Macworld Confirms 25W Magnetic Charging on Baseus PicoGo as Retail Deals Reshape the Market

Only iPhone 16 and 17 models running iOS 26 can tap the top wireless speed.

Overview

  • Macworld Labs measured the Baseus PicoGo (AM61) at 32 minutes for a 0–50% wireless charge, matching Ugreen’s 25W unit and beating typical 15W times of about 45 minutes.
  • The PicoGo pairs 25W magnetic wireless charging with a 10,000mAh battery, a built‑in 45W USB‑C cable, and an additional 45W USB‑C port for faster wired top‑ups.
  • In battery endurance testing, the PicoGo refueled an iPhone 16 Pro from 0% to 100% and then to 67% on a second cycle, outpacing Ugreen’s 25W rival but trailing several 15W capacity leaders.
  • Macworld lists the AM61 at $69.99 and notes availability in the U.S. and Europe, with no U.K. listing.
  • Retailers are discounting other Baseus 10,000mAh models, including a Picogo with up to 45W wired output for $24.69 at PCWorld and a separate 15W Qi2 magnetic version for about $20 at 9to5Toys.
