ZEROLEMONMagnetic Wireless Charger [10ft], Compatible with Mag-Safe Charger, Fast Wireless Charging Pad for iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16/15/14/13 Series, iPhone 13/12 Mini, AirPods - Rugged Blue

This is my first magnetic charger for my phone. I have used ZeroLemon cords on and off over the years. Their 10/12/15ft cords were amazing. Best thing ever when they were still making them. Everyone needs a long charging cable, even if they don’t know it 🙂I had some hesitation using this magnetic cord for the first couple weeks... like is this too good to be true? Another gimmick? I did not like “wireless charging” used in the past because you couldn’t use the device while it was charging. This magnetic version finally makes that functional!Apple bringing magnetic chargers to iPhones reminds me of the “good ‘ol days” of the amazing MagSafe power cord for the MacBooks.... (Can Apple please give us those back ASAP? Like I really think they should add that feature back... kind of like how the charger brick and cable should have been given out for the iPhone 12’s).Back to the cord... It’s been very sturdy over the last few weeks I’ve used it. The usb-c mag charger plays nice with the Apple charger brick that came with my past iPhone (18w), and also used the cord with a non-Apple brand charger brick. The cord still allows the phone to charge pretty fast. I’ve used other brands of cords, and sometimes those can cause a pop-up on the phone saying “accessory not supported.” That hasn’t happened to me when using ZeroLemon products.I like to change up my phone cases, and the cord has worked with all my cases without any issue. I think this cord is affordable, and I will save money in the long run as it won’t be bending and breaking and actually works with my accessories.The only issue that I’ve experienced is that the charger sporadically gets a bit warm. I’ve not been able to pinpoint the exact cause. It seems to stay a lot cooler if I have my phone in my hand and am using it (like what I’m doing now writing this review). It has occurred with and without a case on, and I’ve tested setting it on different surfaces. Also have noticed it feels warmer to the touch when the battery gets to about 50%.My verdict is that this cord is worth trying out. Their customer service has been great over the years and I dig the new product.

The media could not be loaded.  The ZeroLemon Magnetic Wireless Charger in Blue for iPhone 12 and 13 is an effective alternative to Apple's MagSafe charger. First, it costs less. Second, it has a longer braided 10 foot cord that it much nicer than Apple's 3.3 foot cord. The cord is tangle free and reaches under your desk or bed without fear of unplugging when using the phone. Charging is quite fast at 7.5W on my iPhone 13 Pro, but slower than Apple's maximum of 15W. It also plugs into any USB-C adapter with power delivery or your Mac. The magnet has a strong hold and connects quickly without any special alignment. Even with a phone case, it charged flawlessly, although the magnet did not hold as strong.

I'm a big fan of both wireless charging, and of Apple's older magnetic charging cables. When they announced that they were bringing back the MagSafe brand as a wireless charger that attached magnetically, I was naturally very interested. The $40 cost of the Apple-branded charger, however, kept me from actually experimenting with the technology.Until I heard that ZeroLemon had introduced its own MagSafe charger, and for half the cost of what Apple was asking. So I ordered one immediately, and after a few days of using it with my iPhone 12 Mini, I can absolutely say that ZeroLemon delivers on all of Apple's MagSafe promises.The first thing I noticed after taking it out of the package was how good the overall product felt. The charging puck is very well constructed, and doesn't feel like a non-Apple product in the slightest. This is a huge plus in my book, because it reassures me that I'm going to get a few years of use out of it. I also love the length of the cable that ZeroLemon has included. Given that MagSafe is designed to be used while its attached to the phone, having a long enough cable to reach the charging brick is key to the experience. There's no need with this one to have it stuck permanently on a desk or night stand.The charging speed and performance seems solid. iOS--as far as I'm aware--is still pretty tight-lipped about revealing how fast a device is charging, so there's no real indication of what speed the device is performing at. At no point in my use so far has it felt slow, however, and my battery percentage increased noticeably even while I was using it, which leads me to believe that it's operating in at least one of the faster charging states. I wish Apple would reveal a bit more about this, so users could understand how their devices are performing. But given what we have to work with, I'm happy with what I'm getting from this charger.All told, this is an enormously impressive device. It's everything I would have expected from Apple's MagSafe chargers, but for half the price. I'll absolutely be using this one for a long time.

Update from previous review, it turns out it was the box that I had bought from apple that broke. The charger has and always worked perfectly fine. But, it is not compatible with Apple’s usb C 20w charging brick. Once I found out it was the brick that broke the whole time, I bought two more bricks from apple (I have two of these chargers now) and after one day of being connected I could hear loud static from the charging stations, both of them, just like before with the old brick. So my great assumption is that this charger is incompatible with Apple’s brick. So if you want to use these cable you have to use Zerolemon’s brick. Which ofc is the brick made for these cables. So far so good with the zerolemon’s bricks.I used this charger for so many months, a long time and it works amazing. Everything was going perfectly fine, until I decided to take my charger to my car and then it just suddenly stopped working. It was winter time so idk if it was the coldTemperatures but all I did was take it to my car in the morning, brought it back inside at night, and bam, it’s dead. Kinda sucks honestly but it is an amazing charger, I guess I just wish it was more durable
