Apple released its new MagSafe Battery Pack earlier this week for the iPhone 12 series. It's so cool, but there's one thing that's really special about it. This very well could be the first new product that Apple has released in a decade that didn't leak first. Congrats, Apple! The device itself is very cool too, of course. It attaches to any of Apple's iPhone 12 models using the nifty magnetic MagSafe system. Slap it on anytime you need a quick charge, and then pop it back off when you're good to go!
The Apple MagSafe Battery Pack is cool indeed. But it suffers from the same problem that affects so many other Apple accessories. You guessed it: this battery pack is very expensive. $99 is a lot to spend on any battery pack, let alone one with a capacity of 2920 mAh. Fortunately for Apple fans, Amazon has a similar option, Anker PowerCore Magnetic 5K Wireless Power Bank, in stock right now for about half that price.
Just like Apple's new accessory, the Anker PowerCore Magnetic 5K Wireless Power Bank uses Apple's MagSafe tech. That means you can slap it on the back of your compatible iPhone and it hangs on using strong magnets. Compatible models include the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. With its large 5000 mAh capacity, you'll be able to recharge any of those iPhone models. On top of that, you'll have plenty of juice leftover even if you fully recharge your phone from empty.
Another nifty difference between this model and Apple's is the fact that the PowerCore Magnetic 5K has a USB-C port. In theory, you could use this power bank to recharge your iPhone and ditch your Lightning cable entirely. Wouldn't it be nice to only have to use USB-C from now on?
At just $45.99, this wireless power bank is a tremendous value compared to Apple's new accessory. It's also made by Anker, which you undoubtedly know is the top charging accessory maker out there. It's a high-quality accessory that includes important features like advanced temperature control and overcharge protection. It also comes with an 18-month warranty. If you own an iPhone 12 series phone and you don't want to drop $99 on a power back, definitely grab one of these on Amazon instead.
