While still able to charge at a fast 15W Qi2 chargers are mostly cheaper than the Apple-certified MagSafe—but as Qi2 is based on MagSafe you have nothing to fear choosing this cheaper option.

Models like the ESR Qi2 Mini Wireless Charger are great because they take up minimal space while delivering a solid charge. Portability is key, so look for a slim design that won’t weigh you down. For a complete on-the-go setup, pair your wireless charger with one of our fast car chargers to keep your gear powered up.

Best phone charger I tested (58% loaded / ~60% solo), edging out the pricier Anker

The ESR Qi2 15W MagSafe car mount charger represents one of the best options on the market. I highly recommend buying the charger now, as it's on sale for $19.

They charge just as fast as the Apple MagSafe chargers do, but are more affordable. Another difference between ESR Qi2 chargers and other 15-W magnetic chargers is that they're officially certified and can charge iPhone at 15 W. Other 15-W magnetic chargers only support 15-W charging for Android phones and are limited to 7.5 W for iPhone. It's also officially Apple Watch certified, which ensures it will give your Apple Watch a full charge without any issues. The reason why you always want to use certified Apple Watch chargers is because non-certified third-party chargers have a tendency to stop charging your watch after your watch updates. You'll never have to worry about that with ESR's chargers.
