MagSafe Monday: LISEN’s new desk charger brings 25-watt MagSafe charging with a built-in cooling fan

Published: Feb 2nd 2026 9:56am on 9to5Mac

As induction coils transfer energy, they generate waste heat, which causes your iPhone to throttle its charging speeds if it gets too hot to protect the battery. You especially see this in the outdoors during the summer. LISEN is attempting to fix the normal thermal bottleneck with its new 3-in-1 MagSafe station. By adding an active cooling fan and the Qi2.2, LISEN claims it can sustain 25-watt charging speeds that really does wired charging. This is my current daily driver on my desk, and I really like it thus far.
