The Battle Between Magsafe and Wireless Charging: A Comparison

As an iPhone 13 Pro owner, I decided to test both Magsafe and wireless charging methods to see which one would come out on top. The testing process was quite fascinating, and I'm excited to share my findings with you.

To start, I placed the iPhone 13 Pro in a completely dead state, not even turned on, and attached it to the Belkin Wireless Charger. I then observed how many watts of power were being drawn from the charger as the phone began to charge. To my surprise, the wireless charger was only drawing 7 watts of power, which is significantly lower than the 15 watts that Magsafe can offer.

However, what happened next was quite interesting. As soon as the iPhone 13 Pro started charging, the Belkin Wireless Charger began to draw more and more power, eventually exceeding 10 watts at times. In fact, it's possible that the charger was drawing up to 11 watts during certain periods of the charging process.

In contrast, Magsafe was able to maintain a consistent flow of power throughout the entire charging process. While I was testing the charger, I observed that the iPhone 13 Pro began to charge at around 29% and continued to rise steadily until it reached 80%. During this time, Magsafe was consistently drawing around 8-9 watts of power, which is significantly more than what the Belkin Wireless Charger could offer.

As the charging process progressed, I noticed that the difference in power output between Magsafe and wireless charging became more pronounced. At the one-hour mark, Magsafe had reached 46%, while the Belkin Wireless Charger had only managed to reach 29%. This was a significant gap, with Magsafe still trailing behind by around 20% at this point.

However, what happened next was quite remarkable. As I fast-forwarded through time, I observed that the wireless charger began to catch up to Magsafe's power output. At the five-minute mark, the Belkin Wireless Charger had reached an astonishing 31%, which was incredibly close to Magsafe's 54% at this point.

Despite this impressive showing from the wireless charger, it was ultimately unable to match Magsafe's power output over time. By the hour and a half mark, Magsafe had reached 68%, while the Belkin Wireless Charger had only managed to reach 38%. This was a staggering difference of around 30% in terms of power output.

As I continued to test the charging process, I noticed that both chargers began to level off at certain points. At the two-hour mark, Magsafe had reached an impressive 80%, while the Belkin Wireless Charger had only managed to reach 44%. However, even as they approached completion, it became clear that Magsafe was still in the lead.

Finally, after a grueling eight hours and 44 minutes, I declared the winner. And the winner is... Magsafe! The wireless charger put up a good fight, but ultimately fell short of Magsafe's impressive power output throughout the entire charging process.

So what happened? Why did the Belkin Wireless Charger perform so poorly compared to Magsafe? As it turns out, there are several factors at play. Firstly, Magsafe can draw up to 15 watts of power, which is significantly more than the 7.5 watts that wireless charging can offer. This means that Magsafe has a much greater capacity for rapid charging and can handle higher levels of power output.

Secondly, Magsafe uses advanced technology to optimize its power delivery. Unlike wireless charging, which relies on electromagnetic induction to transfer energy between the charger and the phone, Magsafe uses a more direct and efficient method that eliminates the need for intermediate conductors.

Finally, it's worth noting that wireless charging has limitations when it comes to maintaining high levels of power output over time. As I observed during my testing, the Belkin Wireless Charger began to draw more power as it charged the iPhone 13 Pro, but eventually leveled off at a certain point. This is because wireless charging relies on the presence of metal objects in the vicinity of the charger to generate an electromagnetic field, which can lead to inefficiencies and limitations in terms of power delivery.

In contrast, Magsafe's direct and efficient method allows it to maintain high levels of power output throughout the entire charging process without any significant losses or limitations.

The reason I chose Belkin as my wireless charger for this test is because it is one of the most popular and highly-rated options available on the market. It's also widely sold at Apple stores, which makes it a convenient choice for those who want to test out wireless charging without having to purchase an additional accessory.

Of course, there are other factors to consider when choosing between Magsafe and wireless charging, such as pricing and availability. However, based on my testing experience, it's clear that Magsafe is the superior option when it comes to speed and efficiency.

As I continued to use and experiment with both Magsafe and wireless charging, I couldn't help but wonder what other benefits these technologies might offer. For example, do they have any potential applications in fields like renewable energy or industrial processes? And how can we continue to improve their performance and efficiency?

These are questions for another time, as I'll be continuing to explore the world of Magsafe and wireless charging in future tests and experiments.

watt power adapter both of these chargers you can find them at your local apple store or apple.com or even better amazon i'll throw a link in the description which one is going to charge your phone the fastest let's find out i'm going to be using an iphone 13 as a timer while keeping it charged using anker's nano pro this charger is the same exact size as apple's 5 watt power adapter but the trick is it is not 5 watts it is 20 watts and you can get the color that matches your phone even better thank you anchor for sponsoring a portion of this video both iphone 13 pros are completely dead not even showing the battery indicator whatsoever the gold iphone to the left i'm gonna be using the wireless charger while the phone on the right the silver iphone i'm gonna be using the magsafe charger in five minutes in 39 seconds the magsafe was able to power up the iphone while the wireless charger is still taking his time in 8 minutes and 22 seconds the belkin boost charge finally pulled through meanwhile on the magsafe side is at four percent the first initial boot the magsafe takes the lead so far 12 minutes in the wireless charger was able to charge the iphone to four percent meanwhile on the magsafe it was able to charge the iphone to 11 15 minutes in wireless charger is at eight percent max save 15 and 17 minutes wireless charging is at 10 percent magsafe is at 17 so magsafe is taking the lead here 23 minutes wireless charge 13 magsafe 22. 30 minutes in the belkan wireless charger is telling behind with 17 while the magsafe is at 29 percent there's a weird glitch going on where i can't animate the nine but 32 minutes in magsafe is at 31 while the wireless charger is at 19 41 minutes in the wireless charger was able to get to 24 while magsafe is still leading at 39 on the 50-minute mark we had 29 on the wireless charge like i said i can't get that 9 to animate while magsafe is at 46 percent but fast forward all the way five minutes later the wireless charger from belkin is able to get to 31 while magsafe is at 50 so halfway there with the magsafe charger which is incredible now we have that golden hour now the magsafe is able to get to 54 while the wireless charger is at 32 now keep in mind the higher the percentage the slower the charge is going to be especially once it hits 80 now 1 hour and 10 minutes 62 on mag save 35 on the wireless charger an hour and 20 minutes the magsafe is at 68 while the wireless charger is at 38 that's a 30 difference right there and an hour and 30 minutes 41 on the wireless charger while 75 on the magsafe so at this point i'm good to go for me an hour and 41 minutes 80 on magsafe 44 on the wireless charger and get it into the two hour mark we have the wireless charger at 50 while the max ape is at 85 and shortly after 10 minutes later belkin is finally at 53 percent meanwhile 91 on the mag safe and then 10 minutes after that 55 on the wireless charger 96 percent on the magsafe so almost done on the magsafe side and then completed magsafe is done 2 hours and 32 minutes and 59 on the wireless charger 2 hours and 45 minutes the wireless charger is at 62 only 62 percent so at this point on i'm just going to let you guys watch it through do and 8 hours and 44 minutes finally finally the belkin finished charging the iphone 13 pro magsafe is the winner magsafe completely wiped the floor beating out wireless charging by a landslide i remember being so critical about the magsafe charging last year my theory apple pushed out a bunch of updates to support faster charging for mag saves and it definitely was worth the wait so even though i didn't recommend it last year this year is a totally different story and i'm known for always keeping that same energy but now i'm at the back track i recommend magsafe now i don't know what happened with the wireless charging but i remember getting the same exact charging speeds last year on the magsafe and this year's just a totally different story the reason why i went with belkin is because if you go to the apple store they have belk and wireless chargers they sell belkin so it just makes sense i just wanted to make it as realistic as possible because remember magsafe can go up to 15 watts of charging which is incredible but wireless charging is only 7.5 watts so that's what happened here basically using wireless charging is the equivalent of using the 5 watt power adapter all right so i've been reading the comments and a lot of people were saying you're not going to get the same wattage as like you know once the phone is fully charged you're not going to max out the watts and that's true and i said that on the video that's the best thing about iphones it's not going to always take as much watts it's only going to take whatever it needs so i have a completely dead iphone 13 pro this is totally dead not even turned on and i'm going to attach this and we're going to test exactly how many watts is going so you guys can see 7 watts and it exceeds it shoots all the way up to 10 watts sometimes 11 watts then the wireless charge which we're going to test right now till that light yep there it goes there goes the light so this should be going up so it's not going to go higher than 5 watts but sometimes it might exceed the 5 watts for a split second so more wattage going to max a versus wireless charge that's the conclusion magsafe totally wins that concludes today's video i hope you guys found this one helpful if it did i appreciate it with a thumbs up make sure you guys subscribe with
