They have a firm plastic shell that is likely to do a good job of protecting your phone when you drop it.<\/p>\n<p>The Silicone case is\u2026 fine. Frankly, it\u2019s ludicrously priced for what it is. It offers no advantages over a plethora of third-party cases that cost exactly half as much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommendation<\/strong>: The clear case has its advantages, but the silicone case is awfully expensive for what it is. Generally, third party is the way to go. There are lots of third-party cases from manufacturers who got licensed by Apple, and you can generally trust those will work with wireless charging just fine. That was the whole point of the MagSafe branding, after all.<\/p>\n<h2>The MagSafe charger<\/h2>\n<p>At $39 or $49 (depending on length, one meter or two), these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MX6X3LL\/A\/magsafe-charger-1-m?fnode=6ba567690f1aaacd5dcc9a385d0dafdd819ede009e1380d85be2b6e9f05cf7edb22aa52dfb8944bdb2502b0558fe243676f64b730715baf3463fcdf4a800accfa9d39b8ff11f24d4dc7cfc7395abe1a9fc00004d48f48a4c2295c5781770e534105c0e989b9b94dd3e74336439cb6a08\">charging cables<\/a> are pretty pricey. But they\u2019re also highly durable, relatively efficient, and super easy to use. In most cases, you might as well just use any old USB-C cable.<\/p>\n<p>There are some situations where you might prefer this option, though\u2014for example, if you prop your iPhone up against your bedside lamp like a nightstand clock, or if you (like me) listen to audiobooks on wired earbuds while you fall asleep via the USB-C port, but you want to make sure the phone is still charging.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"ars-wp-img-shortcode id-2063425 align-fullwidth\">\n<div>\n                        <img width=\"675\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/iPhone-MagSafe-charger-rotated.jpg\" class=\"fullwidth full\" alt=\"A charger with cable sits on a table\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/iPhone-MagSafe-charger-rotated.jpg 675w, https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/iPhone-MagSafe-charger-640x420.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\"\/>\n                  <\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"caption font-impact mb-4 mt-2 inline-flex flex-row items-stretch gap-1 text-base leading-tight text-gray-300\">\n<p>\n      The MagSafe charger for the iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>              <span class=\"caption-credit mt-2 text-xs\"><br \/>\n          Credit:<\/p>\n<p>          Samuel Axon<\/p>\n<p>                  <\/span>\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So the answer on Apple\u2019s MagSafe charger is that it\u2019s pretty specialized, but it\u2019s arguably the best option for those who have some specific reason not to just use USB-C.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2024\/11\/are-any-of-apples-official-magsafe-accessories-worth-buying\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But if you prefer to stick with Apple\u2019s own cases, there are currently two options: the clear cases\u00a0and the silicone cases.
