Size Comparison
Wireless Charging & MagSafe
Wireless chargers work with both phones, but magnetic snap varies.
- Your MagSafe charger will charge the iPhone 16e via Qi, but it won't magnetically snap on.
- Only the iPhone 16 has built-in magnets for MagSafe accessories. The iPhone 16e needs a magnetic case or ring adapter.
iPhone 16e
Qi only
7.5W max
iPhone 16
MagSafe Gen 2
22.5W max
MagSafe cases are NOT cross-compatible between these devices — the case body is shaped to each phone, even though the internal magnet ring may be the same.
