Despite the iPhone 16e's omission of MagSafe drawing considerable criticism, real-world tests reveal a surprisingly weak magnetic connection with MagSafe chargers. Let's be clear: this isn't a practical magnetic connection for charging. While the iPhone 16e lacks MagSafe – a significant drawback – MagSafe chargers do exhibit some magnetic interaction with the phone's internal metals.
It was already anticipated that the iPhone 16e would charge via MagSafe chargers, albeit without secure magnetic adhesion. This renders vertical or angled MagSafe chargers unusable, and eliminates in-car mounting options.
Or at least, without accessories. MagSafe cases for the iPhone 16e are already available, with more undoubtedly on the way.
However, during Macworld's testing of wireless MagSafe charging on a flat surface, a faint magnetic connection was observed. The charging puck briefly remained attached when the iPhone 16e was lifted.
This magnetic attraction is exceptionally weak. It's insufficient for vertical or angled chargers and disappears entirely when a case is added.
Nevertheless, without a case and using a flat, desk-mounted MagSafe charger, a slight magnetic hold is present. Precise positioning is crucial; the magnetic pull isn't strong enough to guide the phone into place like a true MagSafe connection, but a subtle "snap" sound confirms the connection.
The Mechanics of Genuine MagSafe
Apple hasn't commented on the iPhone 16e's magnets. The most plausible explanation is that the magnetic effect stems from the metal within the wireless charging coil, rather than dedicated magnets designed for phone retention.
Introduced with the iPhone 12 series in 2020, MagSafe combines wireless charging and magnetic mounting, compatible with most current iPhones – excluding the iPhone 16e.
The above is the detailed content of MagSafe chargers do connect magnetically to the iPhone 16e. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
