wouldn't that mean if you take your phone, the charger still sticks to it?
when I was using qi, I'd have it on my desk, and of course I regularly pick up my phone with one hand to do something with it or take it with me, can't un-stick a charger at the same time with one hand...
- eternityforest 4y agoIsn't that a feature, since it allows while in use charging?

- mattmaroon 4y agoYou can unstick it with one hand easily because you’re normally using something like a vertical stand or a mat that’s heavy enough. You just have to lift the phone from the bottom or top rather than the middle.
- JonathonW 4y agoIt doesn't stick strongly enough that you can't push it off with your fingers-- easier to do that one-handed than unplugging a Lightning or USB-C cable. With a heavier Magsafe charger (like most of the stands out there), you can just lift the phone off and the charger won't come with it. MagSafe's just strong enough to hold a phone on a stand or hold a charger puck to the phone, but not much more.
- msisk6 4y agoI pick up my iPhone on a MagSafe charger with one hand all the time. As I pick it up I just use a finger to slide the MagSafe puck sideways and it releases. Not a big deal at all.

- Tagbert 4y agoI went one on the night stand. It’s in an holder with a gecko-style sticky bottom so it doesn’t move.
