Charging iPhone 15 with Magsafe

While charging my iPhone 15 with a magsafe dock, is it safe to use your phone, (for example ordering something on an e-commerce app or doing a money transfer) or shall I disconnect the magsafe and do whatever it is I need on my phone first before I reconnect the magsafe?


Kindly recommend what will be beneficial for my phone's battery in the long run. Thank you.

iPhone 15, iOS 18

It is perfectly safe to use your iPhone while it is being charged - whether using a direct wired connection or compatible MagSafe connection. Doing so will not negatively impact your iPhone's health or long term durability.


MagSafe charging may cause your iPhone to run warmer than when using a wired charging connection - this being entirely normal. If using CPU/GPU intensive Apps and/or high screen brightness, the additional heat generated by MagSafe charging may in some circumstances cause your iPhone's thermal management to be triggered to protect the battery from overheating.
