iFixit has today shared a teardown of Apple's new MagSafe charger for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro.

An X-ray of the MagSafe charger courtesy of Creative Electron reveals the internal charging coil surrounded by a circular arrangement of magnets within the puck.

The main difference is the dark ring of magnets around the exterior in the MagSafe charger, which corresponds to magnets within the ‌iPhone 12‌ and ‌iPhone 12 Pro‌?

Since it's held with magnets I'm going to have to grab the charger and pull it off in order to disconnect it.

I'm curious how the magnets work with the 12's internal compass, or if the 12 even has an internal compass

I loved MagSafe, but doesn't this kind of defeat a big purpose of wireless charging
