Portable MagSafe charger & adapters for iPhone/Watch travel

Hi, I’m possibly travelling overseas to Europe and UK next year possibly including Italy and Switzerland. I want a portable mag charger that I can use to top up my iPhone 16 or an Apple Watch. What are the best ones on the market to use that can be bought in Australia? I would also need the cables and the power adapters to suit those countries. Has anyone got any suggestions please? There’s so many on the market. I don’t know which to choose. That will be reliable and sturdy but compact thank you.

For your Apple iPhone and Apple Watch, consider using Apple's own USB-C MagSafe chargers (which you may already have) with any suitable USB-C Power Adapter or PowerBank. Ideally, the USB-C power source will be rated at 25W or greater.

Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable (1 m) - Apple


All Apple iPad USB power adapters are designed for use internationally with power sources rated to provide 100V AC to 240V AC at 50Hz to 60Hz.  Apple iPad USB power adapters also comply with the IEC/UL 60950-1 and IEC/UL 62368-1 standards for use with power sources rated to provide 115V AC at 400Hz (typically found onboard commercial airlines).


While your Apple Power Adapter will be fully usable when travelling internationally, automatically accommodating any differences in AC supply voltage, you may require a simple pin-adapter to allow the Power Adapter to be used with AC power outlets in different countries. For example, a US flat 2-pin connector or Australian 2/3 pin connector will require an adapter for the standard UK 3-pin square socket or European 2-pin socket.


Travel adapters are readily available from AirPorts - and online retailers such as Amazon. By example, from Amazon:

Using a simple travel adapter with your existing Apple charging accessories (or third party alternatives if they support multiple supply voltages) is likely to be significant more cost effective and flexible than purchasing country-specific Power Adapters within the countries that you may visit. Many good quality travel adapters are designed to be usable in many different countries.

Amazon has many options for travel MagSafe Chargers. Best is subjective. Brands I think are higher quality are Anker and Belkin, just to name two.
