I am stuck on MagSafe, because MagSafe isn't stuck on my phone

Why haven't more Android manufacturers taken this idea from Apple?

If you haven't used a recent iPhone, the term MagSafe might bring back memories of Apple's laptop chargers, not its smartphones. Introduced with the iPhone 12, this current iteration of MagSafe is a line of magnetic accessories, including wallets, PopSockets, stands, car mounts, and more. It also supports wireless Qi charging, whether through wired pucks or removable battery packs. At its core, it's yet another way for Apple — and third-party manufacturers — to sell optional accessories to iPhone users. That said, I think that's a pretty pessimistic outlook on what is, in actuality, a fantastic tool when used correctly.

Why would I want something that's inherently less efficient than directly plugging into phone?

Have you tried a band-aid?

There is a "magsafe" USB cable. Although depending how dirty the contacts are the power transfer rate can fluctuate. I used to use them on my old micro USB phone when the micro USB became finicky, that way I wouldn't further destroy the plug.
