Apple's MagSafe Wireless Charging for iPhone 14: Is It Worth It?

With Apple finally releasing the latest iPhone 14, users may wonder if adding the MagSafe charger will make its usage worthwhile.

Apple's iPhone 14 series was recently released, achieving great reviews in its performance, display, and camera features as an upgrade to its predecessor, the iPhone 13 series. The lineup comprises four models: the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

With the iPhone 14 now on the market, accessories that might make the phone more useful or easy to use will be of focus. MagSafe on iPhones has become a convenient addition since its release, with its easy-to-attach and reliable charging capabilities. Here are a few reasons why the MagSafe charger is essential for your iPhone 14.

How MagSafe Makes Charging the iPhone 14 Easier

Apple first introduced the MagSafe charger alongside the iPhone 12 series in 2020, according to the Apple Newsroom. However, the MagSafe charger has since been expanded to include select AirPods and MacBook Pro models in its charging capabilities.

Since the Apple iPhone 14 series has removed the free charger and wired earphones from its box upon purchase, with the power adaptor being sold separately, thus, a MagSafe is the next best accessory to consider for flexible means of charging.

The MagSafe charger technology uses a charging pad to magnetically attach to an iPhone, Apple Watch, or AirPods case. According to Pocket Now, the MagSafe charger is designed for faster and more efficient charging with iPhone 14 models and supports up to 15W peak power delivery for iPhones. Additionally, it can also charge non-Apple products that are MagSafe-compatible devices.

According to Screenrant, Apple offers multiple original MagSafe accessories, including the MagSafe charger and the MagSafe Duo Charger. While the former is a single charger for the iPhone, the latter can charge both an iPhone and an Apple Watch.

iPhone 14 Battery Specifications, Charging Capabilities

The actual power delivered to the iPhone by the MagSafe charger will depend on the wattage of the power adapter and system conditions.

Here are the specifications of the iPhone 14 in terms of battery and charging capabilities:

• Built‑in rechargeable lithium‑ion battery
• MagSafe wireless charging up to 15W9
• Qi wireless charging up to 7.5W9
• Charging via USB to computer system or power adapter
• Fast-charge capable:
• Up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes, 10 with 20W adapter or higher

Additionally, iPhone owners should keep in mind that it is important to plug into a power source before placing the device on the MagSafe Charger. This allows MagSafe to verify the safefy of the outlet to deliver maximum power, according to Apple Support.
