Agreed on the heat — I've been through three of these and they bake the battery. Tried Belkin years ago and it was garbage, but their Belkin BoostCharge Pro Qi2 15W runs pretty cool.

Late to the party but honestly this comes up a lot on here. If you spent all your cash on the phone and want to save some money, you lowkey dont need to buy Apples overpriced stuff. Search the forum and youll see tons of threads about this. My recommendation for a budget setup is the Ugreen Nexode Magnetic Wireless Charger 15W. It gives you the full 15W speed because its Qi2 certified, but it costs like HALF the price of the official Apple one. Ive been using it for months and it works perfectly. Just make sure you pair it with a decent 20W USB-C brick you probably already have lying around... saved me a bunch of cash tbh.

Everyone recommends the official Apple MagSafe Charger or cheap Qi2 pads, but they run extremely hot. Heat is the main enemy of your iPhone 15 Pro Max battery health. Since you just replaced a phone with a degraded battery, do not buy a standard uncooled magnetic charger. Look for options with active cooling. The ESR 3-in-1 Charging Station with CryoBoost is one of the few that keeps the phone cool while charging at the full 15W. It uses a built-in fan to dissipate heat from the back of the phone. Otherwise, just stick to the USB-C cable that came in the box. Wired charging is faster, generates less heat, and costs nothing.

Ngl you should just get the Anker MagGo Wireless Charger Pad Qi2 because Qi2 is literally the exact same charging speed as Apple MagSafe but WAY cheaper. You dont need to overthink the tech specs tbh, just plug it into a decent 20W wall adapter and it will fast charge your 15 Pro Max safely without overheating it. If you want a stand for your nightstand instead of a flat pad, grab the Anker MagGo Magnetic Charging Station Qi2 3-in-1...
