Hyper launches magnetic battery pack for iPhone 12

AppleInsider

Hyper has just launched its own MagSafe-compatible battery pack to wirelessly charge an iPhone 12 on the go.

Hyper MagSafe battery pack

The new 5,000mAh battery pack can charge any iPhone 12 model wirelessly and a second device can be charged over 12W USB-C port simultaneously.

A MagSafe-compatible magnet ring sticks and aligns battery pack to the rear of the iPhone. As this isn't a true MagSafe charger, it still charges your iPhone 12 over Qi with a maximum of 7.5W, versus Apple's official MagSafe charger providing up to 15W.

The Hyper magnetic battery pack is contoured to be comfortable and ergonomic while in use. It has a four-stage LED indicator to convey the remaining battery capacity and only adds 150 grams of weight

You can pick up Hyper's MagSafe-compatible battery pack now from Hyper for $39.99.

Perfect example of function before form.

Enh. It looks all right. If you have your phone face down on your desk then this works, but then again you'd probably have a wired connection available in that particular case. In your pants pocket the look of the thing is irrelevant, and the combination would be too heavy for a shirt pocket anyway. Maybe there's an argument for making the brick as wide as the phone.
