MagSafe charges older devices very slowly versus the speed it charges the iPhone 12 series.


The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The perfectly aligned magnets attach to your iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro and provide faster wireless charging up to 15W.

The MagSafe Charger maintains compatibility with Qi charging, so it can be used to wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or later, as well as AirPods models with a wireless charging case, as you would with any Qi-certified charger.

The magnetic alignment experience only applies to iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models.

As mentioned it will work as you can see. It will not however charge as fast as the iPhone 12 series. Per the info I posted in bold black only the iPhone 12 series utilizes faster wireless charging using the MagSafe because only those models have the ability to do the “magnetic alignment”. All other devices that can use the MagSafe charger will charge using the Qi charging capabilities. It’s exactly as the bold info shows which comes from the Apple site where the MagSafe charger is for sale. It’s on the part that shows compatible devices.
