Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack Can Now Charge at 7.5W Wirelessly—Here’s How to Update Firmware

Apple brings an update for the MagSafe Battery Pack, and the new firmware gives the public a chance to have a faster experience with the portable wireless charging bank. The latest update will bring as much as 7.5W of output via the magnets at the back of the device and charge the iPhone faster than its previous version.

Apple's support document details the use of the MagSafe battery pack, and it focuses on the way to charge the smartphone device wirelessly, on the go. It also said that users can now charge it at a higher rate, specifically with 7.5W of power that the device can directly output from its recent firmware update from the Cupertino giant.

The company said that users may update their MagSafe battery packs now, and it would be available for all devices to connect. The charging pack's update will ensure that the device will output more power and bring a faster charging experience, especially as its original output is only five watts for charging the iPhone.

How to Update the MagSafe Battery Pack

According to Mac Rumors, there are plenty of methods to update the MagSafe battery pack, and it will only require three things. One is the power cord, the MagSafe battery pack, and an Apple device.

Using the iPhone would take a long time to update the battery pack, so it is recommended to use the Mac or iPad to download and install it in five minutes or more.

Apple and its MagSafe Features

The Apple MagSafe Battery Pack was released for public sale last July 2021, and it changed how users charge on the go from traditional power banks that require wires. Users may opt to use the MagSafe charging wire for the iPhone and hook it up on power banks, but it will have loose wires and other things to carry for replenishing the device.

The MagSafe attaches to the back of the iPhone and latches itself using the magnets, and it can easily attach and detach to the smartphone. It also helps avoid using the dedicated charging port that may wear out for its prolonged use, hence the importance of this wireless charging feature.

Other companies released their takes on the MagSafe, and one of them is Anker's power device.

The MagSafe battery pack has a low wattage for power output in its original release, with only 5 watts of the production for the iPhone. While that is sufficient to charge the device at an adequate rate, having extra power is better, and the battery can take it.

Apple's latest firmware update will help in reducing the charging time and increase power for the power pack.
