Let?s get one thing out of the way first
? magnetic wireless charging is perhaps the best implementation
of wireless charging we have seen for a phone. And once again, Apple has
scored on execution rather than innovation. We have seen much faster
wireless chargers in India from OnePlus and Xiaomi this year. But by and
large, wireless chargers for phone followed a broad design template ?
they would either be in the shape of a stand on which the phone could
recline, or a tray on which the phone could be kept. And because the
phone rested on them, they were inevitably bulky and in many cases,
bigger in volume

It has aced this with the Magnetic charger. The charger is very similar to the Watch charger ? it is
basically a disc at the end of a wire, only much larger. Super portable
and easy to carry. And just like the Apple Watch attaches magnetically
to its charger, so too does the Magnetic to the back of the iPhone 12
series. No, before you ask, do not try attaching your Apple Watch to
your iPhone. It just will not charge. The Magnetic charger has been
optimised to work with the new iPhones so while it will charge the likes
of the iPhone 11 series, it will not attach to them magnetically.
And
that magnetically attaching bit is an important component. For it gets
rid of one of the biggest headaches of other wireless chargers ? the
hunting to find the spot when the device and the pad align perfectly.
The Magnetic charger simply snaps on to the back of the iPhone exactly
where it is meant to be ? it is a lot like connecting a conventional
wired charger. And just like with a conventional charger, you can
continue using the iPhone even while it is charging
