MagSafe is a proprietary, magnetically attached wireless power transfer and accessory-attachment standard developed by Apple Inc. for its iPhone and AirPods product lines.

The connector also enables connecting non-charger accessories such as card holders and cases with communication through an integrated NFC loop.

It began to be phased out upon the release of the Touch Bar MacBook Pro in 2016, which used USB Power Delivery and the USB-C connector for charging.

Apple's chargers based on MagSafe are their first to use the Qi standard, following the development of AirPower.

The Apple Watch charger disc can be laid flat for face-up charging or can be vertical for nightstand use.

"[23] The larger camera array on the iPhone 13 Pro elevates the top end from the charger with a case, though charging is unaffected.

[24] The MagSafe Duo does not support fast charging on Apple Watches released since 2021 (Series 7 and later, Ultra).

[31] In 2021, Apple released an updated MagSafe wallet with an NFC chip that supports Find My location tracking when the wallet is disconnected from an iPhone, but is not supported by Apple's clear cases for iPhone 12 models.

[35][36] At launch, Belkin was the only accessory maker to which Apple had licensed the MagSafe charging standard; while other third-party accessory makers advertise magnetic charging products as "MagSafe compatible," they use older Qi standards that deliver a maximum charging speed of 7.5 W, compared to first-generation MagSafe's 15 W, and lack integrated NFC.
