My old MacBook has MagSafe from before they stopped using it the first time round. IMO it's wonderful. The cable just sort of plugs itself in and should some idiot trip over the wire it will pull out.

I would suggest it also means less wear and tear on both the socket and the cable as far less force is used. No way you can apply lateral force where it plugs in and damage anything, it will just snap off.

stronger, more elegant mount? Magsafe car mounts at least look tidier than other mounting methods. They also appear to be resistant to speed bumps.

I also saw a review of the new Magsafe battery pack. So you can attach a secondary battery back the back of the phone, should you need it.

I have charging point in the arm rest, but back up battery could be useful

thanks

no it was a work charity thing, I actually won an iPad, but I brought the air with pencil last year so that was mostly useless to me, but the lass who won the phone prefers Samsung phones, but did not have a tablet, so we swapped

Same point as majority new features on Apple - provide technological parity with devices that were on market for 2-3 years before that.

So you can magentically attach to other mag safe products or magentic stuff. If you think removing something stuck to the back of your phone is quicker than pulling the cable out then it's coooool. If not then it's another apple gimmick

Point of MagSafe?

Ok so I won an iPhone 12 Pro Max in a raffle yesterday, so was reading up on the difference between my current iPhone 8 and discovered “MagSafe” but not sure on the point of it, so out to you tech nerds; what real world benefit have you discovered with this feature?
