FP Exclusive Will the New iPhone SE Kill Magsafe

The FP Exclusive video examines whether the new iPhone SE could impact MagSafe, focusing on the device’s magnetic alignment, charging approach, and ecosystem of MagSafe accessories. It outlines how MagSafe works with existing iPhone models and what the SE’s design choices might mean for accessory compatibility, charging speeds, and case compatibility. The presenter weighs potential scenarios for how MagSafe-enabled accessories could perform with the SE, including any tradeoffs between compact size and magnetic strength. Through a series of practical considerations, the video aims to clarify whether Apple’s budget model signals a shift away from MagSafe or simply offers a compatible, limited integration. The takeaway centers on understanding the SE’s role in MagSafe adoption, what users should expect in real-world use, and how this might influence accessory developers and Apple’s broader ecosystem.
