Apple unleashed the world’s fastest MagSafe charger last fall alongside the iPhone 16 – its latest 2nd-gen puck-style MagSafe charger is capable of delivering 25W of juice to iPhone 16, and iPhone 16 alone. It is otherwise very similar to the 1st gen model we have on sale here today – you can score one for $14.99, two for $27.99, or three for $39.99, all with free shipping for Prime members (A $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). 

These original Apple MagSafe chargers carried a $39 list price and are currently on sale from third-party sellers at Amazon for $35. That means we are scoring at least 62% in savings on the single by comparison to Apple’s original list price and even more than that on the 3-pack where pricing drops to just over $13 a pop. 

Woot’s units are brand new and ship with a 90-day warranty. Here are some additional details:

This product is BRAND NEW and comes to us directly from Apple. It will however arrive in a polybag or plain brown box.

Why, you ask? Because these are excess units from the final production run and Apple decided to liquidate them to wholesale instead of packaging them for Retail sale.

Again this is not the latest model, but it is otherwise nearly identical and provides the exact same amount of power to any MagSafe-equipped iPhone as the latest model, outside of the iPhone 16. As we have detailed previously, there’s certainly nothing wrong with the fastest possible charge speed, that’s for sure, but if you’re anything like me 15W is typically more than fast enough and, considering the deal price here today, it might be worth consideration if you’re looking for some spares to throw in your EDC, travel kit, or just around the home office. 

Be sure to dive into our feature piece discussing the benefits and value analysis of the latest 25W model for a deeper insight as to whether or not it’s worth spending the extra cash on the latest models or not – Apple’s new 25W MagSafe charger takes the power game next level, but do we actually need it?

And just for reference – we have seen them on sale for less then they are today a number of times in the last, here’s how pricing shakes out on the latest 25W model:

Apple MagSafe Charger 1st Gen features:

  • The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The perfectly aligned magnets attach to your iPhone 12 or later to provide faster wireless charging up to 15W.
