MagSafe is a technology developed by Apple for its iPhone 12 and later models, and it refers to a system of magnets that aligns the phone perfectly with compatible accessories for optimal wireless charging. The MagSafe charger itself is similar to a large puck that attaches to the back of the iPhone.

The MagSafe Charger does not come with a power adapter; it comes with a USB-C to MagSafe cable. To charge your device, you need to plug the USB-C end of the cable into a power source, such as a USB-C Power Adapter (sold separately), or a device with a compatible USB-C port.

It's worth noting that while you can use any USB-C power adapter, the maximum power delivery and hence the speed of charging will vary based on the wattage of the adapter. Apple recommends a 20W or higher USB-C Power Adapter for faster charging.


Thanks!
