It works fine, you just have to manually align it, like any other Qi charger.

I half suspect you're trolling based on this and your other comments under this post, but in case you're not, the Magsafe charger specs state they are Qi compatible.

I assume it's some elaborate mounting thing if you spent that much on it, but actually a magsafe charger will act as a standard Qi charger as well.

I wonder if one of those MagSafe cases that basically "passthrough" the MagSafe magnets in the phone would work.

Is MagSafe worth it? I think I've misaligned my iPhone 12 mini once on my Qi charger total over the past five years or so.

Well I have an ancient wireless charger (power unknown) that doubles as a stand that I got for free as swag from some conference. I just keep my magsafe supporting phone on it when I'm not using it and done.

Look ma, no magnets!

does the target market for a cheap iphone spend $150 on a charger?

Then sell it and buy a $10 Qi charger.
