MagSafe vs. Wireless Charging: What’s the Difference?Updated 2 months ago

MagSafe is Apple’s advanced version of wireless charging, designed for iPhones. It uses built-in magnets to perfectly align your device with the charger, ensuring faster and more efficient charging. Standard wireless charging, on the other hand, works with any Qi-compatible device but may not align as precisely or charge as quickly.

Key differences:

• MagSafe: Uses magnets for perfect alignment, providing up to 15W fast charging for iPhones.

• Wireless Charging: Works with all Qi-enabled devices but may charge slower and require better placement.

• Compatibility: MagSafe is available for iPhone 12 and newer models, while Qi wireless charging is universal.
