MagSafe Duo Charger Works With iPhone 13 Pro Cases, Despite Minor Fit Issues

[MacRumors]

Earlier today, a report highlighted that an iPhone 13 Pro with a case doesn't lay fully flat on the MagSafe Duo charger, igniting concerns about possible compatibility issues. Even if the iPhone 13 Pro doesn’t lay fully flat on the charger, it will, however, still charge normally.

For better context, a video posted by MKBHD shows that an iPhone 13 Pro with a case is slightly elevated off of the MagSafe Duo Charger due to its more prominent camera bump. Despite the elevation, the iPhone 13 Pro will still charge as normal thanks to MagSafe, and the slight fit issue has no impact on charging performance or speed.

Apple lists the MagSafe Duo charger as compatible with all models of the iPhone 13 lineup, and customers that are worried that the iPhone 13 Pro won't be compatible with the charger should rest assured that it will be.

Duo is a pretty ugly solution,anyway.

I’m glad that it still works. However, this fit issue is not something that should be happening on a 129$ Apple product that is 10 months old

Here's an image on the case I bought from ESR..... Interesting to see if I have the same result UGH....

I talked about the Lip in another thread. Its horrendous. I'm done with the d4mn camera already.

Fear not! The MagSafe Duo Pro+ is surely around the corner.

Fear not! The MagSafe Duo Pro+ is surely around the corner.

Introducing the All-New MagSafe Duo Pro+ Max* for $299. We think you're gonna love it.


* Cable and charging brick not included.

Fear not! The MagSafe Duo Pro+ is surely around the corner.

For sure - 10% smaller and this one will use Apple's new 39w USB-C charger to allow faster Apple Watch charging*

*Wall charger not included.

It really seems like there is a communications breakdown within Apple, like every single product is completely siloed. I feel like it was just dumb luck now that the battery case and wallet work with the 13 Pro (They are extremely close, just a mm away from the camera bump.)

+1 points for not making it a 15-minute youtube video with two mid-rolls.

Usless product to be fair

 

[LeeW]

Lol. This will absolutely kill most of you on here in that position. You won't be able to live with that fit.

I actually think the phone itself not sitting flat on a table when it it’s case is a bigger problem.

This still works it’s just a minor example of it looking wonky.

I’m wondering if the camera bump should be more like the pixel 6 and spread over the width of the phone.

Why the heck do cases have lips around the camera now? One of the nice things about using a case was that it made the back of the phone flat.

Arrgh even my favorite case the Otterbox Symmetry has a camera lip! Seriously WTF are they thinking? This just killed half the reason to have a case.

To protect that huge camera module.

What a joke of a product this is

Can’t you just put it the other way? Like facing the camera to you? I don’t have the MagSafe so I’m asking cause IDK

The magnets for MagSafe are in the back of the phone.

EDIT: Ha, misread the post I believe. Thanks @blancoBronco.

I wonder what happens if you rotate it 90 or 180 degrees, so it's still face up, but the earpiece is at the bottom. I also don't have a MagSafe charger so idk its limitations

 

[zooby]

Yes, thats what I meant

 

[jcshas]

This is something I never even considered of when I ordered my iPhone 13 Pro and MagSafe leather case. Thank goodness my MagSafe Duo Charger will still (technically) work but this is just ridiculous.

 

[nvmls]

Timmey product all over it.

 

[827538]

Dammit, I just bought a MagSafe Duo Charger, 13 Pro and Apple leather case for it.

It still works fine but stuff like this does irk me when I'm spending three figures on a charger.

Duo is a pretty ugly solution,anyway.

Ugly, why? It’s not meant for a constant table side solution. I’m a flight attendant so I’m constantly on the go. For me its the perfect solution to have in my bag. Fold it up, have one charger and one cable, charges all of my devices on my layover.

 

[jcshas]

I think Apple wants you to buy Apple Care instead of using a case.

What about the 13 Pro Max?
