How to wirelessly charge your iPhone

Learn how to wirelessly charge your iPhone with Qi-certified charging accessories.

What you need

Your iPhone features integrated wireless charging that allows for an easy and intuitive charging experience. Your iPhone works with Qi-certified chargers that are available as accessories and in cars, cafes, hotels, airports, and furniture. Qi is an open, universal charging standard created by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).

Many Qi-certified chargers charge iPhone with the latest version of iOS at rates up to 7.5 watts. These chargers are available at the Apple Online Store and Apple Stores.

Other Qi-certified chargers might vary in functionality and performance. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

Charge wirelessly

1. Connect your charger to power. Use the power adapter that came with your accessory or a power adapter recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Place the charger on a level surface or other location recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Place your iPhone on the charger with the display facing up. For best performance, place it in the center of the charger or in the location recommended by manufacturer.
4. Your iPhone should start charging a few seconds after you place it on your wireless charger.

You should see in the status bar.

Learn more

• Learn about charging with the MagSafe Charger and MagSafe Duo Charger.
• Wireless charging uses magnetic induction to charge your iPhone. Don’t place anything between your iPhone and the charger. Magnetic mounts, magnetic cases, or other objects between your iPhone and the charger might reduce performance or damage magnetic strips or RFID chips like those found in some credit cards, security badges, passports, and key fobs. If your case holds any of these sensitive items, remove them before charging or make sure that they aren’t between the back of your iPhone and the charger.
• If your iPhone isn’t charging or is charging slowly and your iPhone has a thick case, metal case, or battery case, try removing the case.
• If your iPhone vibrates—when it gets a notification, for example—your iPhone might shift position. This can cause the charging mat to stop providing power to your iPhone. If this happens often, consider turning off vibration, turning on Do Not Disturb, or using a case to prevent movement.
• Depending on the charging mat you have, you might hear faint noises while your iPhone charges.
• Your iPhone might get slightly warmer while it charges. To extend the lifespan of your battery, if the battery gets too warm, software might limit charging above 80 percent. Your iPhone will charge again when the temperature drops. Try moving your iPhone and charger to a cooler location.
• Your iPhone won’t charge wirelessly when connected to USB. If your iPhone is connected to your computer with USB, or if it’s connected to a USB power adapter, your iPhone will charge using the USB connection.

If your iPhone or iPod touch won’t charge

If your battery won’t charge or charges slowly, or if you see an alert message, learn what to do.

Plug into power

To charge your device, follow these steps:

1. Connect your device to the USB cable that comes with it.
2. Plug into one of these three power sources:

Wall power outlet

Plug your USB charging cable into a USB power adapter, then plug the adapter into the wall.

Computer

Plug your charging cable into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on a computer that’s on and not in sleep mode. Don’t use the USB ports on your keyboard.

Power accessory

Plug your cable into a powered USB hub, docking station, or other Apple-certified accessory.

If you’re trying to charge wirelessly with an iPhone 8 or later, first make sure that you can charge with the USB adapter and cable that came with your device. If that works, then get help with wireless charging. For a third-party accessory, check that it’s Apple certified.

As your device charges, you’ll see a lightning bolt beside the battery icon in the status bar, or a large battery icon on your Lock screen.

My device charges slowly or won’t charge

My device stopped charging at 80 percent

I see Accessory Not Supported or Certified

If your device charges slowly or won’t charge

Follow these steps and try again after each:

1. Check your charging cable and USB adapter for signs of damage, like breakage or bent prongs. Don’t use damaged accessories.
   
2. Use a wall power outlet and check for firm connections between your charging cable, USB wall adapter, and wall outlet or AC power cable, or try a different outlet.
3. Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device, then firmly plug your charging cable into your device. If the charging port is damaged, your device probably needs service.
   
4. Let your device charge for a half hour.
5. If your device is still unresponsive, force restart your device:
   • iPhone 8 or later and iPhone SE (2nd generation): Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
   • iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPod touch (7th generation): Press and hold both the Side (or Top) button and the Volume Down button until you see the Apple logo.
   • iPhone 6s or earlier, iPhone SE (1st generation), and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: Press and hold both the Side (or Top) button and the Home button until you see the Apple logo.
6. Let your device charge for another half hour.
7. If your device still won’t power on or charge, take your device, charging cable, and charging adapter to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for evaluation. You can also contact Apple Support.

If your device stopped charging at 80 percent

Your iPhone might get slightly warmer while it charges. To extend the lifespan of your battery, if the battery gets too warm, software might limit charging above 80 percent. Your iPhone will charge again when the temperature drops. Try moving your iPhone and charger to a cooler location.

iOS 13 and later uses Optimized Battery Charging to slow the rate of battery aging by reducing the time that your iPhone spends fully charged. Your iPhone uses on-device machine learning to understand your daily charging routine so that it can wait until you need to use your iPhone to finish charging past 80 percent.* Optimized Battery Charging is active only when your iPhone predicts that it will be connected to a charger for a long period of time.

* Information regarding your charging routine is stored only on your iPhone. The information isn’t included in backups and isn’t shared with Apple.

If an alert says that your accessory isn’t supported or certified

These alerts can appear for a few reasons: Your iOS device might have a dirty or damaged charging port, your charging accessory is defective, damaged, or non Apple-certified, or your USB charger isn’t designed to charge devices. Follow these steps:

1. Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device.
2. Restart your device:
   • iPhone
   • iPod touch
3. Try a different USB cable or charger.
4. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS.
5. Contact Apple Support to set up service.

No Charger in the Box? Everything You Need to Know About Charging the iPhone 12 and 13

The latest Apple iPhones don’t ship with a power adapter, but they do support Apple’s wireless MagSafe charging. Whether you use a cable or not, these are the fastest ways to charge the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13.

Starting with iPhone 12, Apple no longer includes power adapters in every box as it moves to reduce package waste (and make some cash on accessories). Its newest smartphones also include support for Apple’s magnetic MagSafe charging. Here’s what you need to know about charging your iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, and what you might need to purchase.

What Comes With the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13?

Every iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 comes with a USB-C-to-Lightning cable, and that’s pretty much it. So out of the box, those who don’t currently have any Apple power adapters will need a USB-C power adapter to charge the iPhone 12 and 13.

Plus, the newer iPhones ship without EarPods, so you’ll need to supply your own headphones to listen to music and podcasts. Apple sells its own AirPods wireless earbuds, but there are plenty of alternatives that won’t break the bank, not to mention our picks for best wireless headphones and those made with runners in mind.

As Apple explained during its iPhone 12 event last year, excluding the power adapter reduces the size of the box. This means 70% more devices can fit on a shipping pallet, which means more iPhone 12 devices can ship to users. Smaller boxes also allow Apple to reduce yearly carbon emissions by 2 million metric tons, it says.

How Do I Charge the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13?

Apple has not fully transitioned the iPhone to USB-C—which typically provides faster charging speeds—or removed ports altogether, so the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 still include the typical Lightning charge port. This means you can use an existing Lightning cable and traditional USB-A power adapter to charge both phones. With the included USB-C-to-Lightning cable, though, you can also plug your iPhone into your Mac laptop.

Additionally, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 are compatible with current Qi wireless charging pads. However, Apple’s main focus for charging the iPhone 12 and 13 is its built-in, fast charging MagSafe magnetic power connector.

What Is MagSafe?

For years, Apple used the term MagSafe to describe its computers’ charging cable connectors. Their magnetized tips “snapped” into the magnetized MacBook charging ports—and snapped out if disturbed so as not to bring a Mac laptop crashing to the floor, for example. They disappeared a few years ago as Apple transitioned the MacBook lineup to USB-C charging and data transfer, but returned this fall in the M1 Pro/M1 Max-based MacBooks as «MagSafe 3.»

Apple brings a similar technology to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineup in the form of a magnetized “hockey puck” disc that looks like a big Apple Watch charger and snaps to the rear of the phone. This MagSafe connector includes a USB-C cord that plugs into a power source and charges at 15W.

What’s the Fastest Way to Charge the iPhone 13?

Since iPhone 5, Apple has shipped its iPhones with a 5W USB power adapter in the box, with the exception of the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, which ship with an 18W USB-C power adapter. (Apple’s iPads also ship with 10W or 12W USB or 18W or 20W USB-C power adapters, depending on the model.) So unless the iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 is your first Apple device, you probably have one of them lying around.
