-Is the wireless charger compatible with Apple MagSafe?

You may easily conclude that this is beyond doubt, as Apple has stated that all iPhone models after iPhone 8 are compatible with Qi. However, if you search online for compatibility between iPhone 12 and Qi certified chargers, you will be surprised; Many people have reported that their Qi chargers cannot charge the iPhone 12 series. The introduction of Magsafe has led to this situation.

To achieve MagSafe, Apple has added magnets around the receiver coil inside the phone. The MagSafe charger is precisely attached to the phone and concentrates the magnetic field on the receiving area of the phone. On the contrary, some Qi chargers may leak magnetic fields onto magnets and generate heat. For these Qi chargers, magnets can trigger foreign object detection and stop charging. Even some of them have relaxed the FOD threshold to allow charging to continue; The rising temperature of the magnet limits the charging speed of the phone. As a result, the battery level of mobile phones decreases over time; Even the charging icon on the phone screen shows that it is charging.

When people do not use MagSafe chargers to charge their iPhone 12 series and iPhone 13 series, the above issues can lead to a poor user experience. Due to its large transmitter coil characteristics, a through charger is prone to leaking magnetic fields onto the internal magnets of the iPhone, resulting in a poor charging experience. We don't know if IKEA has addressed this issue in their newly released wireless chargers. Looking forward to consumer feedback after product launch.

As a pioneer in the field of wireless charging, Tseetech thoroughly analyzed MagSafe compatibility issues and developed our solution.
