The brand-new iPhone 16e is unusual for the iPhone 16 series, as it’s the only model that doesn’t specifically support MagSafe. It does work with Qi wireless chargers, but it completely lacks the ring of MagSafe magnets that lets it connect to MagSafe chargers and accessories.
If you’ve already invested in a bunch of MagSafe accessories, you’ll find they won’t work with the iPhone 16e, unless you make an adaptation to the smartphone. You have to add magnetic ability back in.
