According to a recent support document released by Apple regarding the iPhone 12 charging case, MagSafe has certain safety protocols that need to be followed. After reading the recently passed support document, one can simply understand that the new MagSafe wireless charging system has some notable downsides. Apple warns buyers of iPhone 12 series phones about the MagSafe technology in a series of bullet points, it says-

• As per Apple, iPhone 12 users should not place credit cards, security badges, passports, or key fobs between the iPhone and MagSafe Charger, because this might damage magnetic strips or RFID chips in those items. 
• It asks users, if they have a case with above-mentioned sensitive items, a user must remove them before charging or make sure that they are not between the back of your device and the charger.
• The organisation also speaks about charging capabilities. It says that while charging iPhone or MagSafe Charger might get slightly warmer. This is why to extend the lifespan of your battery, the software might limit charging above 80 percent. The iPhone or MagSafe Charger could get warmer and charging could take longer after heavy use. Your iPhone will charge again when the temperature drops. Try moving your iPhone and charger to a cooler location.
• Apple also mentions that the iPhone would not be charged wirelessly if the MagSafe is simultaneously connected to power via the Lightning port. However, your iPhone will charge via the Lightning connector.
• Apple also drops some light on the cleaning of the MagSafe wireless chargers. It says that the MagSafe Charger should be only clean after it is disconnected from power. It also asks users to use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth to wipe the silicone middle of the charging area. Apple prohibits the use of window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide.
