Which MagSafe
charger?

A 25W charger only charges at 25W if your iPhone can take it. Pick your iPhone and we'll show which of these gives it full speed, which work but slower, and which won't stick to it at all, so you don't pay for watts you can't use.

The three things that decide speed

  1. Your iPhone. Up to 25W on the iPhone 16 Plus and Pro Max, 17, 17 Pro, 18 Pro and Duo; 22W on the 16 and 16 Pro; 20W on the Air; 15W on the iPhone 12 to 15 and 17e. The iPhone 11 models and 16e have no MagSafe magnets.
  2. The charger. Look for Qi2.2, Qi2 25W or Apple's 25W MagSafe Charger. Plain Qi2 tops out at 15W.
  3. The power adapter. 25W wireless needs a 30W or bigger USB-C adapter for Apple's charger, and 45W for most 3-in-1 stations. With a weaker adapter, they still work, just slower. 25W also needs iOS 26 or later.

How we chose

We matched each charger's published specs to Apple's charging speeds for every iPhone, using the makers' pages and Macworld's testing for adapter requirements. We haven't tested these ourselves, and no brand paid to be here.

Questions

Do I need a 25W MagSafe charger?

Only if your iPhone supports it: the iPhone 16 Plus and Pro Max, 17, 17 Pro, 18 Pro and Duo charge at up to 25W, the 16 and 16 Pro at 22W and the Air at 20W. The iPhone 12 to 15 and 17e top out at 15W, so a Qi2 charger is enough.

A USB-C power adapter of at least 30W. It isn't included.

Does the Belkin UltraCharge Pro come with a power adapter?

Yes. Belkin includes a 45W USB-C power adapter with its UltraCharge Pro 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 chargers.
