Apple MagSafe Battery Pack; Convenience Instead Of Capacity

The MagSafe Battery Pack Is A Rectangular Device That Connects To The Back Of The iPhone 12 To Charge The Phone. This Is Apple’s Third Attempt To Build An External Battery Solution For The iPhone, And It Looks Like We’re Dealing With A Different Product This Time Around. 

However, if you are planning to buy this product for $ 99, you should note that even Apple does not have the ability to change freak rules.

In short, these rules state that batteries that can fully charge the iPhone 12 will have a large design, and small batteries that do not add a weird look to the back of the iPhone 12 will not have enough power to charge it fully…

However, Apple has managed to strike the right balance between charging power and the right size, but the result is a product that can only charge the iPhone, and this has caused major damage to the product.

The most important positive thing about the new MagSafe battery is its use as a wireless fast charger. Now the main question is whether this device is worth paying $ 99 considering the competition in the market.

The MagSafe battery does not have enough power to charge the iPhone 12 mini fully, and in 130 minutes, it can only charge 83% of the phone. However, in tests performed to reduce the battery temperature increase its life, the battery did not connect to the phone charger, and therefore its charging speed reduces to 5 watts. In general, this small battery does not have enough power to charge the phone fully, and in larger phones, the iPhone 12 will not be able to provide an 83% charge.

The MagSafe battery pack uses a 1.460 mAh battery, but this number is not comparable to other existing batteries because the MegSaf battery supports 7.62 volts current and output power.

Therefore, the power of 11.13 watts per hour of MagSafe battery is a more important number. By comparison, an Anker 5000 mAh battery with wireless charging support costs less than $ 50. This battery has a power of 18.5 watts, so the difference between the two batteries is less than it initially seems.

Talking about battery specifications is fun, but the truth is that the MegSife battery pack is small.

This battery is designed to be easy to carry, so it is best to accept it as a product that keeps your phone a little brighter. Also, the software section of MagSafe is well coordinated with the iPhone, and the amount of charge of the phone and battery is displayed on the iPhone screen.

When you connect the MagSafe to your phone for the first time, a message is displayed stating that the battery cannot charge the phone 90%. The final stages of charging the phone always put a lot of pressure on the battery, and the same goes for the MagSafe battery.

This is a clever move by Apple, but if you really need the final 10%, you can force the battery to charge above 90% by holding down the battery icon in the Control Center.

In general, the MagSafe battery pack provides the user with a better experience compared to the larger anchor battery. However, the anchor battery also has its own characteristics and has performed better in parts of the MagSafe.

For example, this battery has more power and supports a USB-C port. This port allows the battery to be charged and other devices to be charged via wire. The anchor battery may not be as appealing as the MagSafe, but it’s definitely more efficient than that. The MegSife battery lightning port makes it possible to use the charging cable of iPhones, which is a positive point, but unfortunately, like the USB-C port, it does not have the ability to charge two-way.

The MagSafe battery pack sits exactly on the side edges of the iPhone 12 Mini and is easier to hold than expected. However, if you use other iPhone 12 series phones, using MegSaf will reduce their attractive appearance. It seems that Apple has designed this product for use in the iPhone 12 mini. Of course, all external batteries are square or rectangular pieces of plastic and metal and do not look attractive.

In the design of MagSafe, matte white color is used, which is resistant to stains and fingerprints.

The connection of this battery to the phone is easy, and its magnets are also mighty. Of course, these magnets are not powerful enough to damage your credit cards.

Many external batteries are removed by shaking the phone, but fortunately, this problem was not seen in the MegSaf battery pack. However, if you plan to use a protective frame on your phone, it is best to use a frame equipped with a magnet that supports the MagSafe connection.

After testing several MegSaf batteries on different versions of the iPhone 12, it became clear that the main importance of MegSaf is not in its battery but its charging adapter. If you look at the MagSafe battery pack as an extra battery charger, its high price may seem a bit more reasonable. The MagSafe case is priced at $ 40, and in that sense, it has snatched the lead from the MagSafe case battery pack.

Apple was expected to ship the MagSafe battery pack with a Lightning cable or charging adapter, but this did not happen.

If you connect the MagSafe battery to a charging adapter with enough power, this battery, like the MagSafe charger, gives you the ability to charge the phone to 15 watts. The MagSafe charger has the ability to charge the phone as well as your own, and you can also use the iPhone’s reverse charge feature to charge the MagSafe battery. Unfortunately, unlike Android phones, the iPhone’s reverse charging capability is not usable for other devices such as AirPods.

Conclusion

The best feature of the MagSafe battery is its wireless charging capability. This battery is not very powerful, and you can not expect it to charge the phone fully. Apple has chosen the second option from increasing the size and capacity of the battery or reducing them, which many people believe was the right decision. However, the $ 99 price tag of the MegSife battery, compared to the cheaper options that support more devices, makes it impossible to offer this product to all users.

What do you think of the MagSafe battery pack? Was it the right decision by Apple to reduce the capacity of this product to make it smaller? Could you share your comments with us?
