Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack: Details
Users have been waiting for Apple’s MagSafe Battery pack for a long time. It is a MagSafe battery pack that can be used on any MagSafe compatible phone. In other words, you can charge the entire iPhone 12 lineup with it.
However,
the battery pack can take up the entire back underneath the camera module of
the iPhone 12 Mini. This accessory is only designed for the iPhone 12 series,
and you will also need to be running iOS 14.7 or later.
Design & Build
The
apple logo on the MagSafe battery pack has been slid up a little bit. It has a
hard plastic build body. It is not made up of silicone material. You will get a
lightning port and status light on the bottom.
You
will get a little MagSafe ring with a little magnet bar. As a result, you will
be able to charge your device wirelessly. However, you can not charge the
MagSafe battery wirelessly itself. It is wider than an iPhone Mini but much
thicker. It comes with only a white color option. As a result, you will not get
any other color option to choose from.
It
does not have any physical button, so you can not press it to see the battery
percentage left on it.
Compatibility
The
user will need a newer version of iOS. In other words, you will need iOS 14.7
in your iPhone for this to work. They will update it for iOS 15 beta versions.
As a result, users will have to wait until it works properly with iOS 15 beta
versions. In short, the battery pack does not work properly with iOS 15 beta.
Hopefully, this error will change in the upcoming beta version.
You
can use the widget on your iPhone to keep the tabs on capacity. It will also
show the charge status on your Apple device.
