Summary of Apple’s MagSafe Battery is Trash

00:00:00 - 00:15:00

The author of the video argues that the Apple MagSafe battery is not a good product, due to its low charging efficiency, tendency to heat up, and short lifespan. He recommends using chargers from other companies instead.

• 00:00:00 The Apple MagSafe battery is reportedly trash, with few accessories actually benefiting from its magnetic charging. The battery also cannot be charged wirelessly, a feature Apple advertised as a major selling point.
• 00:05:00 The author of the video complains about the design of Apple's MagSafe battery - specifically, its lack of a quick start manual QR code or ios card tutorial showing how to use the battery. He argues that these weird design decisions are a huge deal, especially because regular users don't know how to use the battery. The battery is also thicker than an iPhone's battery, and is not thin, despite Apple's claims that physics doesn't allow for a thinner battery. The author also argues that the reason the battery is so beefy is because of the iphone 12 mini, and that the best mating surface for the battery is rubber on rubber with a silicon iphone case.
• 00:10:00 The author of the video critiques Apple's MagSafe battery, citing its low charging efficiency and tendency to heat up. He also points out that the battery's lifespan is shortened when it's used frequently and offers a way to extend its life by using the phone's control center to top it off.
• 00:15:00 The designer argues that the Apple MagSafe battery is not good, and that the design is not really Apple's fault. He recommends using chargers from companies such as Mophie and Anchor instead. The anchor charger is particularly bad, as it causes the phone to fall off. The designer also found that the MagSafe battery was not worth the hassle of using it.
