Now if Apple sold this at 49,99 it would be an instant all time classic hit. I still don’t understand wtf are the execs at Apple thinking.

I had both the Anker and Mophie and returned them both. My reasoning was that they both got very hot in my pocket which was a big downside. Although they work well for charging I just couldn’t get over the heat against my leg or butt. I am now using the Apple version and it is growing on me with how easy it is to use.

It is surprisingly good on the mini. It doesn’t feel awkward to hold it together with the mini. And it extends the battery life of the mini to more than a pro-max battery life seamlessly.

iPhone 12 Pro Max already has amazing battery life, this just gives you that extra few hours, I like it because I care about my devices battery health, and this seems to keep your battery healthy

For a person that works daily on their iPhone and Mac, I enjoy all the battery packs you mentioned. I used the Mophie a lot more but I am an Apple fan boy, so anything Apple, I support and constantly use the product. Great review!

Great demos of how well they all stay attached! 👏

Love the video! The only thing I think you missed was the fact that the MagSafe battery pack keeps the phone in mobile mode and won’t start doing power hungry processes that normally happen when plugged in at home. One of the most fair and honest videos out there that leave it to the viewer whether it’s a good product for them. Not assuming you know everyone’s use cases 🙃

Without a power button does the Apple magsafe battery lose charge faster in standby?

What’s the deal with the 8 inches from the body RF warning? I’m not sure how to interpret.

So does the apple on work with a random cases or does it have to be an apple case

Will this work with the apple leather and silicone cases?

Does the MagSafe battery Pack stick better on the iPhone using clear case or learn case?

Is it safe to use MagSafe port with other non apple qi devices?

None of the other reviews I’ve found mention the iOS integration with the Apple MagSafe pack. That alone is enough for me, tbh.

Excellent video! I just ordered my Apple Battery Pack from Amazon for just $70 and I can’t wait to use it on my iPhone 14 Pro Max!

i wonder if they will come out with a 13 pro version of the anker

I chose the Magsafe pack and happy with it!

I am sorry this might sound like a dumb question. I just placed an order for the new iPhone, and I am looking for a case for it. I wonder if I should get a case with magsafe or just a normal case without it? How necessary is the magsafe function? Do you recommend that I buy it? Thank you!

Thank you, now i know what to buy

can u link the site to buy the blu cover ?

I may wait until the next model before I get a MagSafe battery pack. I also hope they release a new model AirTag that’ll support bitter coating batteries!

How long does the Megsafe battery pack take to charge your iPhone??

This was the most useful video for info about the MagSafe battery pack all over the interweb

Does airbuddy 2 works on ios/macos beta 15? Just purchased it and it cant detect my airpods

Does this works with iphone xs max as well?

Thinking about getting the Apple one for sure

I think I’d rather pay the $100 for the MagSafe battery pack for the integration, the smartness it has when reverse charging, & for the nice shiny smooth look & design it has.Thanks for the awesome detailed reviews of each battery pack!

Damn good analysis ‼️ as always I appreciate what you do👍🏾

Great video comparing products. Helped me make a decision.

I got to test mine out quite thoroughly for a week while on vacation, and I think it's a must-have for the 12 Mini. Really handy while out and about without a phone charger. Yes, the charge is slow when compared to something like a power bank, but it's much smaller and lighter and you can use your phone very easily while it's charging since there's no cord. I've personally found that the best way to use it is to slap it on your phone when you're at a full charge, not when your battery is low. This way you're using the brick's power first, instead of slowly charging a dead phone. While I don't see the practicality of a QI battery brick for regular day-to-day use (I have chargers at my desk and in my car), I do think it's great for situations where you may not have access to an outlet (hiking, beach, airport, etc). The reverse charging feature is nice since you can charge your phone and the brick at the same time with one lightning cable. I think that feature alone makes it easy to justify the apple version over a 3rd party. Overall I'm happy with it and I recommend it.

When the MagSafe Battery Pack is plugged in to a wired charger, can I functionally use it just like the MagSafe wireless charger for my phone overnight?

Jeff always so thorough. Getting the Magasafe. Thanks

What color silicon case is on the iPhone 12 Pro? Capri blue?

The thumbnail where can I get that blue cover?

How many times is MagSafe battery pack said? BTW if you use the MagSafe battery pack and mini like I do this allows you to have the same amount of battery usage as the 12 pro max. 100 bucks well worth it for the magsafe battery pack.

bro if i factory reset my iphone will my esim will erase?

Hi Jeff thanks a bunch for this very interesting and informative video. What I‘ve missed are the performance numbers for the 12 Pro Max, since You‘ve only shown them for the iPhone 12. And because I‘ve got a 12 Max and therefore interested in the numbers. Greetings from Helvetia 🇨🇭

I just bought two for a business trip next week ☺️

I drop mine in the parking lot of where I live it has two mini scratches now, but I wondered if anyhting on the inside could have been damaged but I will never know cause not a lot of reviews touch in the what not to do or prevent when using the battery pack

I just realized if someone bought iPhone 13 mini and the MagSafe battery pack it would be the same price as iPhone 13.

hi can be use for iPhone 11?

Thank you for this video! I thought my new MagSafe battery pack was defective because a few seconds after plugging it in the amber light turned off and it never turned to green once it reached 100%. I figured it would stay lit up while plugged in like the MagSafe charger for MacBooks.

If you're using this with a mini, beware that the white color of the battery will cause white flares when using the flash. I had to put a black tape on the battery where it's closest to the flash. This battery with features only works on the 12 and newer. The XR doesn't get the features.

Does it work for iphone X?

Will the battery pack work with a non oem Apple case?

Just got mine in the mail fits so nice and slim I love it 📱🔋❤️ the Apple MagSafe is much safer then the other battery packs that get to hot 🤷🏻‍♂️

i love that this video is in hdr

Can you charge the magsafe battery pack on a wireless charger?

Is there some reason they can’t just build a wireless charger into a case instead of this over the top ubertech solution of building a magnet into the phone and the charger, which is likely to fall off and get lost eventually anyway? I have a great case which never falls off. No magnets necessary.

I think apple gave it biggest accessories partners a instructions set for how to make a MagSafe connecter and a plethora of premade MagSafe stickers and belkin decided just to slap the sticker on a piece of metal

Can you charge the magsafe battery pack wirelessly on magsafe duo charger or does it only charge connected with lightning cable?

Am I the only one who finds it entertaining the way the reviewer pronounces the word "on"?

Are they not making the smart cases anymore for newer models? I’m assuming this is the replacement.

I have a 12 mini and omg I love that the wallet is perfect with the mini😭❤️

Isn’t the MagSafe battery supposed to be left on the phone from the beginning of the day? That’s how the instructions explain it. It’s a battery extender, not charger.

Lol. Turn the power button “own”! 😂

A friend is giving me one of these for free. Should arrive on Wednesday. Can’t wait to play around with it. Curious if it can make my 13 Pro Max a 2 day phone if I travel or do some weekend camping.

Why can’t you use this with other qi wireless charging phones

I bought it for how well it works with iPhone and I have the pro max so I just want a bit more time when I run low

That hdr kicked in at midnight ☄️😎

How long has it been out? This is really a long-term review?

Should have never gotten rid of the smart battery case. Have one for my Xs and it worked really good at not only charging but also protecting. I just upgraded to the 13 pro and I miss it

I love my Apple Magsafe Battery Pack.

I bought 3 MagSafe Battery Packs to rotate between home and work to always have a fully charged one available.

Just got mine after getting a 30000mah ravpower bank. Sometimes you just need something that is more compact!

Has anyone tried one on an iPhone 11? Would it stick or magnets not strong enough?

When you use normal wireless charging you do not use the phone whilst doing it. This is the presumption if you use the MagSafe battery pack and is clearly sensible. If you are using to recharge I would just slap it on in quiet times and let it charge 20% or so, and do that 2-3 times a day to get through long days, that is, how you normally use wireless charging pads at home or in the office? I think people have misunderstood what this is, it is not to compete with a normal USB battery pack. I think that those that realise what the pack is about, it was never meant to compete with 20,000 mAh packs, it is there to give you that extra 4h SoT a day if you are a heavy user, so around 10h for all iPhones. This should cover 99% of users as not many people will be using their phone more than 10h a day? So the extra 50% charge the other ones provide really are not that relevant apart from very heavy users. The main issue is whether it is worth $100 and that is subjective as to whether having a certified MagSafe product is worthy of the extra cost. I think many will see it as a solid investment especially as it is likely to be interchangeable for many generations. None of these are perfect as this is a relatively new product line. Glad that Apple is offering us the choice even though it is niche. I am sure Android OEMs will be coming out with magnetic connectors (OPPO launching one soon).

I wish Anker would put its power button on the top or the side. It just felt so awkward trying to press that button at the bottom with one hand.

Does this actually work on iPhone X? I know it s old. I only use at my shop so I can move around without the cable

A lot of people ignore how the MagSafe battery pack looks after the battery health and tries to preserve it by not overheating the phone or charging to 100% which reduces the lifespan of the battery

Does it work on cases?

Why is mine charging so slow? Esp since I am using it….

Ima get if I get the 12 mini

If you have an IPhone 12 or 12pro. It sounds like you would be better off just using a Standard Wired Battery Bank if you want a full charge. The MagSafe battery Bank would be good if you just needed the extra battery capacity during the day that it would bring. In the end I think the MagSafe would be the one that I would go for. Especially, when you are on Vacation and don’t have access or time to recharge the Iphone. On a day to day basis use I usually have a charging source available. Either at my desk, car, or home.

Belkin now has one too

I prefer the Apple one and with the Apple silicone case or Apple leather case , magnet is strong. Also I have a cheaper and double sized aftermarket MagSafe battery but it makes the iPhone hot and overheats it.

Yes it’s worth it 😎

Thank you

I went with the apple one because I would rather have one specifically designed for my phone on a hardware and software perspective rather then the other 2 options

Do they work on iPhone 11?

idk if mine is faulty but definitely wasn’t worth it. charges extremely slow, don’t even know if it is charging, battery drains more than actually charging while it’s attached.

Great review. Thanks. For me... the LQQK of the MagSafe wins!

I got my M1 MacBook Air and just bought AirBuddy 2

I have one, it doesn’t charge my pro max like it should. I think that’s because the pro max is already so good. I wish I could return it. Missed the window.

We bought the Anker and it’s already boxed up for a refund, ours was junk & it didn’t give much charge to the phone at all.

Really you're pulling a 'Just works' in this review. Well played.

Everyone seems to misunderstand this product. This product ensures that your iPhone doesn’t get overcharged in order to protect the internal battery. That’s huge. It’s also a MagSafe charger plugged in that does the full 15 watts of charging - something other brands don’t do. That’s $40 for a standalone puck usually.

After I got back my iPhone x account it started to get really messed up as I tried myself to fix it but am not so good at the who's a pro here?

There is another Anker battery pack which is a bit nicer than the one that you showed on here and it has a stand it’s called to go Anker battery pack or something like that

They talk about the performance but fail to mention the downside of your iPhone battery using a third party charger..I will always use Apple branded products because of the integration.

i'm hoping apple switches everything to USB-C soon. i would really dive into the apple ecosystem then. i am okay with the higher price of apple products because i am a slow consumer. i just upgraded from the 2016 SE to the 13 mini and am wanting to start using the ecosystem and stick with some solid products for a long time. 5+ years hopefully. i'm hoping the new macbook air has USB-C, but ive been hearing theyre going back to magsafe.... i would love just a couple of USB-C cables and a couple of USB-C blocks that are all interchangeable. i have a 2015 macbook and really need to upgrade soon. i held back on getting the 2020 macbook air because i am wanting to see how the next one compares and if it is more futureproof. i will be sad if they decide to use magsafe. this feels out of step with integration and futureproofing. not sure what i would do because the features might be enough for me to still switch.. hoping at least the magsafe charger can go into a USB-C block. and i would get this apple battery pack if it wasn't for the lightning port and the price. otherwise i like its integration.

I’ve been using my iPhone 12 Mini for a year and a half and the battery is starting to let me down as it’s at 85% the original capacity. Tempted to upgrade to a 13 Mini however I might just get the MagSafe battery pack to solve the issue and save £300 cash. I love the 12 Mini but that battery is pretty bad.

The MagSafe battery is as unique as the way you say “turn own”. 😀

Mine removes charge from my phone. It’s awful

I got mine from eBay for $49. I love it.

this charger isn't about the speds or the capacity it gives, simply, imagine it being like an iPhone battery case like back in the day. It acts as an extender to supplement the normal iPhone battery

I watched 3 Videos and got 3 different infos for the situation when the Battery Pack is Pluged in and connected to the iPhone. 1. Charges phone first to 100%, then the battery pack, no matter the charge on either. 2. Charges battery pack first. When you plug in the phone, it charges the phone first and the battery pack afterwards through reverse wireless. 3. Charges simultaneously and when the battery pack is at 80%, it prioritizes the phone. Can anybody help who tried it out?

Clicked on this video and there trying to sell us a earphone 😂 nothing to do with the power bank

But how well does it work if you have a thin protective case around your phone?

But Why the Made only White
