Introduction

The Apple MagSafe Battery Pack will ordinarily only charge an iPhone to 90%. This can be overridden with the Low Power Mode option in Control Center.

    • Attach the MagSafe Battery Pack to the MagSafe location on the back of the iPhone.

    • The Apple logo on the MagSafe Battery Pack lines up with the Apple logo on your phone. This can help in positioning.

    • The LED indicator may glow green or amber depending upon the Battery Pack's charge condition.

    The MagSafe Battery Pack and the MagSafe Leather Wallet With Find My Support (both Apple) are the same size. On the 14 Plus, the onscreen indicator when connecting either is the same size as the accessory.

    Can anyone with another size of 12, 13, or 14 (non Plus or Pro Max size) test and confirm. Again, Either the Wallet or Battery Pack will do. (FYI, the paperwork insert with the Leather Wallet is the same outline as the devices.)

    • Indicate that the iPhone is accepting a charge.

    • Home screen widgets for Battery will indicate the charge level of the Battery Pack. The widget may also indicate if the Battery Pack is being charged (i.e. by cable, or by reverse charging).
