Hyper Launches Magnetic Wireless Battery Pack for iPhone 12 Lineup

I’m surprised given how much Apple highlighted the potential of MagSafe, they still haven’t came out with anything aside from the charger & wallet. All while not licensing 15W charging to anyone else.

i think just holders are enough, having a holder in the kitchen a mount in the car

I'm not so sure about 'better one's' vs more variety on their webstore front.

Personally avoid Chargefast.co site entirely!

Personal on-going issues:
1. told I was a valued customer and pandemic delayed shipping (that was over 30days ago)
- I replied stated hey got my name wrong (which is right above the subject line and TO field).
- they said it's human.
2. Provided with 1 tracking # 5 days from purchase- shows nothing left not even sticker generated.
3. Second tracking number - also not valid and this time requires a CODE they claim to have sent yet is NOT on any email correspondence they've sent to me.
4. A Third tracking number sent day 20, still and again NOT valid, none exists.
checked VARIOUS apps for unified tracking search and various websites from global shipping - nothing accepts their tracking number.

Totally different experience here...

LOL

Surely this runs away with the award for most impractical, clunky and awkward "mobile" accessory of the year

You're lucky. Did you order from ChargeFast this year like I did?
I tried contact them via phone number and for 6x the phone rang 1 time and got hung up on. I called a 7th time and some guy finally answers saying he's on the phone tryign to have a conversation asking me please not to call back - I says I've been calling since your customer service is a joke over email and have not replied in 7days when I asked for a verifiable tracking number or a refund by Friday last week. he says to me 'I don't care'. No voicemail setup. Horrible business - attrocious customer service. I'm in Canada as well so not a 3rd world country where shipping would be an issue. If you ordered 1 product (I ordered 2 of the same back in early February 2021) and you received yours already - that proves the ******** over Pandemic slowing shipping times is ******** to me.

Sorry really upset and want my hard earned money back.

What do you mean by gallons? I think you mean how many pounds does it weigh. I’m gonna say about 1-4 pounds.

Bad Joke...implying it looks as big as a generator.

Wired will still be more efficient.

Yeah. Why not put the smart connector that's on the iPad Pro on the somewhere on the iPhones?

I want to see someone do a test to see how many times you can actually fully charge the iPhone. I don't think you can get 2 full charges off 5000mah through wireless charging.

Just received mine in the post. Once fully charged I attached it to my almost completely empty iPhone 12 mini and was able to get one complete charge. After this the Hyper was showing 1 of its 4 lights, so used around 3/4 of the Hyper to charge.

Form factor wise, its not as bad as I thought. The phone is actually reasonably usable with the battery attached, but it won't go back in my pocket. What I do like is that once the phone is out and I am charging it, I can continue to use it, make calls, etc, and it just feels like a phone with a big charging case.

My impression after 2 days of use is that its not a terrible product considering the price. I think MagSafe is a solution looking for a problem and I really wish Apple had not deployed it on the iPhone series. I now struggle with many Qi chargers, most irritatingly is that the integrated wireless charger in my car is now completely useless. Thanks Apple.
