The best MagSafe accessories for your iPhone in 2022

The official MagSafe Charger from Apple is your best bet for fast, reliable charging. The proprietary technology ensures the magnets align perfectly for efficient charging. The best part? It supports Qi charging so you can use it to charge your iPhone 8 and newer devices. However, keep in mind that the increased charging speeds up to 15 watts work only with iPhone 12 and 13 ranges for now. Obviously, the exact charging speed will vary based on your adapter and other conditions, but official MagSafe chargers tend to offer much higher charging speeds compared to the typical wireless charger. 

If you hate waiting for your devices to charge, Belkin’s MagSafe 3-in-1 Wireless Charger could be an excellent MagSafe accessory for you. This 3-in-1 charger can power your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods — all at once. You can also choose between two colors: Black and white to match your iPhone. It’s also well-constructed and aesthetically pleasing, so you can place it anywhere in your house and it still looks great. 

An important consideration to keep in mind is that you need a MagSafe-compatible case (see below) for this charger to work with your iPhone. 

The iPhone 12 | 12 Pro Silicone Case with MagSafe from Apple is a classic choice for new MagSafe users. Available in more than a dozen colors, this gorgeous case is just as functional as it is attractive. 

Just like Apple’s MagSafe Charger, this MagSafe case uses perfectly aligned magnets for improved performance. The most convenient feature of this case is its silicone finish. It’s easy to hold, doesn’t let the phone slide off surfaces, and is easy to clean. It’s a great choice for people looking for devices that offer great benefits with minimal maintenance. 

If you are looking for a minimalistic transparent case, take a look at the OtterBox Symmetry Series+. Its polished, see-through look lets you flaunt your iPhone while protecting it from damage. Its slim design is easy to hold and quite attractive. Cases in the OtterBox Symmetry Series+ are MagSafe-compatible, meaning they work well for charging iPhone 12 models. 

If you want to play it safe and pick an official MagSafe case from Apple, we recommend the classic Apple Clear Case with MagSafe. Made by Apple itself, the case fits well and the well-aligned magnets offer a smooth charging experience.

You can choose from a wide selection of colors to match your outfits and aesthetic. The best part? With Apple’s improved optimization, the case resists yellowing and lasts longer. 

TheMagSafe Battery Pack from Apple is a portable accessory to help you keep your iPhone charged on the go. It is a slim and sturdy battery pack with a 1,460mAh capacity, which is slightly more than 50% of the iPhone 12 Mini’s 2,227mAh battery, but it can also juice it up to more than a full charge, thanks to the higher 7.62V rating. It’s easy to use and charges your device quickly, but some users feel it doesn’t match the iPhone 12 aesthetic, especially since there aren’t any color options. 

People who use their iPhones while driving (for navigation, calling, etc.) may benefit from using the Belkin MagSafe Car Vent Mount Pro. The mount holds your iPhone in place when you are driving, which can make it easier to view maps, stream entertainment, or access hands-free calling. 

If you spend a lot of time in your car, it helps to have a handy charger in your vehicle. Enter the Mophie Snap+ Wireless Vent Mount.. This is a magnetic mounting device that lets you connect your iPhone to your car so it can charge while you are driving. 

An important feature to consider here is that the Mophie Snap+ Wireless Vent Mount also works with other Qi-enabled devices, so your whole family can use it. Do keep in mind that this is not an official MagSafe product. It is just a magnetic charger designed to work with iPhones. This means it will not match Apple’s 15W charging speed and will have a 7.5W limit. 

The Joby GripTight Mount for MagSafe is a MagSafe-compatible mounting accessory featuring a hybrid clamp offering 360-degree rotation and letting you easily switch between landscape and portrait mode. It works well with the GorillaPod, making it an excellent tool for content creators and streamers. Just like the Belkin MagSafe Car Vent Mount Pro, this device is only a magnetic mount and does not have the functionality to charge your iPhone. 

Mophie’s 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe is the popular iPhone accessory maker’s answer to Apple’s MagSafe Duo, with a couple of useful twists. For one thing, it not only includes the power adapter — something that Apple charges extra for — but you also get a nice travel case to keep it all together when you’re on the road. It also doesn’t just charge your iPhone at 15W MagSafe speeds and your Apple Watch, but there’s also an extra spot to juice up your AirPods. You can also use the MagSafe or AirPods spots to charge up other Qi-compatible devices, although only at slower 5W charging speeds.

If you just need to prop up your iPhone to watch your favorite YouTube videos or get on a FaceTime call, Mophie’s Portable Magnetic Stand is a great option. It doesn’t offer any charging capabilities, but that’s not a bad thing. This makes it an affordable way to hold your iPhone securely in places where you don’t want to deal with wires, like keeping a recipe handy while you’re cooking. The two metal hinges let you adjust it to any angle, and it folds up nicely when you’re not using it, which means you can take it with you just about anywhere.
