THERE are a few important things to remember whenever you charge your iPhone if you want to keep it in good working order for as long as possible.
The MagSafe Charger is a popular accessory for re-powering your iPhone wirelessly.

But some users may not realise they’re using the device wrong.
For starters, Apple says you must keep your MagSafe Charger face up.
It also needs to be kept on a flat surface.
And you mustn’t have any metal objects or other material near it.
There’s one other very “important” piece of guidance Apple has.
“It’s important to plug into a power source before placing your iPhone on the MagSafe Charger,” the firm says.
“This allows MagSafe to verify that it’s safe to deliver maximum power.
“If you happen to place your iPhone on the MagSafe Charger before plugging in to a power source, simply remove your iPhone from the MagSafe Charger, wait three seconds, and then put it back on to resume maximum power delivery.”

The tech giant has warned people to not place things like credit cards, security badges, passports or key fobs between your iPhone and MagSafe Charger either.
Doing so risks damaging the magnetic strips or RFID chips in those items.
“If you have a case that holds any of these sensitive items, remove them before charging or make sure they aren’t between the back of your device and the charger,” Apple adds.
“If you keep your iPhone in a leather case while charging with your MagSafe Charger, the case may show circular imprints from compression of the leather.
“This is normal, but if you’re concerned about this, we suggest using a non-leather case.”
