DesignĪs always, I wish Apple made these in different colors. Certainly long enough for a day away from the charger, which is the most likely scenario. Whether its keeping you entertained through a flight or just helping you go off the grid on a weekend camping getaway, Apple’s MagSafe battery pack will last you long enough. While other battery packs may offer more battery life, you just don’t need it. As a result, it only offers about 10% more of a charge than the Apple MagSafe battery pack, from zero.īy not being wasteful with the electricity stored in the battery pack, you can easily make Apple’s MagSafe battery pack keep your iPhone 12 or 13 mini going for two days or more. The HyperJuice can’t push through to charge the iPhone much higher than 80%, even with low power mode on and the phone idle.
While the HyperJuice has an 18Wh battery, vs the 11Wh battery in Apple’s battery pack, it doesn’t translate to much more battery life. What does the Apple MagSafe battery pack offer than third party choices can’t? And is it worth it, despite the reduced battery storage and price that’s about double that of other battery packs? For some people, yes. That’s part of the reason I’ve been holding off on this review for months now, I just haven’t been using it enough. I’ve been taking it with me, occasionally using it while I’m out, but, the truth is, I need it far less often than I thought I would. For something smaller, with tight Apple integration and no heat issues, you could instead choose Apple’s MagSafe battery pack. I also found that it can cause your iPhone to overheat, so it’ll reduce the brightness of the screen and other functions while charging. I already tried out Hyper’s HyperJuice MagSafe battery pack. Sure, wireless charging is slower and less efficient than wired charging, but the convenience is enough to make these options more attractive. However, with MagSafe, we got a new option: just slapping a battery pack on the back of your iPhone.
I even have a large, rugged solar-powered battery pack. Battery packs for our mobile devices have been around for years. When that happens, it’s time to reach for a battery pack. However, sometimes, you may want more battery life than even Apple’s largest iPhone could offer.

Both accessories are no longer available to order on Apple's online store, with the product listings completely removed.īoth the MagSafe Battery Pack and MagSafe Duo Charger were equipped with a Lightning port, so it is not too surprising that they were discontinued after Apple introduced four new iPhone 15 models with USB-C ports.
