Valid point. Do something well enough and you can kinda lose your branding to success; e.g. Band-aids or Kleenex.They have practically given the brand away. Qi2 chargers are more commonly known as MagSafe so MagSafe is now being associated with non-Apple products.
Mine is a cheapy third-party stand that barely charges, but it has all night so it works OK for me. Personally I do not want the display always on; the tiniest of taps on the nightstand easily cause the AWU to light up.agreed, if only it would stay on though (the time display for a nice night clock)… assuming you mean the regular watch charger?
A minor technical difference that has nothing to do with the intended purpose, or the concept.
Not to a user, which is why they are marketed the same with the same name. Thanks for playing. You lost.Delivery of electricity through cable connection (Mac) vs magnetic induction (iPhone).
A "minor technical difference", like Cheese and Chalk.
To me, none of these sound appealing - they seem like solutions looking for a problem?For example a Yale key holder with snapback so you can leave them at home on a night out. A small Moleskin for jotting down ideas. A reverse Apple Watch charger. A narrower medication dispenser. A blood sugar monitor. A narrow dry-powder inhaler. Airpods. A controller with shoulder buttons and a cooling fan for extended sessions.

IT never appealed to me for iPhones because I always want and require fast charging. So a cable would be superior over magsafe.Despite nicking the idea wholesale from the Palm Pre, Magsafe on the iPhone has been one of Apple's best successes of recent years. This is to the point that they open sourced it and it now forms the basis of Qi-2 charging across Android devices.
But have they gone far enough?
A key selling point for the iPhone 12 was Magsafe accessories yet beyond the wallet (which has been done better by 3rd parties) nothing has really come of it. Unless I'm travelling or commuting I, like many people prefer to leave as much at home as possible; are there further creative areas for Magsafe exploration that we have not seen?

Magsafe isn't going anywhere and is now in Android phones. Releasing an accessory doesn't mean it only works with a narrow niche of phones.
You were wrong. I corrected you.First of all Cirillo, I was correcting a wrong statement that you had made.
It was quite obvious from your early posts that you had no idea as to how the two technologies differ from one another.
Statements like "same in name and concept" and "Minor technical difference", betray a degree of ignorance of the subject that is being discussed.
Second, and most importantly, I have no interest in playing games with you, or keeping scores, so if you want to feel like you won anything just be my guest as I am now out of this thread.
Stammi bene.

Not that it matters, this is sort of a dumb argument anyway, but the concepts have far more in common than not.Just read back through your conversation and it’s clear they were right. Two different concepts sharing the same brand name.
It’s two separate things. I found a MagSafe tripod mount on Amazon, I selected the one I bought ultimately based on maximum height. I think I’d tried looking for one that would allow me to connect to a tripod mount (instead of using its own tripod) but couldn’t find one when I looked last year. The one I picked up was this one: https://www.amazon.com/OMOTON-Compa...2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfbXRm&psc=1Great points, would love to see a link to the tripod charger that you refer to, if you like it. It sounds useful for photography and in the kitchen too!
