Yes I was surprised a lot
Big fan of u

God bless u
I’ve an iPhone SE 2020,would it be helpful in charging this phone 📱
I was surprised that "Belkin is milkin" this in the high cost. Otherwise I would be very interested but too pricey. Thanks for a great review and comparison 👍.
Does it work with Samsung newer models? (Ex: S21 FE) 😄
Belkin is the most ‘Apple’ third party accessories manufacturer. And they do have a Belkin tax as expensive as the Apple tax.
Yeah, that is 100% true. This is why i never buy accessories from belkin. I wont be surprised if Apple bought them out.
Belkin, Mophie, Logitech and DJI
Honestly, I think it’s worse. Apple accessories do tend to allow Apple devices to work at their best. Things like their Thunderbolt cables actually perform to specs and don’t have weird gotchas, so you pay, but you get what you paid for, and they will replace it if it doesn’t function as expected and there’s Apple Store to provide reasonable retail service too. Belkin has none of those guarantees.
@@47crazed OtterBox too.
@@mbvglider Actually yes they do. Apple contracts Belkin as the only authorized third party
Damn. When I got my iPhone 12 Pro, I got the 20W with Magsafe charger. Was not expecting anything to be better. Sweet job.
How about temperature? What I know is temperature is the main reason that keep the wireless charging to slow down which try to protect the battery.
temp would theoretically be better because of improved ventilation
@@mhtechbd3954 you completely didn't understand my comment. The kickstand allows better ventilation to cool both the charger and the phone.
@@mhtechbd3954 Your comment was completely rude and unnecessary. It only demonstrates your huge ego and lack of social awareness. I think you completely missed his point. He was comparing the temps of Apple wireless charger to Belkin's wireless charger. With a kickstand, and the angle position of the phone it allows for better ventilation of both the charging plate and the phone. This would theoretically allow better tempts (albeit not significantly lower) compared to the official Apple charger, thus his point is not moot. He was not comparing the temps of wireless charging to wired.
Lastly, I think you should reflect on how you approach people but it is your life so feel free to keep arguing pointlessly to stroke your delicate ego. Cheers!
@@mmdday Yes you are right theoretically slightly better. I misunderstood your original comment, my apologies...
Although outer shell being non conductive not sure if that would make any meaningful difference
@@aarontran2688 Yeah you are right, I reflected actually, my apologies.
Although it was a misunderstanding rather than ego as I realised and apologised. I guess you have the same thing going with you as I had myself earlier.
But I understand we are not always best of what we can be..
Have a good day..
Belkin has been a (mostly) high quality third-party accessories supplier for so many years. I remember they were the only readily available french-canadian USB keyboards around 2000 (except for Apple's).
And the good thing is the cable is a little bit longer so I could lay in bed and use my phone while charging
Twice as long :)
@@MaxTechOfficial yup
It's slower for a reason; faster charging means a better thermal solution is needed, otherwise battery health is at risk. This is why most fast Qi wireless chargers have active thermal solutions to negate this issue.
Wow ,those are very surprising results!!!🔥🔥🔥.Awesome video,I appreciate all the efforts that you put in these videos,keep it up!!!🙂.
got the belkin charger. I love it. I was messing around with my friends apple one and then decided to buy one. At the time the apple one was £45 and the belkin one was like £25 so bit of a no brainer. But I do think the belkin one is better for a few reasons. 1.) The cable is longer and is braided so it reaches more places and is better protected probably going to last longer as well. 2.) The base of the magsafe puck is rubber so it doesn't slip around everywhere and finally the kickstand makes the charger a little more useful while being able to dissipate the heat better allowing for faster charging times.
What about heating issue?? And your mobile battery health??
Hi Max,
I see temp is main factor in wireless charging.
If you use a apple leather case is charging speed with the Belkin same speed as without a case?
Great review, I just got one for my iPhone 13, the magnets are strong when I use it with my PITAKA case.
I just found this channel and I love it.
I’ve been using the same Belkin block for 4 years, still works fine. People sleep on Belkin!
Definitely this channel deserves 1M subscribers 👏
I know that you have to use 20watt charger or more to properly charge at 15watt, but does it charge the phone at all if the charger is a 10, 15 or 18watt? Will it charge at 7.5 watt or will it not start charging unless a 20watt brick is connected?
What sold me is the longer cord. Also braided! I bought the Apple one but the cord is just too short. The slightly faster charging is okay but as long as it charges at a similar speed to the Apple one then I’m happy.
You kept mentioning that it didn’t have the charging brick as a negative but the Apple one doesn’t come with one either. I have plenty of charging bricks but even if I didn’t this wouldn’t be a negative in the sense of me choosing this one versus the Apple one.
I guess one big difference is charging with kick stand. The heat can easier dissipate by lifting the phone up. The heat capacity of the pug itself is presumably also higher and the surface is bigger.
how hot is it even going to get when you're watching videos lol. Also if you're concerned about heat, wireless charging is not for you, it's the least efficient and hottest way to charge your phone.
This is a great example of the importance of competition to drive innovation. Imagine how much better the Apple ecosystem would be if it was more open to competition beyond accessories.
Why have competition when the big guys can legally buy the politicians they want? “Conservatism” btw
More open doesn’t mean better… from when people can’t accept someone identifying as a table…. How would your statement about being more open make it better
My question is does the puck wobble when laying flat? Throughout the vid it’s propped up by the kickstand.
IMO if you want fast charging just do it wired. Wireless imo is only really good for long term/lazy charging
The Apple "puck" is between slow/lazy and fast/damaging. Wired charging is great for emergency charging when you have to get a charge in a hurry, but there is a price to pay in shortening battery longevity. (Or so I understand)
@@ForumCat I think wireless has a much worse impact than regular wired charging. Maybe I misunderstood your comment though it looks like you said wired charging has the trade-off of battery longevity
@@Slothups As I understand it the faster you charge the more you reduce the number of times the battery can be recharged. Slower charging is kinder to the chemistry.
5w wired charging is always best for your battery. Wireless charging introduces extra unnecessary heat.
@@jordandiefe but it’s slow af in modern standards.
Go for fast wired charging, it’s a lot faster, but you have that annoying cable.
Go for wireless, convenient, but it’s slower, less inefficient+runs the risk of misalignment+can’t use phone effectively
Go for MagSafe, it’s definitely more efficient than regular wireless as there is no misalignment + fast + no cables at risk of breaking + can still use your phone. Win-win!
If the speed is thermals limited, what happens if you put that Razer Peltier phone cooler behind the Apple MagSafe charger?
Hello! Excelent video! I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max with original Apple 20W Charger. Does this Belkin Magsafe Charger offer 15W charging like 13 and 14 lineup?
I think it's more accurate to say that the Belkin charges 10% faster than Apple's, as before the Belkin hits 90% the Belkin battery total is consistently 10% higher than Apple. This is great for heavy users, but to help the lithium battery last longer I try to charge it slower and stop at 80%. I wish there was an iPhone (and watch and Mac) setting to stop charging at 80% instead of eventually charging to 100% when I forget to unplug the charger.
You can make a Siri shortcut to notify you when the battery hits 80%
Wow you people really need to use youre phone and replace the battery instead dof Everyday adapting to safe IT .....IT isnt Worth IT in life
that's a myth, I always charged my phone to 90% heavily (i travel) and my phone's battery health is still 100%. iphone 11 pro
@@technicalactivity It's not a myth, but he did misunderstand the problem somewhat. Fully charging a battery isn't what hurts it... keeping it fully charged for long periods of time is what hurts it. So if you charge your battery to 100% and immediately start using it to bring the level down some, it's not going to hurt it. But if you charge your battery to 100% and then just let it sit at that level all night, that degrades it. That's why some Apple devices now only charge to 80% when you plug them in at night and wait until near morning to charge the last 20% to 100. This is especially important for tablets and laptops that might be turned off and not used for extended periods of time. Never charge your laptop to 100%, turn it off, and then just leave it for days or weeks at a time. If you know you aren't going to use it for a while, just stop charging at 80% before turning it off and putting it away. It will be a lot better for the battery.
I can’t wait for the M2 pro! I’ll be watching your reviews brother 🤟🏻
Did you run the charge tests with the same or different phones?
Pretty good. The drawbacks are (1) can't use in a stand as you said; (2) puck is quite thick. Wondering if Belkin has anyting similar (better?) for iPhone 14 Pro Max. Apple screwed up on the MagSafe charger. First Apple producted I think they really screwed up. And by that I mean (1) cord is not detachable; (2) short cord length--do they think every USB or outlet is just 5 feet away or less? Why?? Apple has never been good about cord length. With all these options that tend to have drawbacks I am inclined to just buy a MagSafe case or even a regular thin case and keep using my old Qi chargers. Though this product by Belkin comes closer to a good solution than most.
It is going to sound weird, but I prefer to have slow charge. No idea if true but I think slow charger will preserve better your battery. I usually have my mag safe that only use at night and my fast charger that usually is only used when I'm running low and need some extra charge to make it to end of day.
I got the Belkin with charger plug from Best Buy for $29.99 Canadian ❤ thanks for the excellent review!!!
I realize that this video is 1 year old now, but with the iPhone 14 Pro Max work with this or does Belkin make a specific charger like this each year for each iPhone
What’s the name/model/brand/ link of the Apple MagSafe adjustable stand shown at 6:46 ?
Cool video! Thank you
I can not unsee the time it takes to (inductively) charge the best smartphone in year 2022. Damn...
Any pucks that come with a battery that you can use later to charge phone without being plugged in?
Does it work with a thicker case? Like does the kickstand stay up
How fast is the Belkin Boost Pro 3 in 1?
Higher price than Apple for a 3rd party accessory is absolute deal-breaker.
Not really when it’s objectively better. High quality braided cable and kick stand, miles ahead will last longer.
But it’s better anyway.
brainwash fan. it's not the brand you should be looking for, but how objectively better the product is.
Actually a lot cheaper now
Can you do the chatting speed between the belkin 3 in 1 tree shaped MagSafe charger Vs apples one?
Whats the app you use to tell you whats the charge wattage is
Great video
30 minutes faster… I feel tempted!
I have been watching this channel for years! Totally great contents with very informative! I do watch these videos then buy a gadgets honestly~ I wish I could become winner of Macbook Air M2 this time (fingers crossed)
I prefer using the Anker 7.5W as it charges plenty fast but doesn't stress the battery to the same degree.
It's very hard to limit your charging to 80% when your phone charges instantly; even with the 7.5W if I'm not extra careful I accidentally charge the phone to 100%.
If you’re that worried don’t use wireless charging. Any wireless charging is going to stress the battery more then wired charging. By the Apple 5 W charging brick and use a wire.
I charge my phone to 100% every time just because it’s not worth stressing about a $29 battery on a $1000 phone
The 5 W power brick with a USB A cable will charge any of the current iPhones besides the SE much slower
I might wait until Anker makes one, or just get the $70 one that also charges my AirPods and phone at the same time.
The ultimate MagSafe puck would be one like Belkin’s that has a heat sink and fan in it! :)
thanks but does it ruin your battery for faster charge is an important question? not always worth it...
Unrelated; how is the stainless steel gold holding up on your watch & band?
will this work on an iphone 8 plus, it has wireless charging
I can’t find a link to buy!!!!!
Does Belkin magsafe charger have the ability to update magsafe firmware like Apple magsafe charger?
I use the Apple MagSafe charger in my car in a stick-on dashboard holder I found on Amazon. It works perfectly! The only thing I wish Apple or some other manufacturer would do is create one with a black cable which matches my car’s interior. And no, coloring the white Apple connector with a sharpie is not satisfactory. Any thoughts on where to get something like this (along with a stick-on holder) in black?
I just found out that Belkin makes this in black!!! However, like Max says, it’s slightly different shaped, so I need to find some sort of stick-on holder for it for my car…. I’m open to ideas here because it looks great.
@@toobalicious use 3m adhesive to a regular mount
There’s tons of magsafe adapters that can pretty much chain together
@@toobalicious Mous makes MagSafe charger
@@alecshoemaker5908 Thanks Alec - and, it’s black!!! Thinking about how to adapt their suction mount to attach to dash with crinkly vinyl coating…
@@toobalicious I have the black Belkin MagSafe charger in my car! I used some gorilla glue tape to attach it to a scosche dash mount and ran the cable under my trim to the center console so the cable is completely concealed with the exception of where it comes out between trim pieces (about 2 cm of cable exposed)
No man.
Its not worth it
First..its expensive
Second...no charger brick...(another expense for Anker charger)
Third...the speed is not that different....
Coz i charge my phone to 80-85% and plug it at abt 15-20%
So 30 min difference doesnt matter
So I can’t find this new puck anywhere?
all of them say 7.5 W?? is it not out yet??
Android to Apple : At that time i can charge two phones😂
I wish people would stop calling this a wireless charger. It's exacty the same as plugging a charger in. It just attaches to the back rather than plugging in at the bottom and still has a wire trailing.
I must say that every manufacturers that is listed on apple website make great products like Bellini here
How about an Amazon link to this new product???? ????????????????????????????
Would this work on iPhone 11 Pro?
My iphone charger port got damaged yesterday and I need to know will this type of charger charge my Iphone SE still??
no, SE does not have the magsafe charging capabilities
But unlike a slower standard wireless charging puck, this will stick to your phone as you lift it off the table. How is that useful?
I keep forgetting I have a $50
MAGSAFE charger.
Slow and gets hot, idk its in my home office somewhere.
Would be nice if they have a back mount to a 14mm ball
Hope its a good one
i cant find the one with the stand on the bk
One thing to you forgot is how comfortable the apple’s magsafe charger is since it’s so thin. Belkin’s one, while more versatile, is less comfortable when using the phone while charging.
With the new night stand feature of iOS 17, this cable would make even more sense
Good job with the video as always. However, I stopped watching after I heard the price for the charger.
Maybe I’m missing how this is better than a wired connection? This isn’t exactly a wireless experience, apple MagSafe or not, & a 10foot lightning cable is likely still cheaper?
Hmm… $5 2m MFi lightning cable or $60 2m MagSafe puck 🤔 I don’t really see the appeal for using a MagSafe charger while using the phone as it hinders ergonomics and charges slower than a regular cable. The appeal of qi/MagSafe is that I can charge more easily overnight or on my desk as I do work.
been boycotting Belkin since ~2008 they pulled some nasty stuff like not updating drivers for new versions of windows.
but I guess w/a charger, it's low-tech enough for them to handle properly. still haven't forgiven them lol.
same here, some of their products are garbage
On the packaging of the Belkin Charger it says to please use a 27W Adapter. Why?
Qi Charging Efficiency :) in order for 15W to reach the device, you have to throw a lot more at it ^^ Depending on the attempt, up to 47% of power is lost ...
Oder auf Deutsch: Verlustlesitung.
Verlustleistung durchs QI halt.
Where does it say that? Perhaps you’re looking at a different model but the one shown in the video says “ Requires 20 W or higher USB-C power adapter to charge”. If you stop the video at 1:34 you can see this
How does the Belkin charge non Magsafe iPhones?
Probably the longest ad I’ve seen lately
can it charge samsung phones wireless?
Great video aside from hearing “on accident” 😂
I think those braided cables are a little bit too stiff.
The one thing that I wish samsung would do as it seems a good idea and I am surprised that samsung didn't do it 1st
What about the long term battery health impacts
life is too short to worry about a phone battery. just enjoy the godamn phone
I mean you don't really have to worry about that because apple will release battery replacements to do at home with a guide, so in the end, you can replace the battery and have full capacity in later this year.
@@senzuka_se not when you wanna Keep our phone for more than 2 years cause theres not much reasons to upgrade
they should make a magsafe popsocket
I use one plus wired 65watt charger, charges 15 to 90 perc in 25mins.
I hope you’re ready to get a new battery soon. I mean it’s only $29 but charging that fast puts a considerable strain on the battery
I would probably choose the apple charger just because of how thick belkin’s is.
Awesome 👍😎 thanks for all you testing and in-depth analysis.... My big take-away was actually, WOW 😲😳 over two hours to charge a phone? 🤳 📱 ....now that I switched to M1 MacBook Pro, from PC laptops, I am thinking 🤔 of going "all-in" Apple-Fan-Boy and get iPhone 14, when it comes out, but - WOW - my OnePlus phone with "Warp Charging" is 👍 good to go after 20-30 minutes! Apple 🍎 needs to catch up to the rest of the phone market!
so many emojis jesus christ stop the cringe
@@horisonskies3868 It reminds me of my sister sending message on twitter
Does it work on S22 Ultra???
I stopped the video as soon as they said $60 with no brick.. I’m good 😂
I find it plenty easy to use a plugged-in cable to charge. And I especially like using the brick from my M1 Max Macbook with 140W to charge my phone and other Thunderbolt accessories (AirPods). The accessories only pull as much power as they can use (no danger using the mega brick), but that means my iPhone 13 Pro Max can pull 27W, which is almost twice as fast as either puck in your test. Please add the 140W brick charging to your graph--I dare you ;)
lol I think the 100w brick is a bit overkill there. how sick would it be if iPhone just used usb-c 🤤
The nice thing about magsafe charging is u can aim the cable a different direction off the back if you are using it. I like pointing mine up instead
Love MagSafe on the MacBook… dislike the puck (never use it anymore)… they should add a MacBook like mini MagSafe port, a lightning port and a few usb-c ports. More ports = more better!
To an iPhone? Not a chance. There’s a reason why companies are ditching so many ports on a smartphone.
Why are you not just reading the watts and whatever with a watt meter?
does this work in iPhone XR ?
The charging will at up to 7.5 watts but the magnetic part will only work with the 12 and 13 series iPhones because they have the attracting magnet built into the phone. That also allows them to charge at up to 15 watts.
Apple new design = new way to charge
I would never spend that much on a phone charger lol
It's 30 bucks with adapter on Amazon now
i wish they would axe the magsafe on iphones. I constantly have metal shavings stuck to the back of my phone
Faster means higher battery temperatures = worse battery health
I think that Apple knows best.
Magsafe charging via
Cable
And by wireless
Are propriety of apple like lightning cable
Usb-c can charge up to more than 100w. Its 10 times faster than Magsafe
Belkin is the trust product from magsafe and is less charging time than apple's magsafe.
Belkin rocks!
Is it compatible with iPhone 15?
Absolutely.
I going to get the belkin charger
Belkins products are Great
Isn’t the lack of power adapter due to EU requirements ?
