Apple MagSafe battery pack features
The battery pack has almost everything that you’d expect from an official Apple accessory, including the price tag associated with it. While Apple has not disclosed the actual capacity of the charging accessory, the actual battery pack says it is just 1460 mAh.
And with this limited capacity, the battery pack may barely be able to juice up the smallest of the lot- iPhone 12 Mini while offering just a fraction of juice to its bigger siblings.
Since we know that thanks to MagSafe, a range accessory can be attached magnetically to the latest iPhones which include wallets, cases and even tripods. However, the official accessories have a deeper integration with the iOS. Though the support page for the MagSafe battery pack says that it requires iOS 14.7 to work, which itself may arrive later this month.
Talking about the charging capabilities, the MagSafe battery pack can charge the iPhones at 5W charging speed when charging wirelessly. Though the speed increases to 15W when connected to a 20W power adapter. Additionally, it can also charge accessories like AirPods Pro etc.
