Wireless charging is evolving—and it’s magnetic. You’ve probably seen the words MagSafe® or Qi2® tossed around lately, especially if you’re using a newer iPhone or checking out wireless accessories. But what do they actually mean?
What Is MagSafe and How Does MagSafe Work?
MagSafe® is Apple’s magnetic charging system, introduced with the iPhone 12. Instead of plugging in, MagSafe uses perfectly aligned magnets to snap your phone onto a charger or accessory. It charges faster than older Qi wireless tech and makes everyday tasks—like mounting your phone in the car or popping on a power bank—way more convenient.
MagSafe isn’t just for charging, either. Apple and third-party brands (like us at cellhelmet) use it to make snap-on wallets, grips, stands, and mounts that feel like magic.
What Is Qi2?
Qi2® (pronounced “chee two”) is the next-generation wireless charging standard. Built on the same magnetic principles as MagSafe, Qi2 brings those snap-to-align benefits to more brands and devices—not just Apple.
Backed by the Wireless Power Consortium, Qi2 is designed to unify the industry. You’ll start seeing it in Android phones, earbuds, and (in the future) even laptops! It charges faster, more efficiently, and with less heat than previous wireless standards.
The bottom line? Qi2 is the future—and it's based on the magnetic tech Apple helped popularize.
Why MagSafe and Qi2 Matter
- Faster, more consistent charging
- Precise magnetic alignment (no more waking up to a dead phone)
- No wires, no port wear
- Cross-device compatibility with Qi2
- Cleaner setups at home, in the car, or on the go
If you’ve got an iPhone 12 or newer—or any device that supports Qi2, including the latest Android models—you’re ready to tap into this magnetic ecosystem.
