The best iPhones always claim to have great battery life – but the reality is that a recharge sometime during the day is often necessary, especially if you didn't fully charge your iPhone 15 handset the night before. Fortunately you can use a wireless charger for that task with the latest iPhones.
Apple consistently manages to offer iPhones that last the full day – especially the likes of the iPhone 15 Pro Max at the top-end of the scale – but to make sure you don't run out of juice, one of the best wireless chargers for iPhones can really come in handy.
Wireless charging does give you the convenience of being able to place your iPhone down without hunting for a cable – although it's worth bearing in mind that charging speeds won't be as quick as they are if you actually plug your Apple phone into a mains socket.
Every iPhone since the iPhone 8 launched back in 2017 has wireless charging support. Choose the best iPhone wireless charger for you from this list, and make sure you're never caught short with a dead, zero-battery iPhone ever again.
T3 Top 3
Best for most people
It looks the part, it can charge your AirPods and your Apple Watch at the same time, and it won't cost you too much either – Belkin knows what it's doing with chargers, and it shows here.
Best wireless charging stand
Sometimes you want your phone to be in view while it's charging, and the Iniu Wireless Charging Stand makes that possible – in either landscape or portrait mode, too.
Best official charger
Sometimes it's best to go with the official option, and the Apple MagSafe Charger will work seamlessly with MagSafe-ready iPhones (or iPhone cases) to get your handset charged up.
Best for most people
Belkin is an accessories brand you can rely on, and the name of the 3-in-1 MagSafe Wireless Charging Pad tells you just about everything you need to know about this accessory: it offers MagSafe support, and it can charge up three devices together.
Those devices need to be an iPhone, a pair of AirPods, and an Apple Watch – so that should tell you whether or not this is the right pick for you. It doesn't do anything fancy like propping up your phone either, so do bear that in mind before parting with your cash.
We're fans of the simple, straightforward, compact design on show here, and it's perfect for a bedside table or if you're travelling. A note too about the power cable, which is 1.5 metres in length and gives you lots of flexibility when it comes to positioning the charger.
Best stand
For ease of use and overall aesthetics, it's hard to beat the Iniu Wireless Charging Stand when it comes to the best wireless chargers for the iPhone. Pop your phone on in either portrait or landscape mode, and you get instant charging up to 15W for the device.
This stand actually works with any phone that supports the Qi wireless charging standard – just in case you have other handsets besides your iPhone – and it comes with a handy status LED that can automatically dim itself when it detects that the room is dark.
We also like the anti-overheating technology that's built into the base of this charger from Iniu, so you can get on with whatever else you need to do while your iPhone safely charges up. It's also very attractively priced for what it is, so you don't need to spend much at all.
Best official charger
There's a lot to be said for buying the official Apple MagSafe Charger for your iPhone, assuming you have one of the models that support it – either the iPhone 12 from 2020, the iPhone 13 from 2021, or anything later (if you're reading this in the future). It brings with it a simple and straightforward design, it's well priced, and it works.
The MagSafe Charger is a unobtrusively simple white disc that you can pop your iPhone on top of, and you're up and running as far as wireless charging goes. Thanks to the MagSafe standard, which uses magnetic connections to keep everything aligned, your iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 should simply snap into the right position.
At the other end of the charger is a USB-C connector that you can either plug into a mains adaptor (there isn't one in the box) or a laptop. The USB cable stretches to a metre in length, so you've got plenty of flexibility when it comes to where you put the charger.

Best for simplicity
Sometimes you just want the basics from your wireless charger, and the Agptek Wireless Charging Pad definitely delivers in that regard: it's just a wireless charging pad that you can put your iPhone (or another compatible device) on top of, and that's just about that.
In this case less is more, and you won't have to spend time aligning your phone or connecting up cables or attachments. Think of it as being like an extension of your desk, so you just put your iPhone down, and before you've thought about it, it's charging up.
Beyond an LED status light there isn't much here in the way of features, but that also means the price is very attractive too – you won't find many wireless chargers for the iPhone that cost less than this one does, so we'd recommend it if you're on a budget.
Best premium
There's a lot to be said for buying the official Apple MagSafe Charger for your iPhone, assuming you have one of the models that support it – the iPhone 12 and onwards, specifically. It brings with it a simple and straightforward design, it's well priced, and it works.
The MagSafe Charger is a unobtrusively simple white disc that you can pop your iPhone on top of, and you're up and running as far as wireless charging goes. Thanks to the MagSafe standard, which uses magnetic connections to keep everything aligned, your iPhone should simply snap into the right position.

Best multi-device
The Anker PowerWave Wireless Charging Stand is sleek, well built, and reliable – and you can't really ask more from a wireless iPhone charger. Your iPhone (or its case) will need to support MagSafe in order to support the magnetic connection, so bear that in mind.
This is one of those chargers where you can charge up your earbuds (AirPods, for example), as well as your phone. We also like the rotating feature here as well – so you can watch a video on your handset while it's rotated around to landscape orientation.
Anker being Anker, this is also an affordable option for the next wireless charger for your iPhone. The LED lights that tell you when your devices are charging are handy as well, helping this option stand out from the many other options currently available right now.
Best for style
The stylish and compact Satechi Aluminium 2-in-1 Charging Stand will not only charge your iPhone, it'll hold it up too, so you can carry on looking at its display. It's worth noting that this needs a MagSafe-compatible iPhone to work, so we're talking iPhones launched in 2020 or later, but that's really a problem for most people now.
Another reason to go for this wireless charger for your iPhone over any other is that it doesn't just charge your iPhone, it charges your AirPods as well – drop them on the base of the stand and they'll juice up wirelessly ready for your next listening session. While the charging speeds aren't the fastest, it's a perfect stand for using overnight.
With its 2-in-1 functionality, its support for the MagSafe standard, the cool and elegant finish of the charger, and the nice touches like the little LED status light on the front, we think this is hard to beat as far as wireless chargers for the iPhone go. What's more, you can find it for a relatively decent price online.
Best affordable
Anker accessories are well known for offering plenty of value for money, and it's the same with this PowerWave Pad for charging up your iPhone (and indeed any other device that supports the Qi standard). Available in black, white or navy blue, you can simply pop down your smartphone on top of this and have it juice up at a 10W rate.
The charging pad isn't compatible with the latest MagSafe standard from Apple, so it won't automatically clip in place, but it will still charge any iPhone that supports wireless charging. It can still work even if you have a case on your iPhone as well, as long as it's no more than 5 mm thick.
What really makes the Anker PowerWave Pad stand out though is just how affordable it is: you won't have to pay much at all to get this particular wireless charging pad for your iPhone. That's partly down to the fact that there's no mains adapter for the USB plug – you'll need a laptop with a USB Type-A socket to connect it to or your own mains plug.
