When to Choose Apple MagSafe Charger (2025)

iPhone users who want the fastest, most reliable single-pad MagSafe charging experience

The Apple MagSafe Charger is the gold standard for single-device wireless charging. At $39 with 25W Qi2.2, it's the fastest single pad available — but you'll need your own power adapter, and it only charges one device at a time.

Strengths

  • 25W Qi2.2 fast charging — fastest single-pad option available
  • Official Apple product with guaranteed iPhone compatibility
  • Premium aluminum and woven cable construction
  • Perfect magnetic alignment every time

Limitations

  • Single device only — no watch or earbuds charging
  • Requires separate 30W+ USB-C adapter (not included)
  • iPhone-optimized — Android devices charge at lower speeds

When to Choose Twelve South ButterFly SE 2-in-1

Travelers who want the most compact MagSafe + Apple Watch charger possible

The Twelve South ButterFly SE is the ultimate travel wireless charger. Its butterfly-fold design is unmatched for portability, and the vegan leather finish is gorgeous. The 2-device limitation and 15W speed are acceptable trade-offs for the best travel charger available.

Strengths

  • Ultra-compact butterfly design folds flat for travel
  • Premium vegan leather finish and magnetic closure
  • MFi-certified Apple Watch charging built in
  • Smallest travel footprint of any multi-device charger tested

Limitations

  • 2-in-1 only — no dedicated AirPods charging spot
  • 15W Qi2 charging speed trails faster alternatives
  • $100 is expensive for a 2-device charger
