One of the biggest disappointment of the iPhone 16e is the lag of MagSafe charging, which arrived on the iPhone 12 as an important feature to have more reliable wireless charging speeds, and Apple has something to say about that.

In an interview with Daring Fireball’s John Gruber, the company’s executive told him that its target audience for the iPhone 16e won’t mind not having the magnetic wireless charging feature, as most of them would prefer to use wired charging, this in some way makes sense as the previous iPhone SE doesn’t come with MagSafe charging support, so people upgrading from it probably won’t want such feature.

As usual, Apple always has the perfect PR answer to any feature that they decide to include or omit on their products, but the cold hard truth can always be related to lower costs and higher profit margins, while the possible explanation could also be interference that MagSafe could cause to its custom C1 modem.

The iPhone 16e is now available for purchase in Malaysia starting at RM2999, you may get it here.
