How to choose the right MagSafe charger for your iPhone
MagSafe charging is one of the most convenient features of recent generations of iPhones. But with a growing range of MagSafe and "MagSafe-compatible" chargers on the market, it's not easy to navigate. How do you know a quality MagSafe charger that is truly safe and powerful?
In this article, we will advise you on what to look out for when choosing one and what benefits Cubenest products offer.
1. What is MagSafe and why does it matter?
MagSafe is the magnetic attachment and wireless charging technology that Apple introduced with the iPhone 12. It enables precise alignment of the charger with the coil in the phone, providing stable and efficient charging of up to 15 watts.
2. Compatibility - what iPhones support MagSafe?
The following models have full MagSafe support:
iPhone 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16 (all variants: Mini, Pro, Pro Max)
If you have an older iPhone with Qi wireless charging and want your phone to magnetically attach to the charger, you need a MagSafe compatible case.
3. Charging performance and speed
Genuine Apple MagSafe - up to 15W of power (only with 20W Apple adapter)
MagSafe-compatible chargers - typically max 7.5-10 W (sometimes more if well designed)
Cubenest MagSafe chargers support full 15W charging, feature smart temperature control and optimized magnetic centering.
4. Magnetic strength and stability
Magnets should:
- hold the phone securely even in an upright position (e.g. in a car)
- be compatible with MagSafe covers, yet easily detach without damaging the device
- Cheap chargers often use weaker or poorly placed magnets - the phone can easily shift and the charging process is interrupted. Cubenest holders and chargers use a high-precision magnetic field tested with 12-16 iPhones.
5. Overheating and damage protection
A safe MagSafe charger should include:
- Thermal, surge, current and short circuit protection,
- FOD (Foreign Object Detection) protection - detects metal objects between the phone and charger and interrupts charging.
- Cubenest products do all this. In addition, some models (e.g. car mounts) include active cooling for stable performance even in hot weather.
6. Design and performance
- Table chargers: suitable for 3in1 or 2in1 bedside tables
- Travel version:
- 2in1 (iPhone + AirPods/Apple Watch)
