So magsafe charging doesnt really charge faster in a car since apple wont make the adapter for car
Brother.. this review was comical. Either you suck really bad at reviews or you are absolutely GENIUS.
Hi, would you be interested in reviewing our ZEERA 5-in-1 Magsafe Charger Stand？Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers. info@zeerawireless.com
Your a clown
@@b3at2 he’s a clown
I feel like they made this product as a first step to dropping the charging port on the iphone. Like they dropped the headphone jack.
This is 100 percent what Apple is doing. It doesn’t feel very Apple-like to have a USB C port on the iPhone 13.
Hope Apple doesn’t drop it for IPhone 13. We aren’t at that stage where portless will work.
Obviously lmao
@@cityplanner3063 yeah we are
I think that would be a mistake on their part to force users to wireless data transfer only. Also would be a major negative hit to wired CarPlay vehicles but maybe they’d sell an official wireless adapter if they did that. That would be kinda nice.
I love how the biggest complaint in this video isn't something inherent in the wireless charging or magsafe design just literally Apple being dumb about something that could have very easily at basically no cost been made better (slightly longer or detachable cable)
@Mutombe Apple is too clever for us mere mortals to understand
You can actually push MagSafe to the side to disconnect it. You don’t need 2 hands at all.
I’m a year late and then few, but I really wanted to say thank you for including captions! A lot of tech reviewers don’t include captions, which is so weird and frustrating. I can hear just fine, but really feel that having captions make it easier for me to look out (literally) for the details I’m interested in. Thank you!
I try to add them with my scripted videos and sometimes I pay to have them added on others but I miss some now and then.
Actually, you CAN remove the charger by only ONE HAND: just hold it, use your index finger to push it from one side to the other, and once it is no longer in the center, it pops off!!
I just posted a similar comment. This method also saves some wear and tear on the cable for those who have been pulling on the cord to remove it.
And most important for me... Some how I always mess up the charging port on my phones. So with wireless charging that won’t happened.
I came to say the same thing.
I’ve always used one hand to remove it.. I have no idea what he is even talking about.
Yea I use one finger to remove myself. This video is just bullshit Apple hating.
OK, this started out OK, and then became ridiculous. I use mine at my desk with no issue. The cable could be longer, but it's no issue for me. If any of these weird issues affect you, don't get one - plenty of alternatives, but most of this is nonsense.
I can see both views
Planning on getting one of these to use as a car charger so that I can keep my aux cord plugged in. Kind of pricey but when you compare it to the price of traditional wireless car chargers that mount to vents or the dash, it evens out. I have had numerous issues with traditional wireless car chargers.
This is exactly why i want it. To charge and still be able to plug and play
why the f are you using aux over Bluetooth?
Went to Ross to look for the cheap counter item products, found a car phone mount. It even chargers your phone and works really well all for 12 bucks. Something cheap and simple would suit you better.
Sometimes u have to improvise! Get an extension cord. The charger allows you to orient the cord where you want it. The magnets’ keep charger attached to phone securely while moving phone. All in all a good setup for hands on during charging.
I love how your videos are so honest! I returned mine because the cable was way too short.
Very much appreciated!
Honestly the only reason why I’d invest in MagSafe at this point is for the Belkin charging stand. It would consolidate the two power bricks I plug into my outlet, and make a nice nightstand piece. I probably would seldom use the MagSafe puck on its own. Honestly a 30W brick and a decent Anker cable is the way to go!
Agree with all of that.
Fair points, but you can also use an extension cord for your power adapter. Also, if you use a multiport charger that connects to the outlet with a cord, it also solves the problem with having to be really close to an outlet. Good points about having to use both hands to remove it…magsafe seems to be better suited for stationary docks.
That's what I did, I bought a little cable extender and it works well with the charger.
To me the benefit is not having to use usb cord 3 of my iPhones charging port have gotten lose and stopped working. Also I have used wireless chargers before and it’s super annoying when you place it overnight and because it wasn’t in specific spot it didn’t charge.
The benefit I see is cable orientation for wired charging. I tend to set my phone upright on a table or my chest when I lay down, I can’t do that plugged into the lightning port.
Hey Jerry thanks for the video, I was looking up stuff about MagSafe charging and was curious if I was missing anything over the lightning to usb C since the case I bought isn't magsafe compatible. Anyway I picked up an Anker 33w dual port charger from walmart today, the usb c port is 18w and the usb a port is 15w. According to Apple support documentation, i should be good for fast charging. It says 18w and better, and it says third party chargers with usb power delivery, and the usb c port is marked with PD. I just upgraded 2 days ago to an iPhone 12 pro Max from a 7 plus. The other benefit I've already found with the Anker Charger is, it can also charge my iPad air 2 at the same time as the new phone, and I don't need to use the separate iPad charger now. So, i actually got more from Anker, than I would have from Apple for about the same price.
That is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video. I was considering trying the magsafe charger but you make some very valid points... enough to keep me from getting one. They should have made it with a usb c port, so you could change the length of the cord.
Sum valid points ?💀 you can’t be serious
Hiii! As a first time iphone user and having the iphone 13 pro, I'm so happy I came across your video!! I was actually planning to buy this (together with the power adapter brick and wire thingy for the earphones) cause I thought it would be convenient and whatnot, now I realize I dont even need it! Plus it would really save me more money! So THANK YOU!!! 🥰
Here’s one hack: I used 2-sided tape to tape it down on the table or whatever. Bam! don’t need two hands anymore.
This is what I'm planning on doing when I get the magsafe charger
Here is another hack: a mobile phone is called like that because you can take it with you , let’s say on vacation ... the charger would be a good idea to have it with you too... but hey, it’s “glued” to the table .... too bad
@@tudorstanciu6588 Two sided tape is different than glue duh 🙄 Who da hell glues their chargers to the table ? Pay attention 👍🏽
I’m so delighted to be poor. I don’t have the dilemma of making this purchase decision.
‘Mo money mo problems’
then why are you watching this....
@@kamalmostapha7222 entertainment
Must drag being a poor loser
@@JerrySchulze no*
The magsafe charger also leaves circle burn marks around the magnets or where the apple logo is. It also leaves burn marks on the apple leather case and silicone
The wireless benefit is setting it down with ease, not picking it up since taking off a wire doesn’t require looking for a port or a wire. I don’t think that’s a big that you need two hands to unplug. Instead, it’s a feature because you can use your phone while it charges unlike a regular wireless charger.
Great vid! I don’t have the 12 but still super informative and great info 🤗
Thank you!!!
I saw the MagSafe charger as a direct replacement to the lightning cable, *not* wireless charging pads. People haven't ever gone on and on about why lighting cables are too short or require two hands, so I'm confused as to why this accessory is being held to a different standard?
What have you seen people say that was positive about the charger?
Making fun of apple gets views.
If it is a direct replacement for lightning then how can you justify the additional cost?
@@JerrySchulze The same way we justified AirPods from EarPods. Maybe one day Apple says no more lightening port. Things change over time especially on the tech side, and it’s not like people paying extra for products from a premium brand like Apple is a secret.
@@kaydens6964 I have not problem paying apple prices. I just don't understand this item.
So, I’m interested to get one of this for the new 15 pro max. Sometimes i use it while cooking and i like that it’s stays on it, and also i can move the cable on every side. Combined with 3£ ikeea wood stand, it’s amazing
Can you use the double-sided 3M adhesive tape? So it will stick to the table while removing it off?
These items listed here are my very sentiments exactly regarding the MagSafe charger --- along with the fact that the charger does not work if you use certain cases on your device. I have the 12 Pro Max, and purchased a protective case with a 'pull-out ring' in the back that allows you to easily hold the phone etc. But my MagSafe does not work while that case is on the phone. Yes, I know there are some cases out there that are MagSafe compatible. However, in spite of these issues, I think the MagSafe does have potential, since you can use either an extension cord and solve the short-cord issue; and 3rd Party manufacturers may soon release 6-foot and 10-foot cord MagSafe chargers anyway, so I don't see that aspect as being a huge deal since it is easily solvable. Anyway, I'm not a fan of MagSafe for many of the reasons you listed....but I know the potential of the technology since it could also be applied to data transfer as well. I think it's a technology that simply isn't being used to its full potential just as yet. But if the MagSafe was able to work regardless of whatever protective-case is being used on the phone, it would be closer to phenomenal.
I've had magsafe for a couple weeks and I can easily remove it with one hand.
I was about to say the same thing but figured that there might be loads of comments on that
Me too
Same
So is it a wireless charger?
Maybe he’s just weak
You actually told the truth about how you feel about this! How refreshing. Nice to watch an honest video w/o being interrupted with a sponsorship info of stuff that's completely unrelated. The hallway fiasco was pretty funny! Love that you took a side instead of hmming and hawwing. Thanks! Thumbs upp'ed.
I'd really like to see a review or your input on the best pad for JUST a phone. I don't have pods/watch. Also, what you think about one for a car. THANKS!!!
So.. couldnt they stick a battery on the mag safe and then you just stick it on your phone out and about and have it charge? Just saying its a good idea
Released yesterday
One option: embed it in a table. That way, it’ll clip on and off your phone fairly easily. Of course, designing a piece of furniture to use a specific puck that might not work with the next gadget Apple decide you need is rather insane.
lol
Let's not forget, not everyone owns a router to route the pocket needed to put the puck into the table...I mean I guess you could do it with a knife if you were really that desperate? I mean, everyone has a knife right ?

@@aayesher9400 It was a bit of a joke lol, modifying a desk for an accessory that may only get used for a single generation of products.
What if you stuck Velcro to the back of the charger. Or are the magnets too strong
Love the MagSafe. The charging port on my iPhone does not work anymore. Not sure why. Couldn’t charge my phone ‘til I bought the MagSafe.
Nice. Never thought of those issues you mentioned. Seems the benefits don’t outweigh the inconveniences.
Doesn’t look like it for me.
Precisely and very helpful for my decisions. Thank you!
Glad it helped
One major benefit of Magsafe vs wired charger: wired charging plugs can be finicky because they can get clocked with dust and gunk and then you can't charge your phone at all! Better to have at least the ability to charge your phone via Magsafe. Not saying your complaints aren't valid, but I can still see the value of this item.
I never had that problem ever with wired chargers
@@GreatGrandmasterWang I did. I had to wiggle the cord and hold it in a particular position to work. I tried a different Apple cable - same problem. I tried an electronic parts spray cleaner - nope. So, I just bought a MagSafe charger and the problem is solved.
Don't do apple bro
Google says the iPhone 11 doesn’t support MagSafe but what if I were to get a MagSafe case. Would I be able to attach things to the case? I assume MagSafe wireless charging wouldn’t work though but surely there are still MagSafe cases for iPhone 11 for accessories
Simple solution: just put double sided tape on it and stick it to your desk. That's what I did. Works great in my home office. I prefer the magsafe charger over other wireless chargers because it's faster and, as you said, the magnets ensure that it's always alligned correctly. That being said, I agree that it's a bit annoying that it sticks to your phone (if you don't use my solution). If you want a charger to bring around with you and don't mind the cable getting in the way then I would probably just get a regular wired charger..
Grovemade has a cool solution for this as well it has a holder for the charger and stands your phone upright at an angle
what double tape did you use if you don't mind me asking
@@kesiahruiz2894 Personally I used Gorilla tape. It's never going to come up with my phone. Way over kill though
Now I have to buy double sided tape too ?!
@@kefler187 and scissors or blade to cut the tape😂
I know this is a year old video but I just bought a 13 pro Max and have been looking at what I can use MagSafe for… Honestly what “real” advantage does this way of charging has over an Lightning connector that deliver faster and better charging speeds?
What if i use a 20 watt charging brick with the mag safe? Is benfit
This video should be called: First-world problems 🙃
Says the guy watching a video for a unnecessary $40-60 accessory for an overpriced up to $1200 phone...

wow, two hands to take off the charger, two hands!!!! unbelievable!!! how dare they????
well yeah. whats the difference to plugging a cable in and out? its basically pointless
@@daz3169 difference is that you just lay your phone down and it aligns and charge.
@@MasterPiece-rg7ed you can align the lead end into the phone. not really wireless its still connecting onto something and you have to use hands to unclip it off.lol.
I agree 2 hands!!!!!!! What are apple thinking
@@daz3169 iprefer this over the non magnetic qi charge..
A bit confused, last week I went into the Apple store in Birmingham UK to buy a duo charger for my iphone 13 mini and watch. The 2 sales guys told me that I need a special case for the phone that has coils built in it. Are they talking crap, I thought I'd just be able to place the iphone 13mini on the charging pad. Appreciate any thoughts.
Yes they are talking crap. The iPhone 13 mini has MagSafe built in. If you do want to use a case with that you will need a MagSafe compatible case.
@@JerrySchulze perfect, thanks
I am looking at buying this, there seems to be a lot of similar products as well, you have to buy the MagSafe cable separately but it makes it simple to remove. Also, 3-feet is the standard size for 2-reasons, it’s used for I/O to a computer, that’s what an iPhone is. 2nd, it’s for performance, longer cables are for things like printers that usually use batch processing. Also, the new Pro Max provides 28-hours of video playback, so I doubt many will need to game and charge at the same time.
Was going to order it but glad I watched your video...Thanks!
Hope it was helpful, was fun to make.
Some other chargers do actually work at full speed, with PD 9V / 2.2A. On Apple's own page they also say it supports 9V / 3A. May require PD 3.0 though - but it's standard, doesn't need Apple's charger, just has to support this charging profile in PD 3.0.
Yeah, I agree with the fact that it is mostly unnecessary to spend those money for it. I thought the same thing, if you just could drop the iPhone without the need of separating it from its magnet the it was another thing. But so I don’t see any difference. But I’m sure they will do it more properly for the future.
My application is that I want to connect it to a stand and use it for work at my desk. It easier to just pull it than to unplug constantly. My situation is unique though and I think its worth it for people using it at a desk or attached to a charging station where it doesn't require 2 hands to pull apart.
Hey Jerry, can't you just extend the cable length with an extension?
Yes, you can and I did. But that is extra money you need to spend and I will test it but may reduce charging speed.
When I use the charger, the phone and the magesafe become warm and a little bit hot. May I plz ask is it normal?
Charging creates heat. If it hurts it is a problem.
What is effective distance of charging iPhone with MagSafe? I heard up to 1meter. Is it true?
Have you tried putting MagSafe on the steel surface, eg desktop tower. It may stick stronger on steel surface than on iPhone. I do not have Magsafe but I have Apple watch charger, so if I put the charger on Steel surface, It stick stronger than my Apple Watch if I took out Apple Watch from the charger.
I have it and it is good but it warms my phone hot like really hot I got the overheating notification a lot
I love the MagSafe charger I purchased with my iPhone 12. I especially like not putting wear on the lightning port. When I am streaming music to my audio system from my phone I just leave the phone on the charger. I use the Apple charger. I expect to use this stuff for years so it’s fine on cost. A gamer? Get a USB-C extension cord.
I bought thinking it would work fine with my iPhone 11 just without the magnets , but after trying it out , and looking how fast it was in 20 minutes in only charged 3 percent. Also it was hot when I took the phone and it left a black circle on the case. The adapter is from iPhone so I don’t know if is going to just damage it. I mean it charged the AirPods Pro in like 4 minutes to a %100 but I don’t know if it is the same with Any charger like the one they give you in the iPhone box
Check out my videos on the Satech 2-in-1 and the Belkin Boost Charge Pro. I really like this for my iPhone 12 and other devices. ....oh, you have an iPhone 11 so that will not be helpful. I wouldn't buy MagSafe for an iPhone 11 or earlier.
@@JerrySchulze so MagSafe isn’t like any other QI charger? Being from apple charges times slower ?
It does but its a small coil and was made for iPhone 12 MagSafe. Another chi charger may work better for an iPhone 11.

@@leandrolucato true true but Its up to the Ppl to buy it I bought one cuz My family all wanted to use my charger so i got the magsafe one And honestly they haven’t asked for it since lol
I was thinking of getting a MagSafe charger for my room when I’m laying down it should be good there but this guy made excellent points it would suck if it’s your every day charger that u have in your bag to take every where in case your iPhone dies And buying multiple of these for your house or office would kind of suck if u always have to pull it off a regular wireless charger would be better then
I agree, and not to mention i would be careful about what comes in contact with the puck because of the magnets inside them. Like other electronics or something with a magnetic strip. Maybe not strong enough to do anything, but why chance it.
are there really no charging brick that will make this output 15watts? I was about to buy it for the 15w but I don't have that apple 20w
And it wouldn't work with a cover on especially with a finger ring right?
My black silicone case already discolored it. If KZhead is running, it will not charge and still get hot. I’m not too happy with it.
Wait, it won't charge when you are using it?
Haha well gaming or KZhead the phone gets too hot and the charge will sit at 84%. Also holding the metal puck with the phone is heavier than a wire. Im pretty sure I’m returning the MagSafe ha
Thanks for the info.
No problem!
I have not had an issue with charging and gaming at all some have mentioned. As long as your using an official apple 20w charger charging while gaming. An this was with CODM, pubg, N GENSHIN IMPACT ON HIGHEST SETTINGS.. IN OTHER WORDs apple chargers only.
Well my issues with the lighting cord on the IPhone is that with my IPhone 5S and Iphone 6S the lighting ports started to go out after 1 year of use. Where as my old IPhone 3G never had the that issue and I used an IPhone 3G for 3 years.
explain to me why one needs a Battery Pack device between my SUB cord and my wallet outlet? I have a USB cord on every outlet near a table top and counter.
I would put a command strip on the back to tether it down to the table so you can pick it up with one hand
Can you please test if you could stick the MagSafe charger on the wall, I'd love to charge my phone on the wall next to me when I sleep
Coming soon maybe.
I’m totally going to Velcro mine to my headboard!
The phone will stick to the charger when vertical. Now you just have to really trust the Velcro strips, tape, or whatever you use on the wall that it won’t come down over night.
@@JerrySchulze Thank you so much, I'll order one!!
Thank you for the heads up! I was going to use it as a mount for my car to charge while I'm driving.
I own MagSafe Charger and I have problems with charging my iPhone 12. My iPhone 12 is in a Moshi plastic case and the magnet is too weak to reach through the case.
I bought one recently and it’s the slowest of the slow. It never reaches the advertised watts
I see the main advantages of the MagSafe charger are that it saves having to line up the port and plug and it saves wear and tear on the port on the ‘phone through repeated connections and disconnections. Extension USB cables are available quite cheaply. To complain that you have to use both hands to disconnect sounds ridiculous to me
I see the real potentional via, it is a one time purchase to sort of replace micro usb.
1 i never destroyed an iphone port in 12 years of usage and only a few model change 2 the purpose of going wireless is … not having to handle a cable 3 magsafe stations are the way to go imho
@@farodopi5170 I just hate micro usb with a passion. Who thought it was a good charging format should have been casterated due to how fast you got to replace those, but iphone ports seem well designed.
I have a question isn't it true the next iPhone won't even have a charging port so we may have to go this route regardless right
Nothing is "true" unless Apple announces something. So far no solid rumors of that. MagSafe may be the future, as I said in this video, but this specific charging puck is not great. I Love my Belkin Boost Charge Pro with MagSafe.
I use mine just like I would use a normal charging cable. but being a wireless charger means i can move the cord while holding the phone to keep it out of the way and I don't kill my battery. its also very easy to remove with one hand...
When i can get a car magnetic mount that will charge and support CarPlay I'll be interested. So far my Qi Anker phone stand is the perfect charger on the bed table and it has all night so I don't care about charging speed.
I think the magnet is pretty neat yes you have to put in a little more work to take it off the phone but you can be on your phone laying down without worrying about it falling off so I like it. And you don’t have to worry about the problem of getting shortages due to bending from having it on your chest or table while charging and scrolling through your phone. To me it’s saving money from constantly buying chargers every 3 months.
Surely if you’re buying new chargers (portable battery packs?) every few months then you’re buying the worst performing brands/models?I’ve had my ankers for at least 4 years and still going strong
I found this vid very entertaining as well as informative thx
Glad you enjoyed!
Can you charge the charger and take it with you on the go?
I agree. I don’t think there are actual benefits to this “wireless” charging pad over wired fast chargers if you need 2 hands to unplug it. But I’m really looking forward for the Belkin 3-in-1 Magsafe charger since I use AirPods and the Apple Watch. BTW great video
Thanks! I am excited about future magsafe accessories. Hopefully more than wallets.
There are - cable can come out of any way, and you safe space by no need for port and also get better water proofness, in future
@@DepressedMusicEnjoyer You are right. But I usually don’t use my device when it’s charging so for me it’s not a big deal and I don’t plan on diving with my phone anytime soon.
lol
Wired fast charging degrades and damages batteries minimally twice as fast as wireless charging does. When you have a phone that easily lasts a full day as most iPhones do it’s pretty pointless.
Could always use two sided sticky tape on the bottom of the charge of the hold it in place, that way you can just pick it up off the charger with one hand
So whats the point of getting this then? Just get a cheaper wireless charge pad.. the whole point of this wired "wireless" charger is so you can still lift it up. Even typing this sentence makes me think how stupid this product actually is. The fact that the magnet might also leave marks on your case or scratch the phone if people go caseless, oh and also the price tag..this is a HARD pass for me. My $20 anker fast charging cable is more than fine.
Which charger should I buy, to preserve my battery, I have a 13 pro max ?
The slower you charge the better for your battery. Use the old 5w charger for best battery performance. But if you need it to charge faster you will need something else.
@@JerrySchulze I read that I have to keep my battery between 40% and 80%. For best battery performance. What is the best option charge during the night with the 5w charger, or charge when I wake until 80% ?
No benefits? It will save the lightning port on my phone for other things instead of changing. My IPhone charger port always gives me problems after 2 years. Just got the 12 pro max because of this.
This was a funny well informed review. Enjoyed the sarcastic examples and the straight to the point summary. 👍🏾
I think you kind of missed the point (at least partially). I don’t think it’s about it being a wireless charger, more something like a hybrid between the regular cable and a wireless charger, being able to rotate where the cable goes out from but using it as a regular charger, not stopping the charging when you pick it up. I think the main problem is the cord length, since you don’t get to change it (ridiculous!). In general, I’d be thinking of this more like a fancier regular charger, since I think this is what Apple’s trying to replace long-term. It’s slightly more flexible; you can have the chord go any way you like, charges pretty fast, and it snaps right onto place and you don’t have to stab your phone every time you want to charge it. The only problems are the cord length and the price. Don’t think that universally outweighs just the element of snappy satisfaction and just the novelty of the concept. For me, it does. I’m not getting it, but if I did sleep on money, I’d be totally getting myself one.
Thank you for your comprehensive and not boring review ! I needed this video to talk me off the Apple ledge.
So does the plant improve the wireless connection? Sorry I don’t really get it haha
Man, am impressed how you thought about the whole scenarios. ❤️❤️
Thank you!
Yeah this guy is seriously thick. It’s funny people like this exist, at least it made me laugh
LMAO, that was the comedy of the video. Like who would take a charger that's clearly meant to stay in one spot and do all this with it...I'm thinking, "Is he making fun of the mentally challenged "????? . I'm not sure if I should make fun of him or give him a medal.
Seems like a good backup option if your charging port is ever broken
this is why i had to buy it for my dad
just want to know is it bad and harmful for battery using third party wireless MagSafe ?
Probably no different than any standard Qi charger.
@@JerrySchulze because i searched too much in google and youtube but haven’t got any thing like right answer about it, Thanks for your reply.
So a over engineered charging pad with motors in it is neat but needing to use 2 hands to disconnect a magnet is a deal breaker? Ps if u stick the MagSafe to a surface like a QI charging pad it won’t need 2 hands
Fyi if you want 15w fast charging u need to buy the 20w apple wall plug and not other third party supports it
This is one the most comprehensive reviews I’ve seen on the MagSafe charger. I could not agree with you more! I’ve been using my 18w charger from last year, with my 12 pro max, and I could not be happier. It’s blazing fast! I’m convinced, that I don’t even need the 20w brick, let alone MagSafe. Terrific review!!
Wow! Thanks. It was a little satire and fun to make but I stand by it.
@@JerrySchulze You’re very welcome. Aside from all the great points, your video was thoroughly enjoyable in its entirety!
You are absolutely right. I’ve returned mine. Now thinking about belkin 3 in one. Would you please review this. Many thanks!
the benefit of magnetic/inductive charging is that you do not wear out the lightning socket, And can't you get an extension cord? But thanks for valuable info
“If ur willing to spend $40”... then goes on and recommends u get 30 Watt adapter plus long usb c cord*
I thought the whole point was that this wirelessly charges your phone while you can also use it. That would defeat the point if you didn't have to remove it with 2 hands. The length of the cord is the reason I have a problem with it.
yeah it’s definitely redundant but the reason they are doing it is to help people transition. I believe when the technology is there (fully charge an iphone in minutes so you don’t have to wait) they will ditch the cords and ports.
my iphone battery drains when charged using magsafe does anyone facing same problem?any suggestion how to fix this problem
Thanks mate, helpful vid. Much appreciated.
Just ordered it yesterday, now I’m a little bummed. But then, I’ve never used “wireless” (or should I say portless) charging before so it’s just a gimmick I want to try. Also it opens the door for a variety of stands you can buy for your phone...? Maybe future MagSafe accessories that will come out will also be built around the assumption that you already have a MagSafe charger? Idk
i’ll get it when they bring out a longer or 3rd party one
Yep, I can’t wait for good third-party stands.
So it doesn’t charge with the otterbox? I hate it .. I can never connect it
Just received 2 from Amazon. Neither work on my 12 pro. Case/no case still doesn’t work. What have I done wrong???
What power adapter are you using? I have seen reports of fakes being sold online.
@@JerrySchulze usb C no idea on watts. Just ordered an apple approved 20 for 20 bucks. So far this iPhone pro sux for me. Expensive and I apparently do not need whatever bells a whistles it has compared to my old school 8.
I feel like you really reached with a lot of these and didn’t give the product a fair evaluation
agreed
@Vittorio Attilio Pagnotta it don’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to speak English properly, but here you are
@Vittorio Attilio Pagnotta this product is actually incredibly good
@Vittorio Attilio Pagnotta literally can’t even figure out what you’re trying to say 😂 sad old man
@Vittorio Attilio Pagnotta nobody gets your point lol
