If you have an iPhone that supports Qi charging (iPhone 8 or newer), you might consider one of these wireless iPhone charging pads to go along with it. Wireless charging offers the convenience of just setting your iPhone down to charge without having to fumble with a Lightning cable. While the iPhone 8 through iPhone 11 handsets can charge at up to 7.5W, the iPhone 12/12 Pro models can fast-charge at up to 15W, so keep that in mind as you shop. These are some of our favorite iPhone charging pads that you can get right now.
Apple's own
The Apple MagSafe Charger
Staff Favorite
Fast-charge your iPhone wirelessly up to 15W. The perfectly aligned magnets snap to your iPhone 12 or 12 Pro with a satisfying thwack. Older iPhone? No problem, the MagSafe Charger works with any Qi-enabled phone, including any model as far back as the iPhone 8.
Full power
The Nomad Base Station Apple Watch Edition
Very much like Nomad's original Base Station, with one key difference: this model has a built-in Apple Watch charger. Because of this and the charger's placement concerning the rest of the base, you can't fit two iPhones on it at once. But this base still has three charging coils, making it the perfect accessory for charging your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods (if the case supports wireless charging) all in one place.
Powerful brand
Mophie Wireless Charge Pad
This charging pad will work great with any iPhone that supports wireless charging. It supports charging up to 7.5W, and its rubber surface will keep your new iPhone in place while it charges.
Stand up
Anker PowerWave 7.5 Stand
If you want to use your iPhone while it charges, this stand is great. It comes with a Quick Charge adapter, so you don't need to worry about it delivering the necessary power to charge your phone.

Belkin Boost Up Wireless Charging Pad 7.5W Pad
Delivering up to 7.5W of power to your iPhone, the Belkin Boost Up is a sleek wireless charging pad made with the iPhone in mind. The raised ring in the middle of the charger keeps your phone in place, while the indicator LED will tell you if it's charging.
Portable power

Mophie's wireless Powerstation offers the dual conveniences of wireless charging and portability. It's an external battery pack with a built-in wireless charger.

Looking good
Native Union Drop Wireless Charger 7.5W

You can't go wrong with this wireless charging stand. The upright angle means you can see and use your iPhone while it charges. Place it horizontally or vertically; either way works. You can pick up a couple for different rooms or keep them at work at this price point.
Lay it down
Anker PowerWave 10W Pad
If you prefer to just set your iPhone down on a pad, this is a great option. In addition to charging older iPhones at 7.5W, it will also charge compatible devices like the iPhone 12 at 10W. It's a great deal to boot.
