`
`MagSafe: Everything About Apple's New iPhone 12
`Charging Technology
`
`Friday March 12, 2021 2:59 PM PST by Juli Clover
`
`With the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models introduced in October 2020, Apple
`reinvented "MagSafe," a name once used for the breakaway magnetic charging
`cables designed for the MacBook. The repurposed MagSafe name still pertains
`to magnet-based accessories, but this time, designed for iPhones rather than
`Macs.
`
`All of the iPhone 12 models have a ring of magnets built into the back around
`the wireless charging coil that adhere to MagSafe based accessories like cases

`and chargers, and this guide outlines everything you need to know about
`MagSafe.

`
`How MagSafe Works
`
`MagSafe uses a ring of magnets in the iPhone 12 models to connect to
`accessories that also have magnets built inside. So, for example, Apple’s
`MagSafe Charger snaps right on to the back of an iPhone, much like a magnet
`snaps onto a refrigerator.
`
`FDA Says Risk of MagSafe
`Interference With Pacemakers
`is Low
`
`Cases are the same way, snapping onto the magnet ring built into the iPhone.
`The design of the magnet ring allows the iPhone 12 models to be compatible
`with a whole range of accessories that rely on magnets, from chargers to
`mounts to cases.
`
`The Magnet Ring Inside iPhones
`
`iPhone 12 models have a ring of 18 rectangular magnets arranged in a circular
`shape located underneath the wireless charging coil in each device, which is
`what allows the MagSafe magic to happen.

`
`MagSafe Charger
`
`The MagSafe Charger looks something like a larger Apple Watch Charging Puck
`with an aluminum body and a soft white material at the top of the charger. The
`charger snaps onto an iPhone 12 with magnets inside, perfectly aligning the
`charging coil in the MagSafe Charger with the charging coil in the iPhone.

`

`
`Image via iFixit
`
`Repair site iFixit took apart a MagSafe Charger and did an x-ray to show us the
`charger’s internal design. As with the iPhone, there are a series of magnets
`inside that are compatible with the magnets in the iPhone that surround an
`internal charging coil and a circuit board that manages the charging process.
`
`Apple has also designed the MagSafe Duo Charger, which combines a MagSafe
`charger with an Apple Watch charging puck. The charger is foldable, making it
`ideal for travel, and costs $129.
`
`The MagSafe Duo Charger is not able to charge an iPhone 12 at the full 15W.
`With Apple's 20W charger, the MagSafe Duo chargers at a maximum of 11W,
`and with a 27W or higher USB-C power adapter, it charges at up to 14W. The
`MagSafe Duo does not come with a power adapter and a charger must be
`
`purchased separately. Note that the 29W charger from Apple is not compatible,
`but the 30W version is.

`
`but the 30W version is.
`
`12W Charging for iPhone 12 mini
`
`For most of the iPhone 12 models, the MagSafe charger is able to charge at a
`maximum of 15W, but for the smallest iPhone, the iPhone 12 mini, charging
`maxes out at 12W. The same goes for the MagSafe Duo. Charging speeds can
`also be affected by the temperature of the iPhone.
`
`Getting 15W Charging Speeds
`
`Achieving 15W (or 12W on iPhone 12 mini) charging speeds requires Apple's
`20W power adapter or another appropriate 20W+ PD 3.0 charger. Testing with
`Apple’s prior-generation 18W iPad charger and a 96W MacBook Pro charger
`proved that those power adapters do not allow the MagSafe Charger to reach
`the full 15 watts.
`
`The same goes for many existing third-party power adapters, which also do not
`have the proper charging profile. New chargers from third-party companies
`may, however, include support for the MagSafe Charger, and testing indicates
`that to provide the 15W charging speed, a MagSafe Charger needs to support
`Power Delivery 3.0 at 9V/2.22A or 9V/2.56A, according to Apple. The iPhone 12
`mini can hit maximum charging speeds with a 9V/2.03A power adapter.
`
`You're guaranteed to get 15W with Apple’s $19 20W power adapter (this power
`adapter also comes with the 2020 iPad Air models), but you may also be able
`to use a third-party charger as long as it meets those specifications.

`
`How to Make Sure Your Apple MagSafe Charger is Genuine
`
`MagSafe Charging vs. Traditional Charging
`
`With the MagSafe Charger, it takes about an hour to charge an iPhone 12 from
`zero to 50 percent, which is double the time that it takes to charge using a
`USB-C to Lightning cable and a 20W+ USB-C power adapter.
`
`Charging with the MagSafe Charger is faster than charging with a Qi-based
`charger, which maxes out at 7.5W, but for the fastest charging you’re still going
`to want to use a wired charging connection with a Lightning to USB-C cable.
`
`When the iPhone is warm, charging speeds can be throttled down, and Apple
`warns that if the iPhone gets too warm, charging will be limited above 80
`percent. Apple recommends moving your iPhone and charger to a cooler
`location if it feels overly warm.
`
`Charging Speeds With Lightning Accessories
`
`When Lightning-based accessories like EarPods are connected to an iPhone 12
`model, charging with MagSafe is limited to 7.5W, which is something to be
`aware of.

`MagSafe: Everything About Apple's New iPhone 12 Charging Technology - MacRumors
`
`5/15/21, 9:01 AM
`
`When you place a MagSafe Charger on a compatible iPhone, the iPhone's
`display will feature a MagSafe charging animation with a MagSafe-like shape on
`the screen along with a readout of the current iPhone charge.
`
`Using the MagSafe Charger With Older iPhones
`
`Using the MagSafe Charger with older iPhones is possible, but not
`recommended because charging is slower than with the 7.5W Qi-based
`chargers. Charging appears to be capped at right around 5W with the MagSafe
`Charger when paired with older devices, and in testing, the MagSafe charger
`has proven to be slower than using a plain old Qi charger.

`
`MagSafe vs. USB-C
`
`Testing suggests the MagSafe Charger charges the iPhone 12 less than half as
`fast than a wired 20W USB-C charger. With the 20W charger, a dead iPhone
`was able to charge to 50 percent in 28 minutes, and the same 50 percent
`charge took an hour over MagSafe.

`
`MagSafe Cases and Accessories
`
`Apple has designed cases, wallet attachments, and a MagSafe Charger to use
`with the MagSafe iPhones, and third-party case and accessory makers are also
`creating MagSafe-compatible products. We have a guide highlighting some of
`the available MagSafe accessories that you can purchase.
`
`MagSafe Don'ts
`
`Avoid putting single use cards like hotel cards against the magnet in
`the iPhone or the MagSafe Charger
`Don’t put credit cards, security badges, passports, or key fobs between
`
`the iPhone and MagSafe Charger because magnetic strips and RFID
`chips can be damaged

`Don’t charge with the MagSafe Wallet attachment on the iPhone (cases
`can remain on)
`MagSafe Charger Warnings
`
`When using the MagSafe Charger, Apple warns that it can leave an imprint on
`the Leather Cases designed for the iPhone 12 models, which is something to be
`aware of. It can also leave a mark on Silicone cases based on reports from
`MacRumors readers, and it’s possible that this will affect third-party cases
`made from soft materials as well.
`
`Apple recommends that those worried about the ring that can be caused by
`MagSafe choose Silicone or Clear cases instead of the Leather versions.

`
`MagSafe and Pacemakers
`
`Like all iPhones, the iPhone 12 models with their MagSafe technology can cause
`interference with medical devices like pacemakers and defibrillators. Apple
`recommends keeping iPhone 12 models and all MagSafe accessories a safe
`distance away from implanted medical devices.
`
`A safe distance is considered more than 6 inches / 15 cm apart or more than
`12 inches / 30 cm apart if wirelessly charging. Though there are more magnets
`in the iPhone 12 models, Apple says that they are "not expected to pose a
`greater risk of magnetic interference to medical devices than prior iPhone
`models."
`
`Cleaning the MagSafe Charger
`
`Apple recommends cleaning the MagSafe charger with a soft, lint-free cloth.
`Abrasive cleaning cloths need to be avoided, as do cleaning agents. Apple
`recommends against excessive wiping, which could cause damage, and says
`that bleaches and aerosol sprays shouldn’t be used.
`
`MagSafe Chargers can be disinfected with a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe
`or a Clorox Disinfecting Wipe, as long as no moisture gets in any openings.
