With iPhone Air, Apple reintroduced the MagSafe battery pack. It\u2019s $99, and optimized specifically for iPhone Air. It\u2019s rather slim, though it\u2019s rather weak in capacity \u2013 making Qi2 alternatives all the more interesting. We\u2019ll be delving into the top options on the market, just in case you want a higher capacity MagSafe battery for your iPhone, or aren\u2019t buying the iPhone Air.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since Apple opened up the MagSafe standard as Qi2, third parties have been able to make MagSafe chargers with support for 15W of charging. Prior to that, third parties only offered 7.5W with the initial Qi standard.<\/p>\n

Another interesting fact: Apple\u2019s iPhone Air MagSafe battery only supports up to 12W of charging, despite the iPhone Air supporting up to 20W of charging with MagSafe. That actually means third-party options are stronger in the charging speed department. We\u2019ll be delving into those.<\/p>\n

Anker<\/h2>\n

First things first is the Anker Nano Power Bank. This one is the mid-range option on the list, but it comes first because I\u2019ve had tons of hands on time with it and can speak with first-hand experience with how thin it is, as well as how premium it feels. The form factor is rather remarkable, and likely serves as the closest alternative to Apple\u2019s MagSafe battery. Read my full review here.<\/p>\n

It charges your devices at 15W thanks to Qi2, offers 5000mAh of capacity, and runs cooler than the competition. You can pick one up in black or white for $54.99 on Amazon.<\/p>\n

Baseus<\/h2>\n

While I haven\u2019t personally spent time with this battery bank, I have spent enough time with other Baseus products to know that this will likely be a good option. It\u2019s the cheapest option on this list, coming in at just $24.99 currently. It\u2019s similarly thin to the Anker one, while offering 5000mAh of capacity.<\/p>\n

Main caveat here is the fact that this power bank doesn\u2019t support Qi2, so you\u2019ll be limited to 7.5W of charging speed. That could be rather annoying if…<\/p>\n
