Do you not use a case? Even cheap $20 cases have a magsafe ring in them which would make this work with the magsafe charger puck.

MagSafe chargers are Qi/Qi2 compatible. They'll charge without a magnetic ring.

Well yes of course. But the whole point of the ring is to align them perfectly so the efficiency is high and so you can use the phone without it falling off or losing alignment.
Using a case with the magnet ring in it solves this problem for the 16e without the ring in the phone itself.
