I added MagSafe to my Pixel, and now I’m never going back

Despite having a love-hate relationship with wireless charging throughout the years, the concept as a whole clicked with me back when Apple debuted its MagSafe system for the iPhone 12 in 2020. Through the magic of magnetic fields and opposing polarity, inductive charging suddenly made sense in my eyes. By lining inductive copper coils with a set of circular-shaped magnets on both the host and peripheral ends of the pipeline, it ensures perfect charging alignment each and every time — no more waking up to a half-charged phone perched mere inches away from its charging target.
