Qi wireless charging is available on the following iPhone models:

- iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max

These models work with a Qi-certified wireless charging pad. The iPhone 16e supports Qi charging but does not have MagSafe magnetic alignment.
Which iPhones Support MagSafe?
MagSafe support starts with the iPhone 12 series. Compatible models include:
- iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max
- iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max
- iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max
- iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max

- iPhone Air
- iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max
- iPhone Duo
The iPhone 17e supports MagSafe charging at up to 15W. The iPhone Air supports up to 20W. Charging speeds for the iPhone 17, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo depend on the charger and power adapter.
Do iPhone SE Models Have Wireless Charging?
Yes. The iPhone SE (2nd generation) and iPhone SE (3rd generation) both support Qi wireless charging.
Neither model has built-in MagSafe magnets. A MagSafe charger can charge either phone, but it will not attach magnetically as it does to an iPhone 12 or newer MagSafe model.
Do iPhone 7 and Older Models Support Wireless Charging?
No. The iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and earlier iPhone models do not include built-in Qi wireless charging. Wireless charging starts with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
Can a MagSafe Charger Charge an Older iPhone?
Yes. A MagSafe charger can charge compatible Qi iPhones, including the iPhone 8, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone 11 and iPhone 16e.
These phones do not support the full MagSafe experience:
- The charger will not lock magnetically onto the phone.
- Charging may be slower than on a MagSafe-compatible iPhone.
- A suitable MagSafe case or magnetic accessory may help with alignment.
Apple lists these models as compatible with charging from a MagSafe charger, but they are not full MagSafe devices.
Bottom Line
Choose an iPhone 8 or newer if you only need wireless charging. Choose an iPhone 12 or newer if you want magnetic attachment and MagSafe accessories, except for the iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) and iPhone 16e.
