r/MagSafe

I was thinking of buying a 17e, and ive done alot of research on the different models and such.

So i read this one has magsafe, something that has been a feature on iphones since the 13 model. Anyway, im coming from the 7 (i know....) that didnt have it. I never really missed it, but i figured its a cool feature.

So i googled what i could do with magsafe and then a bunch of stuff showed up about it not being 100% safe. So i started to overthink and doubts started to rise in my head about is having a magnet in your pants pocket a few hours a day really that safe or a good idea?

Sorry if this sounds stupid, anyone care to elaborate and share experiences?

I get that my question is a little weird, like why would I pay for a MagSafe power bank just to not use the MagSafe, but my main reason for using it is not so much to charge my phone since it has the added downside of slower charging speeds and heat, hence I am using the magnets so that I can have my phone charging as an all-in-one type of solution, instead of a power bank in my pocket, with a cable tethering it to to my phone being a bit of an annoyance to use.

Whereas with a MagSafe power bank and a short USB-C cable I eliminate this annoyance. So yeah, the power bank in question is the Anker Nano MagGo Slim 5000mAh. I don't know if my iPhone 17 can tell if it's being charged via MagSafe or cable so I'm asking.

Im looking for a phone cardholder and im not sure if i should get the magsafe cardholder or an adhesive stick on cardholder. i am using a silicon phone case and it is not magsafe but magnets can still stick to it just not very strong. im wondering if i should get a magsafe with a rly strong magnet or i should just get an adhesive one

Is there any wireless charger that sticks to the table? Every time I try to take my phone off it, the charger comes with. It should leave my phone but also keep it connected when it’s on charging. Is there any product that sticks to the table so that it doesn’t come with the phone and just stays stuck on the table?

I'm on an iphone 17. Curious how you all handle keeping your phone charged on a day hike. I'm kind of leaning toward a magnetic power bank but I'm honestly not sure about the capacity and charge speed. What do you guys usually use to top up on a full day hike?

Got a trip coming up next month and want to upgrade to a magnetic power bank for my iPhone 17, for travel and everyday use. Right now I'm mainly torn between Anker and Baseus.

I'm not great with specs, I just want to know if there's a real difference in actual travel use, mainly three things: whether wireless top-ups are fast enough, whether it gets hot when I charge and use it for a while, and whether the magnet holds steady.

Capacity-wise the 10000mAh range is fine, don't want anything too heavy. Anyone used both, or one of them? If you're on an iPhone 17, which would you pick?

I’ve been on the hunt for a truly portable power bank for everyday carry. My current one from ugreen cost me around $60 and honestly feels like a brick. Its bulky, heavy and thicker than my phone. It gets the job done but it ruins the slim lining of my bag and just feels like overkill for quick top-ups.

Now I’m stuck deciding between a magsafe style power bank like the Iniu P73 or Anker MagGo Qi2. MagSafe looks super convenient but I’ve heard they charge slower and don’t hold as much power. On the other hand, pocket-sized wired ones seem more efficient but not as clean or easy to use when you’re walking around.

Ideally, I want something small enough to fit in a waist bag, USB-C friendly, and capable of at least one solid phone charge. I just don’t want to carry another mini brick.

Would love to hear what’s been working best for everyday carry and maybe catch some deals while we’re at it!

i need it to be slim, and that should have options for charging phone with cable.
the power bank should have airline safety protection. I care about heat protection.

it can be 5k-10k , but if you have 20k slimmer version then ok.

ESR and Anker's are just too expensive. I need a little bit of help~

I've already had a magsafe wallet (original Apple leather wallet) but didn't have a good experience; after less than a year there was noticeable wear and tear and the adhesive/binding at the seams started coming apart and melting in my hands.

Anyhow, I'm revisiting this because I'd really like a minimalist setup where I only carry my ID access card (1.5 cards thick) and my DL. I'm aiming for the minimalist Apple aesthetic, i.e. no fancy extra functions (except maybe Findmy) or added thickness, but would like something that actually lasts longer.

Any recommendations? I'm looking at the Apple Finewoven (which seems even worse than the original leather), Popsocket Finegoods, or the Spigen Valentinus.

I am trying to find a 3 n 1 charger that does fast charging for my watch with a cooling fan for my phone(newest standard charger also a nice to have). I also would like magnets for my airpods charging spot. Seems like everywhere I look it doesnt specify the fast charger for the watch so I have to guess. I got the esr cooling station but it only does 5 watts I believe. Anyone else finding it difficult to find the all in one package?
