I personally use it with my 14 Pro, and I can confidently say that it's worth every penny. However, the only concern I have is the significant heat it generates, which I believe could potentially impact the battery in the long run.
Yeah I've read and heard that the generated heat is not great for the battery.
You have to remember when wireless charging no matter what charger you use it will make it heat up . If you put the battery on once your battery is on 90 it will keep it around 80-90 and it will only really get hot if your playing games or downloading stuff
I use it on my 13pro max my 14pro max and now 15 pro and yes I don’t remember my phone ever dying. Can we talk about the fact that I can now charge with both lightening and usbc now
This is why I pretty much use it only at night after a long day out so I don't worry to much about heat
@@TheFlareMind The battery pack is heat sensitive, so if you're power using it will stop charging and resume when the phone cools down again. It will usually send a notification telling you that.
Awesome video! I purchased my battery pack as soon as it was released! I love it!
As someone that has the iPhone 15 Pro, I don't think I need it because it is the only iPhone that has the option to change the charging behavior to 80% limit. Occasionally it will charge up to 100% to ensure the battery health is fully optimal. I also created a shortcut to turn on low battery mode after reaching 80%. I have had it for 2 months and it's still at 100% battery health.
Wdym u have an 80% limit? R u talking about the optimized battery charging option?
yep @@Ballsack44
@@Ballsack44the 80% charging limit option is only available on the iPhone 15 models.
Use it for travel or if you’re out all day long
@@Ballsack44I think so. Trickle charging after 80%. Even my se2 had it.
Excellent video. Very informative and helpful.
Just upgraded from the XS to a Product Red 13 Mini.
Got a few MagSafe accessories, including a portable charging stand that I can use on the go, and to trigger Standby Mode when I'm home. I'd originally got one more like Apple's own, but returned it in favour of a much more useful one.
Thanks for the content!
Dude, I’ve had an iPhone 14 Pro since launch, and you explaining your experience with your 14 Pro battery draining alarmingly quickly, is *exactly* what happened to me, so much so, that my 14 Pro battery health is 87%, just like what you showed in the video. This is after owning it since November 9th 2022 (I got my launch model replaced under warranty because of an unrelated manufacturer defect with the screen).
I got a MagSafe battery pack for Christmas 2023, and I cannot tell you how much I agree with you with how amazing it is. Not only does it not charge my phone past 90%, but it also doesn’t generate as much heat as a MagSafe charger, so I can charge my phone on the battery pack, while it’s connected to a lightning port, for 15W of much cooler charging temperatures.
i Think its IOS fault. My 14 Pro is the same thing
@@carlosjr.2082 I’m curious to know if the battery health would degrade any slower, on iOS 17, than it did on iOS 16.
I’ll get my battery replaced once it reaches 80%, which probably won’t be until iOS 18-19, who knows.
@@ocoe5528that is not an excuse for apple tho why is it only at 87% max capacity when it hasent even been that long since release, the older ones use to last way longer
And you paid premium for that Kak 😂
Try android, less ads, less problems
Why are you reviewing a product while having clearly no idea how voltage works?
Exactly.
I wish apple still made the battery cases, they did the exact same thing as this except they were slimmer, allowed for wireless charging both devices at once, had a higher capacity and were more efficient/ran cooler due to the wired connection.
I have this same battery pack for my iPhone 15Pro as well! Love it
The charge rate is actually 7.5w when not plugged in. When plugged in it’s 15w. When it launched it is correct that it charged with 5w but this got updated in a firmware update in 2022. Great product nonetheless. Used it everyday for my iPhone 13 mini.
Same here. I've had my 13 mini for almost 3 years now and the battery health just dropped to 99% one day ago.
Thats crazy man
@@s1nnxrr I know. I keep the battery pack on all the time and let the internal battery maintain at 91%. Then at night I remove the battery pack to recharge it and turn the phone off so it always holds a charge at 91%. The next day - rinse and repeat.
FACTS ✅
@@fdblade1529how???
0:33 Many got the capacity wrong, it's 1,460 mAh but at 7.62V. The iPhone uses 3.81V, so that should instead translate to 2,920 mAh
Good video, I’ve been using my battery 🔋 pack ever since it came out
I love mine. Using with 13 Pro Max and definitely a late adopter.
Love MagSafe battery pack just wish they’d release a usb c variant.
They'll probably do it shortly, considering this product is discontinued.
im waiting for one too
@@cxssetteman182why though
your video made me purchase a magsafe battery! it just arrived today from Amazon prime, i used it all day long on my iPhone 13 and i'm very surprised it does not bother me at all and in fact makes the phone's grip a bit better and comfortable!
Great review & they are a great way to save your iPhone battery, so on & so I forth Can you use this on the iPhone 15?
Yes as an old normal I have only used fast charge of any of my iPhones one time. At night I use a 2 amp low power connection to charge my Apple iPhone 15 Pro.
Because I am at my home office desk most of the time my Apple iPhone 15 Pro is always plugged in to a charger. Also plugged in when I am downstairs watching TV, and also while I am in my car. One of the first things I setup on my new Apple iPhone 15 Pro under Settings / Battery / Battery Health & Charging / Charging Optimization was to set it to 80% Limit. My hope is to have many years without having to replace the battery.
Have used my Apple iPhone 15 Pro as my daily driver since I first picked it up on October 2nd, 2023. Today December 8th, 2023 just checked under Settings / Battery / Battery Health & Charging and Maximum Capacity still shows 100%. So I am very happy under Charging Optimization new setting 80% Limit. Wish they had this limit in IOS for my now backup Apple iPhone 11 Pro. Would turn it on in a heartbeat.
Hi!
I have my Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G that has a 4000mAh+ battery, I use it heavily 7 to 8 hours of SOT with about 20% left, and charge it once per day (never during sleep, even sometimes charging it twice when I leave it for 5 min before sleep just to top It of, and in the morning I leave it to charge to 100% in another 5/7 minutes)
I have it for a year and a half now and 0 problems or concerns using the 120W charger, the biggest problem with the batteries nowadays is how fast you discharge it, making the battery super warm.
Or by using it and charging it as the same time..
A good way to keep the battery of my phone and ANY phone or any lithium ion battery for that matter is to guarantee that you don't make her warm, by letting her use as little juice as possible and to charge it moderately.
So if i do not let it drop below 50% charge and only charge it up to 80%-90% then long term degregdation is low. Is that correct?
My 13 Pro Max is at nearly 600 charge cycles, with 91% battery health and it still lasts great on a charge. I’ve had the phone for 28 months now so when the battery does eventually start to get bad I’ll probably just replace the battery rather than add a second power bank to it (can’t speak for a 14 series iPhone as I know they seem to degrade worse). I think this battery pack is best suited to those who need to use around 150% of a charge per day.
battery swaps are fairly expensive no?
@@NithinJune well I’ve had the phone for over 2 years and don’t need a new battery yet, so it’ll only likely be one replacement for the lifecycle of the phone in a year or two. I can buy a replacement for around £20-30 or get Apple to do it for £85. Not bad at all if it gives the phone an extra few years of life
@ewanmcd:May I know how were you charging your iPhone battery.are you charging your battery to 100% ?
@@srinivasrao-zo6lu I charge it to 100% with the Apple 5w charger overnight with optimised charging enabled. If I need to top it up during the day I use either wireless charging or a fast charger
@@ewanmcdonagh2827 fast charger means you mean 20W apple charger?How many hrs screen on time you are getting in a single charge and how many days?so you use the battery only from 100% to till 20% and start charging from 20%?How many charging cycles you used till now?I think charging count is not available in 14 series.
First, use the 91% limit to help your battery health; give 50% more battery cycles before health falls to 80% (750 cycles instead of 500). Using the MagSafe pack will drain the pack first, then when empty, starts using the internal phone battery. Because it is trickle charging during your day-to-day usage, it has little detrimental effect on the battery health.
Most of us use, on average, 4 hours SOT a day, so 20 hours is on standby, so we'll have the pack on from first thing until it runs out. I would not use it when gaming or when using the camera, as the wattage needed maxes out the pack and can cause further heat. I have used my iPhone 13PM for two years like this, and has 98% capacity and has reduced the cycle count to only 167 despite charging the pack once a day.
Great device if you use it the way I do.
Hey do you use it as a magsafe charger for overnight charging?
@@ephargha Yes, I use the MagSafe battery pack plugged in.
@@andyH_England appreciate for your reply, thanks!
not really.
The iPhone calculates its charging cycles by simply passing 100% every time. If you have the battery pack attached and using the 91% limit, every time the phone battery becomes less than the limit the battery pack will charge it back. the charging cycle will keep going because your phone is being charged incrementally every drop below 91%.
@@rakanal-zahrani3887 as far as I'm aware that is absolutely not true. If a person charges only 50% per day because that's all they need then it will register half a cycle. It works the same for 91%. It will register 9/10 of a cycle. To imagine it cannot work out something as simple as that would be false.
Off topic but please tell me where u got your “frameless” glasses? Dope. Or brand/model? Thx!
Should I wait for the newly release apple battery pack with type-c or not?
I have 98% after 11 months on my 14 pro, I never changed it over night. I use anker nano 30w charger and apple magsafe charger.
Tbh, I have one of these because of the convenience, but it generates so much heat that I think it has actually degraded my battery over time. I currently don’t use it anymore for the most part, and only use it when I need to on trips.
True.
The biggest enemy of lithium ion batteries is the heat, not the charge cycles
This thing safed my gfs iPhone 12 mini. It‘s such a nice package together. Appel should make the smaller phones a little thicker than the big ones for more battery in general.
I use mine like this when I travel. I stick it on in the morning and use it all day till it’s depleted, then put I away.
When I’m home however, i admit I’ll usually just use it as a MagSafe puck, plugged in and charging my phone all night. I feel that’s pretty bad for battery health.
They stopped selling as that may need to be clarified for customers who buy the iPhone 15PM and need two chargers if they buy the Lightning MagSafe Battery Pack! The USBC release is delayed because we are all waiting on Qi 2.0 certification, which will be the new open-source wireless standard that will include MagSafe. Apple can then sell the new MagSafe Battery Packs to Android users.
Where can I buy it??? I don’t have an Apple Store in my country and I can’t find in the online store
I picked up the MagSafe battery pack when I got my iPhone 13 mini in October 2022 and I’m still using it right now and it helps with the battery health on my iPhone 13 mini is still at 100% great product
How do you use the battery pack? Do you always attach it to the phone or only when the phone battery is low?
seems like you can get the same effect with just charging your phone correctly... I dont want to have a bulky pack on the back of my phone all day. Just charging to 80% is an option in the settings and you can always carry a powerbank and occasionally plug it in to get a few % back. That wont heat up the phone and it will be much more efficient.
I have the Sharge icemag, its similar but it has active cooling and has 10k mah. It is a bit bigger but i can use it as a normal powerbank as well so that makes it a lot more useful. It probably doesnt communicate with the phone but the cooling helps with the temperatures and i dont plan on keeping it on the phone for long.
When you learn about how it works, there is no real comparison to it.
So… how often should I use the battery pack per day? When should I use it?What is the routine you have with it in order to preserve the battery life?
So when do you use the battery pack? Do you stick it when the iPhone batt is at 100% so the phone will use the charge of the battery pack first?
The 80% limit will stop it from overcharging, but it won’t have the same trickle charge feature as the Apple one has. Also a lot of third party chargers charge at a faster speed, like 15w or 20w, versus the 7.5w of this Apple one. Yes that means it charges the phone faster, but also means more heat and damage to the battery.
When do we get the usb c version apple??
I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and the 15 series has the new 'Charge to 80% limit'. Can I do the same by just keeping my phone charged via third party power bank and having that option on? Will that stimulate the same 'trickle charging'?
Yes I believe it works, after trying it out and looking in battery settings
I’ve been saying this since they sell it! Apple needs to launch a new one and I need a case with some type of groove to prevent it slipping
When you keep your iPhone plugged into the charger all the time while using it. The battery cycle number still low right? What about the battery health??
It's great for charging airpods and it give the 15's both charging port options
I bought one MagSafe powerbank from Company where i work, made by Chinese Company on big quantity order - branded by our name. With a price tag i paid ~12$ (employe minimal price), 5000mah capacity and very strong magsafe plus USB-c with 20wats (in/out) its unbeatable! Also its made from steel, and have soft rubber MagSafe site. Only thing missing is missing communication thing. It does not heat too mutch.
As a battery engineer, I love that someone made this video and the fact that this product exists. How accurate the information is.
It doesn’t. Discontinued 4 months ago and unavailable on Apple or Amazon. Who still sells them?
@@thecouncilofstylewhat mean you it doesn’t exist? I own 8 of them. The fact that they’re not sold anymore doesn’t mean they cease to exist
@@ThiefJack They're rechargeable, why do you own 8 lmfao
@@fran2911I have 2 of them and that’s more than enough, I can’t even drain both packs in the same day
Hope they bring it back with usb c for the iPhone 15 line up.
Can I use other mag safe battery packs from different vendors?
So whats the best way to charge it. Is it ok to connect the charger cable to MBP while iPhone is attached or connect to iPhone while MBP is attached??
I got mine 6 months ago and is worth it I bought a battery cover on Amazon for 5 bucks they came in multiple colors but u settle for black so I was able to have my. Black iPhone 14 max and black case with battery 😂😂😂 and the cases are great quality my battery still loves like brand new great video .
The capacity of the power bank is actually around a double, you need to look at the voltage not just the capacity and the rated voltage I think nine-something V which is in the reality more than doubling the capacity because the capacity of an iPhone or other phones are based on 3.8 voltage rate
Exactly. You cannot compare capacity by looking at mAh when the voltages differ…
Thank You!
My 14 pro max is still on 100% battery health and I’ve had it since launch. I don’t use MagSafe to charge even though I have one.
My powerbank can do about 3 full chargers (if you really want) but it often turns off when it reaches 80% on the phone anyways so if you want to keep charging it you chave to replug it
There's a similar Anker model. Is it work same way with same benefits?
It doesn't communicate with the iphone the same way. It will heat up and will always charge to full
I bought a 14 pro max new, and I just decided to check the battery health and indeed after since March so it's been 9 months now, nearly 9 months...the battery health is actually still at 100%, but I would also consider purchasing this product maybe next year as I plan to keep the phone for 2 years, at least.
You know that they stopped selling these as they are Lightning, right? I think they might make a comeback but I really hoped that its capacity is larger. Like 5000 mah is standard, as a person who carries a 20000 man battery with me with a 5000 mah magsafe juice pack, I try to eliminate the need of a Lightning cable (I am not buying a new iPhone, Apple)
Is iPhone SE 4 likely to be released with MagSafe?
I’ve had it since release. I didn’t pay for it, it was a gift from my wife to use with the iPhone 12 mini I had at the time. It worked good for about a month without heavy use then after that its life was horrible. Wouldn’t even charge my mini iPhone 12 halfway. I still have it and have the 14 plus atm and it definitely doesn’t even give it a quarter charge. Aside from the lifespan the price is absurd. Also I’m not the only person I know with this battery pack that has had the same issues. Btw my 14 plus’s battery has worked flawlessly and lasts me about a day or 2 with pretty heavy use and lasts the entire time without a charge.
Arthur, I like your glasses, can you pleass tell me the make/model?
My 13 Pro was at 98 Percent after 11 months of use. I used only wireless charging overnight, that too an unbranded clone of apple charger. But the wireless was always powered by a 1 Ampere adapter. Plus i had. a fan attached to my wireless to prevent heating. Slow charging is the king.. 💪💪💪💪
Did you use wireless charging with a phone case?
@@muhammedyalcn6976 Yes a thick plastic case. Most of times its the charger that heats up not phone. So it helps isolate heat too
@@the_nomadic_ajith Thanks!
Hey…..late comment here.
Apple posted an update back in 2022 that bumped the speed 7.5wh; still slow comparatively, but just want to have the correct info for interested users out there. And yeah, I still use mine. It’s the only one in my tech arsenal for now. Love it
It would be nice to have it updated to having a type c port however the phone will reverse wireless charge the battery pack if you have it plugged in and it is at full battery, so if you have a 15 you can plug it in and leave the battery pack on it over night and you will wake up to them both being charged
If you plug the phone in it will do this!
it’s already doing the reverse wireless charing when you plugged the charger into your phone while the magsafe battery pack is attached
@@arveen11 You basically get a iPhone with 2 charging ports with it
Wouldn't this in theory still ruin the battery life of the phone?
@@rayoota7613 its going to trickle charge from the battery pack or the phone so there little heat, you shouldn't be too concerned about it
When you say the words collar and color, do they sound exactly the same to you?
I feel pretty good about my battery health. It’s at 90%, and i got the 13 when it came out.
Any battery pack certified by Apple can have the same benefits or this just applies for the Apple one???
What about the IWALK mini power bank?
Is that only with apple’s magsafe or could i use Ankers magsafe as well
I have an issue with the Magsafe Battery Pack since updating iOS 17. I used to be able to use the feature "Charge until 90%" back in iOS 16. Could you still do that on yours? Thanks.
Yes you can, you just have to set it on the settings, or long pressing on the “low battery” mode on the control center.
@@GabeWaldeck Yeah. Unfortunately, it's weirdly not appearing for me since updating.
Doesn’t the wireless charging technology ruins the battery earlier compared to plugging it in for charging?
Doesn't the 15 have a stop at 80 option for charging ??
And if it doesn't have the option to charge past 90 it might be fake or how do I update my BP?
So you suggest to buy a 100$ battery pack to prevent changing a 100$ battery in your iPhone?
for iphone 13 and 14 they added QI 2 Wireless charging so it can charge 15W
they don't sell it anymore.... hope they come out with a new version
People tend to drama when talking about battery degredation. Just change your battery every 2-3 years for 80 bucks. No problem. Used my iP 11 Pro Max for 4 years and changed the battery once. Never had to think about battery health. The convenience of putting it to charge over night is just the best. Now with my iP 15 Pro Max im only charging it to 80 % since that is more than I need on a daily basis. This sure helps with degredation, but people only use it when the battery life is long enough to dont mind the lost 20 %.
I mistakenly chose 15 pro instead of 15 pro max. If I limit it to 80% I'm going to charge it two to three times a day. 😢
I use the normal charger on my 14 pro max I got in Sep 22 and only charge up till 80%~ everyday. I seldom get it below 20% too. The health is at 91% now. That's still pretty fast considering how my iPhone XS went only to 90% in over 2 years.
I guess this is useful for someone who has a iPhone 14 series or below, because with my 15PM I have the 80% limit charge feature turned on and I use a belkin usb A to C cable with apples 12w brick so the phone doesn’t overcharge or overheat due to the lower 12w charge wattage and using mfi certified cables will help prolong health to the battery. So with my usage I’m getting 1 charge cycle every 2 days which should mean 95%+ battery heath by the end of next year.
I noticed the standard 20 Watt charger makes my phone hot sometimes ( usually if I charge the phone starting from around 20% ). So now I use 12 Watt Apple charger and limit the maximum charge to 80% ( iPhone 15 ).
@@bengoey were living on the same boat lol. I think the modern usb c to c cable with 20w bricks cause batteries to overheat and degrade faster, which now makes sense why people with older iPhones like the iPhone XS have 85% battery health after 3-5 yrs of use and it’s due to slower charging with usb a to lightning and the 5w brick (included in box) that causes less degradation over time.
I use the old apple 5W charger for my iWatch 16 , battery health 88% now, not bad.@@am4n223
Brooh I did the same thing with my iPhone 14+ I got the 12w charger and the belkin boost cable. Never overheats!
@@mohammadhassan5230 my guy ❤❤
to make my 13 feel like im on type c i just use a type c battery pack that also acts as a stand alone mag safe charger when plugged in
Users: “Apple battery pack is saving my iPhone battery health”.
Apple: “Destroy the battery packs”.
I thinkg Anker nano pb is better. Same 5000mah, but with built in connector and the charge speed is 12w or 2.4A if im not mistaken. No heat problem, fast charge and yet still safer for the battery. I use 2.1A charger daily whenever i want to charge, and yet still at 91% BH degradation, i bought second hand from my brother with 93% BH, so it make 2% degradation on around 1 years. Meanwhile my wife charge her new iphone with 20w charger, and hit 80% BH within 2.5 years.
which magsafe battery pack do you recommend if you cant find an Apple one?
I limited the charge capacity to 80% on my 15 pro max, thus, getting rid of the battery health issue to a higher degree. 80% is enough for the phone to last an entire day, it never dipped below 30-35%.
Do battery packs (3rd party, specifically), stop charging the battery and power the phone directly after 80%? Or do they do a 79->80>79->80 thing, which is objectively worse?
@rakshith-ravi it is not worse. They do this so that it is still charging and not just stuck on 80%. I don't know if third party ones do it though but I would avoid third party magsafe power banks as they would charge slow and generate too much heat.
how is that worse?@@rakshith-ravi
@@pedromonteiro2644 Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, there are two ways of doing things:
1. Charge battery to 80, then power phone directly through charger (case in point-magsafe) thereby not touching the battery or the charge stored in it, hence not contributing to reduced charge cycles on the battery.
2. Charge battery to 80, then power phone from battery, and keep charging it back as it drops below 80, oscillating between 79 and 80, which will eventually lead to charge cycles dropping over time.
I was wondering which one the iPhone follows
@@rakshith-ravi well it takes a long time before battery drops 1% when not in use and usually I disconnect before that happens several times, I don’t charge at night, only in morning.
7:42 isnt it already updated to 7.5W?
I think Apple should make the iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case again for the iPhone SE 3.
How do u know when the battery pack is fully charged? I can never tell lol
Apple has discontinued selling it since iPhone 15 was released. Can only buy at cell phone carrier stores: Verizon, AT&T, etc…while supplies last. 🤷♀️
Also, you can use USB-C to charge your iPhone 15 and it will reverse charge the battery pack. 😉 Pretty dope… So one plug to rule them all.
I’m 13 and I have an iPhone 13 mini. I got it because of its small size which felt like the one made for me. My battery health is around 87 now I’m planning on either changing the battery or buying a MagSafe battery pack. But I have one big question.. Won’t the battery of the battery pack degrade?
Of course it’ll degrade… it’s a battery. You still need to replace your phone’s batteries and your MagSafe battery pack after 3-4 years. This method means you might squeeze and extra year out of an old battery.
So my understanding is that if your iphone is at 100% it uses the phones battery and even if the smart battery pack is attached to the phone it doesn’t change unless it needs it ?
It won’t charge your phone unless it’s below 90%
Or you could spend $30 on a generic power bank and set the charging limit to 80% in iOS. I *really* like the Baseus MagSafe power bank with a built in USB-C dongle that can either charge your iPhone (wired at 30W with lower temperatures and less overhead than wireless) or be used to charge the bank itself. Such a clever idea, I’m surprised nobody else has copied it, I would love a slimmer 5000mAh version.
Wait, I'm pretty stupid at this shortcut thing since I just bought my 1st iPhone ever this December. How do I trigger that in Shortcut.
@@Azractor86 no shortcut needed, just go to settings->battery->battery health and charging ->charging optimization and set it to limit charge to 80%
only iPhone 15 can do that but older iPhones has optimization option which charges to 100% only when we really need it so for most people only at the morning. @@as94583
that's only for 15 series not for older models
This 80% limit is only on the iPhone 15 models, not on older iPhones unfortunately. Also it isn’t a good idea to charge at 30w even wired if you are worried about battery life, slow and steady is best for battery health. This Apple battery has nice features that the third party ones don’t have.
Wireless charging in general will mantain your battery far better than charging it by wire...
I charge my iphone 13 only by wireless charging and after more than 2 years my phone is at 92% battery. And the degradation only begun a few months ago as it stayed at 100% for the most of this time...
How many charge cycles can this pack handle without degradation or I guess I should say until it’s useless? This would play a role in whether or not it makes sense vs just replacing the phone battery after a few years.
I have had mine for 2 years and it still charges my iPhone 13 from 35% to 90%.
Personally use it with my 11 pro max and I gotta say this is good even tho Im still student i use my phone quite a lot and at the end of schools day i finish with 50-60 percent and days like weekends with 30ish percents (battery life is at 86 tho)
Why not get the phone battery replaced instead?
Can u put the msg safe on a mag case
The real question is why someone need to buy a phone for 1k+ to save baterry?if you can afford a phone for that much you can afford a baterry for 80euro
It is not 1400mAh as it has twice the amperage, so it is 2X1400=2800mAh. Obviously, as it is wireless charging, there will be greater efficiency losses than a charger.
It should be a secondary USB on the pack for direct USB to USB charging. But yeah it's Apple.
But many 3rd party power bank already have it, with much lower price for the same capacity

I was wandering, if you reduce battery cycles of your iPhone, what about the cycles of the battery pack, does the battery of the battery pack degradate and how long does it take until it needs to be replaced?
I almost got one for my 14 pro because my battery too was garbage. I would charge at least 2x per day. But the MagSafe battery is 99 USD so I never did. But I did upgrade to the 15 pro max and holy shit my phone lasts from 350am to 930pm with at least 20% left. Never have battery anxiety if I start with 100%.
How much do you use your phone?? My 14 pro gets me home with 70% or more with 3 hours SOT
@@ballooneyjr4294 nothing crazy. At work I would have it playing podcasts and CZcams in the background.
Maybe when the usb c version comes out. But no way wie lightning
It’s about time they make a 2nd gen version that charges at 15w and has a larger capacity.
Now we just need one with usb c
anker
Oh my. Same with my 13 Pro it stucks in 87% for more than a year and easily loosen the battery health
Charging to 90% is still an issue. You shouldn't let it go above 80%. Also the excess heat any kind of wireless charging generates damages your battery
