You told us: Most of you don’t use MagSafe, but it still has plenty of fans
August 12, 2025
Apple’siPhone 12range offered a rather interesting feature dubbed MagSafe last year, featuring a set of magnets on the back of the phones for use with accessories like chargers, cases, and more.
The feature surfaced again with the iPhone 13 series, while Android case makers have created phone cases so Android devices can use MagSafe accessories too. Are readers using MagSafe though? We asked this question in arecent opinion pieceon the tech, and here’s what you said.
Are you using any MagSafe accessories?
The poll was posted inside our article on Sunday, December 12, garnering a pretty respectable 2,200 votes to date. The result? Well, it turns out that almost half of all respondents (47.9%) say they have an Android phone and don’t use MagSafe accessories. This represents the biggest single pick of the lot.
It’s no real surprise to see most Android-toting users aren’t using MagSafe peripherals, as the tech isn’t built into Android phones (forcing you to buy a third-party case).
The second-most popular option was “I have an iPhone, yes,” earning almost 24% of the vote. This makes sense given that we’re on our second generation of iPhones natively supporting the tech and there’s a rich ecosystem of compatible accessories.
Nevertheless, ~15% of voters say they have an iPhone and still don’t use the tech. Presumably, these users are either happy with their existing accessories, don’t know or care about MagSafe, or have an older device that doesn’t support it.
Finally, almost 13% of respondents say they have an Android phone and use MagSafe accessories. Companies like Moment indeed offer cases that enable MagSafe on devices like thePixel 6 seriesandGalaxy S21 range. And with use-cases beyond wireless charging, such as tripod mounting, PopSockets, and more, we can see why Android users might want to get in on the action.
When we look at it another way, almost two-thirds of polled readers say they don’t use MagSafe on Apple or Android devices. But just over a third of respondents said they used the tech on their iPhone or Android phone.
