Testing confirms MagSafe doesn’t interfere with Apple’s C1 modem in iPhone 16e

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-06-04 23:32:05

The iPhone 16e lacks support for MagSafe charging, an omission that has dominated conversations about Apple’s cheapest iPhone model this week. Initially, there was speculation that MagSafe might have been excluded due to interference with Apple’s C1 chip, which is its first-ever cellular modem designed for the iPhone. Yesterday, Apple confirmed that the C1 has nothing to do with the omission of MagSafe on the iPhone 16e. New testing conducted by an iPhone case accessory manufacturer and shared

The Morning After: Apple reveals its new cheapest iPhone. What’s missing?

The price has been bumped up, but so have the specs. If you couldn’t stomach $800 for a new iPhone with Apple Intelligence, don’t worry: Apple just announced the iPhone 16e. At $599, it strikes a balance on specs, which is the soft and cosy way to say it doesn’t have everything. It has a lot, though. With a 6.1-inch screen, it’s a much bigger device than the 4.7-inch iPhone SE, with a notch for FaceID (no more TouchID), USB-C (adios, Lightning) and the company’s A18 processor. There’s also an

On Thursday, Japanese peripheral maker Green House released a line of Hello Kitty smartwatches that are so adorable that I was annoyed by how boring most smartwatches look these days.

Brentford travel to Leicester on Friday as they aim to do the league double over the Foxes for the first time since 1953. The Bees come into this English Premier League clash off the back of a battling 1-0 London derby win away at West Ham last weekend. That result has given Thomas Frank's men a 4-point buffer in 11th spot over 12th-placed capital rivals Tottenham.
