FAQ

Q: What Is MagSafe?

MagSafe is a special magnetic technology designed originally for charging. A compatible MagSafe charger will quickly and easily connect to your iPhone thanks to magnets built into both the charger puck and the phone itself.

With the Apple charger and other compatible cables, MagSafe can charge at up to 15W, twice as fast as regular Qi charging.

But along with charging, MagSafe can be used for much more. There are a wide variety of other accessories that can make use of the technology and make your iPhone experience better—everything from wallets to tripods that use the system.

Q: What iPhone Models Are Compatible With MagSafe?

To use MagSafe accessories, you’ll need a compatible iPhone. Currently, you can find MagSafe technology on the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, and both sizes of iPhone 13 Pro. It’s also available on the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, and both iPhone 12 Pro models.

Apple will likely continue to feature the technology on future iPhone models as well.

Q: Do All MagSafe Accessories Charge Your iPhone?

If you’re a new iPhone user, the naming can be confusing. But a MagSafe accessory, unless it is a charger or battery pack, won’t juice up your iPhone. You’ll just be able to take advantage of the magnetic technology.
