Is through-surface charging compatible with Apple MagSafe?
In the article published on 2021/9/21, we revealed that the top furniture vendor is deploying through-surface charging into the products. There is a tricky point the public is not aware of:
Is through-surface charging compatible with Apple MagSafe?
You might easily conclude that this is undoubtful since Apple says that all the iPhone models after iPhone8 are Qi-compatible. However, you will be surprised if you surf the Internet to look at the iPhone12 to Qi-certified chargers compatibility; lots of people reported their Qi chargers could not charge the iPhone12 series. The introduction of Magsafe causes this.
To realize the MagSafe user experience, Apple adds magnets surrounding the receiver coil inside the phone. The MagSafe charger precisely attaches to the phone and concentrates the magnetic field into the phone receiving area. Instead, some Qi chargers could leak the magnetic field onto the magnets to generate heat. For these Qi chargers, the magnets could trigger the foreign object detection and stop the charging. Even some of them loosen the FOD threshold to let the charging goes on; the magnets increased temperature makes the phone limits the charging speed. As a result, the phone battery level falls as time passes; even the phone screen's charging icon shows it's in charge.
The above issue causes an abysmal user experience while people are not using the MagSafe charger to charge their iPhone12 series and the upcoming iPhone13 series. With its larger transmitter coil property, the through-surface charger is prone to leak magnetic fields onto the magnets inside the iPhone, which can cause a poor charging experience. We have no idea if the top furniture vendor solved this issue or not in their newly announced through-surface charger. It's worth observing the consumers' feedback after their product launch.
As the pioneer in the through-surface charging area, Tseetech has thoroughly analyzed the MagSafe compatibility problem and developed our solution. Our QB06 and QB21 can charge the iPhone12 series from 0% to 100% with the same period as Apple's original 15W MagSafe charger. Take iPhone12 Pro as an example; we can find the charging time information below:
Apple iPhone 12 Pro MagSafe pad wireless charging speed
176 minutes (2 hours and 56 minutes)
MagSafe and 20W adapter bundle price will set you back nearly sixty bucks
With a 60 USD bundle set from Apple, one can charge the iPhone12 Pro from 0% to 100% with around 3 hours.
Below is Tseetech QB21 through-surface charger performance. The iPhone12 Pro is juiced from 0% to 40% in an hour and fully charged within 3 hours, across a 45mm surface thickness.
The Apple MagSafe charger format is more like a personal belonging, so it is tough for the furniture design. Fortunately, we can see Tseetech through-surface charger realizes the same charging speed as the Apple 15W MagSafe charger. By applying Tseetech technology, furniture vendors can easily create charging spots ubiquitously and keep the hidden beauty.We believe we are your best choice to introduce through-surface charging into your furniture design.
