One of the most surprising aspects From the new iPhone 16th is its lack of Magsafe. Magsafe is a technology created by an apple that is so good that the wireless power consortium has adopted it as The basis of the Qi2 wireless load standard used by non -Apple devices. But it's not on the iPhone 16th, and it's by design.
In his examination of the iPhone 16th, John Gruber declares that the target audience of the phone does not care about Magsafe, according to Apple representatives to whom he spoke. The 16th users are responsible for “exclusively” via a cable, and if they have used an inductive load, they do not care that the 16th is limited to the Qi load of 7.5 W slower. By way of comparison, the iPhone 16 and 16 pro have Magsafe which charges at 25 W if you use an adapter 30W or more, and they have the magnets that the 16th does not have to ensure an appropriate connection.
Whether true or not, Magsafe always feels as a strange characteristic to omit. Magsafe is a Marquee Apple feature, not only because it offers a practical and fast load, but also because the magnets involved provide unloaded features. For example, I use a car support that keeps my iPhone 16 using Magsafe magnets. I cannot use the iPhone 16th with my support.
Apple's reasoning resembles the rationalization of marketing. We know that Magsafe does not interfere with Apple's new C1 modem, as has been supposed, and Magsafe probably does not cost much to implement Apple. What is clear is that if Magsafe is a key factor in your purchasing decision, you must go from the iPhone 16th to the iPhone 16 or 16 pro – which could be the real reason why Apple left it aside.
If you want an iPhone 16th with Magsafe, you can add a Magsafe case, but you will only get 7.5 W load speeds.
