Apple really wants to bring out a portable, magnetic battery pack for your iPhone, but might not manage it.
Alongside the iPhone 12, Apple introduced a new MagSafe line of accessories that snap to the back of the smartphone, and according to a new report there’s a portable MagSafe battery pack in the works. As per Bloomberg, the add-on has been in the works for at least a year, and could well have launched already if it wasn’t for « issues related to software » that are causing delays. One such issue is the pack reporting that it’s overheating when it isn’t, apparently. The « people with knowledge of the product » speaking to Bloomberg say that another problem has been getting the charging pack to work when users switch from using a phone case to not using a phone case, and vice versa.
