I recently got a MagSafe charger. I’ve read some articles that say it’s bad for your battery. I’ve also seen articles that say the USB-C charging either MagSafe or lightning, is bad for your battery health long term. Is this true?
iPhone 14 Pro Max
I’ve seen articles and even videos about aliens, Sasquatch, Nessie, Chupacabras, and many other topics, and even some claims that blockchain algorithms are broadly useful and performant, beyond their use providing a technobabble foundation for frauds and scams.
The world is awash with clickbait and stupid and manipulation and opinions.
As for charging wirelessly and charging wired, it’s all power going into a rechargeable battery. It’ll all produce heat, and it’ll all be less than completely efficient. Qi and MagSafe charging does require more power, is somewhat less efficient, and tends to be somewhat slower than wired. But is more convenient.
As for battery life, other issues—and not the least of which is excessive environmental heat—will shorten battery life.
Charging? Sure. Each recharge—wired or wireless—shortens battery life… slightly.
Batteries are consumable, and are replaceable. When battery health drops below 80%, get it replaced. Otherwise, use your iPhone for what you bought it for. Which was probably not as a battery.

no, but magsafe does use more watt to charge X % than a wired charging but thats just on your electric bill
No, it does not hurt your battery. It uses more watt so it can hurt your electricity bill.
Is charging with MagSafe bad for your battery, either short or long term?
