2024's top iPhone chargers

The Apple 30W power adapter is the company’s most powerful single-slot phone charger out there at the moment. Thanks to its 30 watts, the charger can fill your iPhone battery in no time at all, so you don’t have to worry about being without your phone for hours on end. Admittedly, there are power adapters out there with higher watts, but 30W is more than enough for iPhones, with the handsets’ max charging speeds varying from around 20W to 30W, depending on the model.

However, as the port is USB-C, this charger really is only good for certain cables, so if you happen to have extra pieces of tech that use a USB-A cable, you’re out of luck here. Furthermore, while the product does a fine job and is sure to please Apple customers, you have to remember that this is Apple, and that means that the price tag is slightly higher when compared to third-party power adapters on the market. But hey, you want premium stuff, sometimes you have to pay the Apple tax.

If you’re after a cheap and reliable charger for your iPhone, the Anker PowerPort Atom III Slim is a fine choice. With 30W available, you can be sure your phone will have a full charge in no time. Better still, this is a versatile charger that is capable of putting some juice in your tablets and Macbooks, too. In just two hours, a 12-inch Macbook can have a full charge.

Better still, this is a charger that you can easily take places with you thanks to its slim design. Too often is it a pain to bring a charger out with you due to being clunky and huge, but the Anker PowerPort Atom III Slim takes little room in your bag, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t even find a port to put it in when out and about. Its slim design also means it doesn’t get in the way at home.

The fact that this charger comes in at such a reasonable price is just a bonus, though we do have to acknowledge that other chargers on this list offer more ports and power to charge multiple devices at once. With the Anker PowerPort Atom III Slim, you can only charge one device at a time. Still, its slick design and potentially portability helps to counteract that.

If you’re a proud lover of Apple who happens to own multiple devices, you might want to consider a charger like the Belkin Boost Charger Pro 3-in-1. This sleek-looking charging pad can charge iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches. Better still, you can get some juice in each one simultaneously, no need to prioritize here, making it perfect for those that get a lot of use out of various Apple products.

The design of the charging pad is nice, with the layout allowing you to place all three devices next to each other in a long line on the white-finished pad (or black, if you prefer). This makes it the perfect charger for those of you who sit at a desk throughout the day. Just plug it in and set it up along the side, back, or wherever you want on your desk, and you’re good to go. The slick design means its not an eyesore, and it doesn’t take up too much space on your desk.

As for the wattage, you can get up to 15W from this charging pad going straight into your phone, so while it’s not quite as powerful as other chargers on this list, its mixed device charging capabilities make this a must-own for Apple lovers. However, prepare yourselves, for this comes with a big price tag.

The Anker 736 Charger is by far the best power adapter on this list for fast charging and is arguably the best in the market for it, as, while it does boast a somewhat lofty price tag, it’s very reasonable for what you get, and it is cheaper than competitors. So, what do you get, exactly? Well, there are two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, which means you can charge any device through this adapter.

Better yet, you can charge three at the same time through the ports, and given there’s 100W residing in this piece of kit, you can be sure that your iPhone will get a fast charge. You might be thinking, ‘But iPhones tend to cap out with 20W for charging,’ and while that is what the majority of iPhones are capable of, what about your MacBook? That’s right, 100W is more than enough to charge your Apple laptops.

The only thing that possibly draws this charger back is how bulky it is. So, should you simply want a portable adapter for one iPhone, this might not be worth it, especially when traveling. However, when you consider the size of most laptop chargers, if you take this with you to charge your phone and MacBook, it’s a good investment.

Look, we’ve all been there. You need to be somewhere, so you rush out of the house and into your car, and since you forgot to put your phone on charge, there’s hardly any juice in it. This is an absolute pain, especially if you don’t have a charger in the car. Luckily, the Belkin BoostCharger Pro is here to help you out.

Admittedly, it costs more than other chargers on this list, but this is the best one to use in your car, and if you rely on charging your device through your vehicle, you should consider this charger. It gives a fast charge for those short journeys with up to 15W wireless charging.

You can rotate this Belkin charger, so if you’re following a map on your phone, you can easily see it at all times. You can also charge your second-generation AirPods on this device, too.

Yes, it’s another Anker product. The Anker PowerPort III Nano is a compact, useful, fast, and comparatively cheap iPhone charger. Chances are, you’re using this as a household charger, and the good news is that the USB-C functionality can work with Samsung and Google Pixel phones, too.

Obviously, this is only a single plug, so can charge one device at a time – but we still recommend the Anker PowerPort III Nano due to its simplicity, and 20w capability. That means you can charge an iPhone to 50% in under half an hour.

The Apple MagSafe battery pack is perfect for those who want to charge their cell phone while on the go but don’t want a portable power bank taking up valuable pocket space. As the device snaps directly onto the back of your phone, you don’t need to worry about cables getting tangled, a blessing we can all appreciate. Sure, it only wirelessly charges at 7.5W, but its portability and convenience make up for the slower charging speeds.

Unsurprisingly, as with most Apple products, it’s the price tag that lets the Apple MagSafe battery pack down. It costs considerably more than most portable chargers and a lot more than power adapters. However, while we admit the cost may be an off-put for some, we can’t deny the quality you get with an Apple product, and its longevity can offset the initial investment.

Plus, it’s so compact that you won’t even notice it’s there. It looks pretty slick, too, with a streamlined design that comes in white with the Apple logo on the back – a very smart-looking bit of kit.
