Apple Warns MagSafe Charger Can Leave Circular Imprints on Leather Cases

It seems like the iPhones this year just have more and more shortcomings the more that is released about them. I wonder what's been going down in Apple HQ this year regarding the iPhones.
Not familiar with Anker's version of MagSafe. Can you post a link to that non-existent Anker product that doesn't leave marks?
Most likely they will recall the leather cases much cheaper than recalling the charger.
Not really. Every year there's that vocal minority that finds something to complain about. So far we have:
- Smaller battery in a phone with a larger display and faster processor doesn't last as long
- Faster cellular chip uses 20% more battery
- Wireless charging via a 15-watt charger isn't as fast as a hardwire 20-watt charger
- There is no difference between an iPhone 12 Pro and an 11 Pro other than 5G
Camera, different build materials, lidar, RAM, smaller, different design?
So spend $50 plus on an Apple leather case only to have it ruined. That is really too bad about MagSafe, I was really looking forward to it and the MagSafe Wallet too.
This is very unlike Apple. Bummer!

it feels like the .eft isn't talking to the right ... this, all the bugs in new OSs this year makes me wonder if this is a sign that Covid is impacting Apple at another level - they are a very office based culture and now they have been working remotely for the better part of the year. This does have an impact on communication (at least initially) and takes time to get used to. It can be done, but as I said, their history and culture is office baed and it takes time to adjust to a new working model ...
Didn’t they test it? Why sell something that will damage another accessory that it’s supposed to be used with? Ridiculous engineering and product design. Fire the whole department!
(Reminds of something I discovered a few days ago when I got my SS AWS6 - the Milanese loop scratches the charging puck that comes with the watch).

I actually thought iOS 14 was pretty stable even in beta. Certainly better than iOS 13.
Yup. I want the Mini (old school iPhone holdout here) and I wanted to order a case before arrival but was going to hold out to see what's compatible with MagSafe, in case. This kills any interest in it.
And people still wonder why AirPower flopped.
Let's face it, Apple tried to shoehorn MagSafe to iPhones. It belongs on Macs, but they seemingly decided that it was past its expiry date when transitioning to USB-C (makes me glad I still have a 2014 MBPr with no butterfly keyboard fiasco and MagSafe to boot).
I will be getting the 12 Pro Max and using it with a fast charger that doesn't require magnets, just like previous generations. I have no idea why Apple thought MagSafe was suddenly all the rage on a phone. It's not like you'll drop it when it's charging, unlike a Mac where you might trip over the cable.

Zuckerberg: Do you respect wood Timmy?
Tim: Of course I respect wood.
Zuckerberg: Well I found some rings on the coffee table last night. Those rings wouldn't be from your wireless charger would they?
Tim: Get the F outta my house Zuckerberg!

Don’t be surprised. Everybody is an individual with their own thoughts and priorities. MR posters generally do not align with the masses.
edit: by attention to detail...are you referring to "you're holding it wrong?"

It’s embarrassingly piss poor... Do the environment a favour and stick with your iPhone 6S or later a while longer.
there were posts here re ios14 battery drain
watchos7: battery drain, S3 reboots ...
MacOS Mojave security update causing high CPU usage
Have you tested your Anker wireless charger with an iPhone 12 yet? Do you get near 7.5W charging or just the pathetic 1W?
That’s disappointing... I wonder if that’s what caused the delay? This in combination with the slower charging speeds will be a deal breaker for a lot of people.
