MagSafe

Snap-on phone charging

MagSafe is Apple's magnetic connector technology, originally for laptop charging cables that detach cleanly when yanked, preventing the computer from being pulled off a surface.

The name combines "magnetic" and "safe." Apple later applied the brand to wireless charging and accessory attachment systems for iPhones: The MagSafe charger snaps right onto the back of the phone.
