I Spent $800 On MagSafe Car Mounts. What's The Best Charging Car Mount For The iPhone 14?
Ғылым және технология
Looking to mount your iPhone 14 using MagSafe in your car? I've been using 12 different car mounts over the last few months from Scosche, Otterbox, Anker and ESR and here are my top picks.
The one product that you should stay away from is the Spigen One Tap Pro. It was bad across the board.
Top 10 MagSafe Car Chargers *:
1.) iOttie Velox: mreh.ca/3xhpwHw
2.) Anker 613 Magnetic Wireless Charger (MagGo): mreh.ca/3L8WHmb

6.) ESR HaloLock Dashboard Magnetic Wireless Car Charger: mreh.ca/3d9p8UI

This is the best style of review video I have seen in months. Cuts to the chase, no waffle, just pointing out significant issues. May they all be like this! Excellent work sir, keep it up :) Bonus doggo points.
Why can’t all reviewers do their videos like this. No BS and straight to the point! Nice
Awesome review! Love how you cover the important stuff (magnet power, charge speed, quality of the mount), then you actually test it and just tell it like it is! Love it! Great job!
I love how detailed the video description is... comments, findings, timestamp. great job!
I've been watching your videos recently to find a new mount system for my iPhone to use in my car and on my bike and I really appreciate the detail and entertainment value of your videos. Thank you so much!
Hey Aaron, your channel is definitely my go to whenever I look for accessories.
Love your reviews. Thorough but also short and concise. Thank you!
Thanks for the video! I decided on the Anker for the form factor, and the clean setup like you mentioned. I like mounting to the dash, so mounting to vent or windshield is not an issue for me. Your video sold me on the Anker, but his video was more in depth specifically only to the Anker. I tried using your purchase link, but it didn't work for me. So I used his. But you got a subscriber out of me. Thanks!
You’re one of the best tech reviews I’ve seen on KZread and deserve more views and exposure. Hope all goes well🙌
I subbed, love the energy and the in depth reviews, not influences.
You are a top notch reviewer man! I am so glad I came across your channel and thanks so much putting out the much needed content!
I’m glad to have found your videos. They have been super helpful! It’s thorough, quick to the point! Just what k needed
Glad I waited for this review which I didn't know I needed
This video was such amazing quality i think I’ve found a new favorite tech reviewer
Thanks for this stuff. I honestly look you up first when I start looking for stuff like this.
You made my buy the first 2 options, great video!
Loved the no bs straight to the point style. Congrats 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to share your honest reviews
You are literally a saint, as always thank you for your reviews 🙏🏻
great review with surprising results. as always, excellent reviews!
This was straight to the point and I loved it
Thanks for the video! I appreciate all the details you provided.
Appreciate the review. Was going to get the mous charger cause I usually buy the cases, but this changed my perspective a lot.
Great video, super helpful info. Good pace, fast but not too fast, but it’s the doggo for me. He won me over and that is why I subscribed LOL.
Always appreciate all the work you put into these reviews. However, I didn't see the Magbak get put on this list. Thoughts?
Your videos have been a lifesaver in the hunt for my IPhone 14 pro accessories! Definitely subscribing! If I could ask about this video, I’d like to purchase one BUT I wanted to ask How does the Iottie do with overall phone grip when using your Mous Limitless 5.0 case? Is the hold weaker?
Okay your video was awesome Thank you so much But I am loving your dog I think he was supervising to make sure you didn't forget anything Loved that tie
I liked the video because it's well made and was fun to watch! I subscribed when I heard "it was hard to get in Canada"!
Very informative video. Cleared all my doubts.
I’m so glad my iPhone has yet to be delivered cause I’m benefiting from your reviews. 🤗🙏🏼
Thanks for such a thorough video!
Hi Aaron. Great review as always! Two urgent questions since I am shopping right now: 1. Would a high-wattage PD car adapter not perform as well or better than the Apple 20W requiring an outlet or inverter? 2. What about the ESR Cryoboost car charger, which (even though it is 7.5W) purports faster-than-MagSafe charging speeds due to it's built-in cooling fan? What are the real world speeds? Note: this is most beneficial in winter, when air vents are blowing heat. Of course, you would close that vent, but it would still leak some heat, so a fan should be helpful. In summer, AC blowing through an open vent will be way superior to the fan.
Amazing as always
I got the iOttie Velox based on your last review of it and I've been super happy with it. The iPhone 14 is my first mag safe phone, so your channel has been really helpful in researching accessories. Thank you! That look on your face when one of the mounts fell and turned on your windshield wipers was hilarious. :)

Great “straight to the point “ presentation 👍
I just wanted to say I love your energy. I planned to just use PiP and half watch this for a decent product. Instead, I have watched it in the app doing nothing but watching the video straight up 😂
Thank you for these reviews, brotha! ^^
Incredible review. You should get a job at consumer reports. I love that after reviewing all of the devices you mentioned how to get the fastest speeds using Apple’s own MagSafe charger with a bunch of different accessories. I checked in your description for links to purchase the Apple MagSafe charger with the Spigen Magfit car mount and the other accessories that you listed but there were no links. Perhaps you should add links for those products as well. Trying to support your channel.
i really needed this video
Great review video, thank you.
Great video. Have you ever done any reviews of belt clip holsters?
Nice review. Very helpful
Great review vid, subscribed !
Another great review! I was wondering if the Otterbox mount plate can rotate 90° ? If so that would solve the landscape attachment strength issue.
Great video. Love your style. You don't happen to know of a CD slot MagSafe Charger do you?
Hey Aaron! As always, great reviews and insights on the variety of products available! Was waiting for this one. In addition to seeing what car mount charger is fastest, I would say the biggest concern for wireless charging in a car would have to be excessive heat. Naturally, car mounts allow more heat from the windshield due to the phone being close to the unshaded part of the dashboard. Would love to see a follow up comparison with the iOttie versus these 2 that I'm currently looking at: 1) Pitaka MagEZ Car Mount Pro w/ Cooling Fan 2) ESR HaloLock Wireless Car Charger with CryoBoost. ESR claims that with "CryoBoost" cooling the iPhone while in use/navigating, you would get a more efficient/faster charge over Apple's official MagSafe puck. P.S. the text in your "For those who need more info, see below!" section has a strikethough effect. 🙂

I've been using the CRYOBOOST, it works really really well. Can't recommend it enough.
Great review man! There are two other options you should probably consider reviewing: 1> ESR HaloLock Dashboard Magnetic Wireless Charger 2> Rokform - Adjustable Magnetic Windshield Phone Mount (this one locks to the window and WILL NOT come off)

Awesome helpful video 👍
Waiting for your Quad Lock Mag Case review and its compatibility with various wireless chargers magnetic/non-magnetic :)
Thank you for all your hard work and I love your humor! I have a bone to pick with the iottie charger I bought after watching you video, the usb-c adapter and cable don't fit together enough to make an electrical connection. No charging at all. This concerns me so I will not go through the hassle of buying another one, to maybe just return a second one. I like the idea of a lighted ring, but I need the landscape mode. Too bad Outerbox. Have you any new magsafe chargers you would recommend since this roundup?
great video!!! i like the anker design best but i feel like any mount with a gooseneck arm is always too short for me. & vent clips never work in my car. i had a regular clamp mount with an arm that’s a foot long which was perfectly in reach.
Thanks for the video. Are you planning on doing a video comparing magsafe wallets anytime soon? I’m using an old mous limitless 3.0 right now and i want another mous case but im not sure about the wallet
Would you be able to do a review on magsafe car mounts? With out charging? Love your reviews!!
Thanks for that "fastest possible" option at the end. Been really wondering if 15w wireless will be anywhere near my wired car charger?
I've looked at a lot of products and reviews yadda yadda yadda and decided to go with ESR HaloLock Wireless Charger with Cryoboost.. ended up getting it through ESR Direct who had a deal going on and they use a ball and socket setup. I am not a fan of vent mount setups and had a previous ball and socket cd mount which I just swapped in its place. I had an existing Huawei cigarette lighter adapter which I used and is capable of 20W so just using the Huawei supercharge USB-C cable plugged into the ESR and bob's your uncle :) When the iPhone is mounted, it has a solid magnetic grip and the cryboost kicks in keeping everything cool - this things blows so much air you can hear and feel it.
I’ve been using the Pitaka one and it’s been fantastic, super secure. Can’t get it to fall off going around corners 60+ lol
Hey, A serious question at the bottom but let me complement you first... Thanks for unbiased and honest reviews... I'm new to Apple tech and I've seen quite a few of your videos in past few days. Looks like you guys really put in a lot of efforts & I'm grateful for your inputs. Now, in this video you seem to have concentrated only on charging speeds (which is not of a big concern to me) but I'm interested to know which of these have the strongest magnetic hold while being sufficiently cool, most of my travel is off road for long durations and hence magnetic hold while being cool is of utmost importance to me. Can you please answer that? Appreciate it.
Love your dog. Imformative video, good job
Forget the chargers. I love your dog 🐶. It’s so cool
There is also one more option for 15w iphone charging which I currently use. And that is Apple Magsafe Battery Pack. The stack looks like that: ESR magsafe holder (non charging version) -> Battery Pack with magsafe ring -> IPhone. Battery pack is connected to 100w Baseus car charger, which guarantees 20w goes into it. Works like a charm. IPhone should have good enough magnet in a case to hold well on a battery pack.
Thaaaannkk YOU!! very helpful!
I purchased that Anker charger. I do love how the cable plugs in to the base, and then runs internally up the arm to the surface the phone mounts to. I use my mount in a semi truck, that friction joint, has a bit of "spring" to it, which will cushion the securement between the phone and mount, however, as it does bounce, with bigger bumps, not enough to knock the phone off the mount, but keep in mind the weight of your phone, because that will eventually cause the arm to bottom out on the base of the mount, and when that happens, the "cushion/spring" effect is gone, and a decent bump at that point will cause the phone to come off. The build quality, accessories, and charging speed in my opinion are all good, I just wish the magnets could be stronger, similar to older style full metal plate style magnetic holders
The Vent mounts are known to break vents. I've also had people report the mount breaking the radio when the vent mount breaks off and falls. I recommend Rennline and Coarse motorsports for a much better mount solution and a better looking design.
Just yesterday got PopSockets PopGrip for Mag Safe along with their PopMount (adhesive mount) for my dashboard. The PopSocket Mag Safe PopGrip is so strong that I have to use a fair amount of force to remove it from the back of my phone and the PopMount holds the phone securely with the PopGrip. I personally don’t mind the adhesive mount as it it small and black and just kind of blends in. I can just use a lightening adapter to plug in and charge while driving which is not a big deal for me. Total cost was about $38 and it feels very secure. 👍
Niiiice!! I’m trying to find the perfect one. I just got one from Mophie and it’s almost perfect but is kinda loose on the roll axis
Would like to see the ESR one with CyroBoost tested
Thanks your video helped me 😊
Thanks man!
Great vid
That last setup is great. I wish I had an outlet in my vehicle. Also, since my man doesn’t have an affiliate link, there’s a deal on Verizon’s website for the Apple MagSafe charger ($30 with free shipping)
I also use the same converter to charge my iPhone with the Apple charger and cable. I just don’t have the MagSafe charger and mount. Converter works really well
Great video and quality. Just a fyi, many people mount anker on the windshield without any issue😊
Love your dog!
I use the Apple MagSafe Charger mounted in a ProClipUSA MagSafe holder. They have custom mounts for almost every popular vehicle. It’s two parts, a base mount and the device holder. Best set up ever.

I just came here to say that I bought one of these last night. They make mounting brackets specific to certain models of cars. I have the Subaru Forrester version. I did not get the charging version, just the MagSafe mount. I need a wired connection to my car for Apple CarPlay to work. Not a big deal at all for all the benefits I get out of CarPlay.
Thank you for this bro also you are yolked dawg
My favorite car charger and I’ve bought many of them is pitaka’s MagSafe car charger. Hands down the best one so far. For someone who drives for a living I would recommend this one. I did just purchase Quadlocks new mag case and mag wireless car charger we will see if that replaces my pitaka.
I’m surprised you used that version of the ESR halolock and not the one with cryoboost. Silly marketing but it works really well to keep the phone cool. I also find I don’t want car chargers to be too fast because then I’m having to unplug it when it gets to 100.
great vid! Are you using an app to test charge wattage?
Hi bro Thanks for video
Love how Anker always scores super high. Such a reliably good company. 🎉
Well thank you. I have been using dual sim on my S22U for 8 months and it has been less than pleasant. I ordered an iPhone 14 Pro Max for a second device and want to make sure it doesn't fall while driving. Since charge speeds aren't the most important thing for me, as it will be a secondary device and not my primary, I am going with the iOttie. I just hope the cable is long enough to mount it to the vent on the left of my steering wheel instead of the right. If you read this, I have a suggestion... Review magsafe adapters for other devices. It would be cool to know I'm getting the best one of those for my S22U, which I would like to do since the mount I have for that phone is less than ideal.
They have several 15w chargers available out there but you have to use the QS 3.0 port on car chargers
thanks for the reviews. some of the items in your links (Anker mount) is no longer available on amazon. I can buy it from anker directly so wasn't sure how to give you the credit for it.
I have a ProClip which I'd love to see you cover in your future videos - I swear by it. They make a part specific to each car, and a part specific to each phone (or in my case, a part that holds an Apple MagSafe charger), and you just screw them together
I don't have a car yet but still loving the review! Never know when you might need to buy one to use in a friend or family's car on the next road trip...right? 😂
I literally could have used this 12hrs ago 😭

Anker one doesn't work in my truck. I guess it's not the right material to stick to. But I got a Course motorsports mount. It mounts behind your front console in most cases. The most sturdy thing possible and the magsafe magnet is great. Only issue is you will have limited (in most cases 2) options to put it either on the driver side or the passenger side.
How is this channel not at 1M. (4:04 lmao) Thank you!
I really like the otter phone charger, especially with a light up ring to see at nights
Bulletpoint mounts, at least for trucks. I have it on my 2023 F350, along with 7 inch backup cam for my 5th wheel, my wifes iphone, and a tpms monitor as well. Rock solid, nothing moves or shakes or vibrates at all.
I just switched to the joyroom charger because I use a super slim case which reduces the MagSafe attraction and it has these automatic arms that grip on the side
Thank you for the great review. I'm not looking for best charging mount. I'm looking for the best one to keep my phone stable and stay intact with magnet. What do you recommend
Nice presentation
Hi Aaron! Great video as always. I'm curious if the iOttie Mag charger would perform better than their own wireless autosense car mount. Any chance you have tested these 2 against one another?
