Adam Kos Last July, Apple launched its Magsafe Battery, or MagSafe Battery Pack. He didn't release it together with the iPhone 12, he didn't even wait for the iPhone 13, and in the current summer he probably wanted to please more than one tourist who could now wirelessly charge a supported iPhone on his outdoor hikes. If he didn't feel sorry for the money he spent.
Of course, no one expects anything from Apple to be cheap. But for the money spent, a certain quality is also expected, and even if this white brick can have it in a certain respect, as far as its charging performance is concerned, it was rather laughable. So the current update improves it at least a little, but it's still very much on the edge.

Don't expect performance
The original power that the MagSafe Battery used to charge iPhones was only 5 W.S updates firmware to version 2.7, it jumped to at least 7,5 W (the update starts automatically after connecting the battery to your iPhone). After all, this is the value that Apple allows you to charge your iPhones with regular Qi wireless chargers, regardless of what generation of phone you own.

However, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 have MagSafe technology, with which Apple already declares 15W charging. What about the fact that the competition is completely different, better 15 W than 7,5 W when you already have MagSafe. But not so with the MagSafe Battery, because Apple is afraid of the accumulation of heat, which of course increases with higher performance, and therefore limits its power bank in this way, MagSafe not magsafe.

Oh the price
CZK 2 is not enough. This is not a small amount, mainly because there are quite a few alternatives on the market that cost up to a thousand crowns and offer either at least the same or even more. Sure, maybe they're not certified and you don't see those fancy charging animations on the iPhone display, but you'll save more than half the price.

Flying around the world with Apple Such power banks are also more powerful. Not with iPhones, of course, because their speeds are limited. With a wireless power bank, whether it is MagSafe or not, you can of course also charge other devices, other phones, headphones, etc. The capacities at which the MagSafe battery can charge devices are also quite sad. Apple declares the following in the product description:
- iPhone 12 mini charges MagSafe battery up to 70%
- iPhone 12 charges MagSafe battery up to 60%
- iPhone 12 Pro charges MagSafe battery up to 60%
- iPhone 12 Pro Max Charges MagSafe Battery Up to 40%
This is of course due to its dimensions, but the question simply comes to mind here, why really invest in such a solution, and not just buy a better quality external battery of at least 20000mAh, even if you have to use it with the help of a cable (the MagSafe battery should have 2900mAh ).
