While yes, Apple will always advise using its own chargers for its products, we also live in an age where third-party brands generally don’t suck anymore. Ask any tech enthusiast which Apple alternative brand is worth scooping up, and I guarantee you they’ll name-drop Anker. It’s not hard to see why, either; Anker’s prices are reasonable, its hardware is durable and it seems dedicated to making reliable products that don’t overheat or crap out after just a few months of use.
So many users say Anker’s version has a stronger, snappier magnetic bond for MagSafe charging.
The biggest visual difference between Apple’s and Anker’s MagSafe charging pads is that the latter has a thicker pad. On Anker’s, one side is flat for wireless charging, and the other is curved for a comfy way to hold your iPhone, so you can use it while it’s charging. It’s not flat on both sides like Apple’s version, but reviewers say it still lies flat on countertops without toppling over and it holds a phone well.
However, the biggest design difference is where this thing really shines.👀
So many reviewers say Anker’s version has a much stronger magnetic hold compared to Apple’s wireless charging pad.
