The multitasker
Belkin is the gold standard when it comes to third-party charging accessories for iPhone, and this is the only brand of charging stand you'll find on the Apple website. The 3-in-1 Wireless Charger, which we loved when we reviewed it, will attach magnetically to your iPhone 12 or later, charging it along with an Apple Watch and Apple AirPods at the same time.
Best value
Another excellent multitasker, the Anker PowerWave Magnetic 2-in-1 stand will also use MagSafe technology to dock and charge your iPhone 12 or later, and it can charge your AirPods case as well. This one comes in at an attractive price point.
Beautifully designed
This warmly received charging stand offers a metal and glass design. It features MagSafe technology, allowing it to charge your iPhone relatively quickly. The stand is available in black and white.
Mid-tier choice
If you like Belkin but don't want to shell out for the fancy 3-in-1 charger, this Belkin 2-in-1 Wireless Charger is the next best thing. This charges your iPhone and AirPods simultaneously, but it does not include the Apple Watch charger.
Cute factor
Here's a cute little charging stand that will go perfectly with your Apple-designed products. The round design is simple and eye-catching, and it works with your existing MagSafe charger for convenience.
Best for travel
For those who need to take their charging stand on the go, this folding stand from OMOTON will fold down and fit easily into a small bag or pocket. It works with the Apple MagSafe Charger.
Best for flexibility
With the benefit of being able to fold it up into a variety of positions, the Hohosb 3 in 1 Magnetic Foldable Charging Station is ideal for anyone looking to fit a MagSafe charging stand in a slightly awkward position on their desk or countertop.
Best for the nightstand
The mophie 3-in-1 Magsafe Wireless Charging Stand is a simple addition to your nightstand easily helping you take advantage of the relevant mode for your iPhone, Apple Watch, or AirPods. It's stylish to look at yet far from excessive. From a reliable brand, you can be fairly confident with this one.
Elevated charging
Many of the best MagSafe charging stands use magnets to suspend the iPhone at a comfortable viewing angle. In contrast, others work with your existing MagSafe charger to serve the same purpose. The best is the Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charger, which can also charge the best Apple Watches, an AirPods case, and an iPhone simultaneously. Of course, this one is only suitable if you have all those devices.
If that choice seems a little expensive, many charging stands work with your Apple MagSafe charger to suspend the iPhone while it charges. One example is the elago MS2 Charging Stand, which is more affordable than other choices on this list. Again, you'll have to decide which will work best for you and your devices.
MagSafe is supported on the iPhone 12 and above, such as the iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and many of the best iPhones.
