Oh I get the benefit of MagSafe over Qi. I don’t understand and the benefit of MagSafe over a cable. Sure you can plop an iPhone down on a charging mat if you like, but if I plug my iPhone into a cable I can use it while it charges. It’s fine for people to use whatever they like. I guess I’ve never understood my friend’s wide-eyed enthusiasm for such a simple feature.the advantage of MagSafe is that it aligns the coils as "perfect" as possible, thus being more efficient than Qi.
Wireless charging in general is about convenience ...
as I said in my earlier post, pure convenience.Oh I get the benefit of MagSafe over Qi. I don’t understand and the benefit of MagSafe over a cable.

First, at night, pitch black room, you are 90% asleep, with MagSafe you simply hover your phone until the magnet snaps and then you go to sleep. One hand operation, no shoulder-twisting calisthenics, no fumbling around for a tiny little port.I guess I’ve never understood my friend’s wide-eyed enthusiasm for such a simple feature.
Same - Always cable charger for meI’m hesitant to use wireless charging because of faster battery degradation, so I’ve been charging with a cable at 20w.
I use a non MagSafe wireless charger from Belkin that I got for my iPhone X and now use with my 12 Pro
I got my Belkin when I got my iPhone X so it was before MagSafe. It gets a bit warm when charging but I wouldn’t consider it hot or overheatingSeems like those from Belkin might be the only Made for Magsafe? Others say the Apple tries to be smart in preventing overheating and other. Some mention the Belkin gets warm yet maybe Apple too. Maybe Apple is better maybe they're both ok and better then others that seem merely Qi with magnets for MagSafe.
This sounds good to me. To be honest, my last phone was at 97% after a year using the cable exclusively so MagSafe doesn’t seem to make much of a difference if any.At night: MagSafe. On the road: cable. Degradation statistic: 97% after one year, 93% after two years. I don’t worry about it at all. I’ve played with the 80% max setting in my new 15 PM, but stopped it. It forced me to charge early in the evening as the battery was dropping below 20% around 8pm, which annoyed me too much…😅
Pretty much the perfect post👌🏻. I agree with everything you said - nailed it.Batteries age regardless of use and battery life will go down within a couple years anyways. Just give Apple the hundred bucks when the phone doesn't last long enough and charge wirelessly if that's convenient for you. It is for me and I don't spend a grand on a flagship device so I can worry about the battery. Tech is supposed to make our lives simpler and I expect it to just work with all advertised features.
If you have a SE which doesn't have great battery life to begin with and you don't want to spend the money on a new battery then fair enough, but especially with the SE wireless charging is extra convenient since you can go through 2-3 battery charges every single day and just placing it down on the pad is so much simpler than connecting the cable each time.
Finally, there is simply no proof that not charging wirelessly will really preserve your iPhone's battery health. You might have gotten an exceptionally good quality battery from the factory, or an average one, or one that just barely passed QC. There is a whole thread here about iPhone 14 Pro users finding out their batteries are degrading much quicker than expected for no good reason. Battery health comes down to luck (varying manufacturing quality).
I've come here to find out what people think about Magsafe charging so I don't have any special knowledge, but the Watch only charges by Magsafe so logically it's designed to not be a problem.Where is this evidence?
The evidence seems to indicate that it either wasn’t considered, or it was deliberately ignored. Gotta sell those accessories after all.
Furthermore, the oh-so-green Apple seems to be forgetting that wireless charging is only half as efficient as cable charging. If every phone on earth charges wirelessly, that’s one heck of an increase in electricity consumption.
But hey, gotta sell those accessories.
That sparks an idea and throw in dryer as well?i got a bit of blue ink on the usb charger woven cord is there a way to make it disappear? i used soap and water/paper towel to clear it but wouldnt get off.
