What is MagSafe?

MagSafe is Apple's magnetic system for iPhone. It uses built-in magnets to connect your phone with compatible cases, wireless chargers, wallets, grips, stands, mounts, and other MagSafe accessories.

How does MagSafe work?

MagSafe uses a ring of magnets inside compatible iPhones to align with MagSafe cases and accessories. The magnets help accessories snap into the right position and stay securely attached.

Which iPhones have MagSafe?

Every iPhone from the iPhone 12 forward has MagSafe built in. That includes the 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 families, Pro and Pro Max included, plus the iPhone Air. iPhone 11 and older do not have it, and no case can add it to them.

Do I need a MagSafe case?

If you use a phone case and want the strongest connection with MagSafe accessories, a MagSafe compatible case is your best bet. It has magnets built directly into the case to line up with the magnets in your iPhone.

Magnet strength varies a lot between cases, and it is the difference between a wallet that stays on and a wallet that ends up on the floor of your car. Smartish MagSafe cases use strong built-in magnets that hold a wallet, a mount, or a charger without sliding or popping off.

Can you use MagSafe through a regular phone case?

Sometimes, but the connection may not be as strong. A true MagSafe case has built-in magnets designed to keep MagSafe chargers and accessories securely connected. Thicker cases and cases with metal plates or card slots in the back can weaken or block the connection entirely.

What can you use with MagSafe?

MagSafe works with all kinds of compatible accessories, including wireless chargers, wallets, phone grips, stands, car mounts, wall mounts, and more. One phone, lots of possibilities.

Does MagSafe charge your phone?

MagSafe itself is the magnetic system. A MagSafe compatible wireless charger uses those magnets to line up with your iPhone for wireless charging. The magnets are what make it reliable: line it up once and it stays lined up, instead of sliding off a flat pad overnight and greeting you at 14% in the morning.

What's the difference between MagSafe and Qi2?

Qi2 is the industry-wide wireless charging standard that borrowed MagSafe's magnetic ring, so Android phones could do the same trick. In practice, MagSafe accessories and Qi2 accessories snap onto each other just fine. MagSafe is Apple's name for it. Qi2 is everyone else's.

Are MagSafe cases protective?

They can be. MagSafe describes the magnetic technology, not how protective a case is. Smartish MagSafe cases combine built-in magnets with protective features designed for everyday drops, bumps, and general phone chaos.

Will a MagSafe wallet demagnetize my credit cards?

No. Modern credit and debit cards use a chip, and the magnetic stripe on the back is not affected by the magnets in MagSafe accessories. Hotel key cards and older stripe-only cards are the exception, so keep those somewhere else.

Is MagSafe bad for your iPhone battery?

No. MagSafe charging is wireless charging, and your iPhone manages it the same way it manages any charge. Wireless charging runs warmer than a cable, which is why Apple builds in optimized charging to slow things down overnight.

Who is MagSafe actually good for?

Anyone tired of fishing a phone out of a cupholder. More specifically:
 
✔️ Commuters and drivers, who want the phone on a car mount in one motion and off it in one motion
✔️ Anyone who carries a wallet, since a MagSafe wallet turns two pockets into one
✔️ Desk workers, who want the phone propped, charging, and visible instead of face-down next to the keyboard
✔️ Photographers and video callers, who need the phone to hold an angle without a tripod
✔️ People who just got a new iPhone and are building the kit from scratch

What MagSafe accessories should I start with?

Start with the case, because it's what everything else attaches to. From there, the three that earn their keep fastest are a wallet, a stand or grip, and a car mount. Smartish makes all of them, and they're designed to work together: Gripmunk for slim protection, Gripzilla for our toughest protection, Quickstand for propping and gripping, Mountaineer for mounting on your wall or car, or Side Hustle for replacing your wallet.
