Apple is working on a MagSafe-compatible battery pack for the iPhone 12, which, unlike previous Smart Battery Charges for earlier iPhones, combines the iPhone 12 models with magnets.

The battery pack will be easy to pop on and off on the iPhone, and because it’s easy to remove, it won’t be as big or as awesome as the battery options previously designed by Apple. The MagSafe battery pack isn’t out yet, but this guide covers everything we’ve heard about it so far.
Custom rumors
There were traces of a MagSafe battery pack first in code in the iOS 14.5 beta, which mentioned a “battery pack” without warning. The name was notorious for not having a standard product called Apple battery pack, as battery options previously designed by Apple were referred to as Smart Battery Cases.
After finding the code in the beta, Bloomberg Apple’s work on the battery pack confirmed MagSafe, which has been in development for at least a year.
Design
The MagSafe battery pack attaches to the back of iPhone, and some prototypes have a white rubber exterior.
Previous Smart Battery Cases are available in white, along with black and blush pink, so we could see some of the same color options with the MagSafe battery pack. The MagSafe battery pack is likely to have a silicone cover similar to Apple’s iciPhone silicone cases.
There is no word yet on how big the battery pack will be or how thick it will be, but again, the Smart Battery Case may be giving a few hints.

Apple Smart Battery Case
All smart battery cases had a crotch on the back where the battery resided, so we could see a MagSafe battery pack working in the same way and it could be of approximately the same size as the Leather Wallet attachment. , another MagSafe accessory that goes behind MagSafe iPhone.
Magnetic strength
according to Bloomberg, Apple has tested the magnetic strength of the MagSafe battery pack to make sure it stays firmly in place when charging.
Tax distance
A MagSafe battery pack might charge the PiPhone 12 models at the same speed as a standard MagSafe charger, though that’s not certain and the cost could be slower due to a lack of power supply. The MagSafe charger charges the iPhone 12, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max at 15W at most, and the iPhone 12 mini at 12W at most, but may not be needed charge speed for a battery pack that stands attached to the back. of the phone as you go.
Developmental problems
Apple has been working on a MagSafe battery pack since then before the iPhone 12 models launched, but Apple has run into software issues that delayed the launch of the accessory.
Apple is trying to resolve an issue that causes the iPhone to incorrectly report that the battery pack is getting too hot, and there are also problems when a user switches between using a package MagSafe battery when case is connected and when case is removed.
Problems may not come as a surprise to those who have had Apple’s previous Smart Battery Cases as there have been problems with some of them. Apple in 2020 launched a new program for Smart Battery Cases designed for the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, as there were cost issues in some of these cases.
Modified features
Leaker Jon Prosser, who has a mixed history when it comes to predicting Apple’s plans, says there will be two versions of the MagSafe battery pack, one of which will feature “reverse charge.”
It is not clear what is meant by “reverse reverse” in this context. It may be able to charge more than one device at a time, such as charging the iPhone and the AirPods at the same time, or it may refer to the iPhone being able to charge charge the battery pack when plugged into an electrical cable.
Alternatives
Other companies are developing battery pack options that are compatible with MagSafe. Anker, for example, has introduced a 5C Magnetic PowerCore Wireless Power Bank, which is designed to support the back of MagSafe iPhone using the magnetic connection.

Anker Magnetic PowerCore Power Bank is not designed using Apple MagSafe’s official system and can only charge iPhone at a maximum of 5W.
Release date
Due to the development issues that Apple has run into, it is unclear when the MagSafe battery pack will be released, and Bloomberg stated that there is a chance that it may be delayed or postponed.
