Best wireless charging for iPhone 15

[Bak_Chor_Mee]

Hi guys,

Can help to recommend some good mid budget magsafe wireless charging stand type for iPhone 15?


Best is can be minimum 15W charging, though I know most in the market now are about 7.5 to 12W?

Thanks in advance!

Apple Magsafe Charger

I’m using 2.

Belkin WIZ010my BoostCharge Pro 2in1 Wireless Charger Stand with MagSafe 15W

Mazer 3-in-1 Foldable/Desk Magnetic and Qi2 Wireless Charging Stand

Both can hit 15W.
Only way to do that is with MagSafe or Qi2 Wireless Chargers.

There’s one that has a fan built into the MagSafe stand, to cool the heat while wireless charging. That’s good.

personally I’m using the Belkin and anker. No complaints

Anker 3 in 1 cube. 15w wireless charging. It's the endgame for me, since it wireless charges my airpods and watch at the same time. Definitely not mid budget range compared to others though.

 

[v1hypersg]

does the phone gets warm or hot when charging ?

You managed to hit 15-watt charging using the Mazer (to charge just the iPhone & nothing else at the same time)?

I even tried charging using it when the iPhone (15 Pro Max) is at around 10-15% but can only managed 9-watt plus. & was in fact, talking to Mazer (over Shopee; showing them my test conditions, my charger model, my watt-meter) & Mazer was stalling to gimme proof (they kept saying their tech team is investigating but I guess they can’t prove it otherwise they would have shown me a watt meter photo to “shut me up”).

in the end I got tired of their stalling technique & just refunded that charger & got another one with similar performance, for half the price.

the mazer qi2 wireless charger will only charge at 9-10 watts max instead of the advertised 15W..

and yes, mazer's customer support is really very sheet lol. most of the time they dont know what they are talking about and will just tell you that as per apple support, magsafe charging will take 3-4 hours to charge to full.

i told them when i measured the power drawn by their wireless charger, it was never able to wirelessly charge a iphone via magsafe above 10W. They replied me and said "no device is able to measure the watts between iphone and the wireless charger". lmao.

just faster returned it for a full refund asap.

so if really want magsafe charger that can charge at 15W, look for those MFM certified ones to be safe.

The sales man is not lying to you.

There currently is no consumer device which can measure the wireless charging Wattage.

I have a cable with a Power Wattage meter and that only works for wired charging.

When I connect to my Belkin Magsafe charger, there's the same MagSafe animation charging icon being displayed.

I see the same icon displayed for the Mazer charger.

That's how I know that Magsafe charging is taking place.
It is supposed to be 15W.

If you use a slower Qi standard Wireless charger, the Magsafe icon is not displayed.

but you can easily attach a usb meter from the wire connected to the main charging brick to see how much power the wireless charger is drawing from the charging brick. so how can the wireless charging be charging the phone at 15W when it is only drawing 9 watts from the charging brick?

For Apple fast charging, it will only draw the maximum wattage when your device is very low on the battery percentage.

Whether it can draw 15W or 9W as you put it, is also dependent upon the current battery status of your phone.

What was your phone battery percentage when you got the 9W reading?

As for myself, I just tested my setup.

Unfortunately, my phone is currently fully charged at 80% at the moment.

So the Power draw is fluctuating only between 1W and 2W at the moment.

I will have to let my battery drain to a low 30% or 40% before repeating the measurements.

i have tested it when the battery was at 30% - 40%..

and i was monitoring it through the charge till 80%.. it never reached 15W

…

True, there’s no device that directly measures the wireless charging so I did this (link), which is also what @Charlie_Zhan did. & note, my phone charge level was 11% when I tested, so it should be low enough to pull the greatest wattage possible. Btw, I don’t think it’s good for the battery to keep draining to such low levels often.

I’m unsure, but I think any wattage of MagSafe charging will display that animation. Even my cheapo 淘宝 charger can trigger that animation & it sure ain’t Qi2/MFI-labelled/15-watt capable.

That said, I believe most Belkin wireless charger can do 15-watt cos they should have be part of the MFI program.

It's just unfortunate Apple doesn’t have any UX to differentiate between the different levels of charging.

Bro, can see you really luuuuuuuuurve your mazer. Mazer should really employ you as their spokesperson.

Your links are not working leh.

 

[Knightoftheblackrose]

I’m not working for Mazer if that’s what you are (rudely) trying to imply.

If you did a proper CSI, you would have realised that I was initially looking for a MagSafe device to attach my phone to my car.

Later on, another forum user bought the mazer charger and I then had a Eureka moment in thinking of using it for my car.

Since the links in post #13 are not working ( for whatever reason??) , I will try to test it again.

Thanks for taking the effort to share your detailed findings.

I will try to test out my own equipment when I’m free.

2 differences to point out.

1) My Mazer charger is the non-foldable desktop version.
Yours is the foldable portable version.

2) My own wired setup can reach 27W maximum as described by others ( e.g. https://www.macrumors.com/2023/09/17/iphone-15-pro-27w-max-charging-report/ )
It is 2-3 W more than your setup.

1) im using the non-foldable version.

2) my wired setup can reach 26.7-26.9W

plug into the mazer non-foldable qi2 charger and it still does not draw beyond 10W on wireless charging.
