Were you looking for a new iPhone case for your phone and came across a circle design on the case and wondered why it's there and what it does? We'll answer all your questions below. 👇
Long story short, the circle design on the back of certain iPhone cases means it supports MagSafe and has a MagSafe magnet embedded in the case. But what is it and how can it help?
What is wireless charging?
Wireless charging, also known as inductive charging, is an easy and wireless way to charge your phone and other electronic devices. It works by transferring energy from the charging mat to a receiver at the back of your phone through electromagnetic induction. These normally only work when both your phone and charging mat are nearby of each other and aligned correctly.
MagSafe is the name of Apple's wireless charging accessory and is used for their iPhone, AirPods and MacBook. It uses a magnet to connect the charger to your device and keeps it secure and safe whilst charging.
Which iPhones support MagSafe?
Apple has included MagSafe as a feature for your iPhone since the iPhone 12 series. Therefore, it's available from iPhone 12 to the newest release of iPhone 16 phones. Still not sure? Here's how you can check:
- Check the back of your iPhone for any MagSafe related branding
- Visit the Apple website to check your iPhone to see if you have MagSafe compatibility
- Check your model number on the Apple website to see if your iPhone has MagSafe
Why is it helpful?
The benefit of using MagSafe is that it allows precise alignment and fast wireless charging between your iPhone and your charger. The magnet ensures your phone snaps onto any MagSafe accessory without hassle or misalignment.
