Kuxiu's latest battery packs and chargers offer the Qi2.2 wireless charging standard that brings 25W MagSafe charging to your iPhone 17. Here are the ones to check out during Black Friday.
People spend a lot of time considering which case they would like to use for their iPhone, but don't bother thinking about how their device is getting charged. I believe that's a big mistake, as keeping your device charged and battery healthy is just as critical as protecting it from damage.
I've got my go-to brands for various needs, like Anker for power adapters or Nomad Goods for cases, but Kuxiu has been my favorite for charging devices for several years. They've got some excellent options for iPads I've covered before, but today I'm sharing some interesting chargers for your iPhone.
I previously reviewed the Kuxiu foldable magnetic wireless chargers, and they quickly became a travel favorite of mine and my family's. This model, plus some interesting battery packs, have been updated to support Qi2.2, making them that much better.
Kuxiu has some additional discounts across its website for Black Friday, but you can apply the code BLACK25 at checkout for an additional 15% off eligible items. If you're reading this after the Black Friday promotion has ended, use code APPLEINSIDER for 10% off an eligible purchase.

Kuxiu X40 Turbo 3-in-1 MagSafe Foldable Wireless Charging Stand
I've always been a fan of wireless charging. It's way more convenient, but it comes with tradeoffs.
The Kuxiu X40 Turbo folds up to be a very portable 3-in-1 charger
Sure, chargers are faster than ever, but wireless charging will never be as fast or efficient as plugging in a cable to a high-wattage adapter. However, I vastly prefer the convenience of having a magnetic surface that I can attach my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods Pro to.
The X40 Turbo is a 3-in-1 folding travel charger that improves in nearly every way over its predecessor. It is much smaller in every dimension and folds into a smaller cube for easier storage.
In spite of the smaller size, you don't lose much height. The iPhone is still displayed at a good angle, perfect for StandBy on the nightstand.
Since Kuxiu has certified the X40 Turbo for Qi2.2, it can charge an iPhone 17 Pro Max at 25W. That's 50% battery recharge in about 25 minutes when using a 45W power adapter (included in the box).
The Apple Watch charger and AirPods chargers output 5W, which is sufficient for overnight charging to refill their batteries. This one small device takes over the job of three power adapters and three cables, cutting down on travel bulk.
Get the X40 Turbo for $78.99 from the Kuxiu website or the same price on Amazon. That's a discount from the regular price of $99.99.
Kuxiu K1 Ultra 3-in-1 MagSafe Wireless Power Bank
If you're looking for a bit more portability and versatility, the K1 Ultra 3-in-1 MagSafe Power Bank can charge two of your devices at once. The 10,000 mAh battery pack can recharge your iPhone 16 or newer at 25W and provide 5W to either an AirPods case or Apple Watch.
Kuxiu K1 Ultra is a power bank that can wirelessly charge two devices at once
The built-in kickstand props the iPhone up either in landscape for StandBy mode or in portrait with the rear panel folded out. That rear panel has a magnetic charger that works with Apple Watch or AirPods so you can top them off as needed while out and about.
The K1 Ultra also works great as a nightstand charger when traveling. Connect it to a power adapter to recharge the battery and provide power to the connected devices to ensure they're all ready for the next day.
I prefer a smaller battery pack and tend not to need the additional 5W charger when away from home, but it is nice to have in a pinch. This versatile battery pack might provide more utility than the folding travel stand since it can be used without a power adapter and nearby outlet.
Get the Kuxiu K1 Ultra 3-in-1 MagSafe Power Bank for $79.99 from Kuxiu's website. That's discounted from $99.99 for Black Friday.
Kuxiu S3 MagSafe Solid-State Power Bank
This third option is a bit more of what I like to see as a professional on the go. The Kuxiu S3 MagSafe Power Bank has a 10,000 mAh battery, a heavy-duty kickstand in the back, and a conveniently lengthy 9.5-inch built-in cable capable of delivering 35W wired.
The Kuxiu S3 Power Bank has a cable that can charge devices like iPads at 35W
The capacity is just enough to recharge your iPhone about twice from zero, but that's not how I use the device. Instead, I like having the option to display the iPhone in StandBy while running the cable into my iPad Pro Magic Keyboard for some extra battery.
While using the battery pack this way won't provide a full charge to both products, it's enough to add a few hours of use to the iPad Pro while keeping the iPhone topped off and showing StandBy. It's a smart battery pack that provides power to the devices that need a charge the most while I'm out and about.
If you need a fast charge for your iPhone, the integrated cable is much faster than even the 25W MagSafe charge. The integrated cable tucks away into the side of the battery when not in use.
Get the Kuxiu S3 MagSafe Solid-State Power Bank for $68.99 from the Kuxiu website. It is discounted from $149.98 during Black Friday.
Honorable mention: Magnetic iPad chargers
Not included in this roundup is Kuxiu's other products, which I've tested throughout the past few years. One product line in particular stands out: magnetic iPad charging stands.
Kuxiu's magnetic charging stands for iPad now have swappable plates
I've discussed these products before, but haven't had a great opportunity to point out a key upgrade to their latest models. Previously, these charging stands integrated the iPad magnetic charging plate with the articulating arm, but now they're separate objects.
That means you're no longer completely out of luck when Apple redesigns an iPad's magnetic structure or you're not stuck re-buying everything when switching iPad sizes. Instead, you can keep the original articulating arm and purchase the new charging plate separately.
Get the Kuxiu X38 Pro Max iPad Magnetic Charging Stand for $109.99 normally, and on sale for $99.99 on Kuxiu's website for Black Friday. The wall-mounted X36W Pro Max is available for $139.99 normally, and on sale for $94.99 on Kuxiu's website for Black Friday.
