Will magnetic mounts affect Magsafe on new iPhones

I have seen the new i phone 12 pro max the case and wirless chargers run on a magnet connection. I am pre ordering the phone as soon as it comes out but in my car i have a phone holder that requires a magnetic sticker to be stuck on the back of the phone i was wondering would this effect the use of the mag safe charger and phone case

Here’s my experience, I’m using Joyroom car magnetic mount, and it works without the magnetic piece, meaning the MagSafe ring attaches to the device without adding another magnet.


Adding another magnet, will not allow you to charge your device through a MagSafe charger.

Has anyone tried the Nato Mount mag-charger? It has a sticky attachment for your dash rather than the (I hate them) vent mounts and seems to have a larger mag plate than their regular mag mounts which work great. Now that I am getting the 12pro I want to upgrade the mounts but it sounds like its a challange to get one that works easily and without falling off. I am trying to decide between it and the Belkin/apple one (did I mention that I hate vent mounts?) Also the Nato is cheaper if you buy 3. Thanks!

Worked out really well actually. I didn't have to stick a magnet to the back of the magsafe charger, it just stuck to the car mount on its own and doesn't fall of. The phone sticks to the magsafe pretty well too and charge speed is good.


Only slight annoying thing is when you take the phone off the car mount sometimes the magsafe charge comes with it but can deal with that.
