The Gatatol M43 arrives with the part most magnetic chargers leave out: a 30W PD wall adapter. Pair that with the five-foot braided USB-C cable, and you have a travel kit that does not send you hunting for a brick before the first charge. At 70 grams, the pad itself is light enough to live in a backpack pocket.
The 25W Qi2.2 rating is the reason to choose this one for a newer iPhone. It is also the number to read carefully: the 25W ceiling applies to iPhone 16, 17, 18, and Air models, while iPhone 15 and older top out at 15W. We like that the M43 still makes sense on those phones as a well-equipped 15W pad, but the fastest charging is reserved for the newest handsets.
Magnetic alignment is handled by a ring of N52 magnets, and the pad is designed for bare phones or cases up to 3 mm thick. That is the first thing to check if you use a wallet case or a thick rugged shell. We paid attention to heat because 25W pads have less margin for a blocked airflow path; keep this one on an open nightstand rather than under a pillow or blanket.
The M43 is the simplest way to get fast, adapter-included charging in one small package. A single-pad design is the point: it is the charger to grab for a trip or a spare outlet, not the dock that also powers a watch. If you want one charger to cover your phone and your bedside table, this is the one we hand to most people first.
Pros
- 30W PD adapter included
- 25W Qi2.2 charging for newer iPhones
- Five-foot braided cable and 70 g body
- Strong N52 magnetic alignment
Cons
- Only a 12-month warranty
We recommend the Gatatol M43 for newer iPhones: it pairs 25W Qi2.2 charging with a 30W adapter and a braided five-foot cable in one travel-friendly package.
