![]() My main critique of it is that it is slow compared to the speeds you get on cheaper Android phones. Look, I’m not just being nasty to Apple’s MagSafe Charger for no good reason. And given the cost of the MagSafe Charger, one could argue that it definitely isn’t worth buying in 2022 – not at its current charging speeds anyway. The MagSafe charger is slower than a wired connection via Lightning – like twice as slow. If you want to charge your iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 quickly, Apple’s MagSafe Charger is one of the most inefficient ways to do this. Why would you pay $40 for something that charges slower than a $5 cable? It just doesn’t make much sense when you put it in that context. The problem with Apple’s MagSafe Charger – save for the fact that it is only available on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 – is that it is pitifully slow by modern standards and, I’d argue, too expensive to bother with. ![]() Even more so when you compare it to the wireless charging speeds of some Android phones. Apple’s 15W wireless charging via its MagSafe Charger looks pathetic by comparison. My RealMe GT will do 65W wired charging, and its successor model, the RealMe GT 2 will apparently do 125W charging. Why? Because it is SLOW and is only capable of 15W charging speeds. With Apple’s MagSafe Charger it takes double the time, around 60 minutes. If you charge your iPhone with a wired connection via Apple’s Lightning cable, you’ll be able to charge your iPhone up from dead to around 50% in 28 minutes – or thereabouts. ![]() But the other reason is equally important too. Part of the reason for this is that only the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 support MagSafe. Especially amongst my iPhone-using friends. I do not know a single person that either A) prefers wireless charging or B) uses it instead of wired charging. But for convenience? Might Apple’s MagSafe Charger be worth a buy in 2022? Let’s find out… Apple’s MagSafe Charger is slower than a wired Lightning connection. ![]()
