    I never used an iPhone. Got one from work but put it in a drawer and kept using my Android.

    Magsafe? What does it change? A short google sounds like it’s NFC with magnets. What’s so special about it?

    I’m using a pixel 5 with grapheneOS. Battery lasts for two days easy and is 80% recharged in 90mins. I have a night stand that wireless charges the phone every night. What I’m trying to say is, battery is a non problem for me

      Magsafe doesn’t really change anything, they’ve literally just put magnets on the back of the phone. The most it’s used for is accessories, put the phone on a stand, have a wallet you can take off your phone, or so that their wireless charger stays in place. They still only have 15w wireless charging.

          You could also just use a battery case, or plug in an existing battery pack you have. Magsafe things are nice to have but not a revolutionary idea.

      It’s more Qi charging with magnets to align the wireless charger right. More efficient wireless charging, and opens up a lot of accessories.

      I use a MagSafe wallet and it’s reduced the number of things I carry with me to really just 2. Phone and car key sine the wallet is magnet attached to the phone.

      I also have a MagSafe charging stand that allows me to use standby mode and it turns my phone into a nightstand clock with my schedule and things displayed.

      There’s MagSafe battery packs, phone stands, car mounts, you name it.
