Three great MagSafe battery bank options for your iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and more

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-20 14:47:12

With iPhone Air, Apple reintroduced the MagSafe battery pack. It’s $99, and optimized specifically for iPhone Air. It’s rather slim, though it’s rather weak in capacity – making Qi2 alternatives all the more interesting. We’ll be delving into the top options on the market, just in case you want a MagSafe battery for your iPhone without spending $99, or aren’t buying the iPhone Air. Since Apple opened up the MagSafe standard as Qi2 last year, third parties have been able to make MagSafe chargers

As is tradition, iFixit has kicked off its teardown season for the devices and accessories unveiled during Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event earlier this month.

Just ahead of the iPhone 17 lineup arriving on Friday, you can pick up Apple's 25W MagSafe charger for a song. The two-meter version of the more powerful charging cable has dropped by 29 percent from $49 to $35 . That's a record-low price. As it happens, that actually makes the two-meter version of the cable less expensive than the one-meter variant. The shorter cable will run you $39 as things stand. If you have an iPhone 16, iPhone 17 or iPhone Air, this cable can charge your device at 25W a

What’s the Best iPhone to Buy or Avoid Right Now? (2025)

What's New in iOS 26? Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Wait, what happened to iOS 19? If you're confused as to how we got to iOS 26 when the last version was iOS 18, don't worry: You didn't miss anything. Apple decided to change the naming structure for all of its operating systems to 26 this year to reflect 2026. It's kind of like new car models. The highlight in iOS 26 is the design: Liquid Glass. It's divisive, but there are ways to tone down the glassy look. The most practical and useful feat

This key iPhone 17 Pro rumor didn’t come to fruition, but there’s a good reason for it

With iPhone 17 Pro, there was one major rumor that a lot of Apple fans were looking forward to this year: reverse wireless charging. After all, with the new glass window with a centered Apple logo – it looked like a perfect opportunity for this new feature. Our batteries are also larger than ever. Yet, the Apple Event came and went – and there was no reverse wireless charging. While this is certainly disappointing, there’s a good reason for it not arriving, and I’ll delve into that.

Apple’s new MagSafe Battery doesn’t just work with iPhone Air

As rumored, Apple brought back its MagSafe Battery, but the only iPhone it works with is the new iPhone Air. However, Apple says it does have another feature that could come in handy. The new iPhone Air MagSafe Battery is meant to extend its battery life by 65%, which Apple says amounts to longer than any other iPhone.

Review: Anker’s new MagSafe battery bank truly delivers in its ultra-slim package

Earlier this summer, Anker announced a trio of new products – one of them being an incredibly thin MagSafe/Qi2 battery for iPhones, and now even Google Pixel 10. I’ve spent my fair share of time with it, and the new Anker Nano Power Bank is honestly everything you’d want out of a MagSafe battery bank. With Apple no longer making their own MagSafe batteries, and the upcoming iPhone 17 Air having relatively weak battery life – this could be a great purchase to make ahead of Apple’s ‘Awe dropping’

When I was younger and I was involved in reverse engineering communities and systems programming, there was this concept called bit flags. They were a standard way of storing a pack of true or false values in ... actually a single value - a function parameter, local variable or entry in some configuration. I found nothing fascinating about that back then and just used it on a regular basis, as every other engineer was. Long time after that and after shifting my focus to web development I just r
