Well. Apple reuses the branding. The MagSafe chargers for Mac do have indicator lights, while the MagSafe chargers for iPhone do not.

The magnetic chargers for Apple Watch also do not have lights. Neither do the USB-C cables for iPads and AirPods. I assume the newest AirPod cases still have charging lights though.

>MagSafe chargers for Mac do have indicator lights

Since we lost the on-MacBook charging lights (RIP).*

Apple Watch: set watch on charger or tap watch screen to check status. Same for iPhone. Tap AirPods case to see charging light as well.

*Guess I’ve survived without this, but it was a bummer my first Mac without it.

Really good point that those indicators are on-demand rather than always-on.

Succinct summary.

Ooh, “Your Apple Watch is fully charged.” notification on iPhone, that’s nice too. (Can sometimes just charge while showering/etc. and not think about it though.)
