At first it seemed that they were only going to modify their port, because with the USB-C regulationsthese were obsolete, however, it seems that they have thought better of it, and they are not going to renew this accessory, so we will not see, at least officially, this product in the Apple Store again.
The end of external batteries with MagSafe
As we said, Apple eliminated this product with the release of the iPhone 15, which had a type C port, however, the MagSafe batteries still worked with Lightningso many of us thought it was time for version 2, which would have some new features and they would take the opportunity to change its port, however, this never happened.
With the arrival of the iPhone 16, we have seen the same thing, how Apple does not talk about this product that it also eliminated without saying anything, and this, added to the good autonomy that the company’s new devices have, makes us deduce that we will never see again This, and it is that Tim Cook and the rest of the owners of the company seem to not welcome having to use a external batteryand they believe that it is better to continue improving the one that the phones have directly.
Therefore, if you want to have one, either because you have an older iPhone and you need it, or directly because you use your cell phone a lot and want to be sure that it will always have autonomy, all you have to do is get an imitation, which is available on Amazon for a very attractive price, or go for an original one in the few places where it is still sold, although of course, remember that it will have a lightning connector, since they never released the second version.
It’s a shame, since it is a product that has helped me personally in more than one emergency, and I don’t like the idea of not being able to purchase an original one when mine dies, although it is true that one A great improvement in the autonomy of the iPhone itself can mean that it does not need it, added to the charging speed, which is increasingly faster, although there is still much to improve.
In summary, it seems that we will never see this accessory againwhether due to the high price, the few sales, or the lack of need that Apple sees due to the improvements in the internal autonomy of the iPhone, therefore, it is another product that we add to the list of obsolete, so yes You have one, and you use it, take good care of it, since you will not be able to acquire it again, at least officially.
And you, what do you think about it? Would you have liked a second version, or do you think it really wasn’t that necessary? Leave us a comment.
