MagSafe: Everything About Apple’s New iPhone 12 Charging Technology

One unfortunate similarity between Apple’s iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro is the phone’s battery life. They provide passable battery life, yet represent one step back from 2019’s iPhones. typically achieve about 4.5 hours of usage for each full charge on a mix of 5G, 4G, as well as WiFi. Now, that only represents a full day of usage, with a small buffer. In comparison, I could get about a day’s usage from Apple’s iPhone 11 and also from the iPhone XR. Having a full day’s usage is doable, yet this would have been more reassuring to have a larger safety net especially on those days where there is a lot usage.
Speaking of charging, the company, Apple has made an interesting decision to stop bundling power adaptors and earbuds with phones for environmental concerns. All you’ll find in the box, other than your iPhone – is a USB Type C to Lightning cable. Some don’t think it’s a deal breaker. EarPods are awful, & a lot of us will have a power adaptor already. The only tricky thing is the choice of cable. You will require a adaptor that has a USB C port to use the cord and if you are coming from the iPhone 11 Pro, the iPhone charger will use a USB A connector.
You can use an older charger, but you will not see the the fast charging speeds the iPhone 12 can provide. If you desire to buy a USB-C power brick, you will be outlaying $39.99 to purchase one of these.

It Is Reffered To As MagSafe As It Makes Use Of Magnets

Of course, Apple now has a convenient new wireless charging system: . This system consists of a circular shaped wireless charger that uses magnets to connect to the rear of the MagSafe compatible iPhone. This provides optimal alignment to have the fastest wireless charge, it means you are able to use use the iPhone as it’s charging and you just cannot do with a non MagSafe wireless charger. You’ll still be able to have a faster top up with a traditional charger, but MagSafe is able to charge the iPhone 12 from zero to 40% over about half an hour.
Because it is Apple purchasing MagSafe is going to cost you. You’ll have to spend $64.99 for the charger itself, and $28.99 should you need to buy the USB-C brick. If you want to have the magnets to snap to your case or cover, you will also need a MagSafe case. Your MagSafe charger can charge through most cases, it will not stick to it. Apple’s MagSafe cases and covers are priced from $80.
Yes there are aspects of MagSafe that are for magSafe devices only but, it will operate as a normal wireless charger that operates with any device that uses wireless charging. The charge time is a bit slower, however as quick. Presently, MagSafe is a fun and convenient charger, but I’m interested to see where the system will lead to.
While the majority of people do not have a MagSafe charger at home, there sure is a lot of potential for accessories such as car mounts where MagSafe will genuinely save time.
