How many times has your iPhone charger snapped, leaving you with no way to power up your phone? Wireless chargers are a convenient way to make sure your devices are powered without the hassle of fumbling around with a cable. But Apple doesn't bundle a MagSafe charger with its devices, so if you want the convenience, you'll have to buy one separately. 

Right now, you can score a first-gen MagSafe charger for only $15 at Woot, which is a savings of 62% off the full price. However, this deal wraps up on Oct. 3 or when stock runs out, so don't wait around too long if you want to snag one at this record-low price.

After plugging in your MagSafe charger, simply put your phone or other MagSafe-compatible device on top of the charger -- that's it. The magnets in the MagSafe charging system will align and wirelessly charge your device up to 15W. This works with Qi charging, too, so it can wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or later and AirPods with a wireless charging case. 

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

You can get Woot's Apple MagSafe wireless chargers in bulk, too. Right now you'll get one for $15, a two-pack for $28 or a three-pack for $40. The more you buy, the higher the percentage off. They also come with a 90-day Woot limited warranty and Prime members can get free standard shipping (because Woot is an Amazon company). 

Note that this is the first-gen MagSafe charger, not the 2024 second-gen model that bumped speeds to 25 watts. And Apple just introduced a 2025 version alongside the iPhone 17 that's still 25 watts but now Qi2 certified, making it more future-proof with upcoming accessories.

Why this deal matters

Ordinarily, one MagSafe charger costs $39. With this deal, you can get three of those chargers for just $1 more, so you're essentially getting three for the price of one. The timing isn't random either -- Apple is clearing out stock of its older MagSafe chargers to make room for the latest versions. If you don't mind sticking with the earlier 15-watt model, this clearance prices makes it a compelling pick-up.
