    Quick Note: One thing I didn't realize is the voltage of the battery pack is higher than I realized. This means despite the smaller mAh, the voltage difference makes this able charge an iPhone 12 or 12 Pro, but not 100% due to inefficiencies of wireless charging.

Not a big deal if you upgrade phones frequently; if you keep the phone for a long time, you may experience battery degradation issues, or poor performance from the phone because it is operating at the thermal upper limit. I would also bet that you wont get more than 50% of that 5200mAh due to inefficiencies with the 3rd party battery. It’s up to you to decide if that’s worth $75.

    "The battery pack is smaller than other iPhones". This is actually not correct. The voltage of the battery pack is twice as high as the voltage on the iPhone 12 and therefore you cannot compare the amount of mAhs. Watt-hour should be used to compare the sizes.
    MagSafe Battery Pack: 11,13 Wh
    iPhone 12 mini: 8,57 Wh
    iPhone 12 en 12 Pro: 10,75 Wh
    iPhone 12 Pro Max: 14,13 Wh
    Without taking into account the loses of the wireless charging the magsafe battery pack should be able to charge the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 (pro) to 100%

    I prefer the Smart Battery Case Apple made for 6, 6s, 7, X, and 11. Battery and protective case all in one. This power puck strikes me as a step backward.
    I have an 8 and miss having an SBC for it. I was keen to upgrade to a 12, but committed to buying an SBC for the phone before buying the phone, itself.
    This late in the product cycle, I can hold out for the 13/12s. But I know now that I’ll have to settle for a 3rd party battery case, because Apple won’t officially realize the power puck was a mistake until the iPhone 14 rolls out.

    You should look into battery capacity in terms of watt hours rather than mAh. As Apple battery pack voltage is different, the same amount of mAh will charge iPhone differently. Also we can't compare Apple battery pack with other third party packs which switch iPhone into "plug-in" mode - let me explain: if you take battery pack with much higher capacity, it will not have integration for iPhone to understand that its not simply plugged in into wall charger and it will start to do various battery intensive operations such as updates and syncing. So, in reality you will get much more battery life from Apple battery pack compared to third party battery pack which will state higher capacity. Another thing is that some third party battery packs also interferes with cellular connection and then iPhone consumes more power because it has to increase consumption of battery power as well. Lots of things to think about, which Apple, very likely, did.

    I like how Zollotech talks has all the information you want about apple products, without being biased. Most youtubers are either for or against apple, so they talk shit about all the things apple do or always find a way to say how amazing it is.
    Zollotech is just giving the information and gives his honest opinion.
    Like he mentioned here, it’s handy that it reverse charges, but it looks a bit odd on the bigger phones and for the price his not sure if it’s something you really want.

    Most likely the flash warning with the battery pack attached is probably from light bouncing off the side of the pack and entering the lens causing lens flare. This is why you see DSLR shooters (like me) use those lens hoods that stick out from the lens-it's to keep side-light from hitting the lens and causing flares.

    Thanks for a great run down. :-) I ordered the MagSafe battery pack and I’m about to open the box. just had a couple of questions.
    1. How long does it take for the battery pack it self to charge?
    2. I have an iPhone 12 Pro. So you’re saying it will only charge the iPhone once and I might not get a full charge from it? So then, if I plug the battery back to the back of the iPhone when the phone is at 20%, how much percent will the battery pack give the phone?
    3. It’s great that you can see how much charge the battery pack has when it’s charging your iPhone, but is there a way to tell how much charge the battery pack has when it is charging by itself? I know there is a light but I’m blind and won’t see the light so I wondered if there still away for the iPhone to tell you how much charge the battery pack has? But asit’s not connected via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi I’m guessing not.

    I recently bought it but after not using it after some days even though it’s fully charged when I connect it to my phone it shows 0%. If I plug a lightning cable in it it suddenly wakes up and shows the real percentage and works just fine. Is this normal? Should it be replaced?
