Apple Revives MagSafe Battery Pack Exclusive to iPhone Air

The tailored pack offsets the Air’s reduced internal capacity through a slim, tall fit that sacrifices cross‑line compatibility.

Overview

  • Apple lists the accessory as iPhone Air–only, with a design shaped specifically for the ultra‑thin model.
  • Apple claims the pack adds up to 65 percent additional charge to iPhone Air.
  • The tall profile collides with the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro camera bump, preventing proper magnetic alignment and secure attachment.
  • The pack includes a USB‑C port for cabled charging of other USB‑C devices, and reports note up to 12W wireless charging when attached to iPhone Air.
  • The product is available on Apple’s website, with outlets reporting differing prices between $99 and $139, underscoring early listing discrepancies and a shift toward single‑model accessories.
