I’ve had everyiPhonesince the 2001 original, and chargers have been a constant thorn in my side ever since – especially in the car, where the choice tends to be a huge suction cup on the windscreen that falls off when you hit a bump or a vent-mount one that blocks the air on a hot day and drops your phone when you hit a pothole. So you can trust me when I say that finding thebest car chargerearlier this year was a very happy day for me.
Unlike every otheriPhonecar charger I’ve ever owned, this one has never fallen off or let my iPhone fall out. It wasn’t cheap – I paid about £40 – but this is my forever charger now. So I’m delighted to see that ESR is bringing essentially the same charger to my desk, where it can charge iPhones andAirPodsalike.

The MagSafe charger that’s faster than Apple’s
If you don’t already have a MagSafe charging case ESR will happily sell you one too; I’ve got anAppleone, although I’m not sure I’d recommend it: it hasn’t lasted as well as my previous Apple iPhone cases despite the typically Apple price.
The unique selling point here is what ESR calls CryoBoost technology, which cools your phone while it’s charging to deliver faster charging speeds. It’s a combination of a small fan and a heatsink. When you connect it to an 18W or better power adapter it’ll charge faster than Apple’s MagSafe, even if you’re using the phone for something demanding at the same time.
I think I’m going to get this one. The car version is brilliant and I’m way overdue investing in a decent desktop charger for my phone and various earbuds. Like the car charger it isn’t the cheapest option – it’s $59 in the US and £41.99 here, and you need to provide your own power adapter – but it looks like it’s the bestwireless iPhone chargerfor me.
