MagSafe Battery Packs by Charge Fast Quick Review

Still waiting for the price of that flip charger with the watch included. That looked interesting, but I bet the price is unreasonable. We shall see; not sure I'll get a normal MagSafe charger if I do get the 12.

What About Wireless and MagSafe iPhone Charging?
If your nightstand is cluttered with AirPod, Apple Watch, and iPhone cables, it's time to streamline your power routine with a wireless charging pad. We assembled a list of our favorite wireless charging stations for Apple products, with phone-only and multi-device options at various price points.
iPhone 12 and newer models offer MagSafe as a faster alternative to Qi wireless charging. MagSafe allows you to wirelessly charge your device at up to 15W. Check out our favorite MagSafe chargers, but remember that you won't get the same speeds as with a wired charger and the right adapter. Most Qi chargers run at a slower rate of 7.5W, though Qi2 chargers can handle 15W.
Should You Buy a GaN Charger?
The majority of chargers on the market use silicon semiconductors. Gallium nitride (GaN) is an alternative to silicon that offers a lot of benefits: GaN chargers are smaller, more efficient, and require fewer components than silicon chargers. They’re also more expensive. Ultimately, traditional silicon chargers are fine for most people. However, if you’re looking for the absolute slimmest option on the market, it's likely to be a GaN charger.
