Qi2 Anker vs Apple MagSafe! Not What We Expected..

Well they named it right but the spelled it wrong, boat “anchor” is what that huge thing is. These days I have charging everywhere and I’d rather have the Apple for its compact convenience when I get caught on a very rare chance of running low.

Magsafe destroys your battery

I just want a battery life extender to leave on while I'm using the phone or carrying it in my pocket. It doesn't need to charge quickly or fully and it needs to be as small as possible. The little apple bank would be perfect if it was usb-c. And available in black

Please do the Anker 622 MagGo 5000maH pack next
And also comparing the total charge gained using wireless vs using a USB C cable from it

My takeaway from this video is, despite all the hate it gets, Apple did a great job with their battery. It's sleek, slim, efficient and comfortable to use. It never gets hot, I can track the battery percentage on my battery widget and I've owned one since it was introduced and use it all the time. No buyers remorse here.

while it's understandable that apples battery pack isn't designed for going from dead to fully charged rather it's like an extension of the phones battery, for $100 that's ridiculous
you can get a 30,000mah power bank for $30 from lesser known brands apple is such a ripoff

wasn't the whole point of qi2 that it was way more efficient and generated less heat? its seems like magsafe/qi1 is performing the same or even better

Ain’t landscape and horizontal mean da same?

The Apple battery pack got an update so it can charge 15 watts ?!😅

I just ordered an otterbox defender case on Amazon and am now seeing these videos. I doubt wireless charging will be an option for my iPhone. Great review btw

Nope., Apple be very much alive

disappointed on the wireless charging speed

Here's my thing. These batteries are not designed to take a phone from zero to 100%. These are "top off" tools.

You know you're going to have a heavy use day, so you grab the battery off the charging station and throw it in your bag. As you go along for the day snap it on and top off your phone as the day proceeds.

I have one of the Anker batteries. Once I get to 50% I'll snap it on in my pocket or bag and top off my phone. By 6PM I'm still at 100% battery and that will take me the rest of the day.

Fuck all that I miss battery cases :(

Not worth the upgrade I got the anker before that one and it’s horrible heats up so bad and can’t even charge it enough

For being religious, you guys sure love using the word kill I guess I shouldn’t be surprised

great review - I was wondering how the Alogic Matrix ULTIMATE 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with 5,000mAh MagSafe Power Bank will do (states that this can do 15W fast charging)

Wired charging is still king

i bougt it 4 days ago

So the heat builds up to a halt or slowdown around 80%. So probably it’s good to use for quick small top ups of around 20 to 40% instead of keeping it on all day.

I have an Apple’s battery pack and can’t say that I’m very happy with it. The technology leaves much to be desired. The main problem as you said is overheating. Maybe my IPhone 12’s battery is not ok, but when it’s above 30 degrees Celsius outside this thing just doesn’t work. After 15 minutes it overheats and the charging stops. Don’t think that I’ve got a fake battery pack, I’m sure it’s an original one. To add to this - Apple’s battery pack can hardly charge the phone when you’re using it, even not very hard. It charges really fast only when the weather is cold, frosty. Conclusion - it’s not a powerbank, it’s a battery extender designed to be worn during all day on the back of your phone.

What about if u charged the phone using the Anker battery via usb-c?

This thing is a brick. I wouldn't want to attach this to the phone.

Anker always disappoints me. Cheap, third party, products. I hate it.

2 garbage products especially the apple one. for a $90 you can get a 25000mah unit, I just dont see the need to go wireless.

Here we go again with the infomercials. These guys are a joke now. Lost all credibility for selling out to companies to promote garbage products

main point here is that apple stopped selling theirs (until a new usb-c one comes out hopefully) so the comparison is somewhat useless

20w power input?
I’ve seen my apple battery go up to 24/26wts while charging my iPhone.

Hoping apple update this with type c.

Qi 2 was Future Proof ,One That Manfactures Should Work With liquid cooling Vapour chamber For Beter Thermal Management For Both Mobile & Wireless Charger Vc Cooling System ,Apple & Google Pixel phones & Anker qi2 & Other Brands Should Work ,Samsung Already Started Using Vapor Chamber & Oneplus Has Dual VC Sandwiched .

But which battery pack is better for an iPhone 13 mini or 12 mini?

this is why watt hour is a better unit than mAh

But the efficiency and safety of Magsafe for your battery is unparalleled my guy!

There’s no comparison here! Apple is the way to go! It can be carried in our pocket, great magnets, the battery widget is working, slim, light! This Anker is like carrying an elephant with you!!

NGL... i bought Anker's 622 MagGo 5,000 mAh and size bloat is a real thing. They have a folding stand which is much better.
If I want a battery pack I want it small. Any larger and I'll take a full on non-Magsafe battery pack

People make fun of the Apple battery pack for being overrated... but it fits a niche quite well. If you're running your phone until it's dead... you need a different solution. The lightweight apple battery pack is for topping up and getting you out of a bind.

I bought one but the magnet is weak. It's still good to have a backup charger. Love the display. I mostly use it for my airpods and ipad I keep in the car

Look at the size of that thing 😂

Failed product. It’s getting bigger, thicker where we should get actual 10k mah for the same size as the Apple one, that would actually be a game changer. The day I see it, it’s just another battery pack to be lost in the ocean of battery packs.

Thanks. Just saved my some $$$$. Keep it up

I don’t wanna sound like im hating.

But I don’t use an external battery when my phone dies. I start using it from 30% ish or when its 50%.

Can u try charging from then on? If the 15% 7% makes any difference?

TIA

With all that power loss with wireless charging, I’ll just stick with the Anker 5000 mah Nano power bank with usb c connection, as it will charge much faster & better, with less heat, and $60.00 cheaper!

Not being efficient in this green world that we live in now thats surprising. I surpriced how much waste their is with this type of charging.

VS a MagSafe charger that came out years ago. Wow what an amazing useless comparison

Inductive charging is convenient, but wasteful and slow. All that heat is wasted energy and results in throttling. I prefer using wired chargers.

Why even compare these things? It’s not a battery extender like apple’s plus 3rd party packs get uncomfortably hot

This test just showed me how inefficient and ridiculous wireless charging on the iPhone really is.

I have a MagSafe batt pack for a year now. It's the most disappointing iPhone accessory by Apple. Slow, heats up the phone, charges only about half an iPhone. Only good as a range extender and being relatively small and light. Definitely not worth the regular retail price. Even after discounts, it would be about the same pricing as Anker's.

Oh no… Maybe they can fix it via firmware in a few weeks?

How about with optimized charging turned on does it make a difference?
