A few weeks ago, Anker unveiled a new range of accessories, including new external batteries, but also a new MagSafe support which has the particularity of having… Qi2 certification. The Anker brand sent us this new MagSafe Qi2 charger, the opportunity for us to see if it keeps its promises.
Current support for your iPhone?
Few people use them, but MagSafe supports for iPhones are real gems for a multitude of everyday situations. You can use it on your bedside table to charge your iPhone 16 (or other model from iPhone 12) while you sleep or you can install it on your desk at work to keep an eye on the screen of your iPhone. The supports are also perfect for watching videos, having a visual on a document or even making video conferences without having your iPhone in your hands all the time.
Anker is one of the accessories manufacturers who launched MagSafe holders for iPhones several years ago. The brand has offered its first Qi2 certified MagSafe support for this 2024 school year. This certification has an important meaning, because it allows you to benefit from better charging performance and a reduction in energy loss, while ensuring security. of their devices when using this support.
A happy medium for size
With this Anker’s new MagSafe holderyou won’t be overwhelmed by the size, it’s neither too big nor too small. We find a length and width of 8.79 centimeters as well as a height of only 15.29 centimeters. Its size is ideal for those looking for a discreet and easy-to-carry accessory.
In terms of performance, the support integrates a 15 W charger, which guarantees fast and stable charging. We were able to recharge an iPhone 16 Pro Max on it and it actually charged quickly, provided of course that you had a high-performance power adapter that supports it. Remember, however, that Anker only provides the USB-C to USB-C cable in the packaging, not the power adapter.
During our testing days, we were able to watch videos on YouTube and Prime Video, write messages, have a FaceTime conversation with editorial colleagues… This support allowed us to do several things hands-free. This is a strong point, especially for those who like to maximize their productivity while their device regains power.

The rotation of the support, one of the advantages
We didn’t know it when testing the product and we were pleasantly surprised during use, the Anker Qi2 holder has two types of rotation:
- You can tilt the base up or down
- The part on which the iPhone rests can rotate 360°, it emits a slight click with each rotation
On the security side, Anker did not do things by halves. Thanks to its MultiProtect system, the stand offers protection against overload and surge, while ActiveShield 2.0 technology controls the temperature of the device 3 million times per day. We didn’t notice any overheating of our iPhone while charging, a good thing since MagSafe charging is often prone to overheating!
What do we find in the packaging?
In the packaging we find the support as well as a USB-C to USB-C cable allowing you to connect the support to a power adapter. The box also contains a welcome guide and a 24-month warranty.
Our opinion
What we can say about this support is that it is solid and safe for your iPhone, the MagSafe link is particularly reliable (your iPhone does not risk falling) and charging is fast thanks to the Qi2 certification which makes all the difference for this type of product.
If you are looking for a support to free your hands when you use your iPhone and that quickly charges your iPhone, Anker’s support will definitely meet your expectations!
