Last week, Apple surprisingly introduced new accessories for the iPhone 12 series. The new Apple MagSafe Battery Pack is now officially available.
In recent months, there have been repeated rumors that Apple is working on its own MagSafe battery. Last week, the time finally came. The company has somewhat surprisingly presented a corresponding product. The new accessory costs around 109 euros and can conveniently charge an iPhone 12 model on the go. One of the most important differences between Apple's MagSafe Battery Pack and the competition is that Apple's version actually offers MagSafe technology. All other products are just external batteries with a Qi charging coil and some magnets. This means that by using real MagSafe instead of Qi, Apple's battery gets improved efficiency.

It can also transmit up to 15W of power. Normal portable Qi batteries are usually limited to 5W. Apple's version is also limited to 5W on the go. But when connected to a cable, it delivers a maximum charging power of 15W - which is significantly more. The next advantage is that when the MagSafe Battery Pack is attached to your iPhone and you connect it to the power, your phone and the external battery are charged. Since the product supports reverse charging, it also works the other way around. The brand new MagSafe battery joins an existing accessory ecosystem of wireless battery packs that have been introduced since the iPhone 12 was released. The product is now available from Apple as well as Amazon available. So if you are interested, you can order it directly or pick it up at the Apple Store. To use it, you will need iOS 14.7 or later.
