Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of testing out loads of chargers and MagSafe charging stands for Apple devices. If you just preordered a new iPhone 18 Pro and you’re looking for the best ways to take advantage of fast charging, these are my top picks.
You’ve likely seen this small, cute, 45W charger with a display all over your TikTok feed. It has an intuitive display that shows you exactly how fast your device is charging, and it’ll even show you which device you’re plugged into – not that it matters too much.
The more important feature is the fact that the prongs can adjust based on which position you want the display to be in. It also comes in 4 colors: blue, white, black, and orange. You can buy one on Amazon for $29.99.
This won’t charge your iPhone 18 Pro with the fastest speeds, though it will get quite close. For the highest speeds, you’ll need the next charger on the list.
This oddly named power adapter from last year will support the highest speed fast charging on iPhone 18 Pro, according to Apple’s website. It’s exactly what you’d expect from an Apple charger, and it’s available on Amazon for $34.99.
With its up to 60W capacity thanks to Adjustable Voltage Supply, you can charge an iPhone 18 Pro up to 50% in just 15 minutes.
If you want a charger you can use for multiple things, the Anker Nano 70W is a fantastic choice. It’ll charge your iPhone 18 Pro to the fullest, whilst also being able to provide a sufficient charge for a base model 14” MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. It has three ports: two USB-C and one USB-A.
It also comes with a built in 5ft USB-C cable, and is priced at just $39.99 on Amazon.
For a MagSafe desk stand, ESR’s CryoBoost 3-in-1 is one of the best options that’ll support 25W MagSafe. It charges your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all on one stand.
At $99.99 on Amazon, its one of the cheaper options that supports active cooling whilst also coming with a sufficient power adapter in the box.
Lastly, if you want a 25W MagSafe-capable battery bank, Belkin has you covered with its 10000mAh UltraCharge Pro. It’s a little bit thick, but it has two standout features: a kickstand, as well as a rear MagSafe ring for stacking a wallet on top of the battery bank. It also has a display on the side for displaying charge percentage.

Featuring two built in cables, a built in display, multiple ports, a 25,000mAh capacity, and up to 100W of output – this is one of the best battery banks for recharging your entire Apple ecosystem on the go.
Despite a new version reportedly being around a corner, I still personally believe AirPods Pro 2 are a great deal. They're already equipped with USB-C, and continually gain new software features. With them consistently going on sale, it's a great purchase to make. Features like Adaptive Audio are incredible.
