One of the biggest drawbacks to buying aniPhone 16eis that itdoesnt come with MagSafe charging.
Instead it comes with plain, magnet-free Qi wireless charging complete with a meager 7.5W maximum charging speed.
All for reasons that are still completely unknown.
Specifically the newest model, capable of hitting 25W charging speeds.
Charging tests were also done without the MagSafe case, to see how much of a difference there is.
Unsurprisingly the data showed that using a MagSafe-compatible case on iPhone 16e actually improved performance.
Meanwhile, attempting to wirelessly charge without the magnetic case was a lot more varied.
No perfect alignment means lower efficiency, and thus slower charging speeds.
Which isnt ideal, considering 7.5W isnt particularly fast to begin with.
So, where are they?
Which would debunk the rumor that Apple skipped out on MagSafe because it interfered with the new modem.
Apple still hasnt confirmed why it opted for non-magnetic Qi wireless charging.
