All iPhone 16 models come with Apple’s MagSafe feature, which provides faster wireless charging for compatible chargers. It also supports optional accessories – including Magsafe wallet, mini wallet and various mounts – which are magnetically attached to the back of the phone. Like the iPhone 15, the iPhone 16 has “a series of magnets” (Apple says they are recycled) embedded around the charging coil that pulls up to 15 watts of power.
If you want to use these MagSafe accessories without taking your phone out of the case, you will need to have a MAGSAFE-supported phone case. The MagSafe symbol is a circle with a short tube below it. You can see it in clear cases, but it is embedded inside the shell, so if it is non-transparent, you will only see it from the inside.
If you already have a MagSafe Accessories – or plan to buy MagSafe Accessories in the future – you want to get a MagSafe compatible case; this is a good choice. With that in mind, most of the cases in this review are equipped with Magsafe.
