I have a wireless charger in the car, which has clasps to hold the phone. It has never misaligned. This simpler solution seems preferable to the more complex MagSafe solution.

Clasps? Have you ever felt an Apple watch just snap onto the charger? Feels like magic

Maybe it's because I have been playing with magnets since I was a kid, things snapping together because of magnets are no longer magical, although ferrofluids are still pretty cool.

What is complicated about a magnet?

The process to manufacture a magnet and insert it into the product is more complicated than adding extensions to the plastic mold to form clasps.
