Apple MagSafe Charger 1 m - Up to 15W for iPhone 12-15

Apple MagSafe Charger (1 m) is a magnetic wireless charging pad for compatible iPhone models. With a 20W or greater USB-C power adapter, the A2140 charger delivers up to 15W to iPhone 12 through iPhone 15 models.Apple's compatibility guidance identifies the part number, adapter requirement, and charging limits.

Magnetic Charging for iPhone

The charger uses magnets to align with MagSafe-equipped iPhones, including iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15 models. Apple also lists compatible iPhone 16 models, but the A2140 version remains limited to up to 15W on iPhone 12 and later with a 20W USB-C power adapter.

The integrated USB-C cable measures 1 meter. Apple includes the charger and the integrated cable in the box, while the power adapter is sold separately.Apple lists the 1-meter length, box contents, compatibility, and current product specifications.

Price and Compatibility

Apple lists the 1-meter MagSafe Charger at $39.00 as of 09/23/2026. Target lists the same 1-meter charger at $39.99 and identifies a 1-year limited warranty, 15W output, 9 volts, 3 amps, and a package quantity of 1.Target's listing also identifies the USB-C connection and Made for MagSafe certification.

For iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini, Apple specifies up to 12W with an adapter rated at least 9V and 2.03A. With a lower-powered adapter delivering at least 12W, the charger still functions, but Apple states that charging is slower.

How It Compares

The original A2140 model is narrower in capability than Apple's newer 1-meter MagSafe Charger models, which can reach up to 25W on compatible iPhone 16 models with a 30W adapter. The older unit's 15W ceiling remains suitable for iPhone 12 through iPhone 15, but it does not provide the newer model's higher charging output on supported iPhone 16 versions.

Compared with a standard Qi charger, MagSafe adds magnetic alignment and a 15W ceiling for supported iPhones. Consumer Reports measured the A2140 charging an iPhone 12 Pro from empty to full in 2 hours and 37 minutes with Apple's 20W adapter, compared with 2 hours and 45 minutes for a 15W Samsung stand charger.Consumer Reports recorded the charging comparison.

Best Fit and Limits

Apple MagSafe Charger (1 m) fits users with an iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, or iPhone 15 who want magnetic alignment and up to 15W wireless charging. The short cable suits a desk or bedside setup, while the separate power-adapter requirement adds another component.

For iPhone 16 owners seeking the highest wireless charging rate, the newer 25W-capable MagSafe Charger is the more capable match. The A2140 remains a precise choice for older MagSafe iPhones, Qi-compatible devices, and AirPods cases that support wireless charging.
