IPhone 16eReplacement of Apple by iPhone seIt has many functions that make it a good deal, from the A18 chip to the fact that it actually comes with the OLED screen. But one obvious omission in the specification sheet does not make sense: why does this phone have $ 599 have no magsafe?
Despite the fact that he is very similar to iPhone 14and using the components that look like iPhone 16The iPhone 16e does not support Magsafe or fast wireless charging. Apple expects the owners of the iPhone 16e will be satisfied with the same wireless charging speeds as the iPhone SE, released in 2022 and a small advantage of using the USB-C port, and not lighting portField
The missing IPhone 16e Magsaph seems especially strange because this function has been given for many years. Apple introduced Magsaf To its smartphones with the iPhone 12 as a magnetic accessory and the charging standard and has since includes it in each phone. Magsafe is borrowed by the name of magnetic connectors on Apple laptops, but with some key differences. Magsafe on the iPhone means that you have strong built-in magnets that allow your phone to attach to covers, mounts, wallets and stands, without any additional pieces. When you charge charging over Magsafe, you also get faster charging speeds, faced with a charge of 7.5 watts until 25 watts with charging with the correct charging brick.
More importantly, the use of magnets for the direct direction of the charger to the charging reaches largely eliminates the likelihood that the phone will be on a charging device, but in fact will not be charged. This is probably one of the main reasons why Magsafe was accepted into a wider Qi2 standard charging standard – It just does it much more convenient.
This really does not explain why Apple will leave it from the iPhone 16e. The determination of the company that makes the Pro function is always in motion, and it often leaves functions or components to justify the lower price. But Apple and his partners are probably selling a lot of Magsafe accessories, does Apple also do not want to sell their owners of the iPhone 16e?
An interesting wrinkle in all this is Qi2, which was available for telephone employees since 2023, but did not see the wide distribution outside the Apple phones. Samsung, a company that should have more than enough money to enter Qi2 in flagships, instead offers a case that you can buy if you want Use Qi2 charging on Galaxy S25Other Android manufacturers field Not better: You will not find Qi2 on Pixel 9, Motorola Razr+ or Galaxy Z Flip and Flip 6. Perhaps Qi2 or Magsafe is more expensive (or difficult) to turn on, which seems to be “generously” all this time, this can make the decision not to support this. The standard makes more sense. But this does not change the fact that the lack of iPhone 16E in Magsafe is very annoying.
