Apple has resurrected the MagSafe name for a new line of chargers and cases designed to snap onto the backs of the new iPhone 12 series
MagSafe is back with Apple, as a new line of iPhone accessories, most notably its own new MagSafe charging pad and MagSafe Duo foldable charger for iPhone and Apple Watch. The newly announced iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max all feature magnets on the rear to help align compatible wireless chargers, but these can also be used as mounting points for other accessories such as cases. Third-party brands including Belkin will also soon unveil their own MagSafe accessories including charging docks and car adapters. The use of magnets will allow iPhone users to snap their phones into the optimal position for charging, which can help prevent losses in efficiency and charging speed due to misalignment. The new MagSafe chargers are Qi standard compliant and deliver up to 15W, so will work with other Qi devices regardless of magnetic alignment.
