Update 3/20: This deal is now live once again.

Apple unleashed the world’s fastest MagSafe charger last fall alongside the iPhone 16 – its latest 2nd-gen puck-style MagSafe charger is capable of delivering 25W of juice to iPhone 16, and iPhone 16 alone. It is otherwise very similar to the 1st gen model we have on sale here today – you can score one for $14.99, two for $27.99, or three for $39.99, all with free shipping for Prime members (A $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise).
