And despite not being one of the company's best-selling accessories, it was widely accepted among those who purchased it (myself included). However, since the presentation of the iPhone 15 we have been able to observe that it no longer appears in its store, and it will not do so in 2024.
Why is Apple recalling its MagSafe battery?
The reasons are not official, and obviously everything we can say is a guess, although knowing Apple, the shots are there, we are almost sure.
The MagSafe batteryAs we said, it was not the best of its products, but it was not such a failure that its withdrawal would be definitive and due to poor results, but quite the opposite.
We all know Apple, they are too perfectionist and don't want anything to be outdated. That is why the main reason why the release of the iPhone 15 meant the removal of this MagSafe battery is its connectoron which much emphasis was placed.
The new phones, as well as computers or even AirPods have the USB-C, a new standard that we will have mandatory in all products at the end of this year. And what happens to your battery? Who still had the clightning connectorThat is, they did not want to sell something that you could not charge with your new phone, basically because they do not even come with the cable as standard in the product, and, therefore, you would not have the option of using it.
That is why it is believed that during this year, rather at the end, with the arrival of the iPhone 16 and the new standard already established, we will see a new version of this external battery, with improvements in capacity and performance and above all with the factory USB-C connector.
And it has a lot of logic. I use my MagSafe with my iPhone 13, both with the lightning cable, and it would seem very confusing to have to use two different ones to charge each of the devices, so its removal is very normal.
Anyway you can continue purchasing it on many pages such as Amazon, ECI, Fnac, etc. So if you have an iPhone 14 or lower, with the possibility of using MagSafe, you're on time before they run out. I have mine and I can't go out without it, it's wonderful, although the price is not too cheap, more of a whim. Furthermore, due to lack of stock, some stores are even taking advantage of it.
And you, do you have this accessory? Did you realize that Apple had removed it from its official stores? Will the renewed version be much better or is it likely that we will not see a new one for a couple of years? Leave us a comment with your opinion, we will be happy to read them.
