I recently took the MagSafe Battery Pack back to Disney and I was so impressed with how well it did. I honestly can't recommend this product enough to anyone that asks me about it. It truly is better than all the 3rd party MagSafe battery packs out there.

I completely agree with you. I just bought my magsafe battery pack a few days ago, and I absolutely love it. I love the features and how it keeps the battery safe.
Yes it is such a great device and after having the 3rd party one ruin my battery health last year I’m so glad I went with it.
Yes it will I have it too it’s faster than before to recharge you need to update the firmware update on it to unlock the 7.5w charging
Yeah update should happen automatically when you use it
@@TheAppleBias to make it faster plug it to a iPad Pro M1 or MacBook Pro make the screens doesn’t turn off
Yeah I heard that or a Mac but mine just updated pretty quickly attached to the phone.
Remember when you returned the first one and I talked you into giving it another try?
You went to Orlando, I think and then you gave one of the best reviews!
I’ve had mine for over a year as well and couldn’t be happier!
Yes I am so glad I gave it another shot, this last trip was def the longest I have used it every day and in the hottest part of a Florida summer since the first review when I wasn't happen, but it did so well. I am so happy I took your advice and gave it another try.
@@TheAppleBias You are always the gentleman. Thanks!
One very important thing that many people do not understand and you made very clear on your review is the fact that it is a smart battery and communicates with the OS in order to avoid heat issues. All other battery packs or chargers lack that ability!
Yeah after losing 16% of my iPhone 12 battery health in 10 months. It really opened my eyes to possible causes and I believe the biggest cause was the 3rd party battery pack.
One important point I have found is indeed HOW to use the MagSafe Battery Pack.
This isn’t the sort of battery pack you pop on your phone when low on battery. It just doesn’t work that great for that, imo. Approaching this product like that can be frustrating.
This battery pack is an extension of the phone. As you say, when you know you have a busy day or entering a busy phase, you put the pack on and forget about it. It then works seamlessly together and keeps the battery healthy.
Important difference and one I don’t think people realise is a big factor.
Pop it on, have your day, be comfortable you battery is managed and sound. 🙌
Exactly! Yeah I approached it the other way the first time around. I do think the increased charging speeds will help with the other way. But I just haven’t needed it that way in a while to really test it out.
@@TheAppleBias I updated before my recent trip through Europe. Either the Pitaka case slows charging a little (doubtful) or it’s sweet spot remains as we suggest.
Good to know.
I’m glad to see this video. This product is underrated and people hate on it too much. I got mine open box for $60 and I’m so happy.
Yes, the heat is the main factor here. It will destroy a phone battery if it gets too hot. So the battery pack is super smart and won’t charge it if it’s really not necessary in that moment, where it’s hot. People complain about how the battery would drop down, but without realizing why
Yes and that is an amazing price for the pack. Great find.
@@TheAppleBias It sure is. Also, did my comment post twice? I only noticed now lol. I was having internet errors earlier so I think it posted twice
Yeah I think it did. It happens no biggie.
how did you manage $60? I would only assume used, but if new, where?
@@dbzownz12345 Open box, basically like new, from eBay. It was likely used a little bit, maybe. Open box stuff has surprisingly low prices for basically new stuff, depending on where you get it from
Good that you’re making this video I was furious at first when you uploaded your first MagSafe in Disneyland video 😂
Haha yeah. Live and learn. I like making the I was wrong videos. Just means I learned something new.
@@TheAppleBias It's good to be able to admit when you're wrong. It's a good trait. 🙏☺️
@AdamKowalski-hb2db thanks
I have the MagSafe battery pack for the iPhone 12 mini does a great job I’ve use it for six months so far I like it a lot.
Awesome to hear other enjoy it as much as I do. I really think it and the mini are the perfect combo.
What’s your battery health?
Hey whats your battery health so far?
@@Unknownuserhtps it was at 88% for the 2 years I had the phone so it didn’t really mess it up.
@@mrtoasticles7144 it was at 88% after 2 years so the battery pack didn’t do anything to the phone it just went down from normal use.
I absolutely love my MagSafe battery pack I will not buy another one from any other brand other than Apple, as I am so excited for the MagSafe battery pack 2.0 to come out
I haven’t heard anything about a 2.0 version coming. Have you? I’d be curious as to what they would do.
Yeah because they eventually have to update the old one
When did it come out? 2021? So in the next few years I hope apple updates it because there is a ton of empty space inside the battery
And hopefully they make it more efficient so not much heat is created😅
Yeah problem is battery tech just doesn’t progress as much as everything else. I’d love to see them update it. But I doubt it will happen anytime soon unless they do a color option thing just to try to grab more cash.
@@TheAppleBias that’s very true and kinda sounds like apple
Oh yeah but I still love them anyways.
I love your video. I will be buying one this coming weekend. hoping that local store have stocks. again, thanks for sharing your review.
Very awesome! Glad I was able to help. It’s a great accessory I have it on my phone right now.
I totally agree it’s an awesome accessory for the iphone
Love hearing that. How often do you use yours?
Thanks for this video! Will have to try it and see how it goes. Appreciate you sharing this with us! -Jack
Glad to help be sure to let me know what you think.
It would've been nice if Apple had been a little clearer with how to use this. There was no basic info in box when I bought it and only because of Google and TH-cam did I know that it was meant to be slapped on after the phone was fully charged. And that it only sips all the time and alternates between the phone and battery.
A single or two page visual explanation of this in the box would maybe ha e helped all those who don't know how to use this
It can charge up a dead iPhone as well. It’s just not as efficient that way. So to get the most out of it it works best to put it on at the beginning of a busy day.
I understand that the best way to use the Apple Battery pack is just to attach when both phone and pack are at a 100%. But let’s say I’m out and about and I realized that that I won’t be near a charger for a few hours and my 12 Pro Max is about 50%. Would this battery pack be a good option to charge/extend my battery?
Yeah it will work that way too it’s just more efficient the other way. Only issue you could run into that way is if it’s summer and super hot outside and the phone and battery heat up then the battery will pause charging to not reduce the battery health of the phone.
@@TheAppleBias Got it. Thanks for the reply!
@moncho33 happy to help.
@@TheAppleBias And I use CarPlay on my commute to and from work. If I know that I’m doing something after work, then I’ll charge at work. But wanted to get something to keep on my bag for any “emergency”. I know the Apple battery pack is optimized to work with iOS better than other third party versions.
Can you reference some documentation that confirms that this battery pack actually takes external heat into account? Nothing included in the packaging says anything about that.
I haven’t seen anything just what I experienced. I was outside in 90-100 degree weather for 9 days straights and noticed it doing it nearly every day. Where the battery of the pack would stay at a certain percentage and the phone would drop to 50-60%. Rather than keeping it closer to the 90% like it normally does.
@@TheAppleBias never mind, I just found some Apple information confirming what you said.
Awesome. You mind sharing the link and I’ll post it in the description.
i've just recently become battery-temp-conscious, and ordered this exact iphone/battery-pack combo... but what are your thoughts on like fast chargers like the new Anker Nano wall-adapters and Anker cables? Or do you only use Apple chargers? And do you use 5w, 12w, or 20w or more? Or do you charge your iPhone & Apple magsafe battery at the same time?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on all this, even on a video! :D
Only 3rd party charger I use it in the car. All other times I’m using apple MagSafe or the MagSafe battery. When on vacation I’ll charge the battery pack and phone together (just more convenient) but usually I charge them separately. I’m sure Ankers lightning cables and brick are fine. But when it comes to MagSafe I try to stick with apple and their defaults.
@@TheAppleBias thank you!!! 🙏
i'm waiting for this to come on sale to at least $70, hopefully the amazon holiday deals in a week.
You can also always check eBay. I’ve heard some people have gotten it even cheaper on there at times.
I'm interested in getting one of these for a 13 Mini but I'm not sure if I will be able to use it because I bought a R2L diode that sticks to the back of the phone to reduce radiation. Are you familiar with these at all? Will this get in the way of the mag safe charger?
I am not aware of what that is. But it it’s think and goes over where the MagSafe is then it will def at the least hinder it’s ability to stay connected to the phone. Your best bet is to try a regular MagSafe puck charger first and see how well that holds and charges through this R2L thing.
Do you use the mag safe battery often or can you get through a full day just fine
I don’t use it very often. Mainly just when I am traveling and when I know I’m gonna have a long day.
Is it effecting the iPhone battery’s life tho ?
All batteries have a lifecycle count before they die. But that’s a 0-100% cycle so charging it from 50-100 is only half of a full count. The biggest selling point on apples is that is stop or slows down charging when the phone gets hot. Cause charging a hot battery can reduce its life faster.
i can't find an official apple one anywhere :(
Yeah Apple stopped selling it. eBay is probably your best bet
Can you use this with Otterbox symmetry Plastic case ?
As long as it has the MagSafe ring inside the case then yes. My quick google shows that some of those cases have it while others don’t.
Hello, how long does the battery last when stored?
No clue. Here info one how to best store them. www.call2recycle.org/consumer-safety-tips/
But the 3rd party MagSafes are dumb but your phone isn’t I’ve had the warning it’s to hot to charge and then wouldn’t just from the wall
Yeah but when it gets to that stage your phone is super hot. The MagSafe battery helps it not get to that point.
Digging the video… I wish they made a black one.
Thanks man. Yeah that’s be cool.
Not seeing much on the way of full coverage with stickers. But there are a few different silicon and leather cover options. amzn.to/3c8ZRt6. Nomad makes the leather on. But it’s $30
Because you are still using it whilst charging
Nice video! Do you think Apple might release some new magsafe battery pack this year, speacially with the iPhone 14? I'm not sure if I buy the battery pack now, or if I wait for a new version of it...
I honestly wouldn’t expect it since it fits fine on the 14 models. Battery tech doesn’t change much year to year do I could see it not being updated for a few years.
That’s being said I don’t know for sure. But really can’t see it happening.
It’s too bad the battery pack turns an iPhone mini into an iPhone big and heavy….kind of defeats the purpose of buying a compact phone.
It’s too bad apple couldn’t have made the battery bigger somehow on the minis.
Great thing with the battery pack you only have to add that extra thickness and weight when you need it. And not have it all the time.
@@TheAppleBias that’s very true.
I’m hoping I can just manage my iPhone 13 mini without extra battery…will see how it goes. I will buy the Apple product as it is for sure the best one to buy to protect the phone battery as mentioned in the video
I CAN’T USE MINE CAUSE I GOTTA UPDATE ND I DONT GOT A MAC OR IPAD 🤦🏽♂️🙄🥴
Update? They did a firmware update on it I guess but I’m sure it will happen through the phone and it just increased the charging speed and isn’t really necessary.
@@TheAppleBias yeah i read that , 😩 but how can I update it , cause I wanna used it since I travel 🧭 a lot
I just relooked up the data on it and just using the pack with your phone will get the update to happen it may take a bit but if you use your battery pack a decent amount it’s probably already been updated. Here is the article on it. www.macrumors.com/how-to/update-magsafe-battery-pack-firmware/
@@TheAppleBias thank you 🙏 so much , will look on it 🫡 and try to update it. Thanks 😊
No problem happy to help. I checked mine and I have the update. And never had to plug mine into a Mac or iPad to get it.
Host is handsome and great details in the video
Thanks
Then you should delete your first video, because it is misleading, since you basicity trashed the thing.
I’m not a big fan of deleting videos. I’m human I make mistakes and learn. I also usually talk about my previous experiences with things and want people to be able to see that content as well if they want to. I will go back and make sure I added the link to this video to the description of that video tho.
Im gonna stick to my anker magsafe portable charger. Battery last longer and i can stand my phone vertically plus you can charge other devices via USB C. I know anker knows how to make portable batteries so aside from apple I only trust them. The apple charger would be great if its capacity were bigger. At its price its a bad value.
Main part of this video is just making sure people know that other batteries can’t talk to the phone to know when the best time to charge or stop charging is. That’s what apple does well. Yeah other company’s May make larger packs with added tricks. But apple is prioritizing making sure they protect the battery health of the iPhone. Which I doubt most 3rd parties will do.
@@TheAppleBias yup I just wish they listened to feedback and at least provide a battery that can fully charge the phone once.
The fact that if I put the battery on at the beginning of the day 7am that it can get me 12-13 hours is pretty insane. I remember when it came out people freaked out about the size, but it was double what everyone thought cause they didn’t understand I believe it’s a 2920mAh capacity.
The Apple MagSafe isn’t in the same category as the likes of the Anker.
The Apple MagSafe is designed to be out on your iPhone when both MagSafe and iPhone is 100%. You keep it on your iPhone until the MagSafe dies then you should have 80-90% battery.
The likes of the Anker are used to charge your iPhone vs being a battery extender like the MagSafe.
