And it’s surely easier to top off your phone by setting it down a puck that instantly aligns itself perfectly, rather than fumbling around at your bedside to plug in a tiny Lightning connector. The magnets help localize the iPhone 12 on chargers and makes accessory attachment more convenient. Still, that’s not to discredit the philosophy behind MagSafe, which makes a lot of sense.
In a third-party charging test, the iPhone 12 charges to 50% full in 28 minutes using the 20W fast charger. The bad news is that MagSafe is slower than Apple's 20W wired charger. Your iPhone 12 will still be compatible with whatever wireless chargers or Qi accessories you already have, though to get those peak 15-watt speeds, you'll need a first- or third-party solution that incorporates MagSafe.
The company’s own $30 MagSafe charging puck uses the very same Qi standard as any other wireless charger for any other phone - it just incorporates magnets, too.
There’s nothing inherently unique about Apple’s brand of wireless charging here.
