    I bought my wife an Apple MagSafe battery pack over a year ago to use with her iPhone 13. She uses it for long trips and it hasn't degraded her battery capacity at all. Hopefully the new Qi2 standard battery packs work at least that well and have more capacity.

    None of the features mentioned seem to justify replacing my current 15w wireless 10000 charger which was less than $30. Incremental improvements like less heat and a little more efficiency are minor. Better to wait till the price drops to about $30 for a qi2 10000 pack

    Where’s guarantee that it would work with >15w? Only thing that works with 15w MagSafe is apple’s one.

    i'm looking for a battery pack that uses wireless charging to charge itself - something i can throw on a charging pad at the end of the day instead of having to plug in. anyone have any reccomendations?

      haha don't feel bad! A MagSafe battery pack will still do the job of getting you charged. And I really like the ESR Halolock series, plus I just heard that Qi2 devices might be farther from shipping than expected. So all good!

    Wireless charging is kinda dumb. Very inefficient. Prefer to go old school with a normal usb battery and cable. Much more efficient.

      @prisonmike3605 11 месяцев назад

      These are meant to get you out of a jam tbh. If you’re out doing shopping or at an amusement park or traveling, hiking etc. Obviously if you’re indoors all the time or driving all the time it’s pretty pointless but I would say it’s pretty efficient

      Interesting theory! Wasn’t paid at all or given products, but since MagSafe is better than Qi1 when it comes to heat, charging speed, and communication with the devices, and Qi2 is based on MagSafe, than Qi2 > Qi1

  • @1984lexani
    @1984lexani 7 месяцев назад

    So all you did was reading commercial advertisments for Qi2 .. of course they say its more efficient, it wont get as hot .. but how much better is it? You don't know but simply repeat the claims . So thanks to this video I know that I can skip your videos in future. Meanwhile, its July 2024 and you rarely find Qi2 powerbanks but they get, WHO GUESSED IT, comment's like "slow, iphone overheating" .. lol
