Apple released its thinnest phone last week. iPhone Airrevealing new iPhone Air Magsafe Battery beside. The presence of specially made battery packs is not surprising to me, as there were rumors of iPhone Air for months before the event began. Everyone is ready for the thinnest iPhone ever to sacrifice some battery life for its slim design.
But, to my surprise, how much Apple tilted on the new battery during the introduction to iPhone Air launch. The company even listed battery life estimates with and without this optional battery pack iPhone Air Specs. This tells me – and the average consumer – the battery pack is a highly recommended purchase made on a good day, and for all iPhone air owners, the battery pack is a highly respected purchase on a bad day.
So, should people spend $999 (or more) on iPhone Air, should they plan to go up for this specially designed battery pack for another $99? I’m here to tell you that this is a ridiculous idea that you shouldn’t do, especially when other options are at a lower price.
To be clear, I personally didn’t try using iPhone air using this battery pack. My colleague Sam Rutherford iPhone Air Review), he thinks this is very suitable for iPhone air. In particular, he likes some of the (recognized) smart features Apple contains, such as the ability of the battery to charge and the phone while it plugs into the phone, and it can wirelessly fill the Airpods Pro 3. But, he does admit that math is just not Mathin’ in this matter when it comes to valuable money.
According to the information written by the power library itself, this $99 iPhone Air Magsafe battery has 3149 mAh. The price per milliampere hour is about $0.03. Let’s compare this to one of the top choices in our guide The best MagSafe Power Banksthis Anker Nano battery: The 5,000 MAH Pack costs $55 and $0.01 per mAh. Even the watt-hour rating (WHR) on the Apple package is lower: 12.26whr, and the 25WHR on the Anker option is the same. And don’t forget that the Anker Pack isn’t specifically for iPhone air – like other magnetic power libraries, it works with other iPhones and smartphones.
To add to the insult to injury, Apple’s Air MagSafe battery is delivered with 12W wireless charging unless it plugs in while powering the phone and can be powered via PassThrough USB-C charging. The Anker Pack is QI2 certified for wireless charging up to 15W, and thanks to the iPhone Air’s support of up to 20W of wireless power, this means that Anker’s accessories can provide a full 15W when captured behind the air.
Not only can you get half the price of MAH capacity with the Anker option (and start it up faster), but if you consider (assuming) the numbers get more ridiculous, a larger Apple-made battery pack may cost more. With these numbers, a 5K Apple MagSafe battery will cost $150, while a 10K bank will get you back $300. Imagine paying these prices for any other electricity bank produced by any other company – it’s ridiculous and we should treat it like this.
Now, is it inappropriate for Apple to make overpriced accessories? Absolutely not. But this is $99 Milan Loop Band For Apple Watch and even $250 Magic Keyboard For iPad. The battery pack is so important to the entire iPhone air story that the power specifications of the phone cannot be checked correctly without its phone. That’s crazy.
I’ll take one of our guides as an example, but rest assured that there are many others magsafe Battery Bag Reputable manufacturers with similar specifications are now available. Just looking for anything QI2 compatible magnetic library It works with the iPhone Air, and your hands may be taller than Apple’s in-house manufactured package. Those who want to overpay for fashion and convenience can certainly do this, but don’t let anyone convince you that this is your best or only option.
