What is the best MAGSAFE charger for an iPhone 13 Pro Max? Apple or Anker or something else?

Apple’s is the simplest but the cable is short. It’s on sale for $30 currently.

For about $50, Belkin has a neat MagSafe puck that has a 6.6ft cable.

As far as I know, all others are just 7.5W magnetic Qi chargers and slower than real MagSafe 15W.

To clarify, I was referring to the pucks you stick on the phone. If you mean stands, Belkin has my favorite docks that are true MagSafe 15W speed.

Sorry,

I was considering a cordless Magsafe Battery powered unit for charging on the road. Was looking at the apple and the Anker 622

In that case, Apple’s is good in that the charging battery has cool smart integration with the OS like Airpods. Apple’s also works as a 15W MagSafe charger if you leave it plugged in so it’s neat if you don’t have any other magsafe chargers at home. Lastly, it is the only Apple product that can be reverse charged: when iPhone is plugged in already, attaching the battery starts charging it instead of the phone.

Downsides: Apple’s battery only charges a Max sized phone about 30% so not amazing, though good for its size. Also, it only charges at 5W when used by itself. To get the 15W speed, it has to be plugged in to a cable and used like a MagSafe wall charger.

I still love it though.
