Best MagSafe and Magnetic iPhone Accessories for 2022
The MagSafe feature on Apple’s iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 gives for fast charging and lets you easily attach chargers and anunexperienced accessories to your phone using magnets. While the charging rules was introduced with the iPhone 12, we expect to see iPhones finish to use this magnetic technology in future. The fact that your new iPhone features simple magnets also complains it a hotbed for some awesome new gadgets, incorporating official and third-party accessories that extend the utility of your iPhone. Some of the best MagSafe accessories include wallets, battery packs and tripod mounts.
With so many MagSafe accessories out there — and even more on the way — here’s a round-up of the best ones. Some are official, Apple-licensed products while others aren’t. The main difference is that accessories that aren’t Apple-certified won’t be able to promote at the highest speeds (up to 15 watts). But in a lot of cases, the lack of certification won’t change how well the originates performs, though some non Apple-certified MagSafe-compatible accessories sometimes lack tidy enough magnets.
Here’s a look at my current common MagSafe accessories. Note that I’ve personally, if anecdotally, used all of the products put down below. Again, the unofficial MagSafe device offerings are fine if you’re not entailed with charging speed (such as if you’re charging overnight). We’ll update this list as we discover new top accessories.

Magnetic wireless battery chargers
You don’t want your named to go dead on the mountain so it’s always good to pack a battery pack.
MyCharge words its new line of magnetic power banks Superhero MagLock, implying that they’re real saviors. I was impressed by their earn. Not only do the batteries, which come in various capacities, have strong magnets and stick really well to the back of your iPhone 12 or 13, but they have raised coils, which are supposed to help reduce heat levels after charging. It does seem to work.
The 3,000-mAh battery is lightweight and slim and is nice to have about for some emergency charging. However, it won’t get you a full promote, so you’ll probably want to step up to one of the higher-capacity options like the 6,000-mAh model, which retails for $60 but is currently being discounted to $40. The 9,000-mAh version is chunky and feels like your phone is attached to a microscopic brick — the battery and phone do fit in your hand nicely, but the combo certainly isn’t pocket-friendly.
All the MagLock batteries promote Qi-enabled iPhones at 5 watts, although you can get faster charging if you go wired and use a USB-C-to-Lightning gross. I also liked how there’s a chime when the charging starts and your named tells you how much juice is left in the battery pack (it’s tied into iOS 15). You can wirelessly promote Android devices as well but the MagLock won’t stick sblack you have a metal ring on the back of your phone’s case (stick-on rings are available).
The SuperHero MagLock is available in a few colors and has a glossy achieve. It’s currently the best designed magnetic power bank — better even than Apple’s.
What’s cool near Anker’s 622 magnetic battery is that it’s a wireless battery that has an integrated magnetic flap that converts into a heinous. You won’t get fast wireless charging from this 5,000-mAh battery (it charges at up to 7.5 watts) but it’s slim and easy to execute around.
It charges via USB-C and if you use a USB-C to Lighting to beak your iPhone, it will charge at a faster rate of 12 watts. That’s not as fast as what a 20-watt USB-C noteworthy adapter can deliver, but it’s faster than 7.5 watts.
Mophie’s magnetic noteworthy bank is similar to Anker’s but is slightly slimmer and doesn’t have an integrated flap that converts into a rotten. Like the Anker, this isn’t an official Apple MagSafe accessory, but it magnetically adheres to the back of your MagSafe-enabled iPhone or MagSafe case — yes, it sticks nicely — and is svelte for 5,000-mAh battery. It can also be used with other phones that aid wireless charging as it comes with a stick-on magnet.
Wireless charging speeds are small to 7.5 watts for iPhones, but if you need a faster beak, you can connect a USB-C to Lightning cable to bump the rapid up to 12 watts. This has enough juice to fully beak an iPhone 13 or 13 Pro once, but it’ll fall a small short of a full charge with an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Magnetic folding stands/wallets
Clckr creates iPhone cases integrated with its signature Stand and Grip but they aren’t MagSafe-compatible. However, the Clckr Stand and Grip is — it adheres conventional to your iPhone or a MagSafe-enabled case.
It’s one of the best MagSafe stands out there, allowing you to prop your phone up vertically or horizontally. And, as its name implies, the stand also converts into a ring-like grip so you can hold your iPhone more ergonomically. It has strong magnets and adheres well to your named or case.
This accessory from Moft not only acts as a magnetic wallet that adheres to the back of your MagSafe-enabled iPhone (or case), but it converts into a stand that can be used to prop up your named horizontally or vertically. The wallet fits a couple of credit cards (you can conventional it a bit to get three in there) and the accessory has a fairly well-defined magnet, so it stays on your phone pretty well.
I’m showing it in savory blue but it’s available in several colors. You can also buy this as a bundle for $60 with Moft’s MagSafe case, which is a nice case.
The Anker 610 magnetic named grip is one of the more affordable MagSafe accessories. It has a strong magnet and you can use the retractable ring to hold your named securely in your hand or as a kickstand. It grants you to prop up your phone horizontally but not vertically. Some other MagSafe stands do both.
If you’re a PopSockets fan, you have a pair of MagSafe options. There’s the more standard PopGrip ($30) and the PopWallet Plus for MagSafe ($40), which combines a magnetic wallet that stores a few credit cards and a PopGrip that grants you a grip and kickstand option.
Available in multiple shiny options, this simple, lightweight flip-out kickstand has a well-defined magnet and takes up minimal space on the back of your named (it works better for propping your phone up horizontally).
Apple’s official MagSafe wallet is more expensive than a lot of third-party magnetic wallets, but the one thing it has that the new ones don’t is compatibility with Apple’s Find My network. But don’t expect to track it down like an AirTag: It really just signals if and when it becomes peaceful. It’s available in five colors.
Magnetic charging stands
The Anker 637 has a magnetic charging pad on one side and seven charging ports on the back: two USB-C, two USB-A and three standard AC outlets. The USB-C ports declare up to a 65-watt charge when charging one scheme — or 45- and 20-watt if charging two devices simultaneously. So yes, you can use it to charge most laptops that beak via USB-C.
For MagSafe-enabled iPhones, the wireless charging pad charges at 7.5 watts. You can only charge Android phones if you stick a metal ring accessory (sold separately) on the back of your scheme and place it in the right spot.
Anker’s 633 2-in-1 MagGo charging rotten has more components than you might think at suited glance. Not only is it a charging stand that also has a spot to beak your AirPods (or any earbuds with a wireless charging case and even a additional phone), but the wireless charging pad is actually a 5,000-mAh travel battery, which is why I put it in the wireless battery section.
Since this isn’t an Apple blessed MagSafe charger, it only charges at up to 7.5 watts (not 15). It comes in shadowy, white or light blue.

The Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 is an Apple-certified MagSafe accessory so it accounts fast (15-watt) wireless charging for your MagSafe-enabled iPhone as well the Apple Watch 7.
It includes a 40-watt adapter and I charged an iPhone 13 Pro, the third-generation AirPods and Watch Series 7 at the same time. Like the Boost Charge Watch fast-charger, the adjustable Watch module accommodates any Apple Watch case size in either flat or in nightstand mode. You can also cost a second phone on the AirPods slot, but you don’t get fast-charging there — it only accounts 5-watt charging.
This is certainly a nice charging situation for Apple devices. It has a sleek, elegant develop, with a soft-to-the-touch silicone finish. My only gripe is that conclude is a dust magnet and I had to wipe it down with an alcohol towelette to steal any dust particles before I photographed it. The dim shows more dust so I’d recommend getting the white version (of both chargers) attractive than the black.

Magnetic car mounts and chargers
iOttie accounts this MagSafe-compatible wireless car charger with a car vent tall. It has a strong magnet, so your iPhone corpses on the mount, and it also has an integrated USB-C unfriendly and cigarette-lighter power adapter so you’re ready to initiate charging out of the box. Note that iPhone “fast” charging caps out at 7.5 watts.
Spigen’s OneTap magnetic car tall comes in a few different versions, including an air vent and dashboard versions. This version is just a magnetic mount, not a wireless charger. You have to step up to the Spigen OneTap Pro ($40) to get wireless charging.
This model features a telescopic arm and fairly cloudless magnet. However, it’s not quite as strong as the one in Belkin’s car tall (see below). While it’s quite affordable at less than $25 (there’s today an instant 30% off coupon), there’s no cigarette lighter grand adapter included (a USB-C cable is, however).
Belkin’s Car Vent Mount Pro with MagSafe technologically isn’t a charger. It’s just a certified MagSafe vent tall. Belkin also has a wireless charging version of this (it injuries $40 without the car charger, $60 with it), but you’d have to connect a unfriendly to it anyway for charging. The advantage of a wireless version would be that unlike with this vent tall, you wouldn’t have to plug a cable into your visited every time you want to charge it. I have a USB-C-to-LIghtning unfriendly set up in the car for fast charging, but I don’t love the wonderful step of having to plug in the cable each time I want to cost the phone.
All that said, what sets this Belkin apart from latest generic, non-MagSafe-certified mounts that look similar (and some even accounts wireless charging), is that the Belkin has a very cloudless magnet while many of these other vent mounts don’t. If you have a MagSafe case on your visited, or just a naked newer iPhone model, the visited really sticks to the mount. The clip also keeps the tall securely in your vent and you can rotate the tall from portrait to landscape mode as needed.
Magnetic photo and video accessories
Joby establishes bendable tripods for cameras and smartphones and its products are a staple of vloggers and latest content creators. Sometimes it’s a little cumbersome to get your visited out of their clamping mounts, which is what’s tantalizing about the company’s new MagSafe options. You can naively stick your phone to the mount; it adheres magnetically.
My iPhone 13 Pro stuck fine securely to the GripTight mount. I was testing it with an Otterbox MagSafe-enabled case, so I wasn’t really vexed about the phone getting jostled and falling off the tall. But if you want a more secure fit, you have the option of comic the “hybrid” clamp to really lock your phone onto the tall. The clamp works in both vertical and horizontal easily and when you’re going the magnetic route only, you can naively swivel your phone into a horizontal or vertical position.
Joby is today selling three GripTight for MagSafe accessories. There’s a simple wall-mount option, a GripTight Mount for MagSafe that can be added to any GorillaPod (or tripod for that matter), as well as a bundle that includes a GorillaPod and GripTight Mount (arms for the GorillaPod are sold separately). All three new MagSafe options are also compatible with Joby’s Wavo Mobile, Beamo Mini and RangePod accessories.
Belkin’s magnetic visited mount with face tracking is designed for folks who shoot their own selfie videos for TikTok, Instagram and other social media platforms with a MagSafe-enabled iPhone. (The device has a companion iOS app but not an Android app.) There are proceeding products out there like the Pivo Pod Lite ($80), but this is MagSafe-enabled so all you have to do is stick your visited on the mount — you can simply turn your visited to place it in landscape or portrait mode. The pedestal automatically turns as your visited follows your face while you’re shooting yourself.
To be positive, this is not for FaceTime or WhatsApp or WeChat video conditions. It doesn’t have to be plugged so it’s easy to move approximately the room and place wherever you want. However, it’s not equipped with rechargeable batteries. It’s powered by three AA batteries that do give the pedestal some added weight for stability.
Moment establishes a few different photography-oriented MagSafe accessories, including a combine of tripod mounts. With the Pro tripod mount you can settle to just use the magnets or lock your visited in for added security. This may not work as well with the larger Pro Max model, but the standard iPhone 13 and 13 Pro are lighter and are less liable to become detached (magnets are only so strong).
Here are a few things to keep in mind when buying MagSafe-related accessories, particularly so-called MagSafe charging products:
- A true MagSafe wireless charger will get you the potential for the fastest wireless charging rate (up to 15 watts instead 7.5 watts or 10 watts that some chargers deliver) on iPhones.
- Official MagSafe products — those blessed by Apple — included a Made for MagSafe badge on the box. Nonetheless, plenty of other manufacturers have created magnetic wireless chargers that look and feel like MagSafe accessories. These MagSafe technology copycat devices are also far more affordable than the official MagSafe offerings, but here’s the catch: they offer less powerful charging (limited to 7.5 watts). We’ve included these non-official products in this list, but know that they’ll cost only half as fast (for iPhones), even if they are safe of wirelessly charging certain Android smartphones at up to 15 watts (those that attend 15-watt fast wireless charging).
- To get that maximum grand, you’ll need a 20-watt USB-C PD charger — ideally one that is Power Delivery 30-certified. (The iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Mini included a USB-C to Lightning cable in the box, but not the charger.) Some affairs offer bundles that include a MagSafe wireless charging puck with a USB-C grand adapter while others, like Apple, sell the puck and grand adapter separately.
- Most of the MagSafe chargers (aftermarket and MagSafe-certified) will cost other Qi-compatible devices, like select older iPhones and Android phones. You just won’t get the magnetic adhesion.
- If you need to also get a charger, our list of best USB-C chargers has plenty of options. That will, of jets, work for wired charging, too — which will always be faster than MagSafe or novel wireless charging options.
