Apple chargers

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who are perfectly fine untangling cords every night before bed—and the rest of us, who just want to drop the phone and walk away, knowing it’s charging.

If you’re in that second group, the Apple MagSafe Charger (1st Gen) is about to become your new best friend. And for a limited time, you can score a verified new, open-box model for just $27.99 (down from $39.99). That’s a solid 30 percent off Apple convenience, and frankly, it’s the kind of deal your nightstand’s been waiting for.

Originally released in 2020 alongside the iPhone 12 lineup, it introduced a modern spin on wireless charging. Thanks to built-in magnets, it snaps into place with just the right amount of pull—strong enough to hold on while you scroll in bed, but easy enough to lift off when you’re ready to move. The 15W fast-charging speed makes sure you don’t spend all day tethered to an outlet.

Unlike traditional wireless chargers that require you to perfectly align your phone or risk waking up to a 2 percent battery, this one locks into the ideal charging spot every single time.

Of course, it’s not just for iPhones. If you’ve got AirPods with a wireless charging case, you’re covered. It also works with newer Qi2 devices, making it future-ready.

The included 1-meter USB-C cable provides plenty of flexibility, whether you’re charging at your desk, on the couch or from that oddly positioned outlet behind your bed. For optimal performance, Apple recommends pairing it with a 20W USB-C Power Adapter (not included). However, if you already have one from your iPad or MacBook, you’re good to go.

And no, you’re not getting someone’s old charger that fell behind a dresser. These are essentially new units that were returned to the store, maybe opened, but never used. The packaging might look a little less than perfect, but the charger inside has been inspected, verified and reboxed so it’s ready to plug and play.

The MagSafe Charger is one of those underrated Apple accessories that elevate your everyday routine.

In a move that could significantly impact Apple’s wireless charging technology in China, the country’s regulators plan to ban many wireless chargers, including Apple 15-watt MagSafe and Qi2 models, because of new radio-frequency rules, a new report said Tuesday. Why? Apparently it’s to “maintain the order of airwaves.”

For a MacBook Air or any other laptop, you need a minimum amount of power for a quick and efficient charge. The Apple 67W USB-C Power Adapter is a fast, compact complement that works with modern MacBook Airs and 14-inch MacBook Pros, and it’s compatible with a range of older devices as well.

For a limited time, you can get an Apple 67W USB-C Power Adapter for just $39.99. That’s a pretty spectacular 32% savings off the normal price of $59.

Amazon bargain site Woot! offers a blowout sale on Apple accessories — 40 items! — through September 30 at 10 p.m. PT.

The discounts on official Apple gear extend to up to 91% off in some cases! (And those are literally iPhone cases, btw).

Along with the reintroduction of MagSafe in the new MacBook Pro lineup, Apple released a new 140W (!!!) charger Monday to enable faster charging. And while getting 50% battery in a mere 30 minutes sounds impressive, the charging block that enables it looks comically large.

The 140W charger, which comes with all the new 16-inch MacBook Pros rolled out Monday during Apple’s “Unleashed” event, continues that trend.

Details have leaked out of an Apple USB-C wall charger more powerful than any the company currently offers. This has spawned speculation that it‘s for the rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro expected to launch soon.

A power adapter that offers more current leads to faster recharges.

Production of the long-overdue AirPower charging mat has begun at last, according to a report from Apple’s Asian supply chain.

Apple first showed off the multidevice wireless charger way back in 2017, but it remains hopelessly MIA. If this latest supply chain rumor proves true, the wait for AirPower could end soon.

The 2018 iPad Pro comes with an 18W power adapter. Apple just began selling this as a separate item.

Having a second charger for your tablet when you’re on the go is convenient, but Apple’s $29 offering might not be the best choice.

Apple is now selling a USB-C charger for Apple Watch. The 0.3-meter Magnetic Apple Watch Charger is identical in price and design to the USB-A version that’s been available for a while, but adopts the USB-C standard.

All of us iPhone users know the feeling of having to pull the plug and get out the door before the battery’s done charging. The sleek white charging block that comes with our phone channels the charge but can’t carry it, but with the NomadPlus it can. Designed to snugly fit Apple’s USB hub, it’s a great way to turn your average wall charger into a portable battery for just $24.99.

Looking for an awkward way to charge your brand new Magic Mouse 2? Why not use an iPhone dock!

Apple unleashed its new Lightning-enabled Magic Mouse earlier this week, featuring a lighter and sturdier form factor, as well as improved “foot design” for a smoother glide.
