One major benefit of Magsafe vs wired charger: wired charging plugs can be finicky because they can get clocked with dust and gunk and then you can't charge your phone at all!

The wireless benefit is setting it down with ease, not picking it up since taking off a wire doesn’t require looking for a port or a wire.

Simple solution: just put double sided tape on it and stick it to your desk. That's what I did. Works great in my home office. I prefer the magsafe charger over other wireless chargers because it's faster and, as you said, the magnets ensure that it's always alligned correctly.

No matter what the charger, I’ve always thought the 3” cord length is a lame way to save a few cents. For all the money we spend on smartphones (again, iOS or other) anything under a 10” cord is an insulting slap in the face. I now buy my charging cords from my usual 3rd party but since Apple decided to stop sending the chargers with the device I’d like the option to have them keep their lame crappy 3” cord as well. Since they seem to think the wall wart is with $40 then give us the option to get just the device and drop $60 off the price. I could then use that money to buy my 10” cord and wall wart while still pocketing the remaining $20. Fair is fair .

1. Third party longer cables are available at very competitive prices. 2. It’s not true that third party power bricks only charge at 10W. Anker’s Nano 20W charging brick actually has a throughput of 16W, which is faster and cheaper than Apple’s own equivalent one. As long as the brick supports Power Delivery 3.0 it will provide power at the advertised speed. 3. No wireless chargers are designed to be hand held, so taking a dig at Apple for that leads me to believe that you created this video with the intention to discredit the product, instead of presenting an accurate and unbiased review. 4. This product claims to wirelessly charge MagSafe compatible iPhones at 15W, and it does what it says on the box. So I say you should 100% buy it if you need it.

I use mine just like I would use a normal charging cable. but being a wireless charger means i can move the cord while holding the phone to keep it out of the way and I don't kill my battery. its also very easy to remove with one hand...

[@Bluestomiv]

some of these complaints are the most nitpickiest I've ever seen. The most reasonable complaints you had were the price and the fact that it doesn't come with a charging brick.

[@fccc3379]

Despite being more costly, I actually like using magsafe charger on my iphone. It saves the normal wear and tear on the lightning port that comes from plugging and unplugging the lightning cable on a daily basis, and I wouldn't be surprised if Apple one day decides to eliminate the lightning port on future iphones. Complaining about having to use two hands to disconnect the magsafe charger from your phone is really just petty nitpicky complaint. Not to mention the fact that you can always get a longer cable if the 3ft cable is too short.

[@AlexKittredge]

You can't replace the cable.

[@farodopi5170]

it only comes in 1m version so you can eventually buy an extension cord for your adapter but that’s it. a dock station. is a wary better option to me. this si just a cable. no difference with a lightning cable for me. i never wore any of my iphone port. While the magsafe does really wear the cases if you are not careful. I am a happy owner of a 2-in-1 Wireless Charger Stand with MagSafe 15W you can detach with one hand by simply twisting a bit your phone when you take it. charges your airpod at the same time. cable is long enough and included. you can charge horizontally or vertically for video watching or video calls. that’s for me a good usage of the magsafe feature of the iphone. together with the walled and magsafe battery pack. but most of all it’s super clean and fancy on your desk. your iphone is literally floating in air with this charger and it’s super reachablke. so nice

Does the magnet only work on iPhones or is it just as strong on other phones?

[@nicholasrobinson6353]

@@aigoated I believe that the magnets only work on the iPhone 12 and 13 models. You can use the magsafe charger as a wireless charger for other phones that use the Qi wireless standard. Although, I tried it with my iPhone 11 before I got my 13 and it didn’t work that well. I hope this helps! :)

[@aigoated]

@@nicholasrobinson6353 thank you! I also figured out that you can buy a magnetic adhesive that attaches to any phone to make it work. However the only problem is heat if you have a wireless charger that heats up easily.

Does any MagSafe device work through an otterbox? I’m not taking my case off every night either.

[@JerrySchulze]

otter box makes cases with MagSafe. otherwise may be weak charge if you can align it

[@yuDa398]

I agree. I don’t think there are actual benefits to this “wireless” charging pad over wired fast chargers if you need 2 hands to unplug it. But I’m really looking forward for the Belkin 3-in-1 Magsafe charger since I use AirPods and the Apple Watch. BTW great video

Wired fast charging degrades and damages batteries minimally twice as fast as wireless charging does. When you have a phone that easily lasts a full day as most iPhones do it’s pretty pointless.

Which charger should I buy, to preserve my battery, I have a 13 pro max ?

The slower you charge the better for your battery. Use the old 5w charger for best battery performance. But if you need it to charge faster you will need something else.

[@kevinkoffi5164]

[@JerrySchulze]

I agree

[@fidel2xl]

These items listed here are my very sentiments exactly regarding the MagSafe charger --- along with the fact that the charger does not work if you use certain cases on your device. I have the 12 Pro Max, and purchased a protective case with a 'pull-out ring' in the back that allows you to easily hold the phone etc. But my MagSafe does not work while that case is on the phone. Yes, I know there are some cases out there that are MagSafe compatible. However, in spite of these issues, I think the MagSafe does have potential, since you can use either an extension cord and solve the short-cord issue; and 3rd Party manufacturers may soon release 6-foot and 10-foot cord MagSafe chargers anyway, so I don't see that aspect as being a huge deal since it is easily solvable. Anyway, I'm not a fan of MagSafe for many of the reasons you listed....but I know the potential of the technology since it could also be applied to data transfer as well. I think it's a technology that simply isn't being used to its full potential just as yet. But if the MagSafe was able to work regardless of whatever protective-case is being used on the phone, it would be closer to phenomenal.

[@metube9541]

A bit confused, last week I went into the Apple store in Birmingham UK to buy a duo charger for my iphone 13 mini and watch. The 2 sales guys told me that I need a special case for the phone that has coils built in it. Are they talking crap, I thought I'd just be able to place the iphone 13mini on the charging pad. Appreciate any thoughts.

[@JerrySchulze]

Yes they are talking crap. The iPhone 13 mini has MagSafe built in. If you do want to use a case with that you will need a MagSafe compatible case.

[@metube9541]

I was thinking of getting a MagSafe charger for my room when I’m laying down it should be good there but this guy made excellent points it would suck if it’s your every day charger that u have in your bag to take every where in case your iPhone dies And buying multiple of these for your house or office would kind of suck if u always have to pull it off a regular wireless charger would be better then

[@JerrySchulze]

Good points. Thanks for the comment.

[@iriditium197]

The main problem for me is that the cable is only 3ft. Also, I spent 60 Aussie bucks on it, and they didn’t even include a power brick.

[@kylegarrity]

Lol. Standard Lightning cables are short too. A simple usb c extension cable solves this. And I can take it off with one hang easy. If you’re going to benefit from fast charging youll have a 20 watt adapter regardless, so your claim of this costing $60 is not accurate. All in all, poor review. Is the MagSafe charger necessary? No. Is it a cool $30 product to use with your iPhone 12 that frees up the lightning port? Definitely.

[@TheLegoJoker]

Complaining about needing two hands to remove the charger sounds like quite a stretch. Hardly a dealbreaker.

[@JerrySchulze]

My point is that the magnetic connection of this specific charger is not a benefit over lightning or Qi, simply for charging. I think stands with MagSafe will be a benefit.

[@NM_rocker]

I use the MagSafe charger and quickly developed the skill of removing it one handed. I can leave the charging puck on my desk and not fiddle with grabbing a cable, brick, and crawling under my desk.

[@getbuck7473]

@@JerrySchulze But the magsafe is a benefit over lightning. There's no way you can tell me that if you had to plug and unplug both of those 20 times in a row that they would both have seemed equally easy to do. Trying to line up the lightning cable into that tiny tiny port is definitely more tedious, especially in low lighting.

[@LL-fi4rr]

Claiming MagSafe is easier because you don't need to mess with plugging/unplugging is a stretch, too. That's his point. It's canceled out by the fact that it handles exactly the same as a Lightning cable when you're done using it.

[@TheLegoJoker]

@@LL-fi4rr Hardly. Handles the same “when you’re done using it.” Right, but hooks up when you start to use it way easier than lightning. The biggest appeal to me is that I use a regular wireless charger now and if I get the phone off center by just a bit, I don’t charge overnight. MagSafe eliminates that worry. I haven’t purchased it yet myself, but I most likely will soon. To me, the pros outweigh the cons. YMMV.

[@prabhleensingh798]

If you guys do not mind there is also a similar magsafe by anker which can charge at 7.5W but is 5 feet long and is able to work with any usb c adapter. It is also cheaper than apple and you can use anker nano which is a 20W adapter but with less price than apple.

[@SCraig-Handsome]

I am looking at buying this, there seems to be a lot of similar products as well, you have to buy the MagSafe cable separately but it makes it simple to remove. Also, 3-feet is the standard size for 2-reasons, it’s used for I/O to a computer, that’s what an iPhone is. 2nd, it’s for performance, longer cables are for things like printers that usually use batch processing. Also, the new Pro Max provides 28-hours of video playback, so I doubt many will need to game and charge at the same time.

Nothing is "true" unless Apple announces something. So far no solid rumors of that. MagSafe may be the future, as I said in this video, but this specific charging puck is not great. I Love my Belkin Boost Charge Pro with MagSafe.

[@Matt4jackson]

I dont think you get it. It is so easy. When I go to bed I just place my phone on my bedside table and it automatically aligns and charges well.

[@Matt4jackson]

It’s also really comfortable to use in bed whilst watching something as then the cable can come out any side

[@Matt4jackson]

And by the way your table analogy would be the same for any charger or wireless charger, I love the MagSafe charger it’s so small and convenient. You are so dumb you need 2 hand to take the charger off, just flick it to the side with your finger and it comes off easily. MagSafe is great to use in a car as well as you can use it as a mount. Love MagSafe! Buy it! It makes life just that little but easier and is a great gadget to play with
