the charger tip alone has so much parts. that's crazy. looks very simple outside but very complicated when you open it

[nilomyki]

Hi, not sure if I missed it, but is there a component that does the job of MFI authentication like the USB-C to Lightning and Lightning to USB Cables do?

[ronnieryanpc]

I don’t mind whats inside, but how strong is the cable and puck soldering job? Seems like the USB C part is solid not sure about the other end

[willng]

I have a question, at 1:13 there is no phone connected to the magsafe charger but the power-z meter indicates 8.9V 1.5A, where does the power go??

[tymj]

Can you make a teardown vedio on cheap oraimo chargers

[김세준-hx]

Doesn't it have a nfc coil that is in any other MagSafe accessories?

[FikralKeren]

why magsafe is faster than thirdparty magsafe (anker mophie etc). Is it because of coil winding difference or Echip or software limitation?

Now 2024 15 pro&pro max coil is Qi2 standart & apple unlock 15 watt for 13-14 pro series...why?

[watchbreaker]

If some equipment seems to be to robust, just place some important circuits in its plug… and voila! Your not reparable pice of junk is ready!

[tycox]

So THAT’s why it costs 2x to 3x of third party offerings. I’m less irritated now. However, I still feel Magsafe ruined the primary benefit of wireless charging…one handed convenience. Now it takes two hands to disconnect the phone from its charger! To me, that is a plug connection.

[wolfganglienbacher]

the part at 2:10 is so incredibly painful to watch. I really appreciate you tearing it down this far, but please take yourself a little bit more time. Properly clamp the device in a fixture, use a tweezer and little force. It will be so much more elegant and less destructive!

[alexmurat]

Great video. Thanks for the input. Does the Magsafe charger not have an NFC chip?

[RegnierProductions]

Would it work if you directly supply power to the puck for a DIY project, or are the electronics in the wire by the usb c necessary for controlling the power/charging? I would like the 15w fast charging for what I am trying to do and this is the only wireless option that offers that, I just want to directly power it without the wire.

[ngohung]

Thank you for great tear down 😊I just wonder if which one I should choose: Belkin or Apple wireless charger ? Which one is the internal better quality?

[emmanuelguinoo]

where to get the power meter? available in amazon?
