Is the MagSafe Battery Pack Worth It?

Or does it simply reveal the inherent flaw with MagSafe?

Remember AirTags?

I’ve found a use for mine, but I have a distinct suspicion that Apple has forgotten about them.

The AirTag is such a strange little product for Apple. They feel like the most ‘me too’ device the company has launched in recent memory. I don’t think we’ll ever see an AirTag 2; in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they quietly slip from the shelves altogether at some point in the future.

AirTags Are Barely Worth Reviewing

There’s nothing wrong with AirTags. But, then, there’s nothing really wrong with the MagSafe Battery Pack, either. It does the job intended and looks pretty nice, to boot.

However, like its coin-sized tracking device cousin, Apple’s latest MagSafe accessory for the iPhone 12 is simply an incredibly odd product.

It’s not a charger

I’ve bought a few power banks in my time.

I’ve lost all of them.
