Was looking for a wireless charger as the last $14 cheapie from Amazon is giving up after a year or so. This came across as the cheapest from one of the known brands(per my standards).

They don’t mention wattage for charging unless I am going blind but reviews seems to be positive. My main reason for trying this is braided cable as my previous chargers always fails at the connector on the device end but YMMV.

Copy/paste from Amazon listing.

Power in a Snap: fast and easy tap-and-go MagSafe-compatible wireless charging compatible with iPhone 14/13/12 series phones

Strong Magnetic Lock: powerful magnets with a holding strength of 1,200 g keep charger securely attached to your phone

Built to Last: ultra-durable cable with reinforced base and braided nylon outer casing is tested to stay looking and working like new after more than 6,000 bends

Extra-Long Cable: stay comfortable while you charge with 5-ft cable that gives you the freedom to move

Faster Charging: fully charge your phone 30 minutes faster than other MagSafe chargers with advanced heat-dissipating design that ensures charging speeds stay at their highest

  “They don’t mention wattage for charging”

  I suspect that means it’s not a certified MagSafe charger then…which means you’re limited to 5W charging as it’s probably just a glorified Qi charger with magnets.

    Actually I wouldn’t be so quick to discard it:

    The ESR claims 2h 45 minutes charge time which is the tested time from the Apple MagSafe below.

    Obtained via the listing itself for the ESR and Apple review below:

    https://www.phonearena.com/news/iPhone-13-pro-max-charging-s…

    “However, while you would think that this means MagSafe charges twice as fast, that's not really the case.

    In our testing, using the Apple MagSafe charger, it took about 2 hours and 45 minutes to fully charge up an iPhone, and that's a full hour more than with Apple's 20W charging brick and a wire. But that number really depends on what charging brick you connect your MagSafe charger to. Other tests have shown that using Anker's 30W chargers connected to MagSafe resulted in faster speeds and a full charger reached in 2 hours and 15 minutes.

    And compared to a standard 7.5W Qi charger, that takes about 3 hours and 15 minutes for a full charge, so it's safe to say that's not all that much of a difference (30 minutes more compared to MagSafe with Apple's 20W).”

      The thing about fast charging is it can charge your phone fast in the first 30 mins, like it can probably charge from 0% to 50% within 30 mins or so on a 15w to 20w brick and it starts to charge slowly onward, while it might take an hour for a 7.5w charger to charge from 0% to 50%. That's the biggest appeal for a fast charger anyways so if they only talk about the time for full charge without mentioning the first half of the charge they are being dodgy

        Hey mate, sorry for the dumb Q-new to MagSafe/fast charging

        I got one of the 30w from this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/746316

        If I buy the one posted or this one : https://amzn.asia/d/hPe7Cwf, is that considered to be a fast charger ?

  Question… Does this connect to a USB C or lightning port? Or charge directly from the brick?

    USB C at least that’s the one I’ve got from this deal
