You can use the standard Apple wireless charger to charge the 16e, but you will have to simply place the 16e on the charger to charge the battery.
However......if you buy a special case for your 16e with a built in magnetic ring, that would allow the charger to magnetically "snap" to the iPhone 16e.

iPhone 16e is not MagSafe capable, but it is Qi wireless charging capable. So yes, you can use wireless charging, and just about an Qi wireless charger should work. Amazon has literally hundreds of options, such as this --> https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Qi-Certified-Compatible-Fast-Charging-PowerWave/dp/B07DBXZZN3/ref=sr_1_14?sr=8-14
Anker is a reputable brand.

Hi,
The iPhone 16e, is not Magsafe compatible, which means it cannot attach to a magnetic charger, it can however be placed on it and as long as the charger is Qi compatible it will charge, it just won't stick to it.
You can use a magsafe / magnetic case to make it stick to a magsafe charger though.
for example:
click here ➜ Temdan Magnetic Compatible with iPhone 17e Case & iPhone 16e Case - Amazon.com
For chargers, any magsafe or Qi charger should work.
for example:
click here ➜ Amazon Basics 25W Qi2.2 Certified Wireless Charging Pad, MagSafe Compatible for iPhone 17/16/15/14/13/12 - Amazon.com
