So magsafe charging doesnt really charge faster in a car since apple wont make the adapter for car
Brother.. this review was comical. Either you suck really bad at reviews or you are absolutely GENIUS.
Hi, would you be interested in reviewing our ZEERA 5-in-1 Magsafe Charger Stand？Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers. info@zeerawireless.com
Your a clown
@@b3at2 he’s a clown
I feel like they made this product as a first step to dropping the charging port on the iphone. Like they dropped the headphone jack.
This is 100 percent what Apple is doing. It doesn’t feel very Apple-like to have a USB C port on the iPhone 13.
Hope Apple doesn’t drop it for IPhone 13. We aren’t at that stage where portless will work.
Obviously lmao
@@cityplanner3063 yeah we are
I think that would be a mistake on their part to force users to wireless data transfer only. Also would be a major negative hit to wired CarPlay vehicles but maybe they’d sell an official wireless adapter if they did that. That would be kinda nice.
I love how the biggest complaint in this video isn't something inherent in the wireless charging or magsafe design just literally Apple being dumb about something that could have very easily at basically no cost been made better (slightly longer or detachable cable)
@Mutombe Apple is too clever for us mere mortals to understand
You can actually push MagSafe to the side to disconnect it. You don’t need 2 hands at all.
No Diddy
💯💯💯
You need wireless to reduce port connector damage. My roommate literally snaps connectors by falling asleep on her phone
Actually, you CAN remove the charger by only ONE HAND: just hold it, use your index finger to push it from one side to the other, and once it is no longer in the center, it pops off!!
I just posted a similar comment. This method also saves some wear and tear on the cable for those who have been pulling on the cord to remove it.
And most important for me... Some how I always mess up the charging port on my phones. So with wireless charging that won’t happened.
I’ve always used one hand to remove it.. I have no idea what he is even talking about.
Yea I use one finger to remove myself. This video is just bullshit Apple hating.
yup, all you need is one hand...
One major benefit of Magsafe vs wired charger: wired charging plugs can be finicky because they can get clocked with dust and gunk and then you can't charge your phone at all! Better to have at least the ability to charge your phone via Magsafe. Not saying your complaints aren't valid, but I can still see the value of this item.
I never had that problem ever with wired chargers
@@GreatGrandmasterWang I did. I had to wiggle the cord and hold it in a particular position to work. I tried a different Apple cable - same problem. I tried an electronic parts spray cleaner - nope. So, I just bought a MagSafe charger and the problem is solved.
Don't do apple bro
@@greeneyesms Would i rather be able to use my phone freely and like normal whilst charging with a wired charger, or switch to Magsafe because of a debris blockage that will take ages to happen anyway (and i could just buy a cleaning kit). I choose wired chargers!
Love the MagSafe. The charging port on my iPhone does not work anymore. Not sure why. Couldn’t charge my phone ‘til I bought the MagSafe.
Same. I guess it’s not „waterproof“ after all.
Here’s one hack: I used 2-sided tape to tape it down on the table or whatever. Bam! don’t need two hands anymore.
This is what I'm planning on doing when I get the magsafe charger
Here is another hack: a mobile phone is called like that because you can take it with you , let’s say on vacation ... the charger would be a good idea to have it with you too... but hey, it’s “glued” to the table .... too bad
@@tudorstanciu6588 Two sided tape is different than glue duh 🙄
Who da hell glues their chargers to the table ?
Pay attention 👍🏽
Simple solution: just put double sided tape on it and stick it to your desk. That's what I did. Works great in my home office. I prefer the magsafe charger over other wireless chargers because it's faster and, as you said, the magnets ensure that it's always alligned correctly.
That being said, I agree that it's a bit annoying that it sticks to your phone (if you don't use my solution). If you want a charger to bring around with you and don't mind the cable getting in the way then I would probably just get a regular wired charger..
Grovemade has a cool solution for this as well it has a holder for the charger and stands your phone upright at an angle
what double tape did you use if you don't mind me asking
@@kesiahruiz2894 Personally I used Gorilla tape. It's never going to come up with my phone. Way over kill though
Now I have to buy double sided tape too ?!
@@kefler187 and scissors or blade to cut the tape😂
The wireless benefit is setting it down with ease, not picking it up since taking off a wire doesn’t require looking for a port or a wire. I don’t think that’s a big that you need two hands to unplug. Instead, it’s a feature because you can use your phone while it charges unlike a regular wireless charger.
I saw the MagSafe charger as a direct replacement to the lightning cable, *not* wireless charging pads. People haven't ever gone on and on about why lighting cables are too short or require two hands, so I'm confused as to why this accessory is being held to a different standard?
What have you seen people say that was positive about the charger?
Making fun of apple gets views.
If it is a direct replacement for lightning then how can you justify the additional cost?
@@JerrySchulze The same way we justified AirPods from EarPods. Maybe one day Apple says no more lightening port.
Things change over time especially on the tech side, and it’s not like people paying extra for products from a premium brand like Apple is a secret.
@@kaydens6964 I have not problem paying apple prices. I just don't understand this item.
One option: embed it in a table. That way, it’ll clip on and off your phone fairly easily. Of course, designing a piece of furniture to use a specific puck that might not work with the next gadget Apple decide you need is rather insane.
lol
Let's not forget, not everyone owns a router to route the pocket needed to put the puck into the table...I mean I guess you could do it with a knife if you were really that desperate? I mean, everyone has a knife right ?
magDesk
@@kefler187 harbor freight my boy
@@aayesher9400 It was a bit of a joke lol, modifying a desk for an accessory that may only get used for a single generation of products.
3 years later and my MagSafe charger has NEVER unplugged from anything, It is so intuitive to remove the charger with a single finger while holding it in one hand I dont even notice I’m doing anything, and the cord has no outward damage, I have had a couple wire chargers tho, all that have broken within 6-12 months.
I’m so delighted to be poor. I don’t have the dilemma of making this purchase decision.
‘Mo money mo problems’
then why are you watching this....
@@kamalmostapha7222 entertainment
Must drag being a poor loser
@@JerrySchulze no*
I've had magsafe for a couple weeks and I can easily remove it with one hand.
I was about to say the same thing but figured that there might be loads of comments on that
Me too
Same
So is it a wireless charger?
Maybe he’s just weak
I’m a year late and then few, but I really wanted to say thank you for including captions! A lot of tech reviewers don’t include captions, which is so weird and frustrating. I can hear just fine, but really feel that having captions make it easier for me to look out (literally) for the details I’m interested in.
Thank you!
I try to add them with my scripted videos and sometimes I pay to have them added on others but I miss some now and then.
This video should be called: First-world problems 🙃
Says the guy watching a video for a unnecessary $40-60 accessory for an overpriced up to $1200 phone...
So is it a wireless charger...apple slave
@@JamesJones-ft6bv Yep... Looks like Apple wants to create more problems with solutions...

Right lol
Honestly I feel like y’all are complaining on everything lmaooooo
Ok apple slave
@@alokmehta6024 lmaooo Okay buddy no need to complain
@@D_0_ yea
That's because he’s smarter than Apple’s employees
@@leandrolucato true true but Its up to the Ppl to buy it I bought one cuz My family all wanted to use my charger so i got the magsafe one And honestly they haven’t asked for it since lol
My truck has a 120v outlet just under the display screen. I keep the anker cube and magsafe plugged in all the time. It’s pretty convenient as well. Connect my phone, lay it on my console while I drive, done. The three foot cord is actually perfect for vehicle applications. The 120v outlet doesn’t stay powered up when the truck is off like the regular car charging port does so I don’t worry about battery draining issues. When I’m not using it, I just slide the puck In between the middle console seat to keep it out of the sun. I have one for the house but I rarely use it since the 12 pro max holds a charge for a good while.
Nice! I have been trying to find a way to rig it up in my 2020 Ram. Tried a few things but nothing stable yet.
Honestly the only reason why I’d invest in MagSafe at this point is for the Belkin charging stand. It would consolidate the two power bricks I plug into my outlet, and make a nice nightstand piece. I probably would seldom use the MagSafe puck on its own. Honestly a 30W brick and a decent Anker cable is the way to go!
Agree with all of that.
My black silicone case already discolored it. If RUclips is running, it will not charge and still get hot. I’m not too happy with it.
Wait, it won't charge when you are using it?
Haha well gaming or RUclips the phone gets too hot and the charge will sit at 84%. Also holding the metal puck with the phone is heavier than a wire. Im pretty sure I’m returning the MagSafe ha
Thanks for the info.
No problem!
I have not had an issue with charging and gaming at all some have mentioned. As long as your using an official apple 20w charger charging while gaming. An this was with CODM, pubg, N GENSHIN IMPACT ON HIGHEST SETTINGS.. IN OTHER WORDs apple chargers only.
Sometimes u have to improvise! Get an extension cord. The charger allows you to orient the cord where you want it. The magnets’ keep charger attached to phone securely while moving phone. All in all a good setup for hands on during charging.
wow, two hands to take off the charger, two hands!!!! unbelievable!!! how dare they????
well yeah. whats the difference to plugging a cable in and out? its basically pointless
@@daz3169 difference is that you just lay your phone down and it aligns and charge.
@@MasterPiece-rg7ed you can align the lead end into the phone. not really wireless its still connecting onto something and you have to use hands to unclip it off.lol.
I agree 2 hands!!!!!!! What are apple thinking
@@daz3169 iprefer this over the non magnetic qi charge..
No matter what the charger, I’ve always thought the 3” cord length is a lame way to save a few cents. For all the money we spend on smartphones (again, iOS or other) anything under a 10” cord is an insulting slap in the face. I now buy my charging cords from my usual 3rd party but since Apple decided to stop sending the chargers with the device I’d like the option to have them keep their lame crappy 3” cord as well. Since they seem to think the wall wart is with $40 then give us the option to get just the device and drop $60 off the price. I could then use that money to buy my 10” cord and wall wart while still pocketing the remaining $20. Fair is fair .
indeed ah why did they even bothered to put the short cable in the box.
to be honest i left it there as indeed i use longer cables or wired or magsafe charging stations.
I keep it there in the box as spare.
and that magsafe cable? jesus what a slap in the face as well. totally useless.
they indeed would rather drop the price from the d’évidé itself
hi my old phone was iphone 8 and now i got iphone 13 mini and looking at getting magsafe charger as im sick of buying cables every so many months trying different brands and all breaking on me. so now im looking at wireless charging. i had a apple watch series 7 a year ago and sold it and i hear now u can use that watch charger to charge iphones but i dont have that charger anymore. i also got a apple 140w power brick for my macbook pro m3 max.
i got the new Anker maggo ultra thin one. its good
The benefit is you don’t wear your lightning port. I pull it off really fast in a hurry. You can’t really pull a lighting cord quickly without wondering if you’re going to harm your phone or cable. I also like how I can charge my phone and listen to wired headphones at the same time
I love how your videos are so honest!
I returned mine because the cable was way too short.
Very much appreciated!
I double sided taped mine to my night stand so I can still see notifications and it still unlocks with Face ID love it
You can definitely slide the puck off w/ one hand🤦🏾♂️
Feel free to comment on why you disagree.
You do have some good points. But I think it is same length as the normal cord so people will be use to that. It will help people that do not have wireless earphones and need to charge, play and listen at the same time. But it does suck that you can only get the 15w of power by using a 20w brick?! That is crazy. That is like having a Mac power source and at the point you would get superfast charging even with a lightning cord 😄. I use an Ipad brick and that is only 12w🤔.
SuperStar's FastCars! But it actually leaves scratches on the phone and if you charge it with the silicon case it still leaves marks. Which kind of bothers me. And everything else said in this video I could agree.
Thanks
One thing is I am huge fan of wireless charging.
Another that I broke so many lightning cables, as normal cable has disadvantage that it goes from bottom of your phone, and you can not change it. Now cable can go from any direction. About how long is charged, that is same as normal cable.
And the feature that it does not disconnect easily is imo huge advantage - you can use phone while wirelessly charging. Now when I lie in bed, and am tired of holding phone so put it vertically on myself, I finally will not bend the cable.
It basically is replacement of cable, advantages - you can direct it in any angle, you do not need any port anymore. It provides real benefits. And is only bit slower.
This is huge step to portless iPhone, as now you can charge wirelessly while using phone. You really did not understand advantages and this video was just, honestly, not that good as it was just from look at disadvantages.
Fair points, but you can also use an extension cord for your power adapter. Also, if you use a multiport charger that connects to the outlet with a cord, it also solves the problem with having to be really close to an outlet. Good points about having to use both hands to remove it…magsafe seems to be better suited for stationary docks.
That's what I did, I bought a little cable extender and it works well with the charger.
Me: “How hard would it be for Apple to include a 5ft-6ft braided charging cable in the box with iPhones?”
Apple: “It’s treason then...”
😂
This guy seriously needs to use two hands to remove the charger, like a cave man. Just use your thumb. You don't need two hands. These complaints are stupid.
Planning on getting one of these to use as a car charger so that I can keep my aux cord plugged in. Kind of pricey but when you compare it to the price of traditional wireless car chargers that mount to vents or the dash, it evens out. I have had numerous issues with traditional wireless car chargers.
This is exactly why i want it. To charge and still be able to plug and play
why the f are you using aux over Bluetooth?
Went to Ross to look for the cheap counter item products, found a car phone mount. It even chargers your phone and works really well all for 12 bucks. Something cheap and simple would suit you better.
To me the benefit is not having to use usb cord 3 of my iPhones charging port have gotten lose and stopped working. Also I have used wireless chargers before and it’s super annoying when you place it overnight and because it wasn’t in specific spot it didn’t charge.
I see the main advantages of the MagSafe charger are that it saves having to line up the port and plug and it saves wear and tear on the port on the ‘phone through repeated connections and disconnections. Extension USB cables are available quite cheaply. To complain that you have to use both hands to disconnect sounds ridiculous to me
I see the real potentional via, it is a one time purchase to sort of replace micro usb.
1 i never destroyed an iphone port in 12 years of usage and only a few model change
2 the purpose of going wireless is … not having to handle a cable
3 magsafe stations are the way to go imho
@@farodopi5170 I just hate micro usb with a passion. Who thought it was a good charging format should have been casterated due to how fast you got to replace those, but iphone ports seem well designed.
The magsafe charger also leaves circle burn marks around the magnets or where the apple logo is. It also leaves burn marks on the apple leather case and silicone
1)It’s easy to disconnect with 1 hand and definitely easier doing it 1 handed vs the lightning connector.
2) you can also glue it or use 2 sided tape to stick it to a stand for one handed connection and removal.
3) The short cord is not an issue if you use it as solely as an overnight charger by your bedside.
4) lightning connectors burn out if you try to use the phone while charging. I haven’t had that issue with wireless charging.
It seems like you’re being a bit over the top with your tear down of the charger. A chair table and plant….
You can just tape the mag safe charger to the desk and it will solve your “require 2 hands to operate” problem
"Good when you playing games too, because the cord will not get in your way" so i guess this statement not so true at all am i right?
I guess you could do that. Or maybe super glue.
its a magnet, you can just use your index finger to push it sideways off your phone to disconnect the charger
I’m getting it to avoid breaking lightning cables from being bent at the connection to the phone
@@max-_-6352 I found myself removing it by the cord. I think others will too and cause the cord to break.
Mount it into your desk. It's very easy. Just a holesaw, drill and some cable mounts. It doesn't move when you pick up the phone. Plus I have a power outlet (powerboard) mounted into my desk so the cable length is a nonissue. There are heaps of videos on YT on how to do this.
nice!
“If ur willing to spend $40”... then goes on and recommends u get 30 Watt adapter plus long usb c cord*
Who all watching after buying it ?
WTF did i just buy !
If you guys do not mind there is also a similar magsafe by anker which can charge at 7.5W but is 5 feet long and is able to work with any usb c adapter. It is also cheaper than apple and you can use anker nano which is a 20W adapter but with less price than apple.
The benefit I see is cable orientation for wired charging. I tend to set my phone upright on a table or my chest when I lay down, I can’t do that plugged into the lightning port.
You actually told the truth about how you feel about this! How refreshing. Nice to watch an honest video w/o being interrupted with a sponsorship info of stuff that's completely unrelated. The hallway fiasco was pretty funny! Love that you took a side instead of hmming and hawwing. Thanks! Thumbs upp'ed.
My application is that I want to connect it to a stand and use it for work at my desk. It easier to just pull it than to unplug constantly. My situation is unique though and I think its worth it for people using it at a desk or attached to a charging station where it doesn't require 2 hands to pull apart.
1. Third party longer cables are available at very competitive prices.
2. It’s not true that third party power bricks only charge at 10W. Anker’s Nano 20W charging brick actually has a throughput of 16W, which is faster and cheaper than Apple’s own equivalent one. As long as the brick supports Power Delivery 3.0 it will provide power at the advertised speed.
3. No wireless chargers are designed to be hand held, so taking a dig at Apple for that leads me to believe that you created this video with the intention to discredit the product, instead of presenting an accurate and unbiased review.
4. This product claims to wirelessly charge MagSafe compatible iPhones at 15W, and it does what it says on the box.
So I say you should 100% buy it if you need it. Hope you found my honest review useful. Enjoy! 😆
You’re awesome dude
I was thinking the same
The best magsafe review out there.
i agree with him. a wireless charger only make sense if you don’t need 2 hands to use it. otherwise it’s just a wire …. cable..
this item is .. a cable nothing else.
the whole purpose of going wireless is … not having a cable to connect to the phone
a magsafe charging dock make much better sense than this cable.
you can still use it with one hand
Seems like a good backup option if your charging port is ever broken
this is why i had to buy it for my dad
Hiii! As a first time iphone user and having the iphone 13 pro, I'm so happy I came across your video!! I was actually planning to buy this (together with the power adapter brick and wire thingy for the earphones) cause I thought it would be convenient and whatnot, now I realize I dont even need it! Plus it would really save me more money! So THANK YOU!!! 🥰
Nice. Never thought of those issues you mentioned. Seems the benefits don’t outweigh the inconveniences.
Doesn’t look like it for me.
I bought one recently and it’s the slowest of the slow. It never reaches the advertised watts
Nice video. How long does it take to charge full
Sorry, I don’t remember. Usually I charge at night.
Since when is just pluging in the charger that hard....
yep
@@SynthD just feel for the port then plug it in.
I think ima buy this lol my port got mest up so I guess this would only benefit a person like me that Dosent wanna waste 200$ at Apple to fix their iPhone lol
The biggest benefits of wireless chargers are not tripping on cord and the no more in and the phone port constantly which eventually becomes loose or bent then phone doesn’t charge at all or has to be at weird angle and not be bumped.
If you get a MagSafe STAND, then it's magic. The stand is the key. Same with Qi actually, having an upright stand means you can't misalign it.
That’s the issue with me though. I already have a lovely wireless stand that charges both my iPhone and watch.
What is the point of getting a MagSafe one?
Because it is a virtual stand my iPhone has never slid off while charging so I didn’t both changing it.
Have you ever heard of extension cable
No, what's that?
I’d rather have to use two hands to disconnect the charger, than have to awkwardly hold a regular wireless charger on the back of my phone if I want to use it
who does that?
@@JerrySchulze if you’re laying in bed and your battery is nearly dead for example
@@JerrySchulze or want to play a game or just use the phone without it having to be laid on a wireless charger
I love the MagSafe charger I purchased with my iPhone 12. I especially like not putting wear on the lightning port. When I am streaming music to my audio system from my phone I just leave the phone on the charger. I use the Apple charger. I expect to use this stuff for years so it’s fine on cost. A gamer? Get a USB-C extension cord.
You are absolutely right. I’ve returned mine. Now thinking about belkin 3 in one. Would you please review this. Many thanks!
Coming from android since the 1st galaxy, you guys are complaining about nothing. It’s honestly not that bad. Wire being short is probably all I’ll agree with.
I like your review a lot. I bought the MagSafe charger last week and I have to admit that for the price, it isn’t worth it at all.
Thanks for sharing!
It can save the lightning port from potential damage from plugging and unplugging the cable.
Most people don’t understand the actual benefit from magsafe charger / battery pack too.
These are meant to protect your battery from getting too hot to the point that it might put your charge on hold in worst case scenarios.
Unlike corded chargers they communicate with your phone and deliver the optimal charge while using it, otherwise in normal conditions they would max out the charging capabilities. Hence protecting your phone from your own usage.
4:19 That Nest Thermostat is really high on the wall. Has to be 6 feet up.
I just measured and the center of the Nest is 59 1/2". The camera was low and angled up. lol
I agree with your points, except one. I’ve never needed 2 hands to remove mine. Magnets have a pretty weak shear strength, so it’s easy to just flick off laterally with the hand you grab the phone with. I agree the cord is just too damn short tho
Despite being more costly, I actually like using magsafe charger on my iphone. It saves the normal wear and tear on the lightning port that comes from plugging and unplugging the lightning cable on a daily basis, and I wouldn't be surprised if Apple one day decides to eliminate the lightning port on future iphones. Complaining about having to use two hands to disconnect the magsafe charger from your phone is really just petty nitpicky complaint. Not to mention the fact that you can always get a longer cable if the 3ft cable is too short.
You can't replace the cable.
it only comes in 1m version so you can eventually buy an extension cord for your adapter but that’s it.
a dock station. is a wary better option to me.
this si just a cable. no difference with a lightning cable for me.
i never wore any of my iphone port.
While the magsafe does really wear the cases if you are not careful.
I am a happy owner of a 2-in-1 Wireless Charger Stand with MagSafe 15W
you can detach with one hand by simply twisting a bit your phone when you take it.
charges your airpod at the same time.
cable is long enough and included.
you can charge horizontally or vertically for video watching or video calls.
that’s for me a good usage of the magsafe feature of the iphone. together with the walled and magsafe battery pack.
but most of all it’s super clean and fancy on your desk.
your iphone is literally floating in air with this charger and it’s super reachablke.
so nice
Does the magnet only work on iPhones or is it just as strong on other phones?
@@aigoated I believe that the magnets only work on the iPhone 12 and 13 models. You can use the magsafe charger as a wireless charger for other phones that use the Qi wireless standard. Although, I tried it with my iPhone 11 before I got my 13 and it didn’t work that well. I hope this helps! :)
@@nicholasrobinson6353 thank you! I also figured out that you can buy a magnetic adhesive that attaches to any phone to make it work. However the only problem is heat if you have a wireless charger that heats up easily.
Plug the charger to an extension cord, problem solved 😂
But you would HAVE TO USE YOUR BRAIN to do that.
@Cold As The Poles I guess amazon sells USB-C extension cables.
Yeah everything he was moaning about was easily solveable
FFS...God forbid you use a few muscles to remove your phone from a magnetic charger. Here's a crazy thought...use an extension cord...Here's a free tip...if you want to avoid pulling the plug out of the wall when you stand up, don't place the mag safe charging wire across your torso. I know, crazy, but it could resolve all your problems. Adapt and overcome. You're welcome.
This is the silliest petty review i have seen
You are right, that’s a dumb complaint! 🤦🏻♂️
The way I look at it its twice as fast doesn't effect the connecting port and you need to hands to take a standard wire out of the phone anyway.
these poeple gonna be maaaaad next year when the port's removed
I thought the whole point was that this wirelessly charges your phone while you can also use it. That would defeat the point if you didn't have to remove it with 2 hands. The length of the cord is the reason I have a problem with it.
yeah it’s definitely redundant but the reason they are doing it is to help people transition. I believe when the technology is there (fully charge an iphone in minutes so you don’t have to wait) they will ditch the cords and ports.
look i agree with some of your complaints, but it does help the battery life stay at a high capacity and that’s what i’m aiming for keeping my iphone healthy
Complaining about needing two hands to remove the charger sounds like quite a stretch. Hardly a dealbreaker.
My point is that the magnetic connection of this specific charger is not a benefit over lightning or Qi, simply for charging. I think stands with MagSafe will be a benefit.
I use the MagSafe charger and quickly developed the skill of removing it one handed. I can leave the charging puck on my desk and not fiddle with grabbing a cable, brick, and crawling under my desk.
@@JerrySchulze But the magsafe is a benefit over lightning. There's no way you can tell me that if you had to plug and unplug both of those 20 times in a row that they would both have seemed equally easy to do. Trying to line up the lightning cable into that tiny tiny port is definitely more tedious, especially in low lighting.
Claiming MagSafe is easier because you don't need to mess with plugging/unplugging is a stretch, too. That's his point. It's canceled out by the fact that it handles exactly the same as a Lightning cable when you're done using it.
@@LL-fi4rr Hardly. Handles the same “when you’re done using it.” Right, but hooks up when you start to use it way easier than lightning. The biggest appeal to me is that I use a regular wireless charger now and if I get the phone off center by just a bit, I don’t charge overnight. MagSafe eliminates that worry. I haven’t purchased it yet myself, but I most likely will soon. To me, the pros outweigh the cons. YMMV.
This guy complained about having to use two hands 😂😂
I can complain about anything. In general I talk about the things I Like. Check out my iPhone 12 Pro video or iPad Air 4.
@@JerrySchulze will do
Well, this is wireless charger. Basically you put your cellphone on the charger like you put your cellphone on the table. If it won’t disconnect when you grab your cell then it’s useless.
It kind of defeats the purpose of a wireless charger.
I agree
In a world where fast wired charging is reaching 100W or more, wireless charging doesn't even come half as close. Not only does it waste your time, but it also wastes electricity
I think you missed the point of the puck charger.
Man, am impressed how you thought about the whole scenarios. ❤️❤️
Thank you!
Yeah this guy is seriously thick. It’s funny people like this exist, at least it made me laugh
LMAO, that was the comedy of the video. Like who would take a charger that's clearly meant to stay in one spot and do all this with it...I'm thinking, "Is he making fun of the mentally challenged "????? . I'm not sure if I should make fun of him or give him a medal.
Actually in the netherlands the outlets are on chest level for our average height so it’s an actual good buy for me
Oh, that’s interesting.
echt een koopje! love nederland.
I’ll be impressed when we can connect to the computer through that MagSafe
right this is the only reason I use the other charged
MagSafe is good for accessibility, many disabled people with spinal cord injuries can’t plug in their devices, and wireless charging is hard too.
Great point! Thanks so much for pointing that out.
wait a minute, if disabled people can't plug to their device, how do they separate MagSafe from their device?
@@fire010g disability is complicated and everyone has unique circumstances, but for people with c4/c5 spinal cord injuries and similar, they have hand movement but no finger dexterity, meaning they can drag the charger off the top of the phone, but have no ability at all to plug in a cord. It is impossible for somebody with no finger movement to plug in a charger, but easy with arms and wrists.
@@J38x729 In that case, I think the non-magnet wireless charger might be the better choice, because they can grab the phone with both hands, instead of one hand on the charger another hand on the phone.
@@fire010g appreciate the suggestion, however I have firsthand experience with a person with the condition above and know the regular wireless pad is not as good. while the magnetic wireless charger would require 2 hands, the issue is more lining it up. its easier to hold the phone over the magnetic pad than over a regular QI pad which is finicky. A solution we came up with to solve this is to attach the magsafe charger to the table so he can pick the device off or knock it off the charger than grab the phone.
2:28 the ONLY advantage for qi wireless charging or magsafe is to reduce the usage of charging port. in which its broken, it can cost up to 100$
But they could’ve given a longer cable 🤷🏻♀️
“You still have to reach with 2 hands” 🤦♂️ this guy lazy
true
So, I’m interested to get one of this for the new 15 pro max. Sometimes i use it while cooking and i like that it’s stays on it, and also i can move the cable on every side. Combined with 3£ ikeea wood stand, it’s amazing
some of these complaints are the most nitpickiest I've ever seen. The most reasonable complaints you had were the price and the fact that it doesn't come with a charging brick.
You can use a command strip under the charger. Then you can lift it up no problem with one hand.
I was thinking of getting a MagSafe charger for my room when I’m laying down it should be good there but this guy made excellent points it would suck if it’s your every day charger that u have in your bag to take every where in case your iPhone dies
And buying multiple of these for your house or office would kind of suck if u always have to pull it off a regular wireless charger would be better then
Good points. Thanks for the comment.
I Velcro’d my MagSafe to my bedside so I can do it with one hand lol and I can also unvelcro it so I can use it while I’m in bed. Worth it haha 😎
lol Velcro for the win!
Using a smartphone whilst it is wirelessly charging. Yeah, if you want to help kill your phone.
Wireless charging is heating your phone enough as it is without you pumping more processor and gpu heat into it 🙈
@Jessie No. I read reports from engineers and professional (and non professional) testers though 😉
@@TheArpage Will also burn in the OLED screen. Quickly.
I did the same
you think too far. you can easily slide it off with one hand. and just buy an extension cord for your couch, table etc. (thats what most people with deep desks do)
If I had one of these, I’d stick it to a counter/nightstand etc with some good double sided mounting tape. Wouldn’t have to worry about pulling the charger off the phone each time. Would essentially function like a regular Qi charging base
I have blue tacd it to my desk and it’s awesome.
“I need 2 hands to remove it” the point of the design is for it to stay on is so you can use your phone while charging wirelessly.
Use a lightning cable them
You can just hold the wire to take off the MagSafe charger
I think the magnet is pretty neat yes you have to put in a little more work to take it off the phone but you can be on your phone laying down without worrying about it falling off so I like it. And you don’t have to worry about the problem of getting shortages due to bending from having it on your chest or table while charging and scrolling through your phone. To me it’s saving money from constantly buying chargers every 3 months.
Surely if you’re buying new chargers (portable battery packs?) every few months then you’re buying the worst performing brands/models?I’ve had my ankers for at least 4 years and still going strong
Oh no! The horror! I have to pick up my phone to use it 😭😭😭
I'd really like to see a review or your input on the best pad for JUST a phone. I don't have pods/watch. Also, what you think about one for a car. THANKS!!!
Hey Jerry thanks for the video, I was looking up stuff about MagSafe charging and was curious if I was missing anything over the lightning to usb C since the case I bought isn't magsafe compatible.
Anyway I picked up an Anker 33w dual port charger from walmart today, the usb c port is 18w and the usb a port is 15w. According to Apple support documentation, i should be good for fast charging. It says 18w and better, and it says third party chargers with usb power delivery, and the usb c port is marked with PD. I just upgraded 2 days ago to an iPhone 12 pro Max from a 7 plus.
The other benefit I've already found with the Anker Charger is, it can also charge my iPad air 2 at the same time as the new phone, and I don't need to use the separate iPad charger now.
So, i actually got more from Anker, than I would have from Apple for about the same price.
That is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
I agree. I don’t think there are actual benefits to this “wireless” charging pad over wired fast chargers if you need 2 hands to unplug it. But I’m really looking forward for the Belkin 3-in-1 Magsafe charger since I use AirPods and the Apple Watch.
BTW great video
Thanks! I am excited about future magsafe accessories. Hopefully more than wallets.
There are - cable can come out of any way, and you safe space by no need for port and also get better water proofness, in future
@@DepressedMusicEnjoyer You are right. But I usually don’t use my device when it’s charging so for me it’s not a big deal and I don’t plan on diving with my phone anytime soon.
lol
Wired fast charging degrades and damages batteries minimally twice as fast as wireless charging does. When you have a phone that easily lasts a full day as most iPhones do it’s pretty pointless.
I just hooked mine to a extender 12 ft I got room for whatever much easier than all that you went through
Honestly, most of these complaints were petty
