Yes it is, because it generates way more heat.

It’s convenience vs longevity.

If you have access to official battery replacement it’s not much a worry but if you live in a country without it, it probably is.

Reply to comment by Bdndxjdl in MagSafe charger? by itsquill

I use a magsafe pop wallet and it feels more secure than my old style wallet and now I can actually use my wireless charging pad in my car which is nice.

All wireless charging banks charge lesser, charge slower, and gets warmer faster, compared to wired charging. It has to do with the physics and inefficiency of induction charging.

Although yes, trusted brands work better than random brands. And that the heat generated might not be significant enough to damage the battery. I personally use a Magsafe charger for overnight charging and hasn't seen my battery health move the past 1+ years.

Not trying to worry you but I thought I’d start MagSafe charging with my new 14ProMax. I brought an ESR brand 10000mAh powerbank/pass through one with a kickstand. My battery health dropped in 1 month. I also had ā€œcharging paused due to heatā€ messages sometimes. It could be coincidence but I stopped using it and went back to 20W Apple charging via lightning cable and my battery health stopped dropping and has remained the same. I do have a separate MagSafe mounted to the air vent in the car though and I do use that still. Make of all that what you willšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
