Best MagSafe, magnetic chargers & power bank Black Friday deals

Apple has pioneered magnetic wireless charging on its iPhones (since iPhone 12), leading to wireless charging that’s nearly as fast as using a cable.

Around Apple’s MagSafe technology a whole industry of third-party accessories and chargers has sprung up. 2-in-1, 3-in-1 and even 4-in-1 wireless chargers to keep your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods powered up—all are seeing big discounts this Black Friday.

A quick explanation of wireless technologies:

MagSafe Certified: Apple approved and offering 15W of power to your iPhone (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
Qi2: Also approved by Apple and pumping out 15W of wireless power to the same iPhones.
MagSafe Compatible: Works with Apple’s MagSafe iPhones but at a slower 7.5W charge.
Qi: Non-magnetic and pegged back at 5W.
Made for Apple Watch: 5W Watch fast-charging
Apple Watch Compatble: 2-3W slower Watch charging. It works, just not as speedily.

Best multi-device wireless charger deals for Black Friday

These chargers will keep your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods charged all in one place and at the same time, using just one cable rather than the snake of power cables we usually put up with.

The Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand (shown below) uses Qi2 so supports 15W iPhone wireless charging. It can charge iPhone, AirPods and Watch with the iPhone and Watch on a tall stand. During Black Friday it’s offered at a 30% discount, costing just $69.99 down from $99.99 at Amazon and Anker. Available in either white or black.

The Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station offers the same fast Apple device charging but in a horizontal pad shape. Cleverly, the phone and Watch charging pads can be raised for easy viewing and fold down flat for portability. It is also 30% off at $69.99 at Amazon. It’s also available in either white or black.

The cool aluminum Satechi 3-in-1 Foldable Qi2 Wireless Charging Stand is, as its name suggests, an iPhone/Watch/AirPods stand that can easily be folded for travel. 15W iPhone and fast Watch charging are powerful benefits. Satechi has a site-wide 30% off Black Friday Sale so you can get this multi-charger at a bargain $90.99 using the code HOLIDAY30.

There is also a 2-in-1 Foldable Qi2 Wireless Charging Stand version for people who don’t own an Apple Watch but want a foldable charging stand for their iPhone and AirPods. With the same discount code, it’s priced at $55.99 at Satechi.

For a long time our favorite 3-in-1 MagSafe charger has been the Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station, as it was top-of-the-class in charging speed and features. While Qi2 devices now beat this wireless charging stand on price and some match it on features, we still think it’s a small-footprint champ when it comes to charging three Apple devices at the same time. Its 21% Black Friday discount makes it more affordable now than it’s ever been, so you should consider it a bargain at $119.99, down from $149.99.

Twelve South

The Ugreen MagFlow Qi2 Magnetic Foldable Charging Station is a 2-in-1 wireless charger for iPhone and AirPods. You get 15W iPhone and 5W AirPods charging in a compact and foldable form. It’s 30% off at Amazon for just $34.99.

Ugreen

Another iPhone/AirPods solution is the Belkin 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad, which features 15W Qi2 and an additional 5W USB-C port so you could connect your Watch-charging cable and charge all three devices simultaneously. It has a special Amazon Black Friday price of $44.99, which is a huge 44% off the usual $79.99 price.

For $5 more ($49.99) you can pick up a snazzy orange version, which we are rather fond of. At the same price there’s a more neutral but still designer-beige Sand model, too.

Belkin

The 15W Qi2 Kuxiu Foldable 3-in-1 Charging Station really does fold down into a tiny form but expands to becomes a great travel charger for your iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch. Amazon has it for $71.99, which is a 28% Black Friday discount on its normal $99.99 price tag.

Kuxiu

There’s a hefty discount on our favorite 3-in-1 wireless charging travel power bank—the OneGo has nearly 33% off its normal $99 price so is $66.75 right now when you add the coupon code 2024BF.

Best wireless charging power banks deals for Black Friday

Magnetic wireless charging has also revolutionized iPhone power banks, which can now simply clamp on to the back of your phone even when you are using it or if it’s in your pocket. Try doing that with a phone trailing from a power bank using a cable. And try remembering to bring the cable with you every time you step out.

Look for battery capacity (measured in milliamps per hour or mAh). The standard power bank capacities are 5000mAh (5K) and 10000mAh (10K). And also consider wireless charging speed. As with the chargers above, MagSafe and Qi2 output at 15W, and MagSafe Compatible at 7.5W.

The Anker Zolo 10K Magnetic Power Bank is a special beast as it includes not only fast 15W Qi2 wireless charging but a built-in cable for even faster 30W charging. And there’s enough battery capacity to double charge a drained iPhone. As the cable is USB-C it is best suited to the newer iPhone 15 and 16 families, but it can be used to plug the power bank into any USB-C wall charger to recharge itself so older iPhones can still take advantage. Usually priced at $49.99, it is discounted to an amazing $29.99 (40% off) during Black Friday. I might even buy myself a second or third one at that price! Then I can choose from the four different colors on offer: white, black, pink and blue.

Anker

The Belkin BoostCharge Wireless Power Bank 5K is one of our favorite small magnetic power banks. We love it for its high portability as it’s so small and light—plus you can can buy it in different colors. Who said power banks have to be boring? At 7.5W it’s a little slower than the Anker Zolo but it’s also much smaller. Amazon has it for 30% less than normal, with a Black Friday price of $34.99 down from $49.99.

Belkin

Both of the above power banks include a built-in stand, and the Torras 5,000mAh Magnetic Portable Charger Power Bank has a special stand that can also be used as a hand grip. It’s lightweight and should charge your iPhone to nearly full power at 7.5W. There’s 20% off right now, with it costing $39.98, down from $49.99.

Torras

The slimmest 10K magnetic power bank we’ve tested is the Anker MagGo Power Bank Ultra-Slim 10K. It offers a huge battery capacity in a thin body—in a choice of four colors—with 15W Qi2 wireless charging. What’s not to like? The Black Friday deal is 20% off the normal $79.99 price, so costing just $59.99.
