Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack: It’s More Than Just a Power Warmer
Buzzed by the hype and smoke‑free shelves, this little gadget finally zooms into stores starting July 28, raking in $139 for fans who crave extra juice on the go.
What Did Steven Russell Lemme Do With It?
Twitter’s flash‑mob tech reviewer @stevenrussell got his hands on the pack over the weekend and decided to put it to the real‑world test – think air‑pods, phones, watches, you name it!
Charging the AirPods: A Master‑Class Moment
He snapped a pic – AirPods Pro perched perfectly on the MagSafe battery pack, charging quietly. Classic Apple: the phone and its buds playing the same tune.
What It Can’t Do (Because, Naturally, There Are Limits)
- MagSafe charger? Nope – The pack is a receiver, not a source for MagSafe cables.
- Qi pad? Not a match – Your cheap wireless charging pad and this iPhone‑handy Power Pack just don’t see eye to eye.
- Apple Watch? Alarmingly stubborn – It will not charge the Apple Watch; the watch needs its own Apple charger.
Where It Shines
- Reverse wireless charging – Plug an iPhone 12 into a Lightning adapter, then your battery pack powers the phone. Talk about synergy!
Why It’s Designed for iPhone 12 Series
The pack’s genius lies in its tight coupling to the iPhone 12 lineup. It’s a sleek companion that swells the phone’s battery life with minimal fuss.
Final Takeaway
Apple may position the MagSafe Battery Pack as a nifty backup, but Steven Russell’s experiments prove it’s a real utility. It can double as a wireless charging pad (for AirPods) but not for all devices—kind of like a Swiss Army knife that’s a bit picky. Get it, ship from July 28, price at $139, and you’re ready to power on the go. Happy charging!
