If you're somebody who talks on the phone while you're driving or uses your iPhone for navigation, it's a good idea to get a car mount. It allows you to see your phone while also keeping two hands on the wheel. If you have any iPhone 12 or newer — including the newest iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro — you can also take advantage of its MagSafe, which allows the iPhone to magnetically stick to a compatible car mount. We've rounded up all the best MagSafe-compatible car mounts that can magnetically hold your iPhone in place while you drive.

What to Look for

Charging: Not every MagSafe car mount will charge your iPhone. In fact, most won't. If you want a mount that will also charge your iPhone, you're likely going to have to pay a little extra.

Type of mount: Most MagSafe car mounts will give you options as to how it gets placed in your car. Most will have attachments for your car's air vents or CD player. Some will have suction cups to attach to your car's windshield or dashboard.

Size: MagSafe car mounts come in all different shapes and sizes. Generally, most people prefer a smaller option as it takes up less space on their dashboard or windshield. A larger MagSafe car mount has more chance of getting in the way or your car's navigation system.

Price: Depending on the three factors above — size, type and charging ability — that's going to play a big role in the end price of the MagSafe car mount. If it's able to charge your iPhone (rather than just hold), that's going to cause the most significant price increase as it's likely going to come with extra cables and adapters.

How We Tested
tech roundup

We've been writing about and reviewing Apple's iPhones, iPads and Mac lines for near-on a decade, as well as all the peripherals that work with those devices. We also work with major brands and talk to experts within the tech and audio industries. The below selections of MagSafe car mounts are a combination of products that we've had hands-on experience with as well as products that are made by brands that we trust.

Belkin BoostCharge Magnetic Wireless Car Charger
Beklin
$40 AT AMAZON

  • Will charge your iPhone
  • Affordable
  • Adjustable positioning

This is a new and redesigned version of Belkin's previous MagSafe car mount. It has a slimmer profile and comes in black to better match your car's interior. The other big difference is that it has a built-in USB-C port so if paired with a charging cable (not included), it functions as a true MagSafe charger.

Read our review of the Belkin BoostCharge, here.

Belkin Magsafe Car Vent Mount Pro
Belkin
$40 AT AMAZON

  • Affordable
  • Adjustable positioning

  • Will not charge your iPhone

This car mount is fully compatible with MagSafe — Apple even sells it. It attaches to a car vent and, thanks to its rotating ball joint, you can adjust the positioning of your iPhone.

Note: This doesn't charge your iPhone via MagSafe, so you'll want to have a Lightning cable in your car, too.

Mophie Snap Vent Mount
Mophie
Now 50% off
$15 AT ZAGG

  • Affordable
  • Very small

  • Will not charge your iPhone

The Snap Vent mount is not a wireless charger. It simply attaches to your car vent and magnetically holds your iPhone 12 in place. It comes with a magnetic adhesive (called a Snap Adapter) that you can attach to the back of an older iPhone (that doesn't have MagSafe) so that it will magnetically stick to the mount.

Spigen
Spigen MagFit Car Mount
Spigen
$20 AT AMAZON

  • Affordable
  • Very small

  • Will not charge your iPhone on its own
  • Must purchase MagSafe Charger separately

Spigen's car mount works with Apple's MagSafe charger (which requires a USB-C car charger) and clips to your car's air vent. It's available in white or black.

Peak Design Car Mount
Peak Design

$14 AT AMAZON

  • Affordable
