Is the MagSafe charger compatible with the iPhone XR?

My boyfriend has the iPhone XR. Is the MagSafe charger compatible and is there an iPhone MagSafe Case for his phone? What generation is the iPhone XR? Wanting to buy this for him for Christmas.


Thanks.

Magsafe is a feature that works best with the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 13 lineups.

The MagSafe charger would certainly charge the XR, but what makes MagSafe so slick is the magnets built into the iPhone that align and lock the accessories into place. The XR does not have those magnets.


Also, if you choose to purchase the MagSafe charger for your boyfriend, note that it does not come with the actual charger. You would need a USB C power supply to go along with it, unless he has one already.
