Top-Rated Wireless Chargers Compatible with Popular Phone Models

A practical guide to what works, why it matters, and what to look for before you buy

Wireless charging has come a long way, but not all chargers are created equal. The difference between a quality wireless charger and a cheap one is not always obvious in the product listing. Here is what actually matters.

Qi2 vs. Standard Qi: The Gap Is Larger Than You Think

Standard Qi wireless charging delivers up to 7.5W for iPhones and requires precise positioning to achieve even that. Qi2 uses a magnetic alignment ring to position your phone correctly every time, and delivers up to 15W consistently. That is not a marginal improvement. It is the difference between your phone being at 80% when you wake up and being fully charged.

For any iPhone 13 or later, Qi2 is the right standard to buy. For Android devices, check your device specifications for supported wireless charging wattage and look for a charger that matches or exceeds it.

3-in-1 Charging Stations

The most useful development in wireless charging is the 3-in-1 station that handles your phone, wireless earbuds, and smartwatch simultaneously. A quality 3-in-1 station replaces three separate chargers with one unit, one cable, and one power outlet. For iPhone users who also own AirPods and an Apple Watch, this is the obvious nightstand upgrade.

Our ApexCharge Station Qi2 delivers 15W Qi2 magnetic charging for iPhone, a wireless surface for AirPods, and supports Apple Watch charging in a 3.9 inch compact footprint with a built-in retractable cable.

Travel Wireless Charging

Travel charging has a different set of requirements than home charging. Portability, outlet compatibility, and not forgetting cables matter more than maximum wattage. A compact retractable wall charger handles most travel charging needs without requiring a separate cable.

Our POWER LOOP 35W wall charger has a built-in retractable USB-C cable plus a USB-C port and USB-A port, covering three devices from one wall outlet in a form factor that fits in a jacket pocket.

What to Avoid

• Generic chargers claiming 15W for iPhone: Without Qi2 certification, these deliver 7.5W at best. The 15W figure requires Qi2 magnetic alignment to achieve.
• Chargers without safety certifications: Look for UL listing. Unregulated chargers skip components that prevent overheating and overvoltage.
• Mismatched wattage: A charger rated below your device's supported input wattage will charge slower than your phone is capable of accepting.

Compatible Phone Models

Qi2 is compatible with iPhone 13, 14, 15, and 16 series. Many Android flagship devices from Samsung, Google Pixel, and others support wireless charging at varying wattages. Check your device documentation for the supported wireless input wattage before purchasing a charger rated above it.
