Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and this is apple's brand new magsafe charger
and so let's go ahead and unbox it and take a look it comes in at $39
and on the back of the box you can see that it's usbc and they show the 20 watt adapter usbc
to your ac wall adapter so i have one from the ipad pro here but any usbc adapter will work
now let's go ahead and open it up so if we pull the tab here set that aside we'll open it up here
and see what we've got so inside it says designed by apple in california there's nothing else oh
there is some papers in the box here literature see it has safety and handling regulatory
compliance information and then a warranty summary and just that's really it no apple
stickers or anything like that so it says designed by apple in california we'll open it up like this
and you can see that you've got usbc with a coiled cable to your magsafe adapter so let's
go ahead and take this out here see if we can get this out of the packaging pull these open
and so for forty dollars it will charge at 15 watts or 7.5 watts if you don't have one of
the iphone 12s so we'll set the packaging aside and you can see here's the wireless adapter and
so it's just a piece of aluminum with i believe plastic but it sort of has a grippy feel to it
on it and then i believe it's a one meter cable so it's not terribly long so that's
probably something i'd like to see a little bit longer on this especially since you may need to
snake this around a little ways but either way let's take a look at it now this should have a
ring of magnets around it to adhere to the back of the iphone 12 12 pro 12 mini and 12 pro max
and this is magnet paper so we can see them so this is the magnetic field around it so that
gives you an idea if we flip it over you're not going to see anything different but basically
it's just a ring of magnets that should hold it to something now it is magnetic let's see if it
sticks to say something like a tin here and it will stick but you'll see it falls right off so
i'm not sure how hard this will adhere to the back of an iphone but you probably will
have to disconnect it so that's something that may be a disadvantage but using this
you will be able to probably use your phone while charging it so i guess that's an advantage as well
now a lot of people want to know what else can you charge with this so we know you can
charge the iphone 12 lineup but apple says that you can charge the iphone 11
all the way back to the iphone 8 so basically any qi compatible wireless charging iphone as well as
air pods or air pods pro with the wireless charging case so let me go ahead and plug it in
and it will charge at 15 watts if you're using the newest iphones or 7.5 watts at least according
to what looks like apple's wording on their website if you're using it for anything else
so you'll plug it into this and then plug it in i'm going to plug it into a computer since
that won't reach the wall from where i'm sitting so i've plugged in the magsafe charger and here's
an iphone 8 let's go ahead and place it on the back and you'll see that it charges instantly
now it doesn't adhere to the back you can just move it around no problem it's not stuck there
but it will charge your iphone 8 or newer again with the iphone 11 pro max should stick
it right on the back there and it begins to charge instantly so it will charge any of your iphone so
it's a nice charger that way now the only one that it probably won't be a problem for if you set it
down and then you want to take your phone off of it without the magnet staying adhered to it is the
new charger duo that they announced that's not out yet so if you plug that on there it charges and
it looks like it sticks to the back of the iphone a little bit but i think that's suction from this
the back of this as well so it's not magnets holding it or maybe it is it's on there ever
so slightly so maybe it is magnetic to the back of the iphone 11 pro max and you'll see if i just
shake it it falls off so it's not on there very tight now apple says the new magsafe adapter is
compatible with not only wireless charging iphones but also air pods and airpods pro
with the wireless charging cases so i'll place my air pods pro on the magsafe adapter and it begins
to charge immediately so it doesn't adhere to it magnetically or anything but it will charge them
charge the case and the air pods inside and then also because it's qi compatible it should work
with third-party phones as well so here's a pixel 5. we'll go ahead and place it on the back it has
qi compatible wireless charging and as soon as i place it on the back it begins to charge
and so the interesting thing is it seems like it's stuck to the back of the pixel 5 and the
pixel 5 is aluminum and it's sticking probably to the coils inside so it's on there pretty good
you just have to shake it hard to get it to fall off let's see if it's actually holding on the
back of the iphone 8 and 11 pro max the same way so it does stick to the back of other phones and
it looks like it sticks to the 11 pro max and centers itself it's charging now as you can see
and it will stay there when you pick it up so if i set it down pick it up it sticks but if i
shake it it just falls off so it's not on there super tight but it looks like it sticks there
magnetically and it does help center it a little bit on the 11 pro max as well so we've got that
with the eight like i said same thing and it's sticking there as well as you can see
but it falls right off and other phones as well it doesn't seem to stick so much to the
the airpods pro though now some have asked will the new magsafe adapter work with the
apple watch and no it won't because apple did not use a standard wireless charging method
when they designed it or at least not standard anyone else so you can't just put it on this
and let it charge you'll need your adapter that came with your watch in order to charge it so
it won't work with this but it will work with the new duo charger once that releases a little bit
later apple did not give a date for that though so any qi compatible wireless charging device that
you have can charge off the new magsafe connector and i think it's really nice it's very convenient
small very apple like design wise minimal and i do like it a lot but again it's forty dollars so
you will need to pick one up at that cost now also you'll need something to charge it with like this
ac wall adapter to usbc so that's going to be an extra expense as well they're about twenty dollars
from apple so you'll need that if you don't already have one from your iphone 11 pro or 11
pro max or you didn't purchase one separately so if you don't have that and you get it from apple
it's going to be about sixty dollars for the pair so just keep that in mind if you do want one now
other than that that's about it it's pretty simple and straightforward but let me know what you think
about it in the comments below of course i'll link this wallpaper for you in the description
