Aren't hidden or invisible rings bad for the battery?
Got myself a Samsung S26 Ultra with Spigen's Tough Armor a while ago and I'm generally pretty happy. Although, the more research I do into it, the more I'm starting to wonder if the fact my phone, my current case, and in fact most upper end cases keep the magnetic ring hidden isn't a massive design flaw?
Maybe I'm missing something here.
So, the idea that puts the "safe" in MagSafe is related to the battery degradation involved from misaligned wireless charging coils. The magnetic ring is meant to help snap it in place. But what if you can't see the ring? What if you're off? You lose the benefit and still degrade your battery faster.
Asking in good faith because I don't trust the responses from LLM and want to hear some actual people weigh in on this.
