MagSafe is a magnetic technology by Apple, incorporated into the iPhone 12 series. Firstly designed to be a safety feature for MacBook chargers, MagSafe has been incorporated into the iPhone 12 series to create a new type of chargers and accessories for easy connection as well as faster cable free charging.

Aside from easy as well as enhanced wireless charging, the MagSafe snap-on attachment gives lots of exciting other accessories for example MagSafe car cradles and holders as well as wall mounts, tripods and portable power banks that will widen the life with your iPhone 12 and make life more fun and easier.
Owning a MagSafe charger as well as different accessories will give you to fully take advantage of the iPhone 12's features and have much fun at the same time. While your iPhone can still be used with other Qi-enabled wireless chargers, MagSafe chargers are able to deliver faster wireless charging, up to 15 Watts if when used to charge Apple's iPhone 12, where other wireless chargers just supply up to 7.5 Watts of power. That means you’ll use less time recharging, and have the perfectly aligned snap-on attachment removes any concern or worry the phone might not charge fully if the device vibrates and moves due to an alert.
One unfortunate similarity between the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro is their battery life or lack thereof. These iPhones provide adequate performance, yet represent one rung down from 2019's iPhones. I have generally been getting about four and a half hours of usage for each full charge using 4G, 5G as well as Wi-Fi. Now, that just a day's usage, and has a tiny safety net. In comparison, I was easily able to get a day and a half from the iPhone 11 and also the iPhone XR. A day per charge is fine, but this would have been good if there was a larger safety net especially on those days where there is a lot usage.
And on a charging note, the company has gone with an interesting decision to stop bundling earbuds and power bricks with iPhones for environmental reasons. All you'll get in the box - other than the iPhone 12 itself - is a USB C to Lightning cable. I don't think it's a major issue. EarPods are not the best, and many of us have a power brick. The only tricky thing is Apple's choice of cable. You'll need a power brick with a USB C port to use it (or a computer) but unless you are coming from the iPhone 11 Pro Max, the iPhone charger will be made with a USB A connector.
Yet you may use an older charger and cable, but you'll not see faster charging speeds your iPhone 12 can achieve. Should you need to buy a USB Type C power brick, you will be paying nearly $30 in order to purchase one of these.
MagSafe Makes Use Of Magnets
Another option is, Apple additionally now has their new wireless charging protocol: . This is a puck-like wireless charger that connects onto the rear of the iPhone 12. This ensures perfect connection to get the fastest wireless charge, it means you are able to use use the iPhone while it's juicing - which you just cannot do with a normal charger. You'll still be able to achieve a quicker charge with a traditional charger, but MagSafe can charge your iPhone 12 from zero charge up to 40% in about thirty minutes.
Additionally purchasing MagSafe is going to cost you. You'll need to pay $64.99 for the charger itself, as well as $29 should you require a USB Type C charging adaptor. And if you're wanting the magnets to connect to your case or cover, you'll need to purchase a MagSafe compatible cover. Your MagSafe charger will provide charge through most covers, it won't stick to it. Apple's MagSafe cases are priced from $78.99.
There are aspects of MagSafe which are for magSafe devices only however, it still charges as a More about here QI wireless charger and will be compatible with any phone that supports wireless charging. Charging time will be slightly slower, however as fast. Currently, MagSafe is a fun but very convenient option, however I'm really curious in seeing where MagSafe will lead to.
While the majority of people don't need a MagSafe charger at the office, there is definitely a lot of potential for accessories like vehicle holders where it could prove useful.
