The iPhone 16e doesn't support MagSafe or fast wireless charging.

Apple introduced MagSafe to its smartphones with the iPhone 12 as a magnetic accessory and charging standard.

MagSafe borrows the name of the magnetic connectors on Apple 's laptops.

It's likely one of the main reasons why MagSafe was adopted into the wider Qi2 wireless charging standard — it just makes the whole thing more convenient.
