Apple finally launches the iPhone 12's MagSafe Battery Pack

Nine months after the release of the iPhone 12, Apple is finally ready to release the MagSafe Battery Pack. Before this, we've only had MagSafe charging pads and stands. But now, Apple users get an on-the-go option. It attaches magnetically to the back of your iPhone, and you can charge it ahead of time. It's compatible with the iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max.

According to Apple, you can use at least a 15W USB-C power adapter and Lightning cable to charge the battery pack and iPhone simultaneously. The charging status is viewable on the iPhone's lock screen. In typical Apple fashion, you need to buy the power adapter and cable separately. The MagSafe Battery Pack retails for CAD 119, and it's expected to start shipping on July 19.
