The best iPhone charger depends on several factors. Are you topping off your battery on the go? Do you want to charge your iPhone as quickly as possible? Are you charging it overnight on your nightstand? The best gear recommendation is going to change with the situation.
WIRED Reviews team tests iPhone chargers in the field all year long, assessing at least one charger daily. I’ve gathered up our favorite picks for every scenario:
This Anker charger supports fast charging of 40 watts, ideal for iPhones 17 and above even if you can't fully take advantage yet. It’s sleek and easy to travel with, but the best part is its 50 percent battery in 20 minutes.
For topping off your iPhone on the go, check out this Nimble power bank. It’s smaller than a deck of cards, delivering 20 watts to two devices at once. It also has an eco-friendly design with bioplastics and minimal packaging.
The Belkin 3-in-1 charger can charge your compatible iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch simultaneously. The charging pad is adjustable and comes with a 40-watt wall charger and a neat USB-C cable that winds into the base.
This braided nylon USB-C cable has a rugged exterior made from recycled plastic, operating in temperatures ranging from -40 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s backed by a lifetime warranty and comes with a built-in cable management loop.
