Apple's MagSafe is a nifty way to add and use accessories with your iPhone. The tech revolves around the magnetic blocks that are built into the back of all current iPhone models, except for the iPhone SE. The addition of MagSafe lets you attach a variety of accessories to the back of your iPhone, and there are a ton of options out there, including wireless charging pucks, power banks, wallets, car mounts, kickstands and more.
Some of these products that come with the "MagSafe" label and capabilities are official Apple-licensed products, while others aren't. Those officially Apple-certified MagSafe accessories often cost more because of the licensing fee involved, and they sometimes feature stronger magnets and better build quality. The Apple-certified MagSafe wireless charging products can also charge at the highest speed of up to 15 watts, while those without the official certification are usually limited to 7.5 watts.
It's worth noting that some of these magnetic charging products are not Apple-certified but come with Qi2 wireless charging capabilities. Qi2-certified wireless chargers can go up to 15 watts while offering full MagSafe compatibility. If you get a Qi2 wireless charger, you can get twice the speed of standard 7.5-watt wireless chargers for MagSafe-enabled iPhone 13, 14 and 15 models, as well as Android smartphones that support 15-watt wireless charging.
I've shortlisted my current favorite MagSafe accessories, all of which I've personally used in this list. And we'll keep updating this list as we discover new top accessories.

These magnetic portable batteries will keep your iPhone charged on the go.
What's cool about Anker's 622 magnetic battery is that it's a wireless battery that has an integrated magnetic flap that converts into a stand. 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 carry around.
It charges via USB-C and if you use a USB-C to Lighting to charge your iPhone, it will charge at a faster rate of 12 watts. That's not as fast as what a 20-watt USB-C power adapter can deliver, but it's faster than 7.5 watts.
Note that Anker has updated this model to move the charging port to the side (from the bottom), so you can charge it while using it as a stand. That's a worthy upgrade worth the $5 premium versus the old version (which confusingly retains the same model number).
The Baseus Magnetic Mini Wireless Portable Charger is a compact 6,000-mAh wireless power bank that sticks to the back of MagSafe-enabled iPhones (or MagSafe-enabled iPhone cases) and charges your iPhone at 7.5 watts. If you're looking for faster charging, you can plug a USB-C-to-Lightning cable into the battery and get 20W charging speeds. It also offers pass-through charging (you can charge the Baseus' battery while charging your phone).
The battery is similar in size to many 5,000-mAh batteries and also costs less. That 6,000-mAh capacity will get you close to a full charge with most iPhones, although it may fall a bit short for iPhone Max models.
The UGreen 5000mAh Magnetic Wireless Power Bank is inexpensive, slim and features a soft-to-the-touch silicone rubber surface on the side of the battery that sticks to your MagSafe-enabled iPhone (it won't quite get you a full charge). It does heat a bit as it charges and only offers up to 7.5-watt wireless charging speeds, 15-watt fast charging is available if you charge with a cable via the USB-C port. How well it will hold up over time, I don't know, but if you're on a tight budget, it does the job and sometimes sells for as low as $20.
The Anker MagGo Power Bank 10K has a 10,000-mAh battery that can fully charge most iPhones around 1.75 times. It's Qi2-certified, which means it offers 15-watt fast charging capabilities and is fully MagSafe compatible, offering twice the speed of standard 7.5-watt wireless chargers for MagSafe-enabled iPhone 13, 14 and 15 models and Android smartphones that support 15-watt wireless charging.
Available in five color options and not much bigger than the MagGo Power Bank 6.6K, this model has a retractable kickstand and an LCD that displays the remaining battery life. While it comes with a USB-C cable, you'll need a USB-C charger with more than 15-watt output to hit those 15-watt charging speeds. You can take the power bank on the go or leave it plugged in to use as a wireless charging stand when at home. Like the 6.6K version, it's fairly pricey at launch but will hopefully get some discounts as more competitors hit the market. For those looking for a higher-capacity battery, the MagGo Power Bank 10K is probably a better choice than the MagGo Power Bank 6.6K. I do like the foldable stand a little better on the Power Bank 6.6K.
Mophie's Powerstation Wireless Stand with MagSafe is currently only sold through Zagg (Mophie's parent company) and Apple. It's not cheap or lightweight, but the versatile 10,000-mAh battery has both a stand and MagSafe charger built-in, plus a threaded tripod mount at the bottom.
Since this is an official MagSafe charger, the battery charges compatible iPhones at 15 watts, making this among the fastest wireless external battery chargers. It will also charge the AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro models with MagSafe. If you use a cable to charge your device, it can charge at 20-watt speeds via its USB-C port. You can also charge two devices at the same time.
Note that first-time buyers at Zagg can get a 20% discount by supplying their email address.
If you're looking for a bigger portable battery that charges your phone wirelessly, the Baseus Magnetic Wireless Power Bank is an excellent option. It houses a 10,000-mAh battery that can charge an iPhone 14 almost two times -- but it's still somewhat compact.
The magnet is strong, and I also liked that it has an integrated flip-out kickstand, so it converts into a stand. There's also an LED battery life indicator on the back of the battery that tells you exactly how much juice the battery has left (you see the actual percentage). The Baseus Magnetic Wireless Power Bank is available in three color options with the black version currently costing a few bucks less.
Prop up your phone and store a credit or two with these magnetic stands and wallets.
Clckr's new, trimmer Stand and Grip is one of my favorite MagSafe accessories. The accessory really sticks to the back of your MagSafe-enabled phone or MagSafe-enabled case and not only makes it easier to hold up your phone but when converted into a kickstand, it props up your device nicely in portrait or landscape mode for video calls or video watching.
This new version is lighter than the original and available in several colors. It's one of the best MagSafe stands out there.
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 phone horizontally or vertically. The wallet fits a couple of credit cards (you can stretch it a bit to get three in there) and the accessory has a fairly strong magnet, so it stays on your phone pretty well.
I'm showing it in light 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 phone grip is one of the more affordable MagSafe accessories. It has a strong magnet and you can use the retractable ring to hold your phone securely in your hand or as a kickstand. It allows you to prop up your phone horizontally but not vertically. Some other MagSafe stands do both.
If you're a PopSockets fan, you have several 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 gives you a grip and kickstand option.
Charge your phone with these top magnetic charging stands.
Belkin's MagSafe Wireless Charger with Kickstand is essentially a better version of Apple's own wireless MagSafe charger because it integrates a flip-out kickstand, allowing you to watch videos on your iPhone as you charge (or play games if you have a wireless game controller).
vehicle cell phone holder It does charge at a speed of up to 15 watts and comes in three color options: black, white and blue. No power adapter is included (the cable is integrated into the charging puck).
