New iPhone? Smarter Setup.

The Best Accessories for Your New iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max

New iPhone, new possibilities. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max have landed – faster, smarter and more capable than ever, with Apple’s biggest charging upgrade in years. But a great new phone is only as good as what you pair it with. Here’s how to charge it faster, connect it properly, and make sure you never run out of space for what you capture.

iPhone 18 Pro Charging Specs, at a Glance

  • Wired fast charging: up to 50% charge in around 15 minutes, using a 60W-capable (or higher) power adapter with USB PD 3.1 Adjustable Voltage Supply (AVS), paired with a USB-C cable
  • MagSafe wireless charging: up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes, using a 35W (or higher) power adapter paired with a MagSafe Charger
  • Qi2 wireless charging: supports up to 25W wireless charging via compatible Qi2 and MagSafe accessories

Neither model ships with a power adapter in the box, so getting the fastest charging speeds your iPhone 18 Pro is capable of comes down to choosing the right accessories.

Charge Faster

A new phone is the perfect excuse to retire that old single-port brick. The 65W Mini GaN Charger with Display delivers up to 65W across its USB-C ports with PD 3.0 (PPS) fast-charging, so you can charge your iPhone 18 Pro and AirPods from one compact plug, with a live display showing real-time wattage and charging status across all three ports. GaN technology means it runs cooler and packs more power into a smaller footprint than traditional chargers, and it ships with interchangeable AU, EU, UK and US plugs for travel. Safety is built in throughout, with overcurrent, overvoltage, over-temperature and short-circuit protection housed in a fireproof PC casing.

Worth knowing: Apple’s fastest-possible 15-minute charge time specifically requires an adapter with USB PD 3.1 Adjustable Voltage Supply (AVS), which this model doesn’t include – but you’ll still get fast, high-wattage charging across all your devices from a single charger.

Never Run Out of Storage

Shooting on the iPhone 18 Pro’s cameras fills storage fast, especially at 4K ProRes. The SnapBack Ultra Slim SSD solves that with a magnetic mount that snaps straight onto your phone for instant, cable-free capture. At just 5mm thick, it delivers read speeds of up to 2050MB/s and write speeds up to 1900MB/s — fast enough for uninterrupted 4K ProRes recording at 120fps. It’s available in 512GB, 1TB and 2TB, so you can match capacity to how much you shoot

Connect with Ease

If your iPhone 18 Pro is staying wired for now, the Sync & Charge USB-C to USB-C 100W Magnetic Cable supports up to 100W PD fast charging and coils away magnetically, so it never tangles in a bag or desk drawer. It’s available in Black and Grey, in 120cm and 200cm lengths, making it an easy match for desk, travel or car use.

Stay Charged in the Car

For daily driving, the Charge ‘n’ Drive Magnetic Wireless Car Charger uses Qi2 magnetic alignment to charge at up to 15W, with an ice-cooling system to keep charging speeds consistent on hot days. Sixteen NdFeB magnets hold your phone securely through corners and bumps, and flexible mounting (vent, dashboard or windscreen) means it fits most cars. Built-in protections cover over-current, over-voltage, over-temperature, short-circuit and foreign object detection.

Charge on the Move

The SnapQub Wireless Power Bank is built specifically around the new 25W Qi2.2 standard your iPhone 18 Pro now supports. It combines 25W Qi2.2 magnetic wireless charging with 45W USB-C PD fast charging, embedded dual charging cables so you can leave spares at home, and a real-time display showing battery and charging status. It’s built on semi-solid-state battery technology, designed to enhance safety, stability and durability, backed by a six-point protection system covering foreign object detection, overcurrent, short-circuit, overcharge, over-discharge and over-temperature protection.

FAQs

Wired, it reaches up to 50% in around 15 minutes with a 60W-capable adapter that supports USB PD 3.1 Adjustable Voltage Supply (AVS). Wirelessly via MagSafe, it reaches up to 50% in around 30 minutes with a 35W or higher adapter.

Yes. Both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max support Qi2 wireless charging up to 25W, alongside MagSafe.

Original Qi2 tops out at 15W. Qi2 25W keeps the same magnetic alignment system but increases maximum wireless output to 25W, enabling noticeably faster top-ups.

Yes – Qi2 was built on MagSafe’s magnetic alignment system, so MagSafe-compatible accessories generally work across both standards, though actual charging speed depends on the specific charger and cable.

It depends on how much you shoot, but ProRes files are large – an external SSD like the SnapBack Ultra Slim SSD gives you a fast way to offload footage without filling your phone’s internal storage.
