Apple MagSafe Power Bank for iPhone 12

An interesting solution was offered by Apple to its fans. The MagSafe external battery for iPhone 12 smartphones saw the light of day. The cost of new items is only $ 99. It’s strange that the American brand didn’t run any advertisements or make presentations. The product just appeared in the company's online store. Perhaps the market saw a test batch, which is destined to explode the market or quickly leave it.

Apple MagSafe Battery for iPhone 12

 

The price of an external battery with a capacity of 1460 mAh MagSafe is justified by the functionality. The peculiarity of the battery is that it supports reverse wireless charging. That is, on the one hand, the external battery powers the smartphone. On the other hand, a cable-connected iPhone 12 charges the external battery. The solution is very interesting, convenient and practical.

 

A discussion of the novelty has already begun on social networks. Some buyers are happy with this decision. There are also opponents of the Apple MagSafe battery. According to dissatisfied consumers, the price of an external battery is seriously overpriced. For comparison, there is an analogue of MagSafe Anker with a capacity of 5000 mAh, which costs only $ 40.

Only a few users noticed that Anker is capable of delivering 5W of power and does not support reverse wireless charging. And Apple MagSafe delivers up to 20W of power, and wireless charging works in two directions.

 

Apple MagSafe for iPhone 12 - Limitations

 

External battery technology has several limitations. First, it requires iOS 14.7 to work. Secondly, the charge from the main battery of the iPhone 12 will only be if the phone itself is charged at 80% or more. Third, for the recursive charging of the Apple MagSafe battery to work, the PSU needs to deliver an honest 20W.

But, even with such a large list of restrictions, the new product looks very interesting. External battery - it's always convenient. After all, it's easier to carry a battery with you than to look for an outlet to charge your smartphone in the most inappropriate places for this.
