The iPhone 16e's lack of MagSafe doesn't make sense


The iPhone 16e doesn't support MagSafe or fast wireless charging, two features that seemed like givens on Apple's phones.

Apple introduced MagSafe to its smartphones with the iPhone 12 as a magnetic accessory and charging standard, and has included it in every phone since. MagSafe on an iPhone means you have strong built-in magnets that let your phone attaches to cases, mounts, wallets and stands, without any extra fiddly pieces. It's likely one of the main reasons why MagSafe was adopted into the wider Qi2 wireless charging standard — it just makes the whole thing a lot more convenient.
