If you disagree and want to push it, then there’s an option in the Control Centre to disregard this limit.
This makes sense, as it requires a lot of oomph to fill that final 10% and Apple clearly feels the trade-off in efficiency isn’t worth it. Interestingly, the first time you attach the add-on to your phone you’ll get a pop-up saying it won’t attempt to charge your phone past 90%. Of course, these figures will likely vary, but it’s a handy guide.

On the iPhone 12 Mini, it took a completely depleted device to 78% an iPhone 12 to 60% and an iPhone 12 Pro Max to 49%.
#APPLE MAGSAFE BATTERY PACK FULL#
I tested this with all three sizes of iPhone 12 (12 Mini, 12 and 12 Pro Max) and it couldn’t give any of them a full charge. This purpose is made clear by both the size of the pack itself and, in turn, the fairly small 1460mAh battery. Instead, this is more for those situations where you’re running for the last tube and your phone is close to the red, or waiting for someone’s call and you’re away from the plug.
It is not competing against those hefty packs from the likes of Anker that can keep your phone chugging along through a weekend at Glastonbury or on a camping holiday. The MagSafe Battery Pack isn’t designed to be a charger to give your iPhone 12 multiple boosts.
There’s a bit of wobble towards the bottom and it will fall off if you really shake the phone, but you probably shouldn’t be shaking your phone in the first place. I’ve found the connection between the battery pack and the phone to be strong, even more so if you’ve got a case on. The Wallet, for instance, received some criticism for popping off too easily. There has been some concern about just how strong the magnets are in these MagSafe accessories. The outer shell is made from a soft-touch plastic that has a nice, grippy texture to it, and the back has a rubberised pad to make sure it sticks to your phone. I can see this getting dirty over time, especially if you keep it in your jeans, so it would have been nice to have a darker shade made available too. There’s one colour option – white, with a grey back. MagSafe Battery Pack on the iPhone 12 The Battery Pack on an iPhone 12 Pro Max It’s small enough to slip into a pocket alongside the phone (11m thick) and it’s very light (113g).
In terms of size, it’s almost exactly the width of the iPhone 12 Mini. There are no buttons anywhere, just a Lightning port and an LED that indicates when it’s charged or being charged. The MagSafe Battery Pack is small, simple and distinctly Apple. This is easily the most worthwhile MagSafe-branded accessory I have used since the tech was reborn as a magnetic iPhone system alongside the iPhone 12. Yet, after spending some time with it, it’s clear that it serves its purpose very well. The usual calls of being overpriced, lacking in features and so on have been easy to spot in any online discussion about the charger. Like a lot of Apple’s own accessories for its iPhones, the MagSafe Battery Pack has caused quite the stir since its stealthy release.
