The Apple MagSafe Battery Pack costs $99 and works with the iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. If you’re looking for something that can double as a charging pad and an on-the-go wireless battery pack, the MagSafe Battery Pack is a solid option. But if you are willing to part with some of Apple’s built-in niceties, there are third-party batteries that are a better value.

    I don’t know how to respond to this .. might as well build a phone into a battery and carry the battery in our pockets .. 350grams including the battery pack . that’s just stupid.

    The crypto market has been unstable people ask themselves if this is the right time to buy the dip or sell their hodlings. Before jumping into conclusion I think you should take a look at things first. BTC price fall means analyst remain divided over whether it is entering a bear market or is just suffering a brief correction on the road to more record highs. Investor who bought early are still in profit despite the recent price crash and they also earn by trading I’m still an investor and still I’m winning by applying the same method in every trade you can also become a winner today. we should follow the way of earning more regardless of the current market (bulls or bears ), which is trading. buy the dip and trader ….I have made over 5 btc profit not just buying the dip but implementing tradess with s!gnals supplied by Antonio Ethan’s . you can easily get to him on =at w°h°a°t°s°A°P°P[

    I also just wish they doubled the thickness of the mini for a bigger battery inside and it would be the ultimate phone

    Hi , yesterday I bought an iPhone 12 from the shop advised me to apply a silicon screen protector those thatthey apply with a machine, telling me that it better protects from falls and scratches. (I paid it 20 più da) but I noticed that it is very thin. Do you thinn that this silicon screen protector is really better than the temperate glass one?

    Wait, $99 and I only get a little over half a recharge for my iPhone 12?? Oh Apple… lol

    I ended up picking up one of these because every other option is either way uglier or not as simple. Also:
    1. Why would a MagSafe product use anything other than lightning? It’s not meant for anything g other than an iPhone
    2. Why would I want a waste of time and materials put into adding a charger and a chord when I already have 4 of them? That’s so wasteful

    There’s a lot great about this product, but just lacking some key things that make me not want it.

    When Jobs was alive and he found out HP was selling the land he eventually bought for Apple’s HQ, he commented something about how it was sad that HP had lost the innovation they once had or something to that effect. What’s sad now, is Apple has become IBM or HP, no longer innovating, but doing what they can and playing it safe to make a buck on their customers. Apple doesn’t innovate for technologies sake – even Microsoft still does this from time to time, but Apple innovates in a closed wall environment punishing their most loyalty customer by squeezing every dollar they can and than punishing their budget conscious customer by selling them low spec’ed technology and medium to high prices compared to other vendors with much better specs. Apple’s innovation has become the “Dollar Grab” for customers at their stores already buying an iPhone to also pick up a battery back for twice as much as other better valued products and not include a charging cable or brick, to make you spend even more while fooling you that they are creating less waste. Way to go Apple 👍😆 To bad Woz didn’t stay with the company. He was the last innovative employee Apple had that really wanted to give back to the world.

    20W chargers have gotten so inexpensive on Amazon and for ones that are much smaller than Apple’s, so that doesn’t bother me at all, I already own 3 or 4, but the fact that this charges my 12 up to 60% bothers me, since I have an old Aukey USB-C power bank that can fully charge my 12 from dead, and still have around 30-40% power left after that. only thing that’s stopping me from getting this!

    Don’t waste your time with Apple 🍎 products, just buy Chinese brands : Am already using 1 with a 5200 Mah battery 🔋, 4 gb Ram and 64 gb ROM, the current models are even much better in everything…. and guess what they cost from $ 160 – 350 depending, that’s quarter the price of the iphones, or same price as ipods, magsafes etc

    Use a 20w charger to charge your battery. Which would allow you to charge the phone at 15w 😆😆 might as well charge the phone and than later charge the batter

  32. Ian Jessop

    August 2, 2021 at 12:48 pm

    What about the fact that you can’t charge the battery pack via wireless charging like the old smart battery case could?

  33. N Lee

    August 2, 2021 at 1:46 pm

    Can it be used with other brand phones

  34. dman7895

    August 2, 2021 at 4:04 pm

    “It starts charging at 5 watts… which is equivalent to… crap”. Buy third party guys and do not reward this Apple failure

    • Martin Evans

      August 4, 2021 at 3:56 pm

      You don’t get the point of this , it’s a trickle charge to add power all day long , not a portable charger

  35. NimzoXD

    August 2, 2021 at 4:27 pm

    I’m using it on my 12 pro right now and it really kinda sucks. My phone was at 40% when I put it on my phone and its actually lost 2% since then.

    iphone 13 is coming without batteries.

  52. Dom Teewhy

    August 4, 2021 at 11:44 pm

    No desire to pick one up.
    1- the batteries are mostly sufficient
    2- the charging/port availability is far superior to what it was
    3- it doesn’t provide the benefit at the 100$ price point. At least in most circumstances.

    I see some specialty uses, but generally not interested .

    The 15w charging function is nice but wireless pads can be had very reasonable now
