Apple has officially brought back its MagSafe Battery—but this time, there’s a catch: it only works with the iPhone Air. Yep, no iPhone 17, no iPhone 17 Pro. If you’re an iPhone Air owner, though, this is your new best friend.
What’s New With the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery?
Apple says this sleek battery pack adds 65% extra charge to your iPhone Air, giving you more juice without adding too much bulk. It’s ultra-thin, lightweight, and optimized for the Air’s unique design.
The battery supports 12W fast charging for your iPhone Air and intelligently decides when to use its power to maximize efficiency. Pair it with a 20W adapter, and you can charge your Air even faster. And here’s a bonus: the built-in USB-C port can charge other accessories, from AirPods to iPads—or any USB-C device that needs a little extra juice.
Why It Only Fits the iPhone Air
You might be wondering—why not other iPhones? The reason is simple: shape and camera design. The iPhone Air’s ultra-thin frame and camera bump make it the only iPhone compatible with this MagSafe battery. Put it on a 17 or 17 Pro, and it just won’t line up.

So, if you’ve been looking for a MagSafe battery for any other iPhone, this isn’t it. But Air owners, rejoice: Apple really designed this one with you in mind.
Price and Availability
The iPhone Air MagSafe Battery retails for $99 and is available for pre-order now at Apple.com. Shipping starts this Friday. While it’s not the cheapest external battery pack out there, if you’re rocking an iPhone Air, it’s a sleek, compact way to keep your phone powered throughout the day.
