These tests also confirmed that the use of MagSafe cases does not affect the iPhone 16e's connectivity, alleviating concerns about potential interference.

While the iPhone 16e supports Qi charging at a maximum of 7.5W, using a MagSafe case can ensure optimal alignment for better charging efficiency.

Without a MagSafe case, users may experience charging speeds dropping below 5W due to improper alignment on wireless chargers.

This absence of internal MagSafe magnets is likely a cost-saving decision by Apple rather than a technical limitation.

Despite the lack of official support, initial tests show that MagSafe cases can still be used with the iPhone 16e, enhancing wireless charging speeds without interfering with the device's C1 chip functionality.

The upcoming iPhone 16e has generated significant debate due to its lack of official MagSafe charging support.

Unlike all other iPhones since the iPhone 12 series, the iPhone 16e and the iPhone SE 3 do not feature the MagSafe technology, which relies on a ring of magnets.

Although there were rumors suggesting that the new C1 modem chip might be behind this limitation, Apple has denied these claims.

Given its glass construction, users are encouraged to use protective cases with the iPhone 16e to prevent shattering from drops.

On a positive note, the iPhone 16e boasts impressive battery life and features a USB-C charging port, enabling faster wired charging compared to Qi wireless speeds.
