This one feature sets these MagSafe battery packs apart from the rest – 9to5Mac

At the moment, the testing of the Magsafe bucks has seemed to become my favorite pastime. I tested small, thick, multifunctional, versions of Qi2 and with stands and fans; You call it, and I most likely tried it. While some of these batteries were excellent and have their own cool functions, there is one function that was the old Apple Magsafe Back, which was still absent in third -party packages.

Be sure to check our practical video review below!

IOS integration function

One of the best (if not the best) functions of Apple Magsafe Backer was that it was recognized by your iOS device. Therefore, when you attached the battery to the back of the phone, you received a certain animation on the lock screen. Then, when you unlocked it, the battery will be displayed in your battery widget. You can see an example below.

When Apple switched to USB-C on her iPhone and accessories, she stopped her first personal battery form Magsafe. At this moment there were no third -party power banks with this type of integration. But Kuxiu has just released their new batteries S1 and K1 Magsafe and, in some way, have this ability!

Both of these batteries have this amazing integration function, but there are several differences between them.

Kuxiu K1 3 In1 Power Bank

This is a more interesting one of two, because it is multifunctional, and also has a cool design language. As the name should, this is a 3 -1 electricity bank. It charges your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time, and also provides a stand. What is also good is that both the Magsafe and the Apple Watch charger point can also charge your Airpods Pro. Thus, you can charge your big three only at the expense of the bank. These are specifications:

• 5000mah Power Bank
• Qi2 15W magnetic charging
• 5 W charging for Apple Watch
• 20 watts struck and in charging
• Steam for viewing the portrait and landscape
• 182 g in weight
• Integration of iOS widgets

What I really like about this is that he uses matte glass, which seems almost identical to the material sensation of your iPhone. It feels extremely premium. This power bank is available in two colors, black and desert titanium, and it is sold for $ 69.99.

Kuxiu S1 5000mah PowerBank

This next power bank also has the same cool integration function, but instead of 3 in 1, I am just a power bank. He does not have a charger for hourly stands or Apple. This is just a premium, well -built Qi2 electricity bank. Here is a list of specifications:

• 5000mah Power Bank
• Qi2 15W magnetic charging
• 20 watts struck and in charging
• 145 g of weight
• Integration of iOS widgets
• Matte glass

It is strange that you might think that this battery will be cheaper, as it technically makes it less. But in fact, this is an additional $ 10. The reason is that the battery is made of solid -state materials. Now it is relatively new for me, but the list of some advantages of a solid -state battery is given below compared to conventional lithium batteries.

• Hard electrolyte (ceramics, glass, polymer)
• Safe, not bad
• Higher energy density (longer battery life, compact design)
• A longer service life, more than charge cycles
• Works well at extreme temperatures
• More resistant to wear and damage

On the Kuxiu S1 product page there is a video that really puts the battery through some crazy conditions, and it still works. Within 2 weeks that I used it, he remained very cool to the touch. This battery is also supplied in two colors, black and natural titanium and is sold for $ 79.99.

Final thoughts and accessibility

Fun enough, I actually prefer a simpler S1, because it is thinner, lighter and provides the same amount of charge. K1 will be excellent for these trips to the weekend, so I can just take it with me to charge my main devices. But from the choice of material to integration of iOS widgets to multifunctionality, all this is now my most recommended batteries of Magsafe. As I said, they are available today from the KUXIU website for 69 dollars for K1 and $ 79 per S1.
