If your MagSafe charger disconnects randomly during the night, you might wake up to an uncharged phone. This is caused by:
1. **Thick non-magnetic cases**: The magnetic field is too weak to hold alignment. 2. **Weak case magnets**: Cheap third-party cases use low-grade magnets that shift easily.
Ensure you use cases with built-in N52 neodymium magnetic rings that lock the charger securely in place.
