What we like
- Full Qi2.2 25W magnetic charging — the new ceiling for iPhone 17
- Folds flat into a travel-friendly puck
- 45W USB-C adapter included in the box
- Dedicated 5W pad for AirPods or a second device
- Works in StandBy mode when folded open
Could be better
- $100 is steep for a 2-in-1 pad
- 25W speeds only matter for iPhone 15 Pro and newer
- Secondary pad is capped at 5W — slow for larger earbud cases
Full Review
Belkin’s UltraCharge 2-in-1 is one of the first Qi2.2 chargers to actually deliver the full 25W spec, and it does it in a hinged form factor that folds flat for a backpack pocket. If you’ve been waiting for a magnetic charger that doesn’t bottleneck a new iPhone, this is the obvious pick.
Charging Speed
Qi2.2 raises the wireless ceiling from 15W to 25W, and Belkin hits the full number here. Belkin claims 0-50% in 29 minutes on a compatible iPhone, which lines up with what wired 20W charging used to feel like. The catch — and it’s a big one — is that only iPhone 15 Pro, 16, and 17 series devices can pull more than 15W wirelessly. If you’re on an older iPhone or a non-Apple Qi device, you’re capped at 15W regardless of what the brick can deliver.
The secondary pad runs at 5W, which is fine for AirPods or a pair of true wireless earbuds but too slow for anything with a larger battery.
Build and Travel Use
The fold is the headline feature. Closed, it’s roughly the footprint of a deck of cards; open, the magnetic pad tilts up to support StandBy mode while the AirPods pad lies flat. Belkin made the housing from at least 85% post-consumer recycled plastic, and the packaging is plastic-free.
The included 45W USB-C adapter is the unsung hero. Most premium magnetic chargers ship without a brick, leaving you to source a 30W+ adapter on your own. Belkin throwing one in justifies a chunk of the $100 price tag.
How It Compares
If you don’t have an iPhone that supports Qi2.2’s 25W mode, save $40 and get a standard Qi2 15W pad — you literally cannot charge faster. If you also need to charge an Apple Watch, look at Belkin’s 3-in-1 BoostCharge Pro instead. And if you want pure desk furniture rather than travel gear, a non-folding stand will feel sturdier.
Who Should Buy This
Buy this if you have an iPhone 15 Pro, 16, or 17 and you travel often enough that “folds flat” matters. The 25W speeds are a real upgrade, the included brick saves you a separate purchase, and the dual-device design covers AirPods without a second cable. Skip it if you’re on an older iPhone — you’re paying a premium for charging headroom your phone can’t use.
