The Apple MagSafe Charger is designed for iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 users seeking fast, perfectly aligned, and efficient wireless charging. Its key benefit is the magnetic alignment, ensuring optimal power delivery up to 15W. A crucial point to remember is that while it charges other Qi-enabled devices, the full 15W speed and magnetic alignment are exclusive to compatible iPhone models, and a separate 20W USB-C power adapter is required.
Up to 15W Fast Wireless Charging: Delivers rapid charging speeds specifically for iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models, significantly reducing charge times compared to standard wireless chargers.
Integrated Magnetic Alignment: Features powerful magnets that precisely snap your iPhone into place, ensuring perfect coil-to-coil alignment for consistent and efficient charging every time.
Designed for iPhone 12 and iPhone 13: Optimized to seamlessly integrate with MagSafe-compatible iPhone models, offering the full benefits of the MagSafe ecosystem.
Qi-Enabled Device Compatibility: Extends its utility beyond MagSafe iPhones, allowing you to wirelessly charge other Qi-certified smartphones, AirPods models with a wireless charging case, and other small electronic devices, albeit at varying, potentially slower, speeds.

The Apple MagSafe Charger excels in providing a hassle-free wireless charging experience, especially for users with an iPhone 12 or iPhone 13. When you bring your compatible iPhone close to the charger, the integrated magnets instantly snap it into the optimal charging position. This ensures that your device receives the full 15W of power without the need for manual alignment.
For example, an iPhone 13 Pro placed on the MagSafe Charger with a 20W USB-C power adapter can quickly gain significant battery life in a short period, making it ideal for quick top-ups throughout the day. The magnetic attachment is strong enough to keep the phone securely in place, even if you pick it up to check notifications briefly.
While it does work with other Qi-enabled devices, such as older iPhones (iPhone 8 or newer) or Android phones that support wireless charging, the experience will differ. These devices will charge at standard Qi speeds (typically 7.5W for iPhones, up to 10-15W for some Androids, depending on the device and power brick), and they will not benefit from the magnetic alignment feature. This means you'll need to manually place them in the correct spot for charging to initiate and maintain.
Connect to Power: Plug the USB-C end of the MagSafe Charger into a compatible power adapter. For optimal 15W charging, an Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter or a compatible third-party 20W (or higher) USB-C PD power adapter is recommended.
Position Your Device: Place your iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 onto the MagSafe Charger. The magnets will automatically align your device, and the charging animation will appear on your iPhone's screen.
Charge Other Qi Devices: For other Qi-enabled devices, simply place them centered on the MagSafe Charger. There will be no magnetic snap, so ensure proper placement for charging to begin.
Full 15W Magnetic Charging: iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Standard Qi Wireless Charging (without magnetic alignment): iPhone 8 and later, AirPods models with a wireless charging case, and other Qi-certified Android smartphones or devices.
Cases: For magnetic alignment and optimal charging, use an iPhone with MagSafe built-in or an Apple-certified MagSafe case. Non-MagSafe cases may prevent magnetic attachment and reduce charging efficiency.
Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from power. Wipe the charging surface with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Handling: Avoid bending or crimping the cable excessively. Do not expose the charger to extreme temperatures or liquids.
Storage: Store the charger in a clean, dry place when not in use.
