The point of the apple battery pack is to use it on your phone while your phone is fully charged because it will keep it around 80-90 percent while the battery pack is getting lower . I use mine everyday and can last a full day with the apple batterypack and my iphone 14 promax battery until bed time and im a heavy user on my phone
Thanks! Curious if Anker introduces a Qi2 version of the 5000 power bank with the kickstand. It’s perfect for your pocket on a long plane flight or when you’re travelling and just need a little boost to get through the day.
To be honest, the 10K powerbank hardly hold 10,000 mAh, so a 5K one would probably not even charge your phone halfway. So you'd better carry a 10K around, it is not much bigger.
@@NegyedMisi yeah, I will agree it doesn't seem to get my back up to charge very quickly. I'd say practically speaking it gives my about 50% extra battery life if I through it on while I'm out and about. The pro is that it's small and there aren't any cables, but a 10k would definitely pack more punch if you can handle the extra size. The new Qi2 chargers look promising too, but they're also bigger so far.
Just want to say I appreciate your channel. You have helped me a lot into slowly building my own studio, still have a lot of work to do but it’s getting there slowly.
I'll hold on upgrading my Baseus 10k magsafe one for now (Same features as this one plus more, much better price). At least until a battery pack that can charge itself via magsafe (like the otterbox one) and has a 60w output on the USB port comes out.
I am waiting for Moft to come out with their Qi2 battery packs as I like how thin and lightweight the current ones are and how you can attach a Moft wallet stand to the back of the battery pack, which is great when you are on the road.
I got the old Anker pack when I had a 13 Pro so I could pack that instead of a lightning cable when I was traveling, but I haven’t used it since I got the 15 Pro and can just charge with USB-C. I also really didn’t like how hot it got. I think I’ll probably get a regular non-magsafe battery pack that can charge all my devices, I’d rather top up my phone for 15 minutes over cable and then use it as normal instead of having a brick magnetically attached all day.
I was looking forward to this video, and it didn't disappoint! I've been rocking the gigantic Anker Prime bank, but the Qi 2 protocol and MagSafe connectivity make this way more convenient.
The second video from your channel that pops into my feed, I really like your videos, They are great! Didn't realize this Qi2 was coming, bought a Magsafe Battery that's not so good on iPhone 14 pro.
I love these MagSafe chargers. I keep one in my truck on the go. Grab it on the way out snap it on and top off the battery while your walking around. I scooped two of these and yes it charges way faster than the original. Just wish they would have put two USB-C ports on it. That would have been nice to do pass through charging to your phone and one other device that needs to use a cable.
I would really love a super slim battery, just enough to meet the camera bump on a 15 Pro. Even as low as 1000mAh would be fine. I just need a little extra boost sometimes, I don't need to add several hours.
I can't wait for the Apple USB-C MagSafe Battery Pack. The lack of data communication between the pack and iPhone is discouraging. I was hoping with Qi2 that would not be the case. I also wonder if the reason it may have stopped was that it hit the maximum, like the original Apple Battery pack. Thoughts? Lastly that is a big boy. 🤣
I suspect Apple kept that feature for their MagSafe Packs as it is software-related, and iOS controls it. Qi 2.0 was more for Android than iPhones. It is superior to Qi, and Apple owns the patents to that magnetic coil. Making it open source but holding back the tricks like communicating with the iPhone for a battery widget and to stop charging at 90%.
Great video as usual, Stephen! Quick note, at 7:25 are you still talking about the OG Apple Magsafe Battery Pack? You mention it having 5k mAh, though afaik it got 1460. Thanks for your content!
5:20 this is because apple’s battery pack, instead of charging the phone it would be used as a battery itself. So the phone would use the power of the battery pack instead of the internal one, it was a battery extender rather than a portable charger. The original battery pack was more intented to be used when the phone was topped, so instead of using internal battery, use the external one, and you could get around 3 hours of use without dropping the phone’s battery.
Thats why the charging speed is so low and also why the battery size is small, it isnt meant to charge your phone really, its real purpose is for you to use your phone without using much the internal battery and rather use an external one.
I purchased a battery MagSafe pack and it has all of the features you state, except it doesn’t say Qi2. I love it but I will return it and get a Qi2 instead.
Xiaomi is also going to release there first MagSafe Qi2 wireless charger especially for iPhone users in mainland, China. I am going to give it a try. The price is only 219 yuan(about 30.44 dollars).
@@alianstours Yes I did. I’m pretty satisfied so far, the only shortcoming is probably the weight. It’s kinda bulky but I need the big capacity for travel.
Maybe i should wait until chee 3 comes out. They too bulky and its a long term charge. Thank you for yhe video! I think is better to buy this only if you are in a long trip or so. But i rather stick to not a wireless charger. Rather keep my usb-c power banks that charge faster via usb. And last longer. But this is why we have options thank you 🙏
I see that the weather forecast on your iPhone was from Thonotosassa, FL, but your screenshots were from Multnomah Falls and maybe the Columbia River Gorge here in Oregon, were you up here visiting? 😊
I’ve been wanting the Apple one because of its size but eBay is filled with knock offs so it’s hard to tell which are real. This is cool but idk about the thickness. Might wait for Belkin’s 5k and see how thick it is.
They're coming very soon! Anker in the next couple weeks: www.anker.com/products/a25m3-maggo-qi2-wireless-charging-station-magsafe-compatible?variant=43028936032406&ref=maggo-magsafe-compatible-wireless-charger Belkin in February: www.belkin.com/convertible-magnetic-wireless-charging-stand-with-qi2-15w/P-WIA008.html
When it's charging your phone, the time on screen is actually "how much longer the batter can charge at this rate," not how long it will take to finish charging the iPhone. It's a little weird. When you're just charging the battery, the time on screen is how long until the battery completely charges.
FYI, Qi2 by itself supports reverse charging in the same way Qi1 does, the device can simply switch between providing or absorbing charge. However the iPhone will refuse to do this for anything except their own powerbank (despite being clearly capable of it), so third party manufacturers have decided to not bother supporting it either. Similarly, Qi2 IIRC can transmit the power conditions of the charger, but again, Apple refuses to implement this feature for third parties.
IS this case ok? AOGUERBE Magnetic Power Bank, 10000mAh Foldable Wireless Portable Charger with USB-C Cable LED Display, Mag-Safe Battery Pack 22.5W PD Fast Charging for iPhone
Just ordered mine today; delivering tomorrow :-) I have the Anker Prime (Big boy charger) in my EDC for backup charging for all my devices, but this is great to add to my bag specifically for my phone/airpods. Excited! Glad you had a good review on it, made me feel like I made the right decision.
This looks great! I also have the Apple MagSafe battery pack and I love it. But I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, would this still be compatible with it for qi2 charging? I know you mentioned the 13.

Hey Stephen. As always, great video with all the essential details. On a different note, I see that the iPhone 15 Pro battery capacity is 3,274mAh, which should ideally get 3 full charges with 10000mAh pack. But the product page says this: “With a powerful 10,000mAh, secure 1.8 charges for your iPhone 15 Pro” I’m just wondering why is it so?🤔Any thoughts?
Charging losses. Every battery loses energy in discharging, and every battery loses energy when charging, so both put together stacks the losses up. It’s even worse for a wireless charger too, so if you want to be efficient you should wire charge instead of using the Qi2 pad.
1. Various Charging speeds cause waste in conversion. (Wh)*1000/(V) =(mAh). Is the equation for battery mah, there is one variable to pay attention to as it will change. That is V or Volts. When charging the wattage ( ex 20 w or 15 w for this bank ) W = Volts times A or W=VA. Amps are more dangerous than volts so when we increase charging speed its volts that go up. Examples: 20W is like 10V and 2A, 5 is 7.5V and 2a ect ect. 2. The converting of the batteries volts into your phones preferred volts is a second power loss. Its often cheaper to make a battery bank that stores its energy at a lower voltage than phones, some devices like an anker 737 have higher voltage batteries as they are intended for use for fast charging devices like laptops ( M1 pro 140ws for example ). 3. Heat is energy, that energy comes from the charge of the battery so some charging even from your wall is not 100% efficient. 4. The energy or watts must travel from your battery bank into the "air" with wireless or a cable with another type of charging which is travel which will cause some type of loss. All battery bank manufacturers list like 10k mah when its actually 60 to 70% of that which your phone will receive in ideal charging conditions. They do this since no one else will be more honest by actually stating how much they expect to be available to the charging device. This would make all there batteries look like they charge less but are for the same price as competitors. www.electricaltechnology.org/2022/01/sizing-battery-calculator.html
Tests show that efficiency is about 75% on the Apple MagSafe charger, so 1000mAh will only translate to 7500mAh if it was Apple. I assume that the Anker is
Hi !! Great videos. I have learned a lot and have been waiting for Qi2 external batteries to become available for quite a while. Here is my situation - I hope that it makes sense to you. For the past 10 years I have always used an external battery case that is both a fully protective case as well as an extra source of power for my iPhone. I am hoping that I will eventually be able to find a case that will provide my phone with protection - the additional reserve power - and also be completely (magnetic) cable free when it needs to be charged. Side Point: I will be upgrading to an iPhone 15 Pro Max once I find the system that meets my specifications. I would like to charge my iPhone at home and in my car using two separate magnetic charging stations. One at home that will be by my bed that will charge both the iPhone and the battery case at the same time. Similarly, I would have a separate magnetic charging station in my car that would either draw power from a 12 volt cigarette lighter plug or a USB port. The whole point of my requirements is that I am tired of mini plug ports in my battery case that literally wear out within the first six months due to constant plugging and unplugging the cable. The battery case may still be good, but the mini plug port on the case is worn out and does not make a solid connection. I just want to keep my iPhone safe and protected in an external battery case that has a decent amount of extra power - while at the same time being able to charge both without having to plug in a mini plug or USB C cable. I would really prefer to stay away from the kind of external battery banks that you have been describing. While they admittedly do provide the kind of power and magnetic method of connecting that I am seeking - they are on the bulky side and I like keeping my phone in its charging case and I my pocket. I realize that this is not what you were talking about in your most informative video, but I can see that you have the very same passion for these issues as I have. If the technology that I have suggested does not yet exist, I am hopeful that it may in the not too distant future. Any suggestive help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You !!! Best Regards Michael
Hey Michael, it sounds like you’d prefer a battery case like Apple used to make, but I don’t know of any current solutions like that even from third party makers. Sorry about that!
While you mentioned that it doesn't get as hot as previous wireless power banks, how does the heat compare to the heat generated by the Apple's battery pack?
When you said the apple magsafe battery pack maintains the same percent when you use it at 5:09. It had me wondering if you charge both your phone and the magsafe battery pack up to 100%. Then leave the battery pack on your phone all day, how much would it help your phone as you use it through out the day? Can you test and see how much battery you would have left at the end of the day with this method? I would try myself but haven't purchased one but would for sure buy one if that method works.
I know that's how some people use it and would certainly extend the life of the phone more than putting it on when it's close to dying. I'll try to test soon and include in my follow-up with more Qi2 battery packs!
I use mine by charging my phone to 90% and then slapping on the Apple MagSafe Battery pack. It gets me through the day with 4-5 hours of SOT without using the phone battery. My tests show that combined with the 90% limit, it increases the phone's battery health by about 2X. So, instead of 500 cycles to 80% battery health, it gets under 1000 cycles (estimated). Testing for two years on my iPhone 13PM with 180 complete cycles and 96.5% battery health
Another question I wanted to ask, if I want to use the cord and NOT the mag safe option if I still have the battery against the back of the phone for ease of placement/easy to carry in my pocket but I don’t want to charge it wirelessly and want to charge it wired. Will the mag safe/wireless option switch off.
There's no manual option for this, and you can't *really* tell if the MagSafe is "off," but I believe it defaults to the wired charging when plugged in.
I’ve been using the Anker 633 maggo 10,000mha battery pack for about 1/2 a year now and it’s great. It’s a very similar design to this new qi2 one how it has a secondary usb type A port that I use all the time. Does the new qi 2 version have that? And can you do a comparison video given it’s basically a direct successor to the anker 633?
I have a galaxy s20fe, that can do 15w wireless charging over samsung's new Wireless Duo charger. The majority of wireless chargers I've seen only charge my s20fe up to 10w, not the advertized 15w on apple made for magsafe chargers. If this charges an android phone at 15w, I'm all for buying this.
I’m confused. You said I can charge both the battery pack and the phone at the same time, then a minute later said I can’t charge both at the same time. Huh???
Sorry that was a little confusing. If you connect the battery to power with a USB-C cable, and the battery is attached to the iPhone, it will charge both. BUT if you connect your iPhone to power with a USB cable, it *will not* send a charge over to the battery pack. Basically: No reverse wireless charging from phone to battery. This is unlike Apple's MagSafe Battery pack where you could plug in your iPhone to power and it would charge the phone fully, then move to charging the battery, without the battery being physically connected to a cable.
@@beardfm Thank you. That did clarify it. I understood what you meant by not allowing the charging of both when plugged into iPhone, but you made it sound like you were talking about the same kind of connection. Plugging into the battery, and charging both.
@@TimpossibleOneyes this is also the reason many people where upset that you cant charge your airpods for example because as that battery pack proves they are capable to do that
The confusing part was he said “you can actually plug a lightning cable into this” referring to the Apple battery pack but he actually meant you can plug into the iPhone and it will reverse charge. Personally I don’t think it matters where the cable is plugged in as long as there’s a way to charge both at the same time
We really need a battery pack that is magnetic on both sides. 1 side for charging to the phone and 1 side to attach another accessory like an ssd attachment. I dont understand why this isn't a focus for the manufacturers considering the iphone 15 pro use cases.
I heard that Apple was going to have that feature, but that was about six months ago and I have not heard anything since, so that may not have been practical.
I have tested one from ugreen and the from Baseus with my iPhone pro max. And every time the phone got very warm. Don’t think that is good for the battery
Comparing it to the old models with 7.5w regarding charging time and maybe charging capacity (how many times can you charge your phone) because efficiency is supposed to improve as well! This would be awesome want to buy one right away!

Came here to say this. People still don’t understand how to correctly use the Apple Magsafe Battery Pack years later. It’s a battery extender.

Wow, I just bought the old version and on second look the price dropped significantly. This looks much better.
The MagSafe ring animation means the charger is MFI certified since it does an NFC handshake. But I know knockoffs have been able to as well.
i was really hoping for battery percentage communication, everything else looks great
Same! Especially since Apple chose to discontinue the only battery that could do it...
But it IS nice to have this info on the side.
The Qi 1 that you have is a older version, Anker relesed a v2 611 that doesn't get too hot

Hey Stephen. As always, great video with all the essential details.
On a different note, I see that the iPhone 15 Pro battery capacity is 3,274mAh, which should ideally get 3 full charges with 10000mAh pack. But the product page says this:

When charging the wattage ( ex 20 w or 15 w for this bank ) W = Volts times A or W=VA. Amps are more dangerous than volts so when we increase charging speed its volts that go up. Examples: 20W is like 10V and 2A, 5 is 7.5V and 2a ect ect.
2. The converting of the batteries volts into your phones preferred volts is a second power loss.
Its often cheaper to make a battery bank that stores its energy at a lower voltage than phones, some devices like an anker 737 have higher voltage batteries as they are intended for use for fast charging devices like laptops ( M1 pro 140ws for example ).
3. Heat is energy, that energy comes from the charge of the battery so some charging even from your wall is not 100% efficient.
4. The energy or watts must travel from your battery bank into the "air" with wireless or a cable with another type of charging which is travel which will cause some type of loss.
All battery bank manufacturers list like 10k mah when its actually 60 to 70% of that which your phone will receive in ideal charging conditions. They do this since no one else will be more honest by actually stating how much they expect to be available to the charging device. This would make all there batteries look like they charge less but are for the same price as competitors.

Tests show that efficiency is about 75% on the Apple MagSafe charger, so 1000mAh will only translate to 7500mAh if it was Apple. I assume that the Anker is
Hi !! Great videos. I have learned a lot and have been waiting for Qi2 external batteries to become available for quite a while.
Here is my situation - I hope that it makes sense to you. For the past 10 years I have always used an external battery case that is both a fully protective case as well as an extra source of power for my iPhone.
I am hoping that I will eventually be able to find a case that will provide my phone with protection - the additional reserve power - and also be completely (magnetic) cable free when it needs to be charged.
Side Point: I will be upgrading to an iPhone 15 Pro Max once I find the system that meets my specifications.
I would like to charge my iPhone at home and in my car using two separate magnetic charging stations. One at home that will be by my bed that will charge both the iPhone and the battery case at the same time. Similarly, I would have a separate magnetic charging station in my car that would either draw power from a 12 volt cigarette lighter plug or a USB port.
The whole point of my requirements is that I am tired of mini plug ports in my battery case that literally wear out within the first six months due to constant plugging and unplugging the cable. The battery case may still be good, but the mini plug port on the case is worn out and does not make a solid connection.
I just want to keep my iPhone safe and protected in an external battery case that has a decent amount of extra power - while at the same time being able to charge both without having to plug in a mini plug or USB C cable. I would really prefer to stay away from the kind of external battery banks that you have been describing. While they admittedly do provide the kind of power and magnetic method of connecting that I am seeking - they are on the bulky side and I like keeping my phone in its charging case and I my pocket.
I realize that this is not what you were talking about in your most informative video, but I can see that you have the very same passion for these issues as I have. If the technology that I have suggested does not yet exist, I am hopeful that it may in the not too distant future.
Any suggestive help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You !!!
Best Regards
Michael
Hey Michael, it sounds like you’d prefer a battery case like Apple used to make, but I don’t know of any current solutions like that even from third party makers. Sorry about that!
Hey Stephen. Thank you for your input. I get it sorted out soon. The tech just hasn't caught up with my needs. @@beardfm
While you mentioned that it doesn't get as hot as previous wireless power banks, how does the heat compare to the heat generated by the Apple's battery pack?
Apple’s still gets the least hot. Also due to the slower speed of charging
Thank you! I guess I know what I'll be sticking to for now.
I have seen a test for Apple vs. rival Qi 2, and the Apple one is 2-3c less.
When you said the apple magsafe battery pack maintains the same percent when you use it at 5:09. It had me wondering if you charge both your phone and the magsafe battery pack up to 100%. Then leave the battery pack on your phone all day, how much would it help your phone as you use it through out the day? Can you test and see how much battery you would have left at the end of the day with this method? I would try myself but haven't purchased one but would for sure buy one if that method works.
I know that's how some people use it and would certainly extend the life of the phone more than putting it on when it's close to dying. I'll try to test soon and include in my follow-up with more Qi2 battery packs!
I use mine by charging my phone to 90% and then slapping on the Apple MagSafe Battery pack. It gets me through the day with 4-5 hours of SOT without using the phone battery. My tests show that combined with the 90% limit, it increases the phone's battery health by about 2X. So, instead of 500 cycles to 80% battery health, it gets under 1000 cycles (estimated). Testing for two years on my iPhone 13PM with 180 complete cycles and 96.5% battery health
Is this Qi2 safe when carry in flight travel ?
Another question I wanted to ask, if I want to use the cord and NOT the mag safe option if I still have the battery against the back of the phone for ease of placement/easy to carry in my pocket but I don’t want to charge it wirelessly and want to charge it wired. Will the mag safe/wireless option switch off.
There's no manual option for this, and you can't *really* tell if the MagSafe is "off," but I believe it defaults to the wired charging when plugged in.
I’ve been using the Anker 633 maggo 10,000mha battery pack for about 1/2 a year now and it’s great. It’s a very similar design to this new qi2 one how it has a secondary usb type A port that I use all the time. Does the new qi 2 version have that? And can you do a comparison video given it’s basically a direct successor to the anker 633?
Hey! I don't have a 633 on hand, but there is only 1 USB-C port for charging via cable to external devices.
what shall I use with my Xiaomi 12 pro? ut has 40w wireless charging
Nice. I have so many battery packs. On my wishlist for maybe one more :)
It'll be the best one 😉
You can use wireless charge and cable to charge the phone at the same time?
Yes you can!
@@beardfm that will double to speed right?
Where is there a 20,000mAh battery pack? I looked on Belkin's website but it seems that there will only be 5k, 8k, and 10k mAh battery packs with Qi2.
Yeah, 20K would be BIG. Not sure we will see that!
Does it have a firmware and report itself in the Settings>General>About menu on iPhone like MagSafe chargers do?
It does not, just double checked!
@@beardfm Thanks for checking. Excellent video. Subscribed!
I am confused do the power bank have to be 100% fully charged to place on the iPhone to charge it?
Not at all! It will charge with whatever percentage it has left.
@@beardfm Oh ok, thank you.
How does the plug on the side of the BATTERY charge YOUR PHONE at 27w? How’s THAT work? Kinda confusing.
If the battery is fully charged, you plus a USB-C cable from the battery to your iPhone (not charging wirelessly)
@@beardfm 27 wired…got it. Cool perfect. Does it monitor heat with qi2?
Work on android also ?
Do you know if there's still charges at fifteen watts for the stwenty four ultra?
Sorry, unsure about the S24!
Is there anything that Qi2 can do that MagSafe cannot do for iOS devices?
I believe you meant to say...."it charged at a glacial pace."
What case is that? I can't seem to find any similar ones online
Keyway! I review here: ua-cam.com/video/IUzFyIukd4M/v-deo.htmlsi=peS2otuYE110vZ9H
I have a galaxy s20fe, that can do 15w wireless charging over samsung's new Wireless Duo charger. The majority of wireless chargers I've seen only charge my s20fe up to 10w, not the advertized 15w on apple made for magsafe chargers.
If this charges an android phone at 15w, I'm all for buying this.
Have you tried it with any of the samsung phones?
I don’t see this product in anker store in Italy
I'm a new sub :3 and I leave if I'm bored... dynamic subscriber les gooo XD so far so good stephen
Appreciate it!
Which is one is best anker 633 or mag go ??
This one: amzn.to/3TSYscT
Smart charging. Do they all do it?
Wouldn't the radiant heat this produces ruin the phones battery over time.
If you used it every day your battery health would decrease a little faster. But periodic use is fine
I wish anker made a 5000 qi2, and made the pack a little less tall (so it didn't hang off the bottom of the phone)
Can't find this on the UK version of the Anker store. Anyone know why?
I don't think it's been released internationally just yet.
i dont understand, you said you cant charge both at the same time. yet it charges while charging phone
Unlike the MagSafe made by Apple, you cannot charge the phone or the Anker. You can charge the Anker and charge the phone together.
and it is this battery pack certified by apple?
Qi2 is certified by Apple which is what the battery pack uses, so, yes?
Qi 2 is an industry standard now so Apple will have software to ensure it behaves.
when you are charging your phone there is a sign on che screen like a arrow when you tap the button it change like it flashing what is that ?!
sorry when you tap the button twice it flashing
please make video on anker 322 mag go
Does standbye mode works during Qi2 Charging?
It does! I show it in the video
I’ve got a magnet for my phone on my phone. Anyone know how to get around that ?
can i turn off the power bank in case i don't use it yet? I just want to use a stand. thank you!
Unfortunately not, it will charge as soon and whenever it's connected.
😢what about the 12 mini? I was waiting for this
Does it work with the phone cover on???
As long as the case is MagSafe compatible, yes!
I’m confused. You said I can charge both the battery pack and the phone at the same time, then a minute later said I can’t charge both at the same time. Huh???
Sorry that was a little confusing. If you connect the battery to power with a USB-C cable, and the battery is attached to the iPhone, it will charge both. BUT if you connect your iPhone to power with a USB cable, it *will not* send a charge over to the battery pack. Basically: No reverse wireless charging from phone to battery. This is unlike Apple's MagSafe Battery pack where you could plug in your iPhone to power and it would charge the phone fully, then move to charging the battery, without the battery being physically connected to a cable.
@@beardfm Thank you. That did clarify it. I understood what you meant by not allowing the charging of both when plugged into iPhone, but you made it sound like you were talking about the same kind of connection. Plugging into the battery, and charging both.
@@beardfmare you saying that the iPhone will reverse wirelessly charge ONLY for their magsafe battery?
I did not know that. Thx
@@TimpossibleOneyes this is also the reason many people where upset that you cant charge your airpods for example because as that battery pack proves they are capable to do that
The confusing part was he said “you can actually plug a lightning cable into this” referring to the Apple battery pack but he actually meant you can plug into the iPhone and it will reverse charge.
Personally I don’t think it matters where the cable is plugged in as long as there’s a way to charge both at the same time
We really need a battery pack that is magnetic on both sides. 1 side for charging to the phone and 1 side to attach another accessory like an ssd attachment. I dont understand why this isn't a focus for the manufacturers considering the iphone 15 pro use cases.
That would be ideal! And to charge the battery via MagSafe itself
Add a cheap MagSafe ring
I heard that Apple was going to have that feature, but that was about six months ago and I have not heard anything since, so that may not have been practical.

Screw the screen. Add NFC and BLE for pairing and advanced battery monitoring.
Anker’s other power banks like the Prime series have Bluetooth and it’s pretty nice
I appreciate your review, I'm glad I waited until Qi2 before I decide on a wireless battery pack :)
I have tested one from ugreen and the from Baseus with my iPhone pro max. And every time the phone got very warm. Don’t think that is good for the battery
Great Review but we Need more accurate data for Charging Speed!
What’s a good test? Get down to 20% attach battery and leave alone?
Comparing it to the old models with 7.5w regarding charging time and maybe charging capacity (how many times can you charge your phone) because efficiency is supposed to improve as well! This would be awesome want to buy one right away!
I have seen a test, and it looks like Qi 2 is as fast as MagSafe. Very little difference, as you would expect, as they both max out at 15 watts.
Can’t agree because heat is trapped and it has to reduce max watt
Appreciated this
Does this degrade the overall health of the battery more so than wired charging?
If you use it every day you may find battery health decrease faster over time, but it won't be a significant drain if you only use it occasionally.
Great video
Thanks!
Way cheaper and efficient to buy regular power bank and just use that. Not to mention the phone won’t get so hot
Does this fit the iPhone 15 pro??
It does! works all the way back to the iPhone 12
@@beardfm thank you for the info! I was going to go buy one today!
Any word on Android phones coming with qi2 or "magsafe" compatibility?
Pixel 8 Pro doesn't have Qi2, but Samsung has their event this week and we may hear something about the new S24
Nothing for the S24 line, and I suspect Chinese OEMs will be the first to adopt Qi 2. Pixel 9 is rumoured to get it.
