MagSafe Battery Pack review - is it really worth it?

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 🙃

[@MarkyV83]

What do you mean by mobile mode? It runs at lower performance?

[@kushalraj]

@@MarkyV83 not really. Just that it keeps all background tasks to the minimum. Such as sorting and identifying pictures. All the background “AI” processing. Like how you would expect it to if you were out and on the move rather than plugged into power where it can do all the background tasks that are computationally heavy. The CPU could down clock, but I have not heard of it before. So basically it doesn’t do any unnecessary compute intensive tasks.

[@iKayorei]

Good point. This is the one of the main reasons why I chose the Apple battery pack, just better integration with ios

[@AndrewC89]

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.

I can average 8.5-9 hours of screen on time and that’s mostly video, instant messaging and web browsing. My Mini lasts me the entire day now which is amazing!

[@elchamber]

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.

I chose the Magsafe pack and happy with it!

[@andyH_England]

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).

[@fredro833]

That’s the main point to me, for what it does….it’s not worth $100.

I was puzzled why the YT community did not understand how it works when magazine reviewers were giving it four out of five because they know how it is meant to work? Using it as a smart pack, that is attached to a full iPhone it gets me through the whole day using it my normal way. So I rarely use my iPhone battery, unless it is a busy day! It is a great device if you use it like that and ha no heat with very good efficiency. Of course, if you bought it to recharge your iPhone 2-3 times or want fast wireless charging then this is not for you, but Apple never claimed it does either of those, so people complaining about that just did not read the details! It does not make it bad because it does not do what it never promised to do! It is like buying a battery pack with just a USB port and complaining that it does not wirelessly charge!

@@FreshVibez77 I will tell you how I use it. I normally use my phone as normal and once I hit 30-40% charge I will attach the MagSafe charger. I will then keep the charger on until it is fully depleted and no longer charging the phone. Once it is depleted, I will remove the charger from the phone and put it in my pocket. To answer your question - the charger does charge when you are using your phone to stream music or videos. Sometimes the 5w charge will fail to charge the phone as quickly as the battery is being used but so it may sit at a specific % as the battery usage is breaking even. This normally happens when you are steaming a video using your cellular network. If you are just browsing and listening to music, it should continue to charge. All in all, I think this is a very good charger and it has totally changed the way I use my Mini on a day to day basis.

What people fail to realize is how often will your phone be at zero? Also, the MagSafe pack is perfect when you are down to 10~15%. What also isn’t discussed is how these third party batteries do damage to your phone battery over time. Staying within the ecosystem is a smart choice and helps your battery health. I don’t like the word “significantly cost more”. Significant is a strong world. Does it cost more? Yes. But it’s not significant.

Giving those who want to move up to USBC only cords an option for the iPhone . And Apple should have pushed the technology by using a solid state battery to give it much greater charge.

Wait for V2. People should always do this with anything imo

[@Guillaumebernier82]

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

[@jenniferstewart1330]

As long as it’s a MagSafe case yes. I own a MagSafe case that isn’t made by apple and it works great!

[@spaghetti9067]

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

[@MiWolverine96]

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

[@martinlutherkingjr.5582]

A big part of why the apple magsafe battery stays on is the they used a rubbery material which doesn’t slip as much.

[@zPrideful]

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

[@arvin8840]

this is also like a normal mag safe i think

[@jorizkevinabel24]

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

[@vinnyll]

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.

[@littlecatjam8332]

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

[@sathyapoomari9504]

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

[@ppriyesh30]

Does this works with iphone xs max as well?

[@kola2018]

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

[@elchamber]

I use it on my XR with a MagSafe case. The feels good on a bigger iPhone. I also have a 13 mini. The only downside when using an iPhone that's older than a 12 is that the features for the battery doesn't work. I can't keep the battery pack from charging only to 90% or pass it. Also, there's not battery indicator nor power meter on the iPhone when attached.

[@irfanarachman91]

@@elchamber im using iphone 11. so it still charge phone past 90? in older than iphone 12, does the low power mode option doesn't show any other mode?

[@alamandatad201]

hi can be use for iPhone 11?

[@sara.cbc92]

The thumbnail where can I get that blue cover?

[@jean-pierrecallut]

Want to secure a long life to your iPhone battery? Never overheat it, never charge it to its max capacity. The MagSafe Battery Packndoes just that.

[@irfanarachman91]

does it still cool when plugged in like in minutes 11:17 ?

[@moelester3062]

If I get a 12 mini when it’s low battery I just slap on that battery pack

[@MarkyV83]

I’ll wait, Apple will no doubt make a newer and better MagSafe by the time my iPhone 13 Mini needs to be on life support. Thanks! 🙂

[@nylotical]

Heh… At the time of me replying, it has been 2yrs and Apple hasn’t made one yet, and the mini is most likely on life support. Well… mine is.

[@YuNggUZii23]

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

[@drewa7606]

It may not be the best. but it’s better than seeing “this device is not supported”
