Incredibly comprehensive analysis, answered every one of my questions. Just ordered mine!

[@MATechYoutube]

👍🏽

[@artem3270]

5:35 I have an original battery pack and it can also sometimes show the bottom icon as green. I’ve found that only happens when you disconnect the battery and then almost immediately reconnect it (you have to be on the Lock Screen). Pretty sure this is some kind of software glitch. Does your original do the same when reconnected?

[@raynemacer]

That was super smart doing the screen record feature to show the battery is being used!!! Nice work sir!!!

[@MATechYoutube]

Thank you 👍🏽

[@levifreeman]

I stand corrected from my comment on your 1st vid. I must have the replica you had. I need this one, I need that widget!! Awesome!

[@MATechYoutube]

It’s the same item, just one worked as it was supposed to where as original one was maybe damaged in transit

[@jbear1490]

Have you tried them both on a case that doesn’t have the magnet built into the case? I just have a standard silicone case on my phone

[@MATechYoutube]

I only use Magsafe cases as I use it that much, it would probably still connect but the connection could probably be shaken off quite easily whereas with a Magsafe case you have to want to remove these in order for them to come off, they don't just fall off. Hope that helps 👍🏽

[@mrrobvs]

How do we know if we have the newest generation of the replica? Can you provide a link?

[@MATechYoutube]

No, links get removed as soon as the seller is out of stock

[@JamWalker]

I’m looking for a replica wallet with the find my built in, do you think that’s possible?

[@MATechYoutube]

Not seen any

[@Sam-xg2jn]

Not even original has that, just notification when you plug it off and location but it doesn't get constantly tracked

[@halami2149]

I wish you showed the battery widget in control center for the fake, to see if it would show up

[@MATechYoutube]

I do, it’s in the video.

[@halami2149]

@@MATechKZbin Oh my bad, I must’ve missed it. It’s at 3:41 for anyone else reading this. Sorry

[@MATechYoutube]

👍🏽

[@marymadigan9707]

Nice review as always 💯🇮🇪

[@MATechYoutube]

Thanks 👍🏽

[@L3m0nP4rty]

I was wondering if reverse wireless charging works with the fake one? So will the battery pack be charged by the phone when the phone is plugged in? Thanks!

[@MATechYoutube]

No it won’t as it’s not integrated like that, just simply a battery pack.

[@MariusRazor]

For this price you should rather get an anker 321,you never know how the fakes are built and they can go up in flames in the worst case scenario or they can just die out of nowhere

[@MATechYoutube]

Exactly 👍🏽

[@thaveeshawanniarachchi6559]

hai brother I have question can you tell me aliexpress MagSafe good or bad?

[@MATechYoutube]

Watch the videos and decide for yourself, it’s your money so you need to decide if you simply want a cheap replica or the actual benefits of the genuine thing.

[@rentorange9450]

his video is crap but the replica works just as good, just stop use if it overheats

[@BobThebuilder-my9zh]

Is it dangerous to use for your phone, will it degrade the battery faster?

[@MATechYoutube]

Is it dangerous probably not but it will no doubt degrade the battery faster as it doesn’t manage the heat like genuine ones.

[@shatoxbmsboys7859]

Can you show me the link on that aliexpress

[@MATechYoutube]

Do a search, links are always changing as sellers remove them when stock is finished

[@me3alam]

does the ali express battery pack still work?

[@MATechYoutube]

Nope, stopped working within a month or 2 so I got rid of it.

[@amaanshaikh3637]

How much will it charge. Btw i loved ur review

[@MATechYoutube]

Not sure on the exact percentage as that’ll vary but it’s definitely just a top up as opposed to being a complete charge.

[@crexxd]

The fake one has a 5000 mah battery and the original one has 1460 mah that only charges my iphone 13 pro to 80%

[@MatkoMance]

fake 5000mAh? 30.000-50.000mAh, the chineese write what they want. Unitll someone test is for real we do not know @@crexxd

[@oceonviews5647]

Does the widget stay on all the time or does it go away???

[@MATechYoutube]

When working it stays on.

[@biellemos6048]

Teria como mandar o link?

[@MATechYoutube]

Do a search, links never stay live for any length of time so always search at the time you’re buying.

[@rafaelmmartinez9170]

The new one has the battery in display when is connected.

[@MATechYoutube]

Does it actually work accurately? I’ve seen quite a few that faked the percentage or would jump massively from full battery straight into the red.

[@rafaelmmartinez9170]

@@MATechKZbin they have in Ali a new one and until now is accurate and shows the widget. Of course because is a repo probably will not be accurate , but for the price is an excellent option

[@MATechYoutube]

But the benefit of the real one is battery heat management, if you just want cheaper then just buy a 3rd party MagSafe one imo

[@CaioMachadoPrescritorCanMed]

Could u please tell me the “brand” or store u bought yours? Thanks🙏

[@harshverma3656]

How much time does the replica take to charge the phone

[@MATechYoutube]

5W slow charging depending on heat as well, so not fast.

[@sorsor7978]

When changing the battery led it's flashing or not. I don't understand . thanks

[@albertjostein812]

How about you drop the seller's details?

[@MATechYoutube]

Sellers constantly disappear, better to search for current listings yourself, all the sellers suppliers tend to be the same anyway.

[@albertjostein812]

Has the one that sent you this disappeared? How about you drop the link let's try.

[@MATechYoutube]

Do a search, the link/seller I used most likely won’t be listed anymore

[@HL-OOI]

What’s the battery health now by using the fake one? 😂

[@MATechYoutube]

I’ve not used it since. Gave it to my daughter to use for a while but I also had bigger capacity MagSafe battery packs so she uses them instead.

[@HL-OOI]

I just tested it at the mobile phone shop..quite impress with the slimness and the animation but not sure how it charge though and doesn’t do pass thru..😂

[@jackcrown4379]

Where the link to the fake😅?

[@MATechYoutube]

Links always get removed, do a search for the current links/sellers

[@alexteixeira27]

Make sure you actually test it next time before you start doing a review or a comparison, specially make sure both have equal charge, any person that has used both fake and real one can obviously tell you have no idea what your talking about.

[@MATechYoutube]

Try watching my other videos then maybe you’ll know what you’re talking about.

[@zacforrest]

viewers should have to watch your channel for homework to get the answers. seeing you not treat them equal made me leave.

[@MATechYoutube]

If you’d watched the first video it would make sense 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@gambitgambitgambit]

All you got from this vid Alex was crying ‘make sure both have equal charge’ and nothing else. What a clown 🤡

[@deltarayz5045]

damn i've get a Replica!!! 😣😣😣

[@MATechYoutube]

Try to return it because in my opinion unless you’re only looking for a MagSafe power bank (in which case there’s better options like zeerawireless.com/products/zeera-magvolt-gen3-magsafe-battery-pack?sca_ref=1663349.aYXMpk1PfN) then you’re paying for how it looks and not the apple integration and battery management like the genuine one

[@bigmaxcc]

Cheaper than apple I take it lol anything cheaper than apple good in my books 👍

[@MATechYoutube]

Without the main advantage the genuine has over any third party battery?

[@alexm8260]

You bought a fake thinking it was real? This is why you should be subscribed to my channel so you don’t get scammed on fakes.

[@OTDECK]

I think I’d buy any replica accessory of apples, they over price everything

[@MATechYoutube]

In this instance you get what you pay for.

[@OTDECK]

@@MATechKZbin which is…. A charger 🤣 sounds like a good payoff tbh considering what they are actually designed for

[@MATechYoutube]

Wrong, you’re paying for software integration that protects your battery for long term life, so to save £70-80 you’d rather risk long term damage to your battery and potentially the £1K+ phone if used incorrectly. But it’s your money so you do you.

[@OTDECK]

@@MATechKZbin well iPhone battery’s have always been bad you don’t need to be a tech wizard to know that. Secondly any type of charging whether it be ‘smart’ will still deplete cells over time and reduce battery. I am not concerned with my iPhone 13 Pro Max because I have apple care and apple replace battery’s for free. I did abit of research on the MagSafe and worked out I would get 40 percent extra battery so I went and bought the momax 5000 battery. With low power mode charging. Prob the best MagSafe for iPhone 12/13 and it’s 45.99

[@MATechYoutube]

I have a video on the momax battery pack on my channel as well. Rather than “replica” accessories you are much better off buying a third party version that isn’t necessarily a replica/fake just made to look the same as apples. As for the replacement battery via apple care, I think you’ll find any depleting part such as batteries or parts subject to wear and tear aren’t covered by apple care: support.apple.com/en-gb/iphone/repair/battery-replacement It estimates you’ll pay £69 to replace your battery via apple.
