Apple launches MagSafe Battery Pack for iPhone 12 models
Apple’s new MagSafe Battery Pack attaches to iPhone 12 models and is now available to order.
You can charge your iPhone and MagSafe Battery pack at the same time, too. Attach the battery pack to your phone and plug either the battery pack or the iPhone into a power source.
Finally, to check the charge of the battery pack, Apple said your iPhone must be running iOS 14.7 or later (which has yet to be officially released). Then, when you attach the battery pack to your phone, it will automatically begin to charge the phone and a charging status will appear on the Lock Screen.
Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack is the first from the brand. Anker already sells a similar third-party battery pack designed for iPhone 12 models that also charges phones with up to 5W of power. Additionally, Mophie’s Snap+ Juice Pack Mini is “compatible with MagSafe for iPhone 12 models and any Qi-enabled smartphone” and can magnetically connect to the back of such phones, according to the brand.
