If you’re a seasoned Apple user, you might have a drawer filled with white wires and adapters for charging your AirPods, Apple Watch, and iPhone. This chaotic array is at odds with Apple’s sleek, streamlined design aesthetic. Luckily, wireless charging makes this an easy problem to fix. PCMag has been writing about cell phones for at least three decades, so we have plenty of experience in finding the best mobile accessories—including chargers. The below picks can handle anything from your iPhone by itself to your entire Apple device lineup, but, importantly, these are mostly for people with older, non-MagSafe iPhones that top out at wireless charging speeds of 7.5W. In other words, a 10W charger might be all you need. If you have a newer iPhone or other compatible Apple product, head to our list of the best MagSafe chargers that offer faster 15W charging speeds.
