Apple MagSafe Battery Pack

4.3

4 sources1 derived$59as of Jul 31

Apple says its MagSafe Battery Pack extends iPhone 12 and 13 battery life by up to 60%, and real-world testing put the figure around 60% additional charge for iPhone 13 Pro users. It's compact, with strong magnets, a soft-touch finish, and iOS integration that needs no setup. Reviewers treated it as a premium option that earns its place on trips while costing too much for the capacity you get. iMore called it a 'premium battery pack for your iPhone 12,' and iPhone J.D. praised how well it held up on extended trips, though both flagged the high price and the modest battery size.

Strengths

— Fully integrated into iOS 14.7 and later with smart charging features
— Compact size with strong magnetic attachment for secure iPhone connection
— Unlocks iPhone 12 reverse wireless charging capability

Watch-outs

— Expensive at $99.99 list price
— Small battery capacity of 1,460 mAh with limited additional charge
— Battery can wiggle while attached to iPhone

Ranked #4 in Best MagSafe Power Banks

Baseus MagSafe Power Bank 10000mAh

4.2

3 sources$29.99as of Jul 31

Capacity and speed are what the Baseus MagSafe Power Bank 10000mAh brings, along with an integrated USB-C cable that supports 30W wired charging on iPhone 15 and 16. Macworld's Simon Jary rated it a top performer in battery tests with a 187% charge efficiency score. AppleInsider found it heavier than an iPhone 14 Pro Max and quick to pick up fingerprints. It works with all MagSafe iPhones but is optimized for the newer ones, which makes iPhone 15/16 owners who want real power in a portable form the target.

Strengths

— 10,000mAh capacity provides high battery life with 187% charge efficiency in tests
— Built-in USB-C cable enables fast 30W wired charging for iPhone 15/16 models
— MagSafe-compatible design works with all MagSafe iPhones including iPhone 12/13/14

Watch-outs

— Built-in USB-C cable is optimized for iPhone 15/16 users, limiting compatibility
— Heavier than iPhone 14 Pro Max at 9.6 ounces, weighing more than the device itself
— Plastic and rubber materials attract fingerprints and skin oils

How they stack up

Apple MagSafe Battery Pack

Unlike the Belkin BoostCharge Pro or ESR HaloLock, Apple's MagSafe Battery Pack offers seamless iOS integration and unlocks reverse wireless charging on iPhone 12 models, but it lacks the high capacity of competitors like the Baseus or Aukey Omnia models. Its premium price and limited 1,460 mAh capacity make it less practical for heavy users compared to the Ugreen or Spigen alternatives.

Baseus MagSafe Power Bank 10000mAh

The Baseus MagSafe Power Bank stands out with its 187% charge efficiency and 30W wired charging for iPhone 15/16 models, but it's heavier than the Apple or Ugreen models and has a design that attracts fingerprints. Unlike the Belkin or Aukey Omnia, it's optimized for newer iPhones and lacks the compactness of the Anker or Spigen models.
