It looks like it doubles up as a (proper, 15W) magsafe charger with the appropriate usb-c lightning cable. as travel begins to open up, I'm seriously considering this one!

If it's out next Tuesday and needs 14.7 to work I guess that also means we're due to see 14.7 in the next seven days...
It can’t even charge the iPhone pro max half the mah is so small
How much of that tiny 1460mAh do you want to waste with faster charging?
not compatible with iPhone SE 2020? Why not, its wireless charging too
It does not have the MagSafe system. (It does not have magnets inside the phone for wireless charging)
Considering that it requires iOS 14.7, I guess we will see an update soon.
I wonder if this will wirelessly charge AirPods too. If so, I’m sold.
There are others on the market that change the phone at 15w it would charge the phone so slowly at 5w and it’s a tiny battery not worth it
Really?
Me thinks few people like the design/price/low capacity, so few will be sold.

5w is awful. And only in white. LOL.... I bought a off-brand on Amazon for $30 a few months ago that does 15w and I use it often. Love how fast it charges. I'll pass on apple's unless they update it to 15w and make it in colors. So guess the rumors about overheating being cause of delay were true with it only doing 5w.
there are products that do this better and cheaper. pass.
This is a terrible solution. So much energy wasted in the inductive charging, heat generated, low capacity, etc. The old battery cases made much more sense.
Just in white? no thanks. Bring back the smart battery cases.
Exactly apple just can’t do anything right now days
Wow so this is essentiality a mag safe charger and battery pack combined?
I wish they made different size for iPhone Max though.
I think the point is you don't really need fast charging if you can just snap this on to your phone or case. With my external ones, I want to charge as fast as I can so I can unplug it from my phone.
White is the only color? Really? 2 Trillion dollar company.
Yeah their battery packs are normally 129, so I’m glad to see they finally reduced the price.
Absolutely not. It charges the iPhone at 5w. Five measly watts. I'll stick with my 18w Mophie charger that can also charge two devices at the same time.
When my phone is dying I want the fastest charging, not 5w...
100 bones? Lmao gtfo here.. 😂😂😂😂

Which one did you get? There's an Anker one right now on sale.
Yeah i thought this would be one of the first magsafe products to announce
Yes but there are cheaper ones out there already that do the full 15w charging.
