MagSafe Magnetic Charging
One similarity between the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro is their battery life. The phones provide passable battery life, however this is a rung down from 2019’s iPhones. I’ve typically been getting about just over four hours of usage for each full charge using 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi. Now, this is only a full day of usage, and has a small buffer amount of charge. For example, I could easily get at least a day-and-a-half from both the iPhone 11 and also the iPhone XR. Getting a full day’s usage is fine, but it would’ve nice to have more of a safety net for those days where there is a lot usage.
Speaking of charging, the company has gone with a rather interesting policy of stopping bundling power adaptors and earbuds with iPhones for environmental reasons. So all you will receive in their box – other than your iPhone 12 itself, is a USB C to Lightning cord. I do not think this is a big deal. Apple’s Earpods aren’t the best, & most people do have a power brick anyway. And the problematic part is Apple’s selection of cord. You will be needing a power brick with a USB Type C port to use it but if you are coming from an iPhone 11 Pro Max, your iPhone charger will have a USB connector.
However you can utilise an older cable & charger, however you’ll not get the quick charging times that the iPhone 12 can achieve. And if you want to buy a USB-C charging adaptor, you are spending $30 in order to buy one of these.
It’s Reffered To As MagSafe Because It Uses Magnets
Don’t forget, Apple also now has their convenient new wireless charging standard named MagSafe. This system consists of a circular shaped wireless charger that will magnetically snaps onto the rear of the iPhone 12. And this gives the best alignment to get faster wireless charge, and it means that you are able to use use your phone while it’s being wirelessly charged which you cannot with a standard charger. You can able to get a faster charge with a normal charger, but MagSafe can charge the iPhone 12 from zero to 40% in around half an hour.
Because it is Apple buying MagSafe is going to cost you more. You’ll need to spend nearly $65 for the charger itself, as well as $29 should you need a USB-C charging adaptor. And if you are wanting the magnets to snap to your case or cover, you will need to purchase a MagSafe case. The MagSafe charger can charge through most cases and covers, but it won’t stick to it. Apple’s MagSafe covers and cases start at $79.
And while there are aspects of Apple’s MagSafe that are OEM, it will function as a normal wireless charger that is compatible with any phone that uses it. The charge time will be a bit slower, however as fast. As of right now, MagSafe is a new, fun and costly accessory, and I’m interested in seeing where the system will lead to.
Because most of iPhone owners don’t need a MagSafe charger for the office, there sure is a lot of potential when it comes to accessories such as vehicle mounts where MagSafe will prove beneficial.
