Made For MagSafe
MagSafe is Apple’s own wireless charging technology, and was designed specifically for Apple devices. However, it is also compatible with the Qi wireless charging technology that is now widely used by non-Apple smartphones, earbuds and mobile handsets from many other companies.
You can charge an iPhone or AirPods on any standard Qi charging device, such as a Qi charging dock or stand. You can also use Apple’s MagSafe charging devices, such as the MagSafe Duo Charger, with non-Apple devices, such as an Android smartphone that has Qi. Because of this, many Qi charging devices will carry a label that says ‘MagSafe Compatible’ or something similar. But there’s a difference between being ‘MagSafe Compatible’ and ‘Made For MagSafe’, which is the term used for charging devices that officially support Apple’s MagSafe technology.
For a device to be labelled ‘Made For MagSafe’ it has to be approved by Apple and meet specific technical standards for the MagSafe technology, including the ability to provide wireless charging with up to 15W power, compared to 7.5W for standard Qi devices.
