Is Apple really thinking about ditching MagSafe from future iPhones? A new Weibo rumor from Instant Digital claims there’s internal debate at Apple over whether MagSafe should stick around — and yeah, that sounds wild.
In this video, I break down why I don’t buy it. MagSafe helped solve wireless charging alignment, created an entire accessory ecosystem, influenced the Qi2 standard, and now supports faster 25W charging through newer MagSafe and Qi2 25W accessories.
We’ll talk about the rumor, why removing MagSafe would be a massive step backward, what it could mean for future iPhones like the folding iPhone, and why Apple abandoning MagSafe just doesn’t make much sense.
