Other MagSafe or cable? How do you charge your iPhone?

[dragon4ever]

I’m hesitant to use wireless charging because of faster battery degradation, so I’ve been charging with a cable at 20w.

 

[Apple_Robert]

I use MagSafe.

 

[LongBall14]

I use cable charging at 5 watts!

 

[Abazigal]

Magsafe every night, and I will just have the battery replaced when its health dips too low.

 

[Shirasaki]

Cable all the way. MagSafe in essence is just a different form of cable charging, so might as well use the cable anyway.

If I walk into a room, the phone starts to recharge itself, without me to put it on charging pad or plug any wire, then I’ll not charge through cable.

 

[ISKOTB]

I use cable charging at 5 watts!

same here for about 3y now

 

[techiegirl]

I used MagSafe on a 14 pro. After a year, battery is at 98%. I’ll be using the MagSafe again for the 15.

 

[SirManic]

MagSafe at home. Cable charging only in car.

 

[svish]

MagSafe on most occasions. Very rarely use the cable.

 

[HuNay]

Cable only either at 15W or 27W, and yes I hold it right up to my tower fan just so it charges faster whenever I really need it to

Qi wireless charging dock at my office desk most of the time. It works fine so I don't feel the need to get a new MagSafe dock.

When I'm at home, whichever charger/cable combo is closest.

 

[BuggyGT]

Always cable at maximum 27W.

 

[Macalicious2011]

The standby feature got me converted to MagSafe.

Prior to that I never considered wireless charging. My GF got MagSafe envy and recently purchased a magsafe case for her SE2020!

 

[Flamingdeathbolts]

Depends where I am at when my phone dips below 20%. Have a MagSafe in the bedroom, cable in the living room, and cable in the vehicle.

 

[JPack]

Cable purist. If my phone's wireless coil is busted, I wouldn't even know.

 

[AlixSPQR]

I have used MagSafe with my 13 mini for more than a year now, first couple of months with a cable. The battery is 98 percent healthy. I avoid charging fully, normally to just above 80 percent.

 

[Mikeske]

I do not have a MagSafe charger so it is cable on a 20 watt charger for my 15 Pro. I just do not see the need to use the MagSafe as it is redundant. If I need a charge and I am at the neighbors place I will place my phone on his MagSafe for a short volt or is that jolt but otherwise never used wireless charging.

 

[philstubbington]

Depends where I am. MagSafe at home, wired in the car and in the office.

MagSafe only and just use the device. This is 2023, IMO let iOS deal with the charging management and battery health.

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

MagSafe, and I haven’t looked back. I use cable mainly when I’m travelling as I can use it for multiple devices.

Though I will say that with USB-C, I have been using the cable to charge more often because we have more USB-C devices in the house.

 

[ATmahe]

When I‘m at home I use the Apple MagSafe puck with a 20 W Anker Nano 2 over night.

During the day or on the road either a MagSafe battery pack (not Apple, Baseus) or USB-C.

 

[Zest28]

I charge with MagSafe on a vertical stand. It is basically a dock and the iPhone can still be used while charging this way.

Whatever battery hit I might get, it's worth it for the superior experience. Battery replacement is only $99 in the end.

 

[Wokis]

Usually 5W wireless charging at night. My phone doesn't have the magnets.

I did have 83% capacity after three and a half years of use. Bought a new battery. Undramatic.

 

[aldo82]

I use MagSafe every night and have done ever since it was released. Prior to that I never liked wireless charging so apple managed to win me over with the magnets guaranteeing a proper fit

 

[Rnd-chars]

MagSafe Duo for my Watch, AirPods Pro 2 and iPhone. I’ve only plugged my iPhone in a handful of times over the years when I’ve needed more energy than MagSafe delivers.
