Overview
- Instant Digital, a Weibo leaker, claimed Wednesday that Apple is debating whether to keep MagSafe as a standard iPhone feature.
- MacRumors relayed the post while AppleInsider called the claim weak because it relies on one source and lacks supply‑chain or analyst support.
- Dummy models for the rumored foldable iPhone Ultra show no space for the internal magnet ring, and reports say the device could be about 4.5 mm thin when unfolded.
- Every new iPhone currently sold supports MagSafe after Apple restored it on the iPhone 17e, and the Qi2 wireless charging standard now uses MagSafe’s magnet alignment system.
- Coverage notes Apple could limit in‑device magnets on certain models or lean on cases with built‑in rings, a shift that would affect how people charge, mount, and accessorize their phones.
