The iPhone 12’s MagSafe is nice quality-of-life improvement, but it’s not as perfect as Apple wants us to believe it is.

The iPhone 12 released to much fanfare with a new form factor in the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max. Along with a new squared-edge design, one of the headlining features was the return of Apple’s famous MagSafe brand; however, rather than being the MacBook-friendly charge port that would prevent your computer from falling off of a countertop, this new iPhone MagSafe design permits the usage of handy magnetic accessories like the iPhone MagSafe charger and MagSafe cases, MagSafe car mounts, and other MagSafe accessories. But there’s a problem with MagSafe. It’s just... well... it’s limited by physics. How has Apple tried to combat some of these hurdles and how has their selection in magnet chemistry, placement, surface area, and depth affected how strong these magnets attach? Let’s find out today as we learn about magnets, shear force, pull force, plating, and what that means for the best iPhone MagSafe accessories!

Then they should not try to invent a problem, just use plain old wired charging, wireless charging is highly inefficient on top of that, so if apple was really worried about env. then a simple move of integrating USBC would solve all problems it would cause less ewaste, it would use more efficient way of charging it, it would not slip way when it is being charged, etc. Not to mention that their design of wireless charger is not modular meaning if you break the cable instead of just buying a new cable if you had wired charging brick you will have to purchase an entire new wireless charger

Wireless charging is less efficient then wired charging. So a power pack would result is lost energy that could be used.

Also a port allows you to back up your phone even if the screen is not functional.

Yeah and no. Of purse wireless charging has worse efficiency, but with the magnets the 2 coils are perfectly aligned which means that the effiency is much higher then normal and I would guess that there is not a big difference to normal charging. Also many people use wireless charging nevertheless so making this alignment by magnets, which increases the effluence a lot, will actually save energy

Who’s to say that in 5-10 years when the next usb does to usb-c what usb-c did to micro-usb that the EU will accept/recognize any potential improvements and let it happen.

Hey Quinn, thank you for the great video! Regarding the lightning connector protocol incidentally just a couple of days ago I was connecting my iphone with the USB-C cable to backup my iphone locally and I noticed exactly what you mentioned in the video: that even connected with USB-C the iphone was slow to backup! So yeah I noticed but I still think you are totally right and nobody else noticed.

@PeterArnold1969 3 года назад

Thank you, Quinn, for not being afraid to get too technical. The technical section on magnets was really interesting.

I really have to say, I’ve been using the MagSafe wallet since Christmas and it has slipped off a couple times but other than those very rare instances, I haven’t had a problem with it

I miss the old MagSafe power adaptors. I had a 2013 Air until last year when I had to upgrade to a new one. Like, I get USB-C being the standard but the MagSafe was just so handy and secure.

It's like the Mous wallet (which is the first magnet wallet i can think of). They have a little sticky bit.

I do actually use lightning for data when I move out all the images on the phone to the PC or add music to the phone. if they do go port-less a good alternative for wired data transfer would be pogo pins like the one on the Moto Z.

@SebastianHaban 3 года назад

So much this comment! The Moto Z ALSO solved the problem of "things coming off when applying vertical force" by using the camera bump as an additional anchor point to hold the accessories in place. Motorola was lightyears ahead with this stuff and it's a shame they failed with it...

I used the MagSafe charger on my iPhone 12 Pro and it’s slow and generates a ton of heat. Like, in the morning my phone’s fully charged but still feels warm kinda heat. I don’t think wireless charging can replace wired charging anytime soon because even the most energy efficient setup (ie MagSafe) results in a lot of energy loss through heat etc.

"I bet you haven't plugged your iPhone into your computer in years" Now, I don't own an iPhone but I used to own an iPod touch, and the hoops Apple made you jump through just to transfer a single MP3 file… I plug my Android phone into my PC quite frequently, just to transfer a movie before a train ride, to update my music collection, to create backups and so on.

@jonnywishbone4805 3 года назад

I had to plug my iPad into my Surface to transfer music. On Android I can just use cloud transfer - piece of piss.

@Anton1699 3 года назад

@Nicola Sabbadini I did use iTunes, but that's my point. Getting music onto any other media player was way easier, just copy it over. I wouldn't mind the _option_ of using iTunes to manage my music library, but it's Apple's my-way-or-the-highway approach to their UX design that bothered and still bothers me.

@Anton1699 3 года назад

@Nicola Sabbadini I take good care of my music library, it's sorted by artist and album. And most media players would sort it for you (assuming you tagged the songs correctly, of course)

@AustinTyWeir 3 года назад

You’re missing the fact that removing a physical port would make it impossible for people to backup their phone to their computer; thus requiring people pay for iCloud storage. That’s super anti-consumer, and I really hope Apple doesn’t get away with it. Also, what about attempting to recover the device if it gets into a bad state and needs to be restored?

@pineappleroad 3 года назад

In a way, if the EU legislation becomes law, then I hope the legislation actually forces apple to put a USB C port (or whatever port) on the Iphones

When I first saw the announcement of MagSafe, I wondered about the effect a big honking magnet in your pocket might have on credit cards, flash drives, security keys, and the like. Is there any info on that one way or the other? It's quite possible my concerns are unfounded, but I haven't seen any discussion of it at all.

@Joseph Dematas False, you can use as many watts as you want provided the voltage is 5V or whichever voltage the battery or device is rated for. The device will only pull as many amps as it’s designed for.

@RB-xv4si 3 года назад

@@draconis3186 that’s not true. My iPhone 7 Plus was “designed” to only be charged on the shitty little 5W brick. I charge my 7 Plus on my wife’s 20W brick she got for her iPhone 12 and it charges 3 times faster. If what you said was true, the charging speed wouldn’t increase on a 20W adapter.

@benjaminpeternorris 3 года назад

Great video. I'm not convinced of a portless iPhone, in the same way I wasn't convinced that removing the headphone jack was a good idea. Two important uses (besides charging) for the Lightning connection are Apple Car Play (This only works via a wired USB-C to lightning connection in my brand new VW T6.1 for instance and will not work over bluetooth) and data connections that take audio or video over USB (eg I use a USB to Optical Out S/PDIF via the lightning to USB camera adapter with my iPhone). Bluetooth and wireless charging are not the solution to every wired 'problem'.
