Apple’s MagSafe technology paved the way for iPhone owners to be able to charge up without a tangle of cables. Using the astounding power of magnets, MagSafe removes the guesswork out of aligning the charger with the charging coils, making it much more expedient and foolproof.
Going back to wireless charging that doesn’t use magnets to align the charger with the device being charged feels like a step backward.
