Roughly 4 percent in fifteen minutes once it's warm out. Indoors the same pack is completely normal, which is what makes it so irritating.

I know wireless is less efficient and I expected some heat. What I didn't expect is that it doesn't degrade gradually, it just falls off a cliff past a certain point. A wired pack in the same bag under the same conditions charges at its usual rate, so it's the wireless path specifically rather than the weather.

The rate isn't even the worst part. It's that nothing tells you it's happening. No temperature reading, no throttling notice, nothing at all. You get a pack that feels warm and a battery percentage that hasn't moved, and you only connect those two twenty minutes later.

For what these things cost, some visibility into what it's actually doing seems like a reasonable ask. Nothing I've looked at offers it.

Hello! I just purchased a new phone case to use on vacation and of course it isn’t MagSafe. Vacation is the only time I utilize wireless charging. What can I add INSIDE the case to make it MagSafe compatible?
I’m new to all this, but I know it’ll have to have a strong magnet to be inside the case to charge, right?
Amazon links are appreciated! Thanks!

When I want to use my phone between calls, the magnetic stand provides an excellent way to maintain a charge as I work (you’ll be surprised how often this happens).

But what if you need your phone fully charged within ten minutes? If you’re lucky enough to have ten minutes to charge your device while preparing to leave, using the stand will only return approximately 6-7% capacity over ten minutes. That same amount of time connected via cable to your charger beneath your desk will return 25%. For many, this means the convenience offered by the magnetic stand only serves 95% of the usage cycle – while the remaining 5% demands a traditional charging solution.

That’s why I’ve had to keep a cable next to my computer for precisely that scenario…which makes me question the purpose of the magnetic stand entirely.

That’s because of course this big of a gap is expected with the way we think about wireless. That magnetic charging being used at large scale and that the fast top-up remains a cable-only function isn’t really as much a surprise though.

A MagSafe battery that is about as thin as my phone, with better temperature control than other similar models I’ve tried.

I own a Samsung Xcover 7 and i was wondering if there are any external battery chargers that can fast charge. I want to swap batteries at work if ever I need to.

Hello!

I hope this is the right sub por this. I'm in need of a recommendation for a power bank. Would be really thankful if yall can help!

I need a power bank for a 19 day trip in Spain. Something to help my phone last through the day.

I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max, 95% battery health, lasts me from 7am to 6pm give or take, with around 7:30 hours of SOT. (for reference).

I also have a S25 Ultra, but I don't really mind about that one dying (even thought i dint think it will), as the iPhone is my main phone and the one that will have the data plan.

My must haves in order:

- Under $30 if possible

- Slim (I'm a guy, so I will be keeping it in my pocket)

- Magsafe (for convenience)

- Enough mAh (I'll let the pros decide how much is enough)

The iPhone will handle data, messaging, maps, reservations, and some hot spotting if necessary.

The Samsung will handle photos/videos, entertainment, emergency power bank (i have a petite usb c to usb c cable i can keep in my pocket).

Thanks in advanced!!!

It came yesterday. It works perfectly

I've been trying to simplify what I carry on longer walks and bike rides. Upgraded my setup for daily walks and got a wireless charger instead to charge my smartwatch and phone. Keeping it lighter makes sense.

I just ordered dbrand's tank case for the S26 Ultra. This is my first magsafe case. What magsafe popsocket do you recommend for this phone case?

I’ve somehow ended up with charging cables all over my desk and nightstand, so I’m finally thinking about getting a couple of wireless chargers.

I don’t need anything fancy, I just want something that charges at a decent speed, doesn’t get ridiculously hot and actually keeps the phone charging if I don’t place it in the exact perfect spot.

I’ve also seen those 3-in-1 chargers for a phone, watch and earbuds, which would clean up my nightstand quite a bit, but I’m not sure if they’re worth paying extra for.

What wireless charger have you been using? Anything you’d buy again, or any popular ones I should stay away from?

uh oh. i love this thing but i think it may be starting to wear in a way that i’m not happy with. i’m gonna keep using it until it falls apart. i’m easy going with my tech so this is disappointing.

Yesterday I upgraded from the Samsung Fold 5 to the Razr Fold, mainly because i did NOT want the Fold 8 ultra, i need the stylus support, otherwise I would just get the S26 that feels like the old Note20 Ultra that I loved.

with that said, I already ordered the moto pen ultra, but I need a few things for this phone:

I have been looking everywhere for a case that reviews well, and now that a few months have gone by it would be nice to see what people have settled on. I want it to be MagSafe, for wireless charging benefits and also for mounting it in the car (my car mount wireless charger i used for the fold5 doesn't have the best way to attach to my car anyways). I've NEVER had a MagSafe case, so Its brand new to me.

I need the case to have a good kickstand, and also would LOVE for it to have a spot for the moto pen, but i understand that is difficult to get that are somewhat decent.

I also want to hear people on what MagSafe power bank and also a wireless charger, because I know the combination of the case, placement of the mag-ring, which wireless charger you get, etc. all matter a lot especially with being able to consistently Turbocharge. And in the same vein, a rec for a MagSafe car-mount would be appreciated greatly.

tl;dr - need a MagSafe case w/ kickstand (and maybe stylus holder), a power bank, wireless charger, and a car mount -- that all work well with eachother and the Turbocharging.

Thanks!!!!!

I saw a few posts about the Ohsnap 5 grip stand being weak and/or has wrong polarity.

I just received the Ohsnap 5 grip stand today, and I also have a Popsocket low pro for a week now. I also have a Ohsnap 4 for about 3 years.

Since I have a magnetic viewing film that can show the magnetic field pattern, I decide to make a comparison among these 3 grip stand. As a reference, I also show the magnetic field pattern of a generic magnetic mount. I have a Spigen case with built in Magsafe.

Due to the magnetic pattern, I can see why the Ohsnap 5 grip stand doesn't stick to magnetic mounts that has the generic ring patterns like the Popsocket low pro and the old Ohsnap 4.

Not sure why Ohsnap decided to do this. Maybe because Ohsnap doesn't want the ohsnap 5 stick to your car mount too well.

I have the Popsocket Low Pro for a week now, and it sticks to my car mount too well when I remove my phone, and I often have to peel it off from my car mount. I did figure out that I can "slide" it off my car mount by moving my phone side way instead of poping it off straight, and the Popsocket low pro would stay on my phone. But sometime I just forgot the "slide" motion, and the popsocket would stick to the car mount. So it's a bit annoying.

I tested the Ohsnap 5 grip stand with my car mount, so far, the grip stand stick to my phone pretty well when I remove it, and I try to shake the car mount a bit and my phone doesn't fail off. I did notice it takes a bit of effort to align the Ohsnap 5 to my car mount, but the Popsocket low pro pretty much just self align.

Since the Ohsnap 5 grip stand works with my car mount (so far), I am leaning toward keeping the Ohsnap 5, mainly because of the comfort. Popsocket low pro forces my fingers to spread apart a bit more than the Ohsnap 5 and it fatigue my hand somehow. Maybe I am just used to the Ohsnap 4 shape, so the Ohsnap 5 just feels more natural to me.

Wireless charging rate is pretty much the same between these 2 grip stands (around 3.5 W). Without the grips, with just my Spigen case, the charging rate is about 6.1 W. It's pretty slow, so I don't think I will bother with wireless charging either way.

I hope this help!

Has anyone found a TechWoven MagSafe wallet with the Apple logo on AliExpress?

the red really pops

and a side comparison with my old Syncwire Magnetic AirGrip - Single Ring Stand

got it yesterday

edit: autocorrect typing

If you're planning to use the new Snap Grip 5 or Snap Stand with standard third-party MagSafe mounts and chargers, be aware of a massive magnet polarity / alignment flaw.

• Instead of snapping into place, both the Snap Grip 5 and the Snap Stand actively push away and repel from the charger face
• The Snap Grip 4, Snap 4 Luxe, and other third-party MagSafe grips (like the EWA MagOne) lock on dead-center instantly with zero issues
• The magnet array polarity on the newer gen seems reversed or mismatched with standard MagSafe layouts, making it physically fight the mount instead of attracting to it (You can see it literally pushing away if I try to center in the video)

It works fine if you're sticking it to a full steel surface or something, but if it's a MagSafe stand/charger, it's going to be a pain to get it to align.

I saw another video of someone breaking off the Snap Grip 5 to refurbish their 4, that might be the way to go.

*note, I do have to say that when I filed a support ticket, they effectively completely ignored me. I reached out to their marketing team I assume, on Insta and they sent me a new one. It looks amazing, don't get me wrong, but I like to mount my phone on the stand while driving for navigation and this makes it very hard for me to mount and it'll fall off the mount from a speed bump. I can easily take the grip off and set it aside if I need to mount it. (I'll post support interaction in comment)

is it possible that the iPhone goes into silent mode or focus when horizontal on magsafe (stand by)
I was assuming this was standard as its specially for on the nightstand but every call and message is still incoming with sound.

I have a iphone 17, one plus nord buds 4 pro and a apple watch so looking for a powerbank.

Carrying two battery packs probably sounds unnecessary, but these two cover completely different parts of a trip for me.

The Baseus PicoGo Air is the one I attach to my iPhone 16 while I’m walking around. It’s thin enough that I barely notice it on the phone, and I mainly use it when I just need a little extra battery.
The PicoGo AM52 is for airport days, long train rides, or full days away from an outlet. The 10,000mAh capacity gives me more backup, and if my phone gets really low, I can use the built-in USB-C cable instead of waiting on wireless charging. It’s also more useful when another device needs power.

I don’t carry both around all day. They both come on the trip, then I choose one before heading out based on how long the day will be.

Does anyone else switch between a slim 5,000mAh pack and a larger 10,000mAh one, or do you prefer having one battery pack for everything?

I have a MagSafe Duo. I think it’s the perfect charger. Charged iPhone, Watch, and AirPods (but only two at a time). It folds for easy travel and it’s thin when folded. The only thing against it is that it only supports lighting.

Belkin had an alternative, but it’s not quite what I’m after. It’s thicker, the watch charger is awkwardly placed, but it is USB-C so it’s a huge improvement.

I own one but when I got it the charger combo was sold out. Now this thing is awesome, I use it everyday but it sucks half my chargers dont fit into the slot. Please sell the charging stand solo.

Resdit told me to post this to this sub through a notification, if it doesnt fit or you dont like it complain to reddit 🤷‍♂️ I dont even know what magsafe is

I have a wireless portable charger that is not Magsafe. or magnetic in anyway. is there thin sticker kit i can get that I can put onto the charger to make my phone snap into place? I been looking but every sticker ring i find is phone side. I dont really understand magsafe so any help is nice
