Apple releases all-new MagSafe Battery Pack for $99

The news: Apple just released a new MagSafe-enabled battery pack that attaches directly to the backs of iPhone 12 models.

Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack features a total of 2920mAh of juice inside and requires iOS 14.7, which should be launching soon, to work properly
The product is available in white only for $99 on apple.com

Our take: This is a wonderful idea and is an instant-cop for me. These are the type of wildly cool MagSafe accessories that I want to see!

Update: As noted by Andru Edwards, there are actually two 1460mAh batteries inside the pack, not just one as we previously reported.

If someone tells you that the MagSafe Battery Pack is 1,460mAh – they didn’t do the research and went for the hot take instead.

It’s an 11.1Wh battery, which is about the size of the iPhone 12 battery. There are TWO 1460mAh cells in it, but you do lose power efficiency with Qi. pic.twitter.com/BWobnqsTRS
