Makes sense....that explains why apple makes it charge slow at 7.5w to prevent overheating and lose efficiency.

I don’t think this concept makes sense. I had used apple battery pack for about half year. For a normal power bank, you just deplete the battery and then you can use your phone freely the rest of time. For apples battery pack, I will need to attach it to the phone full day because sometimes it will just stopped charging and the rest of time it charges extremely slow. It’s bulky it’s inconvenient it’s just garbage

Most people don’t understand this.

@@Messy_Marvno education from the manufactur product about this.

Why did you buy this new Anker pack after the over heating issues he presented in this review?

Anker and other brands also have ones similar to the apple battery's size physically with more features including stands on some, pucks, double sided magnets and more in the same form factor and wattage charging even further though they are all heavier

@@guyfriends1843 i tried 3 other brands before settling on the Apple MagSafe Charger. They all ran super hot and were inconsistent. But that was my personal experience.

apple powerbank is just old. there's a few even slimmer powerbanks (9mm) with 10,000mha capacity and 15w charging.

@@Yayadays111 Do you have a link to one? I haven't been able to find anything that slim with 15W wireless iPhone charging and 10k mAh.

@@aaronw1375 Amazon has a variety I was checking out; seems like mostly chinese companies I've never heard of, but sometimes made in the same factories as name brands. One that's probably about the size of the Apple one is "LUCKYDUO Ultra Slim 10000mAh for Magsafe Portable Charger." And for cheaper (but thicker) ones, there's a bunch that appear to be basically the same as "AOGUERBE Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger, 10000mAh Wireless Power Bank "

What do you do at work all day lol

What is an extender is it does not chrage the device at least just enough to run? is that not like a Backup Generator does it not power things? APPLES USES MADE UP OR SLIGHTLY INCORRECT TERMS TO AVOID LEGAL RESPONIBILTIES (THink iPhone 4 it's not the phone it's how you use it, iPhone 6 you are not meant to put it in a back pocket (but side pockets are too small, use a bag or just carry it in your hand!) not too mention problems with Screen Power Cables on Macs, Power Circuits on Macs, Mac Butterfly Keyboards etc etc etc etc it's your Fault not Their Bad Designs that they knew about as this goes on for generations of devices not usually a single gen all too push Apple Car on People or Force them Out of Hand to Buy New buy Quoting more to replace a cable or capacitor than the device was worth new

Amen 🙏 so true people do not know hot to use it I love mine. It’s small. I work at eight hour shift and when I leave for work, my phone is still at 91% and the battery pack is dead.

I thought the same thing. The Apple battery pack is wonderful when you slap it on when the iPhone is already near 100% to maintain it in the 90% range for several hours. Every YT channel seems to miss the point. The Apple battery isn’t really intended to charge the iPhone, (although it certainly can in a pinch) it’s intended to maintain the battery without overheating the iPhone. This is especially important for the 12/13 mini which overheats very easily with 3rd party wireless chargers

You guys took the words right from my fingertips. I just hope apple comes out with a replacement - most likely USB-C.

Why would i buy a powerbank so i can slap it for so many hours? Like when battery goes down, charge it until sufficient, remove the powerbank and thats it. So inconvinient for ur phone to be connected to ur powerbank for hours and u call it advantage. U see a very niche feature and u call others inferior? Yikes. Fan boy be fanboys.

Also, no type c so that makes rhe apple one VERY inferior

Anything GaN (Gallium Nitride!) is going to be 30 to 60 percent cooler than a Silicone Equivalent as it is more efficient at energy transfer thus much cooler and as a result less wasted power Big Tech is trying to replace Silicone Chips with Gan as a stop Gap until Photonic Chips are as cheap and reliable at least to what we have now but Gallium is much harder to work with at 4NM and smaller so new techniques and possibly new Fab machines need to be developed! Remember Gallium is more a Liquid at most temps above freezing than a solid even holding it will turn it from solid to liquid almost instantly So in short by Gan Chargers especially Gen II (Better Regulation Chips and heat protections!) also even if charging at 30 to 60 watts use a 100w rated cable at least is not higher (150 or even 200!) as they have better eMarker Chips Basically a Chip that says how much it can handle and how hot it thinks it is, Plus generally more heat dissipation when needed through better materials! Also use a charger that is higher rated than the device for best energy efficiency few devices ever work best at their max speed for very long so if your phone handles 30w buy a 45w or 68w charger. Also if it has multiple ports don't use them or at the very least not on devices that need more than 1w to 5w to charge (Like Kindles and toothbrushes!) Good Cables Brands include FasGear, Beasus, UGreen, Cable Creations Also for Chargers Belkin is not only Reliable and easy to find but have Great Warranties that cover your equipment (Phones/Tablets Laptops etc!) for Damage if they Fail to work Over Voltage, Heat Control, Surge Protection etc etc! Anker I find hit and miss they are not bad but only become so popular as the CCP backs them so they spend on Ads Big Time Also if you can find them Aukey use to be a good brand

👏👏👏

and by tests this product preserves the battery life more vs using a standard powerbank, only use the powerbank when your battery is low if you are out.

NO, Optimized battery was turned off so there were no restrictions on performance just lots of overheating.

you will use it not as a powerbank when your battery is low, you use it while you're using your phone. To dumb down the term 'battery extender' basically it uses the magsafe pack capacity first before using the battery capacity of the phone.

I was thinking of getting it but I've already moved most of my stuff to USB C and the lightning port I'm not a fan of.

wireless charging technology rather new and not solid enough yet, Wired charger is the king at the moment.

Agree still use the anker powercore 10k it’s smaller. The anker 321 is ok to give you that extra charge to get through the 12 hour day of non stop photos, editing, internet Facebook and google maps when traveling. Power core as backup but never need it.

The Apple MagSafe would be optimal for smaller phones and possibly charge it completely from 0%. and it's the same size as the iPhone Mini.

They will too keep the EU Happy as the new law says New Designs must use Type C and/or Wireless Charging older tech that is still made has a few more years to comply but as of now all new tech must use USB C or Wireless to Charge

Not that it's your fault for it heating up, but why would you put your phone in your pocket when it's wireless charging? Am I missing something here?

Lightning to USB C

@@Quan1993 does that mean they’re going to release a battery pack with usbc?

You can plug a short USB C in from most MagSafe battery packs; it just doesn't hang down. For some, the point is that they don't want the hassle of a cord hanging down while they're going about their day (my wife plays music at work and finds it very difficult to have a cord hanging down when she's on her feet).

We have multiple Apple packs and never had an issue with them at all.

@@MichaelGGarry you’re right! I should have bought Apple. I may give that a go. Thanks!

when connected to the wall.. the update was from 5 to 7,5 watts when charging wireless…

@@MotivationalShorts_682 yea you’re right thanks 😅

every charger is a battery extender when your MacBook/iPhone is at 100%, its not specifically to MagSafe or Apple's battery pack.

I used Anker 621 for 3 days straight and it didn't get hot at all.

the limit you're talking about is the iPhone's internal battery charging limit, but this limit is at around 50% at 30 minutes with a 30w usb charger. the Anker Qi2 battery took 1.5 hours to reach 50%.

No the last 10 to 20% of any lithium based battery or cell be it Ion Polymer Sodium etc the charging slows as it get fuller as well as hotter it's essentially a type of Compression Imagine a tank of air the more air it gets filled with the harder it gets too fill and the hotter the gases inside get the reason why the gas fills cold as it is let out is thermodynamics as the molecules get further apart they are less stressed and thus loose heat aka energy! you literally can not beat laws of nature like Thermal Dynamics we can bend them a little or possible in rare cases alot but we cannot break them when we try nothing happens if we are lucky and if we are not bad things very bad things happen@@user-ij2mj8nz9q
