Apple MagSafe Battery Pack - Portable Charger with Fast Charging Capability, Power Bank Compatible with iPhone

For a few weeks now I have been trying several battery packs with no luck on finding the perfect one- they have all been pretty disappointing- don't charge enough, take soooooo long to charge just a little, and they get soooooo hot.I bought the apple one because I've heard great things about it but I've also heard that they don't charge your phone from 0-100 not even once.Well, I have to say I'm very pleased with the results, of course what I get out of this battery pack might not be what you get out of it but figured I'd share my experience using this in case others are curious.*Charging wise: I just tested it out today, I attached it to the back of my phone today at 8am, my phone was on 90%.I know, you're probably thinking that I don't need to charge my phone if it's at 90%. I saw a YouTube video about the apple battery pack and how ppl think this is suppose to charge your phone from 0-100 and ppl are getting upset cause it's not doing that, when in reality this battery pack is meant to keep your phone charged, it's not meant to charge your phone from 0-100 (it won't do that).So like I said, I attached the battery pack to the back of my phone at 8am my phone was at 90% and I put the battery pack setting on low power mode and to keep my phone at 90% (to not charge more than that).I took it off at 2:30pm (that's when the battery pack ran out of charge) but my phone is still on 90% and the battery pack/my phone is not hot! I mean from like 1-10, lowest level of heat being 1 and the most being a 10, maybe it go to like a 2, honestly it didn't even get warm. There was a very very very slight change in temperature but not even close to enough for me to notice.From 8am-2:30pm the battery pack helped my phone remain at 90% and that is with me activity using my phone during that 6.5 hr time frame. I was on my phone- on my socials, watching videos on youtube and tik tok the whole time (with some small 5 mins breaks in between when I got busy doing other stuff)*Price wise: I do think it should be less, but it's apple and I wanted apple, I think we all can somewhat agree this is overpriced.*Asthetic/looks wise: love it. It's very thin and pleasing to the eye. It's not bulky or ugly looking.Overall happy with this battery pack and I recommend it for those looking for something to keep their phone charged for a certain time frame.However, if you are looking for something to charge your phone from 0-100 this battery pack will disappoint you because from what I've noticed, this battery pack is not meant to charge your phone from 0-100 or maybe not even from 30-100. Just my opinion :)

Second Purchase 2025 June:Another came into stock on Amazon Resale in June. Since I had a good experience with the first purchase, I immediately purchased it again.Unfortunately, this 2nd purchase was clearly a fake.The size was different, lightning port was loose, and when connected, it would not be able to show any serial numbers in the settings.It was surprisingly a well made fake.It's able display a battery percentage in the iOS battery widget, however it's incredibly inaccurate, tends to just be random 96%, ~30%, etc. It was unable to produce the white MagSafe connection ring icon when initially connected, only the green ring which is more similar to normal wireless battery banks.Thankfully, Amazon was able to process my return without issues.Fingers crossed if another comes into stock, it'll be genuine next time.Overall, I'm glad I purchased through Amazon with it's good return policy, since so many fakes are circulating out there and you can't really know until you physically receive the product.Original Purchase in 2025 May:Sometimes you get really lucky, this purchase was one of them.Anybody that's actually trying to purchase a genuine one knows how hard it is to find a real one in the sea of fake ones out there.When I got the CamelCamelCamel notification that it was in stock, within an hour I bought it, knowing that at least if it turned out to be fake, Amazon's return service was there.The battery came and to my surprise, not only was it genuine, but it was also new in the box, unopened. I'll consider this a lucky instance since this "should" have been a "3rd party used" condition sale. I paid $200 (about $100 over the old normal price) just to make sure it was not a fake, no complaints from me here.For me, the main reason I wanted the Apple Magsafe battery instead of being able to just use any other Qi / Magsafe battery out there was because of:Charge limitMaintain / auto resumeBi-directional chargingMagsafe temperature monitorQi / can charge Airpod Pros.The Apple Magsafe battery is the only external battery out there that actively communicates with the iPhone and will automatically stop charging at around 90% (can manually override if necessary). This is crucial for battery longevity, since charging up to 100% and letting battery drain (below 10%) will put more strain on the battery and degrade it quicker (battery cycles).However, even though newer iPhones now also have a "charge limit" feature that stops charging when it hits +80%, the Magsafe battery has another trick up it's sleeve. Since it's constantly communicating with the iPhone, when the iPhone's battery starts dropping below 90%, it'll "top it off" back to 90% again, automatically. Other batteries would require manual control of turning it on again. Because of this, it acts similarly to a "battery maintainer".The battery is also the only Magsafe device that is able to bi-directionally charge wireless, from the iPhone. That means if it's connected to an iPhone, if you are wired charging the iPhone, it is also able to wirelessly charge the Magsafe battery also. No other device currently is able to "charge wirelessly from an iPhone".Because it's Magsafe, not just Qi / Qi2, it also maintains good communication with the iPhone's temperature and will slow/stop it's charging if it detects the iPhone is getting too hot.It's also compatible with older Qi charging devices. I have a 1st generation Airpods Pro (Qi 1 charging, not Magsafe) and it's able to auto detect and start charging it. Not even the Anker MagGo products will detect my Airpod Pros and other Qi devices (iPhone SE 2020).Overall, the Apple Magsafe Battery is a completely unique product that has no equivalent. If you are just looking for a external wireless "power bank" to manually charge up your phone, there are tons of cheaper options out there.But if you are hunting for those features I listed, there is no alternative.
