0:00 Wireless chargers are everywhere, but which ones are actually worth your money and deliver the best experience? Well, I've tested quite a lot, and today I'm going to share with you my favorites. These come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny iPhone pucks to 4 in1 stations that power all of your Apple gear at once, plus with some surprise features that you probably haven't seen before. All of these are MagSafe or CH2 compatible, so you get the fastest 15 watt charging speeds. No calling along at 7.5 watts and the magnets snap your phone perfectly into place, maximizing efficiency every time. I think there's something here for everyone. So, let's dive in. Now, where better to start than the one that kicked it all off, Apple's own Mags
0:45 safe charger. This has been around ever since Apple first introduced MagSafe. And over the years, it has had a couple of nice upgrades, which you might not know about if you're still using the one you bought with your iPhone 12. The cable is now braided, which feels a lot more durable. And it finally comes in a 2 m long version. The original 1 m length always just felt too short for me, especially if, like me, you keep this plugged in under your bed or behind a bedside table. What I really love about this puck style charger is that you can still hold your iPhone while it's charging. And out of all the chargers on this list, this is the only one where you can do that. And that extra cable length makes it even better for those awkward charging spots. I have tried some other brands with things like kickstands built in, like this one from Belin, which does come in handy. But the
1:32 big selling point here is speed. Right now, this is the only wireless charger that can charge an iPhone 16 at up to 25 watt. At time of recording, everything else all tops out at 15. So, that extra power does make a difference. It gets an iPhone 16 Pro Max to 80% in around an hour and 10 minutes and a full charge in around 2 hours 30. So, if you've got an iPhone 16, then this is the fastest wireless charger that you can currently buy. And it is also incredibly slim at just 4.5 millimeters. It sells for £49 or dollars. And as with a lot of tech today, Apple doesn't give you a wall charger, so you will need to use your own. Now, if you prefer something that keeps your iPhone propped up while it charges, maybe for watching videos or glancing at widgets, then this next one
2:19 might be more your style. This is the Ankor Mago stand charger. It's available in two colors, Aurora White or Black Stone. The design here is all about simplicity. It's a clean and elegant stand purely for charging your iPhone. No extra charging spots, and sometimes that is just what you want. It's compact with a base that is about 8.8 by 8.8 cm, and it stands at a height just over 15 cm. The charging pad tilts up to 70°, so you can adjust the screen angle, and it rotates with this very like mechanical but satisfying sound. Like, have a listen. It's quite nice. This lets you easily switch into landscape mode. Perfect if you want to watch something while you work. And it also works brilliantly with
3:06 Apple's standby mode, which turns your iPhone into this like mini smart display when it's charging on its side. So you can show your favorite widgets, your photos with the time overlaid, or a selection of analog and digital clocks. Now, many of the other chargers in this video also support standby, but this one is by far the cleanest and the most minimal in design. It will blend seamlessly into any desk or bedside setup, and it's priced at £40 or dollars. The Mac stand is very clean and practical, but this next one, which is also from Anker, has a feature that I've genuinely never seen on any other wireless charger. This is the Mago Spotlight. It's a 15 watt G2 charger. It works in both portrait and landscape with multiple viewing angles up to 54
3:53 degrees and it too supports standby mode. So you can get all of those smart display style widgets and clock faces. Now the name spotlight just kind of makes sense when you see it. It does kind of look like one of those old timey movie studio spotlights, but instead of a light on the top, which wouldn't be much use as that's where your phone sits, the light here is tucked away underneath. It's diffused, giving you a nice bit of ambience, perfect for the bedside table if you're reading or you just want some softer light in the room. Then on the base, we get touch controls to adjust both the brightness and the color temperature. So, you can switch between those warmer and cooler tones. It's a fun little extra and I wanted to include it because it's different. It sells for £60 or dollars, but this one
4:39 actually comes with a 25 watt charger in the box. And not only that, it is modular. It has the fold out US prongs, but you also get these slide on adapters for the UK and EU in the box. And these just slide into place, so you can swap them out in seconds without fiddling around with separate plugs or converters. And I wish more brands did this because it just saves you from having to carry around a mess of different adapters. Next up, if you want to charge your iPhone and Apple Watch without a load of clutter, then a two-in-one charger is a great option. This is the Belkim Boost Charge Pro. I've actually had this one, I think, the longest. It has been living on my desk for the last year and a half or so, and it has been solid. It tucks away neatly under my desk shelf out of the way, but
5:25 still in easy reach. Design-wise, it is super sleek and modern. This one is the charcoal finish, but it also comes in sand if you prefer something a bit lighter. The 15 watt MaxF charger sits on top and it folds out to 70°, which makes it perfect for standby mode. whether it's on your desk showing widgets or on a nightstand with a clock. Around the back there is a very shiny chrome Apple Watch charger. And even if you're not in the Apple Watch club, this might still be useful to you because you can also drop your AirPods on here as well. The cable is braided for durability. We love it. But it is fixed into the charger and that is my only gripe with it. I don't know why Belin sometimes does this as a detachable cable would just make more sense in case
6:10 it ever breaks. All in all though, it is a great twoin- one. It feels sturdy, it's well built, and it fits right into any setup. It is on the pricier side at £110 or $120, but if you like something that is more substantial, that's a weightier charger, then it is definitely worth it. And Belin does give you a 30 W power supply in the box, so you're not going to have to buy an extra one. If you're already juggling between charging an iPhone and an Apple Watch, then the chances are you've also got a pair of AirPods as well, which takes us nicely into the threein ones. Starting with this one from Anker. This is their Mago 3 in1 charging pad. This is one long slim slab with like a modern look. It measures in at 23x 8.6x 1.3 cm, making
6:57 it really slim. You can get it in shell white or black stone with a matching 1.5 m USBC cable included. On the charging front, it offers a 15watt G2 wireless charger for any MagSafe iPhone, a 5W charger for your AirPods with the wireless charge case, a 5watt Apple Watch charger, and it does also come with a 40 W power supply in the box. Thank you, Anchor. Now, most 3 in1 chargers let you lay your Apple Watch down to charge it flat, but this one has a puck that you can fold up. So, if you do have like a bracelet or a loop style Apple Watch strap that doesn't detach, then you can still pop it on without having to fuff around taking the strap off, which also means that the Apple Watch can be propped up in nightstand mode, so you can easily see it on your
7:43 bedside table. Then with the iPhone, we have a charging pad that folds up to around 60 degrees, giving your iPhone some height and some tilt for some easier viewing. Now on this one, the stand itself doesn't rotate, but you can easily swivel your phone around on the magnets into landscape for using standby mode. At $90 or $100, it's a nice, elegant charger that does exactly what you want, charging all of your daily Apple tech in one tidy spot. Plus, when you fold it down, it is very slim and easy to hide under a desk shelf when you're not using it. By the way, I'm almost at 30,000 subscribers, which is like mind-blowing.

8:30 really helps out the channel and it means you won't miss what's coming next. Now, if you're looking for a three in one that is perfect for travel or on the go, then this is my all-time favorite. This thing is tiny. Yes, it is another Anchor product. I promise it's the last one. This is the Anchor Mago 3 in1 charging station. Folded up, it measures just 6 by about 3 1/2 cm. It is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and you can easily just toss this in any bag and use it to charge an iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time. The whole thing unfolds, revealing three separate charging pads. A 15 watt G2 pad for any Mags safe iPhone, a 5 watt pad for AirPods with the wireless charge case, and a 5 W puck for your Apple Watch. It's perfect for recharging all of your daily Apple essentials and
9:17 then folding it back up when you're done. It comes with a generously long 1.5 m USBC cable and a 40 W power supply in the box. Like the Spotlight we looked at earlier, this also has that modular charger. So, you get these slide on adapters so you can easily switch from a US plug to one with UK or EU style prongs. That modularity combined with its ridiculously small size just make this the perfect 3in1 for travel. I love it. And then as a bonus feature, you can fold it back on itself like this. And then when you put your iPhone on in landscape, you can still use standby mode. So, you're not missing out there either. This little charger comes in black, white, pink, or green, and it costs around £90 or dollars. I've taken it on every trip this year, and if you
10:04 want to see more of my travel tech favorites, I have a dedicated video link below that you can watch after this. Taking it up a notch next to 4 in1 chargers, I've got a couple of favorites here, starting with this from Alumu. I still do not know how to say that name. This is their MO1 folding charger, and there are three things that I love about it. First up is the styling. It's got these really cool details and vents around the sides. It's kind of giving like a a retro future vibe. They're not going for that super clean minimalist look. Like you can actually see the screws which somehow works perfectly for this design. Even the status LED isn't just some boring pin light. Like it fits in with the whole aesthetic. And number two is the folding design. So you can just use it laying down flat. And in
10:51 this position, it measures just 17.5x 8.5x 1.1 cm, making it the thinnest charger on this whole list. But you can also fold it up into a stand, which raises the CH2 pad for your iPhone up above the two 5 W pads for your AirPods and the Apple Watch. That way, you get a better view of your screen, making it easier to use while you're working. It takes up less of a footprint on your table. And yes, you guessed it. You can mount your iPhone horizontally for standby mode. And last but not least, this is a 4 in1 charger. So next to the input port, you've also got a USBC output port for plugging in a fourth accessory alongside all of your other devices. Now, it is just a 10 watt port,
11:37 so don't expect any super fast charging here. But it is just a great thing to have when you need to top up a smaller device at the same time or even something bigger if you're not in that much of a hurry. It comes in at £100 or £110. And I really just love the whole look and design here. It definitely stands out from a lot of other wireless chargers out there that just go for a much simpler, more minimalist style. So, last but not least, this is the Glide 4 in-1 by Journey. And this has a very unique feature that none of the others have. Design-wise, it's very sleek with a two-tone gray and white matte plastic finish. It does look and feel very Apple. It's got a flat boxy shape with these rounded sides and edges. I do quite like how the actual charging pads
12:23 do protrude with these like circular and square shapes to just sort of break up that slap design. And as I said, the first time I saw it, I can't help but feel like it is deliberately modeled after the iPod. Like, it's got a screen. It's got almost like a click wheel. This thing definitely feels like it is inspired by Apple. On top, you've got a CH2 charger for your iPhone, plus a pad for your AirPods. Then, it slides out to reveal a puck for the Apple Watch underneath. And this is hinged, so you can fold it up, meaning no need to remove any loop bands. So far, pretty standard stuff, right? But you might be wondering like, why is it so thick and chunky? Well, that's because it also has a builtin 10,000 mAh power bank. That
13:08 means that you can use it plugged into the wall like all of the other chargers that I've shown you, or you can cut the cable completely and charge all of your devices from the built-in battery. Even better, that then frees up the USBC port on the back, which you can now use to charge a fourth device when you're away from any power sockets. Like the M1, it's not the fastest port here. It is 12 W, so it is best suited for those smaller bits of tech. That 10K capacity can give you a full charge for an iPhone 15 or 16 with some power left over, so it can easily keep all of your Apple devices topped up since the AirPods and the Apple Watch don't need that much juice. It is definitely an interesting take on a 4 in one. It's not one that I've seen before. I really like the sliding design, but having that built-in
13:54 battery does make this thing quite chunky and also quite heavy, too. It comes in at around 395 g. That is almost twice as heavy as a 16 Pro Max. Because of that, I haven't really taken this on the go, but it has been great to just move around the house with or to take outside where there aren't any sockets. And this comes in at £130 or $170. So, that's my list of wireless chargers that I think are genuinely worth it. Links to everything will be in the description. Now, I know everyone's setup is different, so I'd love to hear your picks as well. Which do you prefer? Do you like the simple chargers for just one device or the all-in-one setups?
