Are Magnetic Wireless Chargers Better? Are They Safe for Your Phone?

Are you tired of dealing with frayed cables that don't last? Or maybe you want a way to keep your device secure while charging? Magnetic wireless chargers are the answer. They change how you charge your devices for the better.

What Is a Magnetic Wireless Charger?

A magnetic wireless charger is essentially a wireless charging pad with a twist. It uses magnets to align and attach your phone perfectly to the charging pad, ensuring optimal charging efficiency. Unlike traditional wireless chargers where you might have to fiddle around to find the right spot, the magnets make it a snap (literally) to get your phone charging quickly and correctly.

Apple's MagSafe technology is the most popular example, but many other brands offer similar magnetic wireless chargers. These chargers often come with a circular magnetic pad that fits onto the back of your phone, providing a secure and convenient way to charge.

Why Choose A Wireless Charger for Your iPhone?

For those who don’t yet use wireless charging, it may be hard to understand why tech companies are eager to ditch wired charging.

Below we discuss some of the benefits you’ll experience when making the switch to wireless charging.

First, wireless chargers are universal. Aside from the Apple Watch (which uses proprietary charging), just about every other device capable of charging wirelessly can use the same charger, including Apple and Android devices. This universality means that restaurants, movie theaters, airports, offices, etc., can add built-in wireless chargers to tables, desks, and armrests without excluding specific smartphone users.

Second, wireless charging reduces the wear and tear on your device. If you’re never repeatedly plugging or unplugging the connector, your device will not experience as much damage. Not to mention that wireless charging is safer for your battery as it doesn’t charge your phone too quickly.

Finally, wireless charging lends itself to a clean, minimalist lifestyle. Cables create clutter that, like an overgrown garden, can be challenging to manage. They sprout from the back of our televisions like vines, cover our desks like ivy, and take over our vehicles like weeds. Moving to wireless charging reduces this disorder, allowing for a cleaner, neater future.

Why Should You Choose A Magnetic Wireless Charger for Your iPhone?

Something that is becoming a norm for the future of consumer electronics is the use of functional magnets.

Apple’s Magnetic Attraction

Apple has been using magnets to create some interesting products from the iPhone cover and the iPad Pro to the Apple-branded over-ear headphones.

Magnets not only play a crucial part in these products but also in the Apple Ecosystem. For example, over ninety magnets are embedded inside the iPad Pro, enabling it to work seamlessly with the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil.

If you own an iPad Pro, you’re probably itching to buy accessories that help you get the most out of your tablet. In this sense, Apple will probably come up with more "magnetic" products.

Magnetic Wireless Chargers are More Convenient

Over the last few years, as wireless has become the norm, we’ve seen an increase in magnetic features for wireless chargers.

Some believe that regular wireless chargers are not worth buying, as they do not allow you to use your phone while charging. For wireless charging to occur, electricity has to transfer between the wireless charger and your phone via a short magnetic field. If you move your phone away, you break the field, and the charging stops.

However, with a magnetic wireless charger, you don’t need to worry about where you place the phone on the charger and can mount power banks and charging cases to the back of your device, providing consistent power throughout the day.

Do Magnetic Wireless Chargers Shorten Battery Life?

You may be worried about whether a magnetic wireless charger will affect your phone's battery life, but the good news is that they are generally safe for your phone.

Built-in Safety Features: Most good-quality magnetic wireless chargers come packed with safety features, like overcharge protection, temperature control, and foreign object detection.

Optimal Charging Rates: Magnetic wireless chargers are pretty smart. They know exactly how much power your phone needs and deliver just the right amount. This prevents any unnecessary strain on your battery, keeping it healthy and happy for longer.

That said, it's still essential to use a magnetic wireless charger from reputable brands.
