The new Apple iPhone 12 series comes with support for MagSafe, a proprietary magnetic charging and mounting solution. Therefore, apart from charging, this tech can also be used for accessories like cases, wallets, and sleeves. The Cupertino-based tech giant is even reported to release a battery pack with this implementation. But ahead of that, Anker has already launched its own product called PowerCore Magnetic 5K Wireless Power Bank in the US.
The Anker PowerCore Magnetic 5K Wireless
Power Bank is unlike any other battery pack by the brand. It is the company’s
first MagSafe Power Bank. Hence, it ‘just clicks’ to the back of iPhone 12
Mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max respectively.
As the name suggests, this battery pack
features a 5,000mAh cell. But unfortunately, it only supports 5W MagSafe wireless
charging. Also, interestingly, the single USB Type-C port present in it also
only supports up to 10W output and 11W input. On the bright side, this Anker
MagSafe power bank is compatible with MagSafe cases. Hence, users can attach it
to any iPhone 12 series device with or without a case.
The battery pack is available in a single
black color option, and sports LED indicators as well as a physical key. It
measures 92.9 x 62.5 x 16mm in dimensions, weighs 131.5g, and ships with a USB
Type-C to Type-C cable. The Anker PowerCore Magnetic 5K Wireless Power Bank is
priced at US$ 39.99 and comes with an 18-month warranty.
