Magsafe is the marketing term for a specific layout and design of magnets for a specific purpose that is crucial to the function of the cool AF thing OP made, which you didn’t bother mentioning at all…

“Magsafe” is Apple marketing nonsense. Theyre just called magnets.

A specific layout and design that this product doesn’t even use, and isn’t at all important to its operation.

It sticks to his phone via a 3rd party magsafe adapter, presumably like the one I have on my phone to mount a popsocket and shit

We are surrounded by marketing lingo, the thing is if someone says magsafe to me I’ll know exactly what they are talking about, but if they just say “it’s held with magnets”, or “it’s held with a ring of magnets” it will take a bit more explanation of how the magnets are oriented, and more words to describe than just saying magsafe. You and I we don’t like apple, but who cares if magsafe becomes a linguistic term for “ring of magnets that holds and charges a smart phone around the battery”.
