No, neither the Apple MagSafe Charger for Apple Watch and the AirPods Pro 2 case nor Belkin iPhone Mount with MagSafe for Mac Notebooks will work with any iPhone below iPhone 12.


I created the question in order to answer it myself in order to counter a number of incorrect answers that point users to a page (MagSafe Charger - Apple), which clearly does not list iPhone 11 Pro Max as their answers claim.


I took the Apple leather case off my iPhone 11 Pro Max and confirmed that it does not start charging with Apple MagSafe Charger, which I use for my Apple Watch series 5 and series 8 as well as my AirPods Pro 2 case.


My reason for creating this question is that I bought Belkin iPhone Mount with MagSafe for Mac Notebooks for my new 16-inch MacBook Pro 2023 with M2 Max CPU and very disappointedly found that the iPhone immediately slides off the Belkin iPhone Mount since iPhone 11 Pro Max doesn’t seem to contain any magnets at all.


I’m not sure whether Apple can take back third-party products after the package seal has been broken to remove the product from the box. I anticipate using my iPhone 11 Pro Max for several more years since it does more than serve my purposes. As a 57-year-old guy, I rarely take photos, so new camera technology—the only significantly upgraded feature in iPhone from one year to the next—doesn’t provide enough incentive to prompt me to replace this one. In fact, iPhone 8 Pro Max was still perfectly fine, and I bought the iPhone 11 Pro Max only to treat myself to a little gift amidst my 11 months of homelessness (due to divorce), living entirely in my car throughout 2019.
