New Apple Products Are Here, but I’m Eyeing This $15 MagSafe Charger Instead
How many times has your iPhone charger snapped, leaving you with no way to power up your phone? Wireless chargers are a convenient way to make sure your devices are powered without the hassle of fumbling around with a cable. But Apple doesn't bundle a MagSafe charger with its devices, so if you want the convenience, you'll have to buy one separately.
Right now, you can score a first-gen MagSafe charger for only $15 at Woot, which is a savings of 62% off the full price. However, this deal wraps up on Oct. 3 or when stock runs out, so don't wait around too long if you want to snag one at this record-low price.
After plugging in your MagSafe charger, simply put your phone or other MagSafe-compatible device on top of the charger -- that's it. The magnets in the MagSafe charging system will align and wirelessly charge your device up to 15W. This works with Qi charging, too, so it can wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or later and AirPods with a wireless charging case.

You can get Woot's Apple MagSafe wireless chargers in bulk, too. Right now you'll get one for $15 , a two-pack for $28 or a three-pack for $40 . The more you buy, the higher the percentage off. They also come with a 90-day Woot limited warranty and Prime members can get free standard shipping (because Woot is an Amazon company).
Note that this is the first-gen MagSafe charger, not the 2024 second-gen model that bumped speeds to 25 watts. And Apple just introduced a 2025 version alongside the iPhone 17 that's still 25 watts but now Qi2 certified, making it more future-proof with upcoming accessories .
Why this deal matters
Ordinarily, one MagSafe charger costs $39. With this deal, you can get three of those chargers for just $1 more, so you're essentially getting three for the price of one. The timing isn't random either -- Apple is clearing out stock of its older MagSafe chargers to make room for the latest versions. If you don't mind sticking with the earlier 15-watt model , this clearance prices makes it a compelling pick-up.
