Remember that year, Apple MagSafe at the beginning of the sale with a capacity of 2980mAh + 5W wireless charging speed and a price of up to 749 yuan directly dissuaded many users, and even many senior fruit fans also felt that "this is too much IQ tax." If this product is not apple out, the same configuration and the same price will definitely be scolded. But it is such a product, recently Apple actually pushed a firmware upgrade to it, to know that this wireless charging treasure in everyone's eyes is not without technical content. Even Huaqiang North has launched similar products, and the price can even be as low as nearly 1/10 of the price. So, why can Apple sell a wireless charging treasure with "odd difference" parameters for 750 yuan?

01MagSafe originated from Macbooks
Apple's MagSafe first appeared on the Macbook laptop series, originally in order to solve the problem that laptop users will always inadvertently kick the charging line, so Apple launched the MagSafe magnetic charging cable interface to solve this problem. Since then, Apple has replaced the MagSafe magnetic interface on the Macbook with the Type-C interface as the power supply port. After that, for a period of time, we could hardly see the figure of MagSafe, until the launch of the iPhone 12 brought MagSafe back to everyone's attention, making everyone suddenly realize that "Apple originally had a MagSafe".

MagSafe uses magnetic properties to perform a variety of functions
The MagSafe magnetic function applied in the iPhone 12 series Apple has made a lot of adaptations for mobile phone devices. The iPhone MagSafe itself is composed of a circle of magnets + various MagSafe components added to the back of the iPhone body, and the core is still "magnetic" participation to achieve wireless charging, card packs, mobile charging and other functions. Apple basically single-handedly created a major peripheral accessories category of MagSafe, and third parties and Huaqiang North are competing to launch flat products.
02 The same Magsafe performance is very different
Apple's Magsafe charging treasure launched for the iPhone, although third parties have launched a lot of excellent flat replacement products, but from the perspective of adapting to the iPhone and workmanship, none of them can be compared with the original Magsafe. The charging speed and battery power of the third party is generally higher than the original Magsafe charging treasure, and the price is much cheaper, if the budget is not very sufficient friends suggest that you can consider a third party for daily use.
Although the same is to the iPhone wireless charging, but Apple's original Magsafe charging treasure in the charging strategy of this piece of throwing all similar products several streets. Because in Apple's view, the technical content of simple large capacity or improving charging speed is not high. Apple prefers to do some functional research and development that is really related to user experience, rather than simply stacking materials to improve parameters. At present, third parties can only improve in terms of battery capacity and charging speed.
Apple has also developed a set of charging strategies for the Magsafe charging treasure: when the user uses the Magsafe and the iPhone, when the user plugs in the charging cable for the iPhone, the system will prioritize charging the mobile phone to 80% of the power, and then start charging the external Magsafe charging treasure. When both the phone and the Magsafe are charged to 80%, they will be charged at the same time at the speed of trickle charging until both are full. Apple's charging strategy protects the battery health of the iPhone and Magsafe charging treasure very well, and can improve the service life of the product. This is a bit powerful, which is one of the big reasons why this Macsafe charging treasure dares to sell so expensive. In addition, the original Magsafe charging treasure can be manually switched on and off through the iPhone system, which is also impossible for third-party Magsafe to do. In addition, there is a feature that has not yet been unlocked, which allows the iPhone to reverse charge the Magsafe (the official feature has not been unlocked so far).
03 Disadvantages of Magsafe
First of all, there is no doubt that the pricing is too high, if it is not local luxury fruit powder, most people will not consider such expensive accessories to start;
Secondly, this Magsafe charging treasure has some users reflect that there will be a hot situation during use, and with the emergence of heat, Magsafe will ensure safety by reducing the strategy, but this also greatly loses the charging speed, I don't know if Apple will change the overall strategy in the future;
In addition, the charging capacity is too small, may be in the safety or portability considerations, the battery capacity of this Masafe charging treasure is only 2920mAh (7.62V, 11.13Wh), it can be said that even an iPhone 13 battery can not be fed, not to mention the larger iPhone 13 Pro/Max. Are the officials suggesting that we buy a few more? (Joke), after all, users buy this wireless Magsafe charging treasure is not only for emergency use, it is expected that in the future Apple can launch a larger capacity (can be on the plane) Of the Magsafe wireless charging treasure;
Finally, the charging speed is really a little slow, the official original Magsafe maximum power is only 15W (need Magsafe to connect the charging head state), and the third-party Magsafe is only up to 7.5W, which is already 2022, this charging speed is really not too good; in addition, Apple's products, for the compatibility of Android phones will be somewhat unfriendly, this Masafe charging treasure is no exception, wired mode can not charge the Android phone Oh.
