Watched several other videos from major RUclipsrs who didn't have this vital information....now I see they were just peddling "cool" gadgets with little substance. Thank you - you've saved me money and time!
I am sorry this might sound like a dumb question... I am looking for a case for my iPhone. I wonder if I should get a case with magsafe or just a normal case without it? How necessary is the magsafe function? Do you recommend that I buy it? Thank you!
Thank you for an informative video! I decided to watch it because I’m upgrading my 11 to the 15 (that has usb-c) and wanted to explore MagSafe!
High quality content! Clear, synthetic, useful. Ty, keep going
Is the "made for magsafe" another artificial limitation? Or is there some real technical benefit with official chargers?
Great video and I appreciate your efforts. Helpful information. Also, your home is peaceful and classy.
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!
On Amazon at a discounted price right now this video helped a lot
My worries is about getting iPhone hot while changing and making my battery healthy get down fast. So I use the cable with an original 10w iPad Air 2 charger on my iPhone.
Is ther any difference in these points compared with fast charger and wireless charger?
Great vid! Thinking about getting mine this month!
Made it this far...thanks for the insights...just getting a 13pro Max and reading as much as I can about MagSafe. I decided to go w/ a 45w Anker Nano II and may look again at the Belkin. Agreed that you have to read the fine print to see just what wattage is being dedicated to charge the device. Good video!
Which case did you go with? Thanks!
High quality content! Thank you for sharing 👍🏼
Thanks man, appreciate you watching!
Very helpful content. Thanks so much for this.
“See you there” lol 😂 Great Job. Good video!!!
is it true that it leaves a ring mark on your phone overtime?
See you there. Thanks for the info. Very helpful
Excellent stuff, thank you.
See you there :D
Really liked your take on Apple's s stubbornness on not using 'Type C' cable
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Thank you for this informative video!
Well done video. Thanks for this.
Great video do you know how much pounds does this charger weighed
Thank you so much! This is the only video that responds to the question whether Magsafe is worth or not. 📈👍🏼 Not getting it.
Should I buy Magsafe Charger or Magsafe Battery Pack and use it as pass through wired charging?
Thanks
I think it depends on your usage. If you find yourself running out of charge regularly then go battery pack. If you’re good on a daily basis or wind up at a desk during the day when you can just pop it on the MagSafe charger to grab some juice, then that one works. Disclaimer is that I have not had a hands on with the battery packs. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
so this was before mkbhd made the video, very interesting take on the inevitable magsafe use!
Thanks, Cameron. This was a really thoughtful and intelligent look at MagSafe. Thanks!
Thanks for the great video. You deserve more subs. I am glad I found your channel. Thanks. Subscribed already.
Thanks for the kind words and for the sub!
See You There !
… this week I got a 20 Eur “off the shelf” with a 20W brick and it reminded me that … a couple years ago I got to the same conclusion as now: It’s a drag to get the puck aligned with my Xʀ
And when it does align and then in a couple of minutes it simply stops charging at all ? Bummer …
Maybe it because of the brand (CHOETECH) never heard of it before but it has been a while since I’ve been looking for USB-C power bricks …
Is it okay to charge the phone on the magsafe even if it’s near full battery. Or does it effect its life cycle
Got an answer yet?
Really solid video. MagSafe is more of a money making thing that’s maybe slightly more convenient. I can see MagSafe charging dashboard mounts being useful or 2/3 in 1 MagSafe charging pads being convenient since it can charge multiple devices using a single wire and electrical outlet. The MagSafe certified 2/3 in 1 pads tend to be pretty expensive though.
All good points. Thanks for watching and glad you liked it!
I find MagSafe disconnects and reconnects randomly throughout the night. even worse when my phone is backing up or restoring.
I taped mine to the night stand. Works great.
Amazing review buddy.
Thanks for watching!
Well explained. Subscribed.
Thanks!!
Very informative… thank you
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
is it true that the 15w apple puck will only deliver 15w if paired with the apple 20w brick? non apple will only do 10w?
NOP
Quick question will the MagSafe charge faster without a case?
That’s an exact question that I had when testing. I’ve got a video coming soon that will answer it (sorry for the cliffhanger). The result was not what I expected.
Will it charge 15 w with anker 20 w power brick for iphone 13 pro
Yep!
See you there!
After a year of charging! What's you're battery health percentage at?
get a magsafe power bank and 6-10' cable I know it's not 15w but dual purpose
Thank you!
Why don’t they just make the charger with a longer cord? Sounds pretty simple.
Can the MagSafe charger charge the iPhone plugged in with the 5W charger for slow charging
You can certainly use a lower wattage power adapter with the MagSafe charger, but keep in mind that it's USB-C so it won't work with the old standard 5W charger that previously came in the box with iPhones.
@@CameronDoughertyTech what if i use a hub to connect it to a lower wattage charger
See you there 👍🏻
Thank you for the review, very informative
if I use a USB-C male to female cable extension with the Apple mag safe charger and the Apple wall charger, will it deliver the 15w charging speed?
Thanks again for the amazing content
Great question. As long as you have a decent cable I wouldn’t expect you to see a difference using an extender. Wish I could say definitively but I’m definitely not an electrical engineer, haha. If you try it, definitely let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
The longer the cable, the smaller power you're getting. It's pure electrical engineering.
Think the same, but instead of electricity, you have water. The longer the pipe, the smaller the pressure.
Just use any old regular extension cord to bring the charging brick and cable closer to your iPhone., I have stopped using extenders due to issues in the past and now just use a regular AC extension cord easily purchased for a $1
Thanks man
What’s the battery health like after 1 year of charging with the Magesafe charger?
Surely not a good idea for Apple to get rid of the lightning port if it’s only going to damage battery health in the long run?
Good question. Just checked mine. After 13 or 14 months of mixed use (some MagSafe, some lightning) I’m at 93% maximum capacity. Apple’s claims on their website are that the battery should retain at least 80% capacity after 500 charges. With that in mind, assuming I charge roughly once per day, I’m not aging the battery any faster than Apple anticipates. I’ve likewise seen anecdotes of people accusing MagSafe and wireless charging of degrading batteries faster but I’ve yet to see any hard data/study proving that it’s the cause rather than coincidence. I wish I had the resources to execute such a study. Maybe someday!
Did you charge your iPhone with or without a case?
I’ve done both. The battery is fine with the wireless charging so far .
@@dylancarroll3664 hey bro can you please update your battery health after using just magsafe?
See you there! Great video man, I'm going to change from an iPhone 6 to an iPhone 13 it'll be so much different! Also, it could be nice if you did a video explaining the differences between the different AirPods Generations. Just subbed to your channel, keep it up!:)
Wow, 6 to 13 is indeed a big jump. Kudos to you for making the 6 last so long, though. I've got an AirPods video in the works just for you! Should be posted in the next 2 weeks. Sorry, slow turnaround time for my one man operation. =P
How is your battery health after a year?
I really wish you could just lose the cord all together. Charge the magnet (with the cord) detach it from the cord, stick it on the back of your iPhone and GO!! While i do see one or two good things about the way it is now, Personally there’s no use for this until it’s completely “wireless”. For now I’ll just stick with my usb-c lightning cables.
That’s okay….everything was very interesting…..!!!
See you there! :D
New subscriber from the philippines :) thank you for the informative video.. im planning to get this magsafe duo for 80bucks for brand new, the seller just won it as a prize.
Awesome, thanks for the sub!
If anything the 15watts makes it really hot and not cool
Great review.
Keep the negatives! I want you know!
Love mine
Aww you're a cutie pie!, Thanks a bunch for the explanation.
See you there.
See you there :D
Thank you so much for clarification about apple magsafe. I think just buy the cheap belkin magnetic 🧲 wireless charger. It could work with MagSafe as it labeling , but just provide 7.5w for iphone. It is ok due to less warm compared to apple 15w MagSafe wireless charger
The length of the cable really doesn’t matter that much considering you shouldn’t be using the phone while charging. I’ve noticed nobody ever mentions the temperature the MagSafe charging puck gets. It can reach up to 103°, which is below Apple temperature threshold of 113°. But I don’t think prolonged charging at that temperature is good for your battery. Anyone have battery health issues after using the MagSafe?
Magsafe actually keeps battery a lot healthier from everyone i asked and also only using it now myself vs people who dont
@@ItsTimoCruz I can assure you MagSafe does not keep the battery “healthy”. MagSafe increases charging temperature by a lot compared to wireless charging. The best way to charge your phone and keep your battery optimal is by using the cord that came with the iPhone. I use the stock cord along with a 20W adapter for fast charging and the phone stays cool.
Who says you shouldn’t use your phone while charging? Fake news. Your battery will degrade no matter what.
@@MarcusDET you shouldn’t use you iphwjioe charging isn’t fake new, that is a fact when it comes to battery life. It also depends on what your doing. When you play games or something that uses a lot of RAM and power, it will heat up your phone a lot more.
you are amazing sir
Thanks so much!
See you there
My 4.5 year old Samsung Note 9, wireless chargers at 15 watts.
see u there
"See you there" :-)
I love my ring!
Ah man, that makes one of us. But I’m glad that someone out there likes it!
I get calls of complaints from family members all the time with issues from iPhone and Apple store. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with this. I'll stick with my galaxy
BTW USB-C is now on the iPhone 15 but this is thanks to the EU forcing Apple to change, what is the US Govt doing for consumers?
The last thoughts on the removal of lightning port relevant prediction for this date of posting this comment. Eventually getting there
They really do need to release one with a 6' cord
Magsafe dont guve 15w charge if you are using a not apple brick.
14:16 “And what all the other brands mocked but plagiarised, eventually”!!! 😏
Too short? Just right! You can't use it on travels, and in bed it will be as annoying as a cable. So desk IS use case.
The ac turning on mid video
TLDR?
👍👍👍👍📲
There are many thoughts that run through my head… Truthfully I think MagSafe as a concept is GENIUS*
However please don’t remove my lightning cable… If it goes to USB C, I’m up for it, but remove the port… SURE* Water resistance everything, less points of failure* the amount of times I’ve had random stuff go into the port and had to clean it out…
I know we are gonna end up with MagSafe only*
But my one big question is this :
When they announced it my initial reaction was : Can I stick my phone to my fridge? (Spoiler alert, No ya can’t, it weighs too much.)
But could you : stick the puck to the fridge or something else magnetic?
I was thinking maybe* Get a white board kind of thing, anything I’m not using, magnetically attached to it… from the IPad, to the iPhone, the charger etc. providing it’s got strong enough magnets,
That would be awesome* and in a lower space environment, Not having shelves for instance, and just a dedicated space to attach them to, makes a deal of sense to me.
Even if the phone can’t stick (I have 12 pro max.) on its own, I’m sure MagSafe puck attached to the phone could hold the phone* if that’s all it takes.
I love stevejobs I love apple 🍎
I don’t think MagSafe is going to be used because the tech doesn’t work
Pathetic from Apple crippling charging speeds for people not willing to pay the magsafe tax and making things worse for consumers by holding back on USB C.
All planned obsolescence and more money for Apple 🍎
You’re so cute 🥰
This guy doesnt understand this product primary purpose.
THIS SUSTAIN NOT CHARGES
Update from the future:
You can buy MagSafe stickers to put on your phone cases as of today 9/3/22
See you there!
