Ranked #2 in Best MagSafe Power Banks

Apple MagSafe Battery Pack

4.3

4 sources1 derived$99as of Oct 4

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

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.

Belkin BoostCharge Pro Qi2 15W Magnetic Power Bank 5K

The Belkin BoostCharge Pro excels in battery performance with 79% recharge capability, outperforming the Anker MagGo and UGREEN models, but it's more expensive than the Native Union (Re)Classic and lacks the slim profile of the latter. While it offers a kickstand like the Mophie Snap+, it's less portable.
