Apple Prototype MagSafe iPhone Chargers in Various Colors Including Unreleased ‘Magic Charger’ Stand

Apple has unveiled at least one color version of its MagSafe Charger for iPhone, hinting that the company may one day release the new version of the device in more color options beyond the standard silver model.

That’s the claim made by the Twitter account. @KosutamiSan. According to a collector of rare Apple products, the prototype information they found suggests that Apple plans to release a “color version” of its current MagSafe charger.

Apple includes a color-matched MagSafe 3 charging cable in the box with the MacBook Air, but makes them available for purchase separately in four MacBook Air colors: Space Gray, Silver, Midnight, and Starlight.

As @KosutamiSan pointed out, Apple’s colored MagSafe chargers for iPhones have more color saturation than MagSafe power cables. The collector shared an image of the starlight-colored MagSafe puck seen above as an example, and claims that Apple has designed similarly colored versions for an unreleased horizontal stand-based model called the “Magic Charger.”

It’s unclear whether the prototype colored chargers were designed to match unreleased iPhone colors, but they weren’t mass-produced. Similarly, it’s unclear if Apple intends to launch colored versions in the future, but the prototype tidbit is interesting, and there’s a chance that Apple could compete with its rivals in the new Qi2 market, which is set to release its additional MagSafe charger. Join us later this year.

Apple is contributing to a new version of the Qi open standard and it works just like MagSafe. As a result, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 models are expected to support 15W wireless charging, even when using third-party chargers that aren’t certified by Apple, removing a key barrier for third-party wireless chargers to compete with the company’s MagSafe accessory.
