Wireless charging has become a staple feature in modern smartphones, offering a convenient, cable free way to keep your device powered. But how does it work? Does MagSafe wireless charging stand out from the rest? Let’s look into it and break it down.
Wireless charging relies on a technology called inductive charging. This process uses electromagnetic fields to transfer energy from a charging pad to your phone’s battery, without the need for physical connectors like the wires we are used to.
A Simple Breakdown of the Process:
Inside the wireless charger is a copper coil that generates an alternating magnetic field when connected to power. Your phone also contains a coil, which picks up the energy and converts it back into electricity. The alignment of the coils is key, so if they are misaligned, charging slows down or may become inefficient.
Most smartphones use the Qi wireless charging standard, which ensures compatibility across various devices and charging pads, with hundreds of phones using it.
How MagSafe Wireless Charging Works
Apple introduced MagSafe wireless charging with the iPhone 12, improving upon the standard Qi wireless charging by adding magnets to the process.
The built in magnets ensure your phone snaps into the perfect charging position, increasing efficiency and reducing energy loss. MagSafe allows for charging up to 15W when perfectly aligned, whereas without the alignment it may be around 7W.
The magnetic connection prevents your phone from slipping out of the optimal charging zone, avoiding slow or interrupted charging. MagSafe’s magnetic system also enables seamless integration with accessories like MagSafe tripods, car mounts, phone grips, bike mounts, phone wallets, battery packs and more. One of our newer products, Mag SleekGrip-Air, is a portable and durable phone stand and grip, which will help securely hold your phone while also allowing you to use it as a stand, and easily allows you to take it off to charge with your wireless charger.
Why MagSafe Charging Is Better
While standard wireless charging is convenient, it can be slow and inefficient due to misalignment. MagSafe fixes this by locking the charger into place, maximizing the charging speed.
If you’re looking for a fast, reliable, and efficient wireless charging experience, MagSafe is the way to go. Pair it with MagSafe compatible accessories for even more functionality! A MagSafe card holder like DuoFlip holds two of your cards to use on the go, then take it off to wirelessly charge, put it back on and be on your way!
