Apple 20W USB-C Compact Power Adapter
Every third-party MagSafe charger is measured against this one. Apple’s MagSafe Charger is the original magnetic puck, and this is the 2-metre version, which is far more useful than the short one when your outlet is behind the bed.
It charges an iPhone at up to 15W, or up to 25W on an iPhone 16 or 17 if you pair it with a 30W adapter. You’ll have to supply that adapter yourself, though, because there isn’t one in the box.

One-sentence verdict: Buy it if you want guaranteed MagSafe alignment and behaviour from Apple’s own puck and you value the longer cable; skip it if you want a stand, an adapter in the box or the lowest price for 15W wireless charging.

A slim white puck on a long white cable. Copied by everyone.
The magnet is strong enough to hold the phone upright for video, the cable is a generous 2 metres, and the whole thing is about as minimal as a charger can be. The one blemish is a recurring pattern of early failures in owner reports, which isn’t what you expect from Apple hardware.
Plug the USB-C end into an adapter you provide and put the puck against the back of the phone, where it snaps to the centre.
With an iPhone 16 or 17 and a 30W adapter, it’ll negotiate up to 25W. With an older phone or a 20W adapter, you get 15W.
Alignment is perfect, which is the whole point of MagSafe.
How much power you actually get depends on the adapter you pair it with, so match the brick to the speed you want, whether that’s 20W for 15W or 30W for 25W on a current iPhone. Heat? Moderate, and normal for magnetic charging.

Durability is the soft spot. Strange, for Apple. Most units last for years, but enough owners report early failures that it’s a known pattern. Apple’s one-year limited warranty through Apple Support is the backstop, and it’s the easiest claims process of any charger we cover.
At $39.99, you’re paying the Apple premium for a cable and a magnet. A third-party MagSafe-style puck does 15W for much less money, and it often comes with an adapter.
What the extra money gets you is predictable behaviour, the long cable and Apple’s warranty. If those matter, it’s defensible. Just want 15W wireless charging? Spend less. We’d call it a fair buy under about $30, which is roughly what it costs on sale.

| Product | Best for | Key advantage | Main drawback | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple MagSafe Charger (2 m) (this charger) | Guaranteed Apple MagSafe behaviour and a long cable | Perfect alignment, 2 m cable, one-year Apple warranty | $39.99; no adapter; no stand; some early failures | $39.99 |
| Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Qi2 15W | A stand plus Watch and AirPods charging | Qi2 15W, adapter included, folds for travel | Bulkier; costs more | $69.99 |
| Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter | The adapter this puck needs | Reliable 20W USB-C brick | Adapter only | $14.99 |
Need a stand? Then a Qi2 3-in-1 is a better use of the money, because it props the phone up and charges your watch and earbuds as well. If you do buy this puck, pair it with a 20W adapter for 15W, or a 30W adapter for 25W on a current iPhone.
As magnetic pucks go, this is the reference, with perfect alignment, a 2-metre cable that actually reaches where you need it, and a magnet strong enough to double as a mount for watching video. A 4.5-star average reflects a charger that gets the basics exactly right.
Familiar Apple caveats apply. There’s no adapter in the box and no stand, and it costs far more than a capable third-party puck. A real minority of owners also report early failures, which is why that one-year warranty matters. If guaranteed behaviour and the long cable are worth the premium, buy it. Otherwise, a Qi2 puck or a 3-in-1 dock gives you more for your money.

Figures marked “Apple” are the manufacturer’s published claims. “N/A” means Apple does not list the value.
No. You need a USB-C power adapter: 20W for 15W charging, or 30W to reach 25W on an iPhone 16 or 17.
Up to 15W on the iPhone 12 and later, and up to 25W on the iPhone 16 and 17 with a 30W adapter. On a 30W brick, an iPhone 17 gets to 50% in about 30 minutes.
No. It’s a phone-only MagSafe puck, so you’ll need a separate Apple Watch charger on the nightstand as well, or a 3-in-1 dock that handles both.
No, it lies flat. The magnet is strong enough to hold the phone upright if you prop the puck against something, but there’s no stand.
A minority of units fail after a month or two, and it’s a known pattern, but Apple’s one-year warranty covers a replacement through Apple Support.
Only if guaranteed Apple behaviour, the 2-metre cable and the warranty matter to you. A third-party MagSafe puck does 15W for much less.
