Wired's updated buying guide rounds up the best MagSafe accessories for 2026, covering iPhones and, increasingly, Android handsets thanks to the Qi2 wireless charging standard. MagSafe, Apple's magnetic accessory system built into iPhone 12 through 17 models (excluding the SE and 16e), allows faster, more precise wireless charging and lets users attach wallets, grips, mounts and chargers without clamps. The guide matters to shoppere because Qi2's new Magnetic Power Profile is extending MagSafe-style compatibility to non-Apple phones, meaning shoppers no longer need to be tied to an iPhone to use these accessories.

The August 2026 update adds new picks from SanDisk, Insta360 and ShiftCam, and swaps in a preferred product over a previous recommendation. Standout choices include the PopSockets Phone Grip (£17, discounted from £30), the Anker MagGo 10K power bank, the Apple MagSafe Charger (2m), and the Ridge Power Bank with built-in cables. The article also advises that iPhone users should pair MagSafe accessories with a proper MagSafe-compatible case to preserve magnetic strength, and notes that while MagSafe doesn't work natively with most Android devices, magnetic cases or adapters can bridge the gap, with Qi2 set to make this unnecessary over time.
