Like USB-C, once you have multiple devices that can charge wirelessly you can potentially reduce the amount of chargers you have. If you have a MagSafe puck you can use it to charge your iPhone and AirPods.
Charge AirPods With MagSafe
The wireless MagSafe charger supports fast charging at up to 15 watts of power for the iPhone 12 product line. It’s also backwards-compatible with the wireless Qi standard, which means it can charge non-MagSafe devices like certain AirPods and iPhones at up to 7.5 watts.
