Wireless charging has become a staple for iPhone users — especially with MagSafe making it faster, smarter, and more efficient. But if your iPhone is heating up or charging slower than you expect, you're not alone.
This guide will walk you through how to wirelessly charge your iPhone faster and safer, how to choose the right accessories, and how to protect your phone without compromising performance.
What Is Wireless Charging (and How Does It Work with iPhone)?
Wireless charging uses electromagnetic induction to transfer energy from a charging pad to your iPhone’s battery.
Starting from iPhone 8, Apple devices support Qi wireless charging, and beginning with iPhone 12, they introduced MagSafe — a magnetic alignment system that improves charging speed and efficiency.
MagSafe vs. Regular Wireless Charging: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Regular Wireless Charging | MagSafe Charging |
|---|---|---|
| Max Speed | ~7.5W | Up to 15W |
| Magnetic Alignment | ❌ | ✅ |
| Accessory Support | Limited |
MagSafe-only gear like wallets, car mounts, and cases ✅ |
Tips for Faster iPhone Wireless Charging
1. Use a Certified MagSafe Charger
Not all wireless chargers are equal. For full 15W speed, use Apple-certified MagSafe chargers or trusted brands like Belkin or Anker with Made for MagSafe (MFM) certification.
2. Ditch Bulky or Uncertified Cases
Thick or non-MagSafe cases can slow or block charging.
Use a MagSafe-compatible case designed to allow seamless power flow and precise magnetic alignment.
Charge on a Flat, Ventilated Surface
Heat is the enemy of fast charging.
Avoid soft surfaces like beds or couches. Instead, place your charger on a hard, cool surface and keep the air flowing.
4. Don’t Use Your iPhone While Charging
Using your phone while it’s charging generates more heat, which can trigger the battery management system to slow charging.
Avoid These Wireless Charging Mistakes
- Charging with a dirty or scratched phone back
- Using metal plates or magnetic rings that aren't MagSafe-certified
- Stacking cards or other items between your phone and charger
- Leaving your phone on a charger overnight (especially on non-certified pads)
How to Keep Wireless Charging Safe
- Choose UL-listed and Apple-certified wireless chargers
- Use slim, ventilated cases that don’t trap heat
- Avoid cheap knockoffs — a poorly made charger can damage your iPhone battery over time
