Apple MagSafe Charger (1 m) - 25W Wireless Charging for iPhone 12-16
Published on 09/02/2026 at 13:51 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Apple MagSafe Charger (1 m) places Apple's magnetic wireless charging puck on a 3.3 ft USB-C cable, snapping onto the back of compatible iPhone models from iPhone 12 through the latest iPhone 16 generation for fast, stable charging on a nightstand or desk.
Key Specs And Charging Performance
According to the official listing, the Apple MagSafe Charger (1 m) delivers wireless charging up to 25W for compatible iPhone models when paired with a 30W USB-C power adapter, while iPhone 12 or later with MagSafe can charge up to 15W with a 20W USB-C power adapter.
The charger integrates a 1 meter USB-C cable permanently attached to the charging puck, so there is no detachable cable to misplace and no need to match separate cable and puck SKUs.
Apple documents this charger under internal model numbers A2580 for the 1 m version and A3250 for the 2 m version, and it is designed to work with MagSafe-compatible iPhones and Qi2/Qi devices including iPhone 8 or later and AirPods with a wireless charging case.
Compatibility And Everyday Use
Apple specifies that the magnetic alignment feature only applies to iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, and compatible iPhone 16 models, plus newer families such as iPhone 17 and iPhone Air, while other Qi or Qi2 devices simply sit on the puck without magnetic centering.
The same Apple documentation notes that when used with supported iPhone models and a 30W USB-C adapter, the MagSafe Charger can bring an iPhone 16 class device to around 50 percent charge in about 30 minutes, which matches the fast-charge behavior Apple lists for its current iPhone 16 line.
Target describes the Apple MagSafe Charger (1 m) (2025) as including the MagSafe charging puck with an integrated 1 m cable and confirms basic parameters such as a 25W power rating and USB-C connection for pairing with common Apple USB-C power bricks or USB-C ports on laptops and desktops.

Pricing And How It Compares
In the US, Target lists the Apple MagSafe Charger (1 m) (2025) at $39.99 as of 09/02/2026, aligning with typical pricing for Apple first-party accessories.
Price comparison services track a range of street prices for the MagSafe Charger (1 m), with listings from multiple US retailers between roughly $25 and $40 and a noted lowest recent offer around $19.89 for the same 1 m MGD74LL/A configuration.
Compared with generic 15W Qi wireless chargers that often sell below $20, the MagSafe Charger (1 m) carries a higher price but adds magnetic alignment for iPhone 12 and later with MagSafe, integration into the Apple ecosystem, and support for 25W charging behavior with current iPhone 16 models when paired with a 30W adapter.
Use Cases, Limits And Alternatives
With its 1 m cable length, the MagSafe Charger suits bedside tables, office desks and kitchen counters where the phone usually rests near the outlet; users who need more reach can opt for the 2 m version, which Apple sells as a separate product.
Because the cable is permanently attached, damage to the cord requires replacing the entire unit, so those who expect heavy cable wear might consider using a strain-relief clip or routing the cable carefully to reduce bending near the puck.
Within Apple's lineup, the key alternative is wired USB-C charging, which can deliver similar or higher charging speeds at lower accessory cost but lacks the magnetic snap-on convenience and the ability to pick up the phone without unplugging a connector.
