Apple is working on a new version of its power bank. What new will he propose this time?
The MagSafe battery is one of those Apple accessories that I’ve been using for years. This is my favorite power bank – it’s light and convenient to use. Its biggest disadvantage used to be its price. Currently, however, I would say that a much bigger “but” is the charging port – because that’s the only reason I still have a Lightning cable in my toolbox.
During the premiere of the iPhone 15 smartphone series, Apple removed the accessories from the range. Reason? Probably a Lightning charging port. To be honest, I expected the MagSafe battery to come back a few weeks later at the latest, but none of that happened. Now we learn that the new version of the accessory may be a little different. And it will offer not just one, but two… USB-C ports.
New MagSafe battery with two USB-C ports
The PatentlyApple website, irreplaceable in the following news, informs about a new patent number 2322474.6M001. We can see the MagSafe battery with a new connector… or rather new connectors. Because in the graphics submitted to the patent office we see two USB Type-C ports. The first will probably be used to charge the accessories, while the second will be an output that you can use to charge another device.

Another option mentioned in connection with two USB-C ports in the battery is to make the battery something like a “hub” – so that we can charge the accessory and at the same time connect other devices to it at the same time Can be charged at the same time. With the new version of the battery, the Qi standard will probably change to Qi2 – and MagSafe will also be available.

I’m waiting for an updated version of the battery. I want to say goodbye to the Lightning cable
Apple’s proprietary charging solution is past its prime. Since we can now charge the company’s tablets, computers and smartphones via USB-C, it just doesn’t make sense for the accessories to lag behind. The giant knows this very well, which is why the MagSafe Battery Pack is no longer offered in its original form. I’m still waiting for changes in the area of computer accessories – because we still can’t charge the Magic TrackPad any other way.
