Apple releases double MagSafe charger for 149 euros – Tablets and phones – News

Only then you always have to put your iPhone on it perfectly. I now also have a normal Qi charger for my iPhone XS and it happened about 3 times that I woke up and my battery was not charged. If I had an iPhone 12, I would buy a Magsafe charger right away. € 45 is hefty, but I think I think it’s worth it.

It costs 149 (and not 45) and then you have a charger without a charger. You still have to buy the USB power brick that you do need to be able to fast charge via the wireless charger.

Alternative: a Belkin Qi charger: those are desk stands. You put your device in it and it is always charging and they have them with different powers. Unfortunately it will not be as fast as with the magsafe charger I expect.

Wireless charging is not only often slower than with the cable. There is more to consider, it is not the most efficient way of charging when we look at the energy consumption .. A disadvantage of wireless charging can be the possible extra heat development from coil to coil, which is not good for you. battery (your device often gets warmer than via a cable). Your energy thus partially disappears to heat.

In the long term, Apple probably wants to get rid of charging connections and charging cords completely. By not already supplying chargers, they will probably soon get used to having to buy a wireless Magsafe charger. The cable may be supplied by Apple in the beginning, but eventually they will stop. All the more surprising the price of 149.00 for the cable with 2 charging pads.
