Best MagSafe charging stands 2024

Quick Links

Looking for the best MagSafe charging stand? You've come to the right place. MagSafe is one of Apple's best inventions, allowing you to magnetically snap one of the best iPhones to a wireless charger. 

Whether you own an iPhone 15 Pro or an iPhone 12, a MagSafe charging stand makes all the difference when it comes to powering your smartphone without searching for cables. 

On iOS 17, specifically, a MagSafe charging stand allows you to use StandBy, a feature that turns your iPhone into a widget hub, perfect for a desk or nightstand. 

Here are the best MagSafe charging stands you can buy for your iPhone.

The Anker Cube was voted iPhone accessory of the year in the 2023 iMore Awards and it's easy to see why. This gorgeous MagSafe charging stand is both sturdy and compact with a tilting MagSafe charger that allows you to lay your iPhone flat or horizontally. With a retractable Apple Watch charger and a wireless charging pad for your AirPods, the Cube is one of the best accessories we've ever reviewed.

The weighty base feels right at home on your desk or nightstand and it's small enough to fit onto a narrow shelf. Anker makes some of the best iPhone accessories on the market and the 3-in-1 MagSafe Cube may be the company's very best.

The Anker 737 is one of the best MagSafe charging stands on the market and ideal for anyone looking for a 3-in-1 charger that doesn't need to leave your home. Its 3D triangular shape is very unique and allows you to charge AirPods on the wireless charging pad underneath.

There are no tilt angles for StandBy and larger phones, like the iPhone 15 Pro Max, may be a tight squeeze when charging vertically, but there's not much here not to like. Anker makes fantastic accessories, hence why there are three Anker products on this list, so you know you're getting one of the best chargers around when picking up a 737.

It's not cheap, but you won't need to worry about buying another charger for your portable Apple products ever again.

If you don't own AirPods and want a simple 2-in-1 charging solution for your iPhone and your Apple Watch, the Belkin Boostcharge Pro 2-in-1 is an excellent choice, despite a few setbacks.

This gorgeous MagSafe charging stand feels incredibly sturdy and premium and comes in two beautiful colors. Perfect for charging the best iPhones and an Apple Watch, this is our top pick for anyone who doesn't own AirPods.

We'd recommend opting for the Anker Cube over the Belkin Boostcharge Pro 2-in-1 just in case you decide to buy wireless earbuds down the line and need to charge them too. But if your heart is set on buying a 2-in-1 MagSafe charger this may very well be the best.
