Using new MagSafe Charger on a metal surface.

Hi. So I've just got my new MagSafe Charger which I intent to have on my bedside table which is made of metal - the charger sticks to the metal like a magnet - this is actually really good as it will stay in place and I can just grab my new phone off it but I just wanted to check it's safe and okay to use it on a metal surface - sorry if it sounds like a silly question.

iPhone 11 magsafe compatible? About two months ago I had purchased a MagSafe charger and I noticed that if I take the case off my phone,the charge sticks to the back of it. At first I thought that it might be due to the magnetic field created between the two copper coils but I turned off my phone completely and I had also cut the power for the MagSafe charger.Long story short,it still sticks. I do have to mention that my iPhone 11 was purchased post iPhone 12 launch (with the new design for the box and everything). Might it have some kind of magnet’s placed inside? PS:I also tried this experiment with an iPhone SE 2 and an iPhone XR,and they both failed.

Is it harmful to leave the MagSafe charger attached to my phone while it's unplugged? I recently got a stand that holds the MagSafe charger and therefore props my phone up, and it's great. I want to use the stand, but I don't need it to charge all the time; is it safe (in general and for battery health) to leave the phone attached to an unplugged MagSafe charger? My only concern would be the effects of the magnets on the phone or any weird charge going back and forth between the phone and charger.

Wireless Charging and Magnetic Phone Cases I just recently purchased the new iphone SE, which I think supports wireless charging. Now, I only bought the phone and not the charging dock, and don't intend on using WC in the near future. I do, however have a magnetic phone case, which has an actual magnet installed on it, It makes it really handy to stick it onto anything metal while I'm working. If I understand correctly, it definitely affects the phone if your'e trying to use the WC, but here's the question, Will having the magnet there mess with the phone even if I just charge it with a chord.

Hey Liamchu,

It sounds like you have some questions regarding charing your iPhone. We can understand wanting to look into that further. We want to help.

It would not be expected for there to be any issues placing your charger on the table. You can find more information on charging your iPhone here: Charge and monitor the iPhone battery

Thanks!
