All iPhone 16 models feature Apple’s MagSafe feature, which offers faster wireless charging with compatible chargers. It also supports optional accessories – including the MagSafe wallet, mini wallets and various holders – that magnetically adhere to the back of your phone. Like the iPhone 15, the iPhone 16 has “an array of magnets” (Apple says they’re recycled) embedded around a charging coil that can pull up to 15 watts of power.
If you want to use those MagSafe accessories without taking your phone out of its case, you need a phone case that is equipped with MagSafe support. The MagSafe symbol is a circle with a short pipe underneath. You can see it on clear cases, but it is embedded inside the case, so if it is not transparent, you will only see it from the inside.
If you already have a MagSafe accessory – or plan to buy MagSafe accessories in the future – you’ll want to get a MagSafe compatible case; it’s a good option to have. With that in mind, most of the cases in this roundup are equipped with MagSafe.
