iPhone SE-2 and non-plug in power adapters

Can an iPhone SE-2 be charged by the adapters that have a round disc at end of the cord opposite the plug that goes in the electrical outlet? The power adapter is one that just touches phone instead of plugging in at the bottom. I can plug a cord in my phone but I have this other kind of power adapter cord and want to know if needed it can be used in case I do not have a plug-in-phone cord available. The disc does not seem to magnetically attach solidly to the iPhone. Apple iPhone SE (2nd generation) is not on the list of Apple products to choose for the submittal.

Hello,

1) If you are referring to MagSafe, the answer is no. See this:

How to use your MagSafe Charger with iPhone 14, iPhone 13, and iPhone 12 models - Apple Support

2) If you are referring to wireless QI chargers, see this:

How to wirelessly charge your iPhone - Apple Support

3) Apple watch charges also have a disc at the end. They will not work.

Good luck.

Thank you for answering “MrBill3”. I googled Magsafe and Qi. Magsafe appears to be much larger than what I have and I took a look at a Logitech 3-in-1 charge station-like item included in “images” of my search and I guess what is the wireless white round charger in that Logitech item’s picture also looks bigger than what I have. What I have is found and not on-purpose bought but it looks like a charge cord of some sort with a small round on the end that reminds me of a “Smartie” candy because it has a contour. I’ll take another look, measure and may get back here with that info. I just know it’s weird because it doesn’t attach like it goes together with an iPhone at all and that contour is puzzling to me. It has a long cord though, longer than a standard iPhone “lightning cable”. Maybe I’ll see if I can include photos here and take a couple to include here. Thanks again.
