Car charger for magsafe AND older iPhone (so both USB-C and older USB)

[rjalex]

Dear friends,
I have bought a Spigen Magsafe charger for the car which has a builtin USB-C cord.
My wife still has an older iPhone and loads of USB-A to Lighting cables.

I am looking for a good cigarette socket car charger with both a USB-C and a USB-A sockets. I am finding some but cannot understand if their power and "charging standards" are the right ones for my chargers/phones.

This is an example from Spigen https://www.amazon.it/Spigen-Steadi...t=&hvlocphy=1008736&hvtargid=pla-883143970797

Another one from Anker https://www.amazon.it/Caricabatteri...c+magsafe&qid=1633423748&s=electronics&sr=1-1

In particular all those PD, IQ, QC, IP and other charging standards are very confusing to me and I'm not able to choose between different models/brands.

What standard should I look to for the Magsafe charger for my iPhone 13 Pro max? And what would work best for the older 8 Plus?

PS With my older charger+USB-A to lightning cable, the old iPhone 8 with Waze on for several hours AT BEST kept the charge but more often slowly discharged

I think Spigen only does 7.5W so either of those will do.

something about the magsafe certifications, only this year belkins 3-1 and 2-1 home stands officially do 15W output. It doesnt appear this has transferred to their car chargers as those are limited to 10W, with the same statement about certifications.

Thanks for the clarification. So if I understand I now have the Spigen car charger that could deliver 18W on its USB-C port but the OneTap Magsafe charger will only "pass" those 7.5 to the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Did I get this right?

Yes, the charger can charge up to that watt but the mount itself is only 7.5W.
