I have an iPhone 11 ProMax and was curious if I decide to buy a magnetic charger, do I also need to buy a magnetic case for the phone?
• will it charge my phone faster
• do I need to buy cordless accessories while traveling or is there a way to magnetically charge cordless?
Thanks,

You can use the Apple MagSafe charge with an iPhone 11 without buying any case or accessory but it will not attach magnetically. See the following from MagSafe Charger - Apple
The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The perfectly aligned magnets attach to your iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12, and 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 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models.
Recommended: 20W USB-C Power Adapter (sold separately)

Thank you for clearing this up for me, greatly appreciate it!
I take it that your reply also refers to the 11 ProMax too, yes?
