Apple announced on Tuesday, on its website, a battery that attaches with magnets on the back of the iPhone 12, extending its service life when the device’s battery is about to discharge, reports CNBC, according to news.ro.

The MagSafe Battery Pack costs $ 99, is white, and is available for pre-order, and delivery will begin next week.
When attached to the back of an iPhone, the battery can charge the phone with a power of 5 watts, approximately equal to that of a charger older than the iPhone and lower than the 15 watts of a normal MagSafe charger.
When the battery is attached to an iPhone, users can use a cable in the Lightning port to charge both the external and the device’s battery for faster charging.
The launch of the product this week is the latest in a series of accessories using the Apple MagSafe system, which the company introduced last fall with the new iPhones.
In user surveys conducted by the company, the extra battery life is constantly one of the top features that consumers want from their smartphones.
Apple has in the past released batteries that extend battery life, but without MagSafe, Apple’s smart battery cases had to physically connect to the iPhone’s port to charge it and provide additional battery life.
Apple has not released official estimates of battery life or charging capacity, but a photo of the product suggests that the MagSafe battery has 1,460 milliamps per hour or just under half of an iPhone 12’s 3,110 mAh battery.
