Xiaomi launches a new accessory for Apple iPhones in China. The product is a wireless power bank as well as a wireless charger. It is officially called Xiaomi Magnetic Wireless Power Bank and it costs only ¥ 199 (US$ 29). The latest Xiaomi accessory is designed for iPhone 13 and iPhone 12. The iPhone 14 also has near-identical dimensions to its predecessors. We do not know why the accessory is not compatible with the 2022 iPhone.
It should ideally work, however, we cannot
tell for sure as Xiaomi doesn’t mention the support anywhere on its website.
The product has no shipping date yet. Hence, we will have to wait for buyers to
use it with iPhone 14. Talking about features, as mentioned earlier, the
accessory is both a magnetic wireless power bank and a wireless charger. The
power bank and the charger are modular. Therefore, they can come apart.
Customers need to buy a USB Type-C adapter separately.
The airline-safe power bank has a 5,000mAh
capacity. It can magnetically attach to iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to charge
automatically without pressing the included button. It sports a USB Type-C port
for both 20W input and 12W output. There’s also a pogo pin, which is required
for the connection between the wireless charging stand. The latter has an
attached USB Type-C, which needs to be plugged into an adapter for charging.
The product only comes in a single white
color option. Like most Xiaomi accessories, it will likely remain exclusive to
China.
