Apple's MagSafe Batt Pack is only meant to top up in an emergency or urgent basis which will last your phone to get to a proper wall adapter.

Well written!

If only the Apple one was USB-C. I'm so tired of Lightning.

Since you haven’t tried this quickly press and let go of the volume up and press and let go of the volume down button and then press and hold the power button until you see the Apple logo and let us know if this works

I’m 30 and honestly just want something reliable that does not require me to tinker around to make work. And that is what I absolutely love the iPhone and have had one since the iPhone 4. And I could never go to android (although I tried lots of times just for curiosity).

And I’m not even on apple ecosystem (only have iPhone from apple anything else). And no use for iMessage in Europe also..

Not a 14, but a 12 mini. Wanted a powerbank that isn't overly expensive as I wasn't gonna use it much.

Went for the first generation of Anker, the PowerCore Magnetic 5K (as I also wanted a tiny one that wouldn't be bigger than the phone itself).

I was expecting bad performance (charging speed and capacity) but I'm quite surprised as it works better than expected so far. In the end I'm especially happy about the fact that it only costed about 30€ and fill its job perfectly.

Anker 521, I love it

The Apple one is the only one that gives truly optimized charge. And with this I mean thermally, it has a thermal sensor and communicate with the phone to stop charging it when temperature could be an issue. Plus it has the option to charge the phone up to 90% and keeping it there to extend its battery life on a hard day. Keep in mind that this is a battery EXTENDER, not a charger.

My 14 pro max is typically at about 60% when I go to bed, I’ve never had to charge it mid day. What are y’all doing that would require a battery pack? I used my gps for 5hrs and played video on cellular and was only at 50% when I went to bed that day.

im pretty sure they meant wired lol

Get the Apple one

What makes it weird? Also considering the Anker.

Third party cables give this when not mfi

I have the weetla one for my iPhone 13, usb type C and kickstand, works great. Thinking about ordering a second one

>Thoughts?

Why are you posting here? Nothing you read here is as important as the fact that you like Android better.

I have the Apple Battery Pack and I like it. The only downside I see with it is that its capacity is very small compared to others you have mentioned on the list.

Apple battery pack should be thought more of a battery extension rather than a power bank(generally speaking). So say, you have 10-20% charge, and you will get it back to perhaps 80% or so without much usage in parallel.

So in this sense, if you want something that brings your phone from 0 to 100, while you are using it, don’t go with the Apple pack.

They’re kinda cheap, look for your compatibility model on amazon and check the reviews. Get something cheap with good reviews. But ive see the good ones chip as well so i stuck to getting the cheap ones with good reviews, hurts but not as much when they chip☺️

Are they still only available in white? That’s my one issue with them

i have the official magsafe one and it’s perfect for me, the smallest and lightest one

I have the Anker 633. It does have a kick stand and can simultaneously charge wired and magsafe.

Edit- corrected spelling.

Always try to use Apple certified/original cabling from Apple whenever possible! Used to use a random charger+cable combo from a local shop, ended up frying my AirPods and screwing up my AWS6’s sensor that I had to get both of them in for in warranty replacement 🥲

Apple is very slow at implementing features. It seems that actually they are concentrating all the efforts to the new AR/VR OS so iOS 17 will not have so much new features.

Maybe they will implement what you need in the future but surely not so fast as you can expect.
