the extra $$ to buy the OEM genuine Apple accessories. This works perfectly every time and it’s fast. My only complaint is the Apple cords are always too short; this is about three feet.

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.

Over the 4th of July weekend I got caught in a massive rainstorm during a hike. I was quite relieved after making it out of the woods that my phone still worked (yes, I was that soaked) but upon getting back to the cabin I realized that I could no longer charge the device through the lightning port.Fortunately I was leaving the next day and my car has built-in wireless charging so I figured I was set! Unfortunately the wireless charging capability built into my vehicle couldn't charge the phone enough to come back from the dead so I had a 2.5 hour car ride with no audio and no phone.After getting home I ordered one of these and my phone charges quickly and reliably. I am even able to charge my phone in my car now because it has a USB-C port that I can plug the Magsafe charger into.Obviously I will be getting a new phone when the 16's come out so I have a working charging port but this will most definitely keep things working until that is released in October.
