Unveiling the Truth: Apple Denies C1 Modem Rumors, MagSafe Mystery Continues on iPhone 16e
Apple has denied rumors suggesting that the removal of MagSafe from the iPhone 16e is due to interference with the new C1 modem. The rumor, initially reported by Macworld and supported by sources in the accessories industry, suggested that the magnets in the MagSafe system might affect the reliability of the C1 5G modem. Apple stated that the C1 modem is not responsible for the decision to remove MagSafe from the iPhone 16e. This leaves the reason for the removal unclear, though some speculate it could be a cost-saving measure or a way for Apple to differentiate the base model from mid-tier models like the iPhone 16.
