Apple Cases, Tempered Glass, Cables & Spare Parts in Switzerland

MagSafe was introduced with iPhone 12 in autumn 2020. Every iPhone from model 12 onwards supports MagSafe — including iPhone 16e and iPhone Air. iPhone 11, XS, XR, X, SE 2022/2020 and older only support Qi charging without magnetic snap.

Lightning is Apple's connector from 2012-2022 — iPhones up to 14, AirPods Pro Gen 1. USB-C is the new standard from iPhone 15 and on iPad Pro/Air and MacBook for years. MagSafe is wireless charging via magnet ring — complementing from iPhone 12.

For Lightning yes — cheap unbranded cables lack the MFi chip and are often rejected as not-supported-accessory by iOS updates. For USB-C any USB-C PD cable works — no MFi needed but 60-240 W rating should be declared.

Apple usually delivers 5-7 years of iOS/iPadOS updates per model. macOS supports MacBooks 6-8 years. If your model falls out of support, a spare part or battery swap is often more worthwhile than buying new.
