Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack: A Brief History and Possible Revival

Apple introduced the MagSafe battery pack in July 2021, a unique accessory that offered seamless integration with iPhones through reverse wireless charging. The $99 device could charge an iPhone 12 Pro once or provide around 60-80% of a charge to more recent models like the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16e. However, Apple discontinued the accessory in September 2023 due to the switch to USB-C ports.

Despite its discontinuation, the article suggests that the MagSafe battery pack could make a comeback through the Beats brand. Apple has been releasing new iPhone accessories under Beats, including hard-plastic cases and charging cables. A potential Beat-branded MagSafe battery bank could offer unique iOS integration and reverse wireless charging at a lower price point compared to third-party options.

For those interested, Anker's MagGo battery is currently available as a viable alternative, offering 5000mAh for $40.
