When looking for a MagSafe car mount, you should be sure that it is compatible with your desired mounting point, be that a car vent, dashboard, cupholder, or windshield.

Another key consideration is the wireless charging aspect of MagSafe technology: Do you want a car mount that can charge your iPhone while you're on the go or one that will just hold the phone securely?

Though Apple recently introduced faster 25W MagSafe charging in the iPhone 16 series, our extensive research into the options currently available has yet to produce a car mount we can recommend that directly enables 25W charging.

On that note, the best MagSafe car mounts on the market provide a secure magnetic connection for any of the best iPhones and up to 15W wireless charging. More than anything, a car mount should be sturdy enough in its attachment to prevent the mount and your phone from falling off their mounting place. 

Yes, MagSafe technology is strong enough to securely attach any MagSafe-compatible iPhone (iPhone 12 series or later) to a car mount, provided that you either have a MagSafe-compatible iPhone case or no case.
