    Apple’s?iPhone 12 lineup came with a returning but refreshed take on a feature called?MagSafe. The fast-charging magnetic feature acts as a power throughput of standard Qi wireless charging on iPhones (15 watts versus 7.5 watts). Apple’s MagSafe charger has a built-in magnetic snap to optimize alignment for better charging — similar to how the magnetic charger works on the Apple Watch.?
    Of course, if you have a magnet that can center a snap-on charger, that same magnet can be used to attach other kinds of accessories to the iPhone 12, too (shades of the late — and not so great — Moto Mods). Apple may also have plans to use the magnetic system to let an?iPhone reverse wirelessly charge other accessories like AirPods?– similar to a feature found in the latest Samsung Galaxy and OnePlus phones. Does that mean the iPhone maker is skipping a presumed?transition of the iPhone from Lightning to USB-C, and opting to jump straight to MagSafe instead? Your guess is as good as ours. But one thing is guaranteed: With Apple licensing MagSafe to third-party manufacturers like Belkin?(see below), expect more MagSafe accessories to be heading your way.?

    One caveat is the MagSafe charger’s effect on credit cards. Having a card placed between the iPhone and the MagSafe charger can cause damage. Apple warns users to remove any cards with magnetic strips or radio chips such as a credit card, transit card, or hotel room key card from a wallet accessory before charging the phone. ?

    iPhone 12 Clear Case with MagSafe
    The iPhone 12 clear case lets owners use the MagSafe features without having to take off the case each time.

Cases come in different sizes for the iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Max.
