In the latter half of 2020, Apple officially unveiled the iPhone 12 mobile phone, accompanied by a series of significant upgrades. Apple is renowned for breakthroughs in design and technology, setting benchmarks that other manufacturers must reckon with. For the iPhone 12, Apple introduced a technology that is 'not exactly new but not old either'—MagSafe. In this article, Software Tricks will explore MagSafe on the iPhone 12 with you.
1. What is MagSafe?
The term 'MagSafe' is already familiar to users of Apple's MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops, and it remains one of the most lucrative features of all time. MagSafe is a charging system with Apple's signature magnets, offering several advantages over traditional charging. Firstly, the laptop will automatically attach to the charging port when the user is within a 5cm range, eliminating the need to search for the charging slot. Additionally, MagSafe provides a much safer charging experience. If someone accidentally kicks or pulls the charging cable, it will automatically detach to prevent the laptop from falling or getting displaced.
Real-world Applications of MagSafe are Abundant and Highly Satisfying for Users
2. What is MagSafe on iPhone 12?
During the iPhone 12 launch event, Apple introduced MagSafe, hinting at a potential future trend in smartphone technology. As Apple shared, the iPhone 12 will come equipped with MagSafe charging—a magnetic charging system integrated into the back of the device. The primary purpose of MagSafe on the iPhone 12 is to ensure wireless charging devices automatically align with the necessary position for charging the battery. If you've used wireless charging before, you know the struggle of aligning your phone correctly for it to charge. Integrating MagSafe into the iPhone 12 makes it easier for users to charge their phones, especially by securely fixing the phone on the charging dock.
Previously, when placing the phone on a wireless charger, even a slight force could cause the phone to slide or shift out of the charging position. However, with the iPhone 12 equipped with MagSafe, a force strong enough (greater than the magnetic force) is required to displace it from the charging dock.
The applications of MagSafe on iPhone 12 go beyond just magnetic charging; Apple also reveals the potential to attract various accessories. Apple even provides magnetic leather accessories for the iPhone 12, sized to hold items like an ATM card or business card. However, this is just one of Apple's applications; accessory manufacturers will explore ways to leverage the magnets on the iPhone 12.
Another intriguing application that Apple shares with MagSafe technology on the iPhone 12 is magnetic leather cases. Previously, few people used cases for iPhones as using a case would obscure the screen. However, the integration of MagSafe allows Apple to connect with leather cases and create a display area for essential information on the screen. However, this feature is not highly rated, as Android phones have had it for a long time.
Furthermore, users can attach a multitude of other items to the back of the iPhone 12, as long as they have magnets. During the event, Apple shared some interesting badges for the back of the iPhone 12.
3. Apple MagSafe Wireless Charging
To activate MagSafe wireless charging on the iPhone 12, users need to invest in the Apple MagSafe charger. In theory, it functions as a wireless charging device similar to others on the market. The standout feature of Apple MagSafe is its exclusive compatibility with the iPhone 12 generation, meaning it does not adhere to the Qi standard. The reason for this limited compatibility is that it is specifically designed for MagSafe wireless charging, and only devices equipped with MagSafe can be compatible.
The Apple MagSafe wireless charger is currently available for approximately $39 USD (920,000 VND).
