When buying a new refrigerator, I avoid the more expensive conveniences. You can spend anywhere between $300 and $10,000 on a new refrigerator, all of which are perfectly capable of keeping your food cold. Imagine if, instead, we were talking about refrigerators.
Either you are willing to pay for the conveniences of the MagSafe Battery Pack, or you are not.
Indeed, I’m not aware of any other battery on the market that gives you so little bang for so much buck. There are alternative battery packs on the market (even MagSafe ones!) that are cheaper and have more capacity. If the above-listed conveniences aren’t blowing your hair back, you should not buy a MagSafe Battery Pack. Third-party batteries will never get hooks into the operating system. I no longer need to remember to charge while I eat or deal with the random cable issue.Īlso in the convenience category is how it works with the iPhone OS to display the battery and phone charge levels. I’ve now taken a few trips to Disneyland, and the MagSafe Battery Pack was easy to carry, juice up my phone, and then get out of the way. I want to snap it on my phone around 2 pm and then snap it off a few hours later, knowing I’ll have sufficient charge to continue using my phone throughout the day. Historically, I’d plug my phone into a charger while I sat and ate, or (in a jam) do that thing where you’ve got the battery in one pocket or in your backpack and snaking a cable to the phone somewhere on your person, which in addition to making you look like a dork, is also a pain in the neck when the cable gets snagged while you are moving around. So the park puts more drain on your battery now than it ever has in the past. That’s in addition to the inevitable picture-taking, media-sharing, and messaging that comes with visiting Disneyland. In addition to using the app for your admission ticket, you also use it to make ride reservations, order food, interact with the park, and just about everything else. If you haven’t been to Disneyland lately, the entire experience now runs off an app. My primary use case for this battery is day trips to Disneyland.
It’s also convenient because it uses MagSafe to charge, so you don’t have to fiddle with a cable. It is smaller than nearly all battery packs you can buy, and it easily fits in your pocket. The only reason to buy the MagSafe Battery Pack is convenience.
