After the mandatory arrival of the USB-C to all electronic devices, Apple decided that its MAGSAFE BATTERYwhich had a lightning connector, I was not having the results they wanted, so they did not spend money to adapt it, but removed it from the market.
Many people have been waiting for it for years to be renewed, but there has been no clue that leads us to think that it could come true, at least until today, where a new accessory could reach the Apple store in September, with the departure of the iPhone 17 Air.
Does he found with battery for the iPhone?
According to The Information Filtrations, Apple will recover the concept of the “Smart Battery Case”This external case would include an additional battery to compensate for the lower autonomy of the model, so we are not sure if it would be a kind of Magsafe battery for all models, or a specific case for each of them, which could be a handicap, since the reason why it seems to return, is because of the low autonomy that the iPhone 17 Airdue to its thickness, which makes us think that it could leave exclusively for this model, leaving the rest without options.
Anyway, Apple intends to ensure a battery life Ideal for day to day, and only this accessory would be taken as a complement for trips, or intense work days where it could be necessary, but does not mean that we will have a bad device in this regard, although logically it will not approach the duration of others such as the Pro Max, possibly the version that most autonomy since Apple exists.
It is a good idea for all who seek something lighter and more compact, but have an option not to be thrown at any time, since we understand that reducing the thickness also affects the battery, being smaller, and, therefore, consuming before.
We still have many doubts about this accessory, because we do not know its capacity, or what will expand the autonomy of the iPhone 17 Air, as well as the pricesince if a normal case is around 59 euros, how much could a battery cost? Something similar to the 150 that was worth the Magsafe? If so, the good price expected by this model would be lost with the extra accessory that almost everyone would have to buy by obligation, unless the use it gives it is so limited that it will never be needed.
In summary, Magsafe batteries could return in the form of a case thanks to the iPhone 17 Air, marking the return of a forgotten accessory. A complement that, this time, would make more sense than ever because of the limitations of ultradelgated design.
And you, what do you think of all this? Would you like all the models to have a cover, regardless of whether a Pro Max will already have great autonomy, or do you think it is unnecessary and a more annoying accessory than functional? Leave us a comment with your opinion about it.
