Apple MagSafe Battery Pack - Watch THIS Before You BUY!

Apple just released a brand new MagSafe battery pack that will work on all iPhone 12 models, however, because it works on all iPhone 12 models, it means that this is a one size fits all solution and the MagSafe battery pack looks quite different depending on which iPhone you use. In this video, I show you how the MagSafe battery pack looks on all the iPhone models including the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, as well as talk about what I like and don't like about this product.

As long as you use the apple battery with a fully charged phone you will love it 💯The software integration and safety make it far superior to the competition.

The charge to 90% is to protect the internal battery. It will then use the remaining battery in the pack to run the iPhone and revert to the iPhone battery once the pack is empty.

I’d rather have a battery pack that can at least charge my iPhone to 100% AT LEAST once than being able to see the battery indicator widget, a MagSafe animation, and not needing to press an on/off button. This doesn’t even give you MagSafe speed unless it’s plugged in. These extra integrations are nice to have but only if the core functionality is good which it’s not, it’s lacking in the main purpose of why it exists.. charging your phone! And yet it’s $100, cmon people vote with your wallets, stop gettin ripped off.

Just want to know one thing. Apple has discontinued production of 12 Mini. So, if I get an iPhone 12 Mini and say within 1 year or so my screen stops responding for some reason (even though the screen is not damaged at all), will I get my screen replaced, provided my iPhone 12 Mini is under warranty. This is why I am procrastinating buying the 12 Mini.

When iPhones battery is less than 80% and if you use Apple MagSafe Battery Pack do you feel it gets warm or produces any heat at the back of iPhone? My iPhone 14 Pro Max is getting little bit warm and I think may reduce the better health of my iPhone.

You should test the battery pack with an iPhone 11 or 10r. Supposedly there are MagSafe cases that claim to make older iPhones battery pack compatible.

There are probably many more hidden functions available in the iPhone 12 that are locked with software such as reverse wireless charging. Hopefully after this we can unlock using on-screen touch ID after some future software updates.

Just a couple of thoughts, I’m wondering if you had two of these battery packs what would happen if you piggy backed them , yeah it’s a dumb question and probably nothing would come of it , but wait I have another dumb question . Could you use the battery lightning port and a cable to charge another device ? One more question , if I had a magnetic/MagSafe vent mount in my car but a non charging type , will the magsafe battery and my 12 pro max for example stick/mount to the MagSafe car mount ?

@deavo74 3 жыл бұрын

Can’t piggy back. It can charge any wireless charging device. Won’t work in a magnetic mount.

I love the battery pack.. of course all depends on battery usage. I only use Pro Max models.. i have the 14PM... . 2 scenarios: one heavy usage: 9am 100% iphone 100% battery pack: doing alot of phone calls, screen recordings, sending text messages, work, email, responding to social media messages, then gym listening to music etc... by 2pm battery pack died and phone was 90% so a good 5hrs extra of battery life: by end of day 11pm or so was around 15% battery and then charged my phone that day like around 12hrs of active screen time somewhat light usage disconnected my phone at 3:30am 100% battery and slapped on the apple battery pack aslo at 100% for this one the battery pack died until 5:30pm (NOT EXAGGERATING) so it was around 14hrs but this time i only had like 5hrs 40min of active screen time; so a lighter use. but still was using my phone a bit for phone calls, messages, screen recordings etc. and same thing phone was at 90% after it died. so again, all depends on use case scenarios, but I feel if you use it with iphone at 100% it comes in super clutch . and it's worth it if you use it correctly

I think one point you didn’t really cover is this pack can be shared with a family of iPhones easily. So say I bought this for my Max because I always want to have it in case I need more battery life. My wife has a Pro so she uses her phone to a point she needs more I could easily give it her. Unlike past battery products it would be impossible to do because case size differences.

OK, The reviews are good to see. It is really a personal use and time management thing though. If your phone is one hour short of battery life on a general day, find the right time to connect the pack. You don't need to keep it on, you just need to put it on long enough to give you an hour. If you mess up time management and you need to keep it attached, well that is not really Apple, that is you, and Apple gave you the option of getting through the day with a little inconvenience. If I were working at a desk for the first three hours of my day I would just leave it out and put my phone on it every time I ended a call. First world problems.

You aren’t supposed to use the MagSafe charger to get from 0 to 100. You make sure both are charged up and keep the MagSafe battery on ur phone so it uses the MagSafes energy and by the end of the day you just used your MagSafe battery and not your phones.
