14 unique MagSafe accessories you need for your iPhone

Key Takeaways

MagSafe is compatible with iPhone 12 and above.
The hardware features a ring of MagSafes built around the Qi-charging standard.
Unique accessories, such as car mounts and multi-faceted chargers, can totally change your workflow.

I have a high-key obsession with MagSafe. Apple unveiled this ring of magnets with the iPhone 12 lineup, and since then, a massive marketplace of products has sprouted up, taking advantage of the ability to attach something to the back of an iPhone without adhesive.

I’ve become quite a collector of MagSafe products — overnight, I charge my iPhone on a MagSafe charger, use a MagSafe wallet while out of the house, place my iPhone on a MagSafe car mount while driving, and recharge using a MagSafe battery pack when I need a little extra juice to get me through the day.

Whoever thought a ring of magnets could be so useful and versatile? Here are 14 of my favorite MagSafe accessories that you need to check out.

Faster charging comes to the iPhone 16, but your old MagSafe gear won’t cut it

Sure, you can get faster charging on your iPhone 16 — as long as you’re willing to drop the extra bucks on some exclusive MagSafe accessories.

Apple MagSafe Charger

A reliable option for those with an iPhone that’s compatible with MagSafe.

Starting off this list is the very first MagSafe accessory: the Apple MagSafe charger. With it, you get faster, more efficient wireless charging than with Qi-certified wireless chargers. When paired with a 30W USB-C power adapter, MagSafe-compatible iPhones can receive 25W of power to fast charge from 0 to 50% in 30 minutes.

Anker Magnetic Portable Charger

A 5,000 mAh wireless portable charger with USB-C Cable that’s MagSafe compatible.

If you need to recharge on the go, this list has two great options. First up is the Anker 621 Magnetic Portable Charger, which is a 5,000mAh battery pack attaches magnetically to MagSafe-compatible iPhones for convenient on-the-go charging. It features a sleek, lightweight design and an included USB-C cable.

With Apple now embracing both Qi2 and USB-C charging standards, is it time for the company to resurrect its MagSafe Battery Pack?

Apple first introduced us to its new MagSafe wireless charging protocol with the launch of the iPhone 12 series back in 2020. In short, MagSafe introduces a circular ring of magnets to the rear panel of newer iPhones, which helps to align the inductive charging coils used for Qi wireless charging. Since then, a wide variety of MagSafe-ready charging stands and accessories have hit the market, including some from Apple itself. A fan favorite — the company’s own MagSafe Battery Pack — was released in July 2021 and then unceremoniously discontinued in September 2023 after the launch of the iPhone 15 series. Other peripheral makers have since filled the external magnetic battery void left by Apple, including excellent offerings like the Anker MagGo Power Bank or the brand-new UGREEN Magnetic Power Bank. These newer devices benefit from Qi2 certification, which is an open standard that fuses together the original Qi wireless charging specification with Apple’s own MagSafe magnet attachmen
