I want to buy a stand for my 14 Pro Max and maybe 15 Pro Max that will let me use the Mag Safe magnet to mount it horizontally while charging wirelessly.

1. Most of the chargers I find indicate they charge at 7.5w. Is charging at 7.5 very slow?
2. The stands I see that charge with MagSafe indicate that they charge up to 15W. What does it mean to charge up to and not at 15W?
3. If a stand indicates it is a MagSafe stand does that mean it also charges at 15W or can it mean that it just has the magnet to mount? Some chargers I am having a hard time finding the actual speed.

I was looking at this one so I can also charge my watch and AirPods. Anyone know anything about it?

7.5watt isn’t super fast. 15watt is faster but isn’t as fast as 20watt using a cable. Does it matter if the phone is being charged over night? No. And you can always plug the phone in if you quickly want to top up juice.

15w chargers will charge up to that heat. The speed at which the phone charges will be slower if the battery is getting too warm.
