Is Apple really thinking about ditching MagSafe from future iPhones? A new Weibo rumor from Instant Digital claims there's internal debate at Apple over whether MagSafe should stick around — and yeah, that sounds wild. In this video, I break down why I don't buy it. MagSafe helped solve wireless charging alignment, created an entire accessory ecosystem, influenced the Qi2 standard, and now supports faster 25W charging through newer MagSafe and Qi2 25W accessories. We'll talk about the rumor, why removing MagSafe would be a massive step backward, what it could mean for future iPhones like the folding iPhone, and why Apple abandoning MagSafe just doesn't make much sense.Real quick, if you want to keep up to date with the latest Apple news, rumors, accessories, and reviews, hit that subscribe button!Thanks to ESR for sponsoring this video!🛒 Shop ESR Classic Hybrid Magnetic Case https://bit.ly/4inLjne🛒 Shop ESR UltraFit Armorite Pro Screen Protector: https://bit.ly/3XhtvACShop AppleInsider merch https://cottonbureau.com/people/appleinsiderGrab the LOWEST prices on Apple gear! 👇Macs - https://prices.appleinsider.com/current-geniPads - https://prices.appleinsider.com/ipadApple Watches - https://prices.appleinsider.com/apple-watchAirPods - https://prices.appleinsider.com/apple-airpodsAppleInsider may earn commission on purchases made through affiliate links and may receive products for the purpose of review.Ethics policy: https://appleinsider.com/help/ethics/Follow our social channels! 👇Twitter - https://twitter.com/appleinsider/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AppleInsiderdotcom/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/appleinsider/Download our iOS app - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/appleinsider/id578462575New here?

Apple just fixed the biggest problems with the iPhone 17e, and after going hands-on with the real device, it's now incredibly easy to recommend.The new iPhone 17e keeps the same familiar design and 6.1-inch display, but Apple made two major upgrades that dramatically improve the value of its budget iPhone.First, Apple doubled the base storage from 128GB to 256GB — without increasing the price. In a world where photos, apps, and videos eat up storage quickly, this alone makes the iPhone 17e far more practical for everyday users.Second — and maybe even more importantly — MagSafe is finally here. That means full compatibility with MagSafe chargers, stands, wallets, and car mounts that many iPhone users rely on daily.Beyond those upgrades, the iPhone 17e also includes:• The new A19 chip• A 48MP camera with improved portrait capabilities• Ceramic Shield 2 for improved durability• A 6.1-inch display with the familiar notch• Up to 26 hours of battery life• A new soft pink color alongside black and whiteAfter getting to spend time hands-on with the iPhone 17e at Apple's event, it's clear Apple didn't reinvent the phone — but they absolutely made it much easier to recommend.If you want to stay up to date with all the latest Apple news, rumors, and reviews, make sure to subscribe!Chapters 0:00 Intro0:34 Design & Colors1:14 Camera2:23 A19 Processor3:18 Storage4:01 MagSafe & ChargingShop AppleInsider merch https://cottonbureau.com/people/appleinsiderGrab the LOWEST prices on Apple gear! 👇Macs - https://prices.appleinsider.com/current-geniPads - https://prices.appleinsider.com/ipadApple Watches - https://prices.appleinsider.com/apple-watchAirPods - https://prices.appleinsider.com/apple-airpodsAppleInsider may earn commission on purchases made through affiliate links and may receive products for the purpose of review.Ethics policy: https://appleinsider.com/help/ethics/Follow our social channels! 👇Twitter - https://twitter.com/appleinsider/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AppleInsiderdotcom/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/appleinsider/Download our iOS app - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/appleinsider/id578462575New here?
