Upgraded Chargers: Charge in a Flash
Anker
I don’t always plug my phone in, but when I do it’s into a powerful fast charger. Wireless charging might be the best since sliced bread, but when you need to go from 5% battery life to 55% battery life in a hurry, you need a fast charger. Whether you’re shopping for a wall charger or a car charger , there are many great options.

Portable Batteries: For Charging on the Go
Anker
Over the years iPhone battery life has really improved, but in every group there is an all-day go-go-go power user. Whether they’re blowing out their battery playing mobile games they’re always exclaiming “I forgot to charge my stupid phone again!” these portable batteries will see them through.

MagSafe Accessories: Magnets, How Do They Work?
Belkin
MagSafe is a magnet-based tech from Apple that brought its popular magnetic charging design the MacBook to the iPhone. You can find it in everything from snap-on wallets to clip-free car mounts .

Do note that unlike the other gifts in this roundup, compatibility depends on the iPhone model. MagSafe accessories only work with iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models.
But if they have a compatible phone it makes for a pretty great gift because either your giftee is already using it (and more MagSafe gear is welcome) or they’re unfamiliar with MagSafe (and will be blown away by how cool it is).
Anker MagSafe Charging Puck
If your friend hasn’t started using MagSafe yet, you can’t go wrong getting them a basic MagSafe compatible charger to introduce them to wireless magnetic click-and-go charging.
