Ugreen’s wireless charger is a fully certified charging station that delivers up to 15 watts of power, which means it will charge your iPhone quickly (in addition to your Apple Watch and AirPods).

Along with the two Anker chargers above, the 633 is the most ingenious of them all. You can charge your phone right there and adjust it for the ideal viewing angle, or you can charge it on the go. The attachment point doubles as a 5,000 mAh battery, so you just slide it out and take it with you. The dock can also wirelessly charge AirPods Pro.
With the iOttie Velox, you can magnetically charge your phone in your car without the risk of flying if you hit a pothole or curb (that happens, OK?). We’ve been using it for months and haven’t fallen off even once. It fits right into your vent.
We think the cord of the Apple MagSafe Charger is too short. This one is 6.5 feet, which we appreciate. However, it charges a bit slowly, but there are many interesting colors and styles to choose from.
