The lack of maintenance of Magsafe technology in the iPhone 16e was one of the biggest question marks and mysteries since the announcement of the new smartphone of the US company. Although its predecessor also did not support Magsafe, the higher price of 16E, and the lack of functionality that has become one of the most important additions to any iPhone, left many users extremely puzzled.
We remain puzzled and we have already indicated an official reason for the lack of Magsafe support with the iPhone 16e – The habits of the potential audience to which the device is directed.
That's right, according to the apple, Consumers who would buy the iPhone 16E and pay up to 1079 euros for it are accustomed to loading their smartphones through cable, so the absence of a faster and more comfortable wireless option would not bother them.
If this audience requested access to wireless charging so much, the available and quite anemic 7.5W Qi (not even Qi2) option would be more than sufficient.
Initially, there was suspicion that the exclusion of the Magsafe functionality from the iPhone 16e has in common with the new C1 5G modem of the company that debuted in the new unit, But later Apple denied this to be soS We now know the official reason for this such big lack – the “good old habits” of the “not so wealthy part” by Apple's audience.
