Apple has made it possible to update the firmware on your MagSafe battery pack. Typically firmware updates only fix reliability and bugs but with the most recent firmware, Apple increased the charging rate to 7.5W from 5W. Here is how you can check your firmware and how to update -- whether to get the new faster charging or anything updates in the future.

Could this method be used to update any model of Airpods? Keep up the good work 👍

Great vid mate. Done it nice and easy. Can you tell me where you got the battery case from please.

Would connecting your lightning cable to the Official Apple lighting to USB camera adapter work, to connect? have an older 10.5 iPad Pro that only has a lightning port.

Hi! Where can one buy the leather cover for the iPhone Battery Pack? Thanks

@RAllenPrice 2 года назад

I have neither an iPad or a Mac. So I had to opt for the ‘attach, wait (and hope!) method. Started on Monday evening and discovered it had updated by Wednesday morning. It really is a daft way to do things. So, yes! It needs a button!!! Thanks for the directions and making them so accessible. I would never have thought to search Apple support to see how this is done otherwise. 👍🏽

@emiliograsso4784 Год назад

@AppleInsider - Does (MagSafe Battery Pack) hold charge when not in use? Say e.g: You charge it too 100% and leave it in your draw. A week later you need it. Will it be still charged? Thanks for all your help. 🙂

@pmedicff 2 года назад

I think Apple should add a button to do it from your phone. Some of us unfortunately don’t have an iPad or Mac as a secondary device. Though I borrowed my buddies and it updated in minutes. Thanks for all the videos you put out. You always do a great job.

@sirnigelthornberry2922 Год назад

The fact that no one ever says you can update your magsafe battery pack with a regular lightning cable and a slightly older mac that doesn't have "USB-C" connectivity is a conspiracy theory that Apple is just forcing people to upgrade their hardware. how? It takes a week to install an update via your iPhone 12/13? Sounds like apple punishing us for not having a new iMac, MacBook Pro, or a USB-C enabled iPad. The tech used in the MagSafe battery and an iPhone is just NFC technology. Anyone who's used a tap to pay, or a Nintendo 3DS/Switch knows that the NFC is more than capable of transmitting decent amounts of data between devices. So apple forcing people to upgrade every bit of their tech so it can work flawlessly between them seems like a shady way for apple to make mass amounts of revenue every year. Which translates to more e-waste our poor planet doesn't need.. :/

@chusoskever2649 Год назад

If you don't have at your disposal an Ipad or Mac and don't know no one that could help you with their device you could always show up at an Apple Store, not the best option but they shouldn't deny you help to update it, and there are plenty of ipads and macs in a store, so if that's your last chance do it if you don't mind

Does this work with the iPad Pro third edition from 2018? Does your Wi-Fi speed need to be super fast? I live out in the country and our Internet is based on satellites.

@AppleInsider 2 года назад

You shouldnt need super fast speeds but just leave it plugged in a bit longer. Then check on your iPhone it was updated, and if not, try again and wait a bit longer a second time.

@tommelaniphy4882 2 года назад

I updated the pack with a 2018 iPad Pro 11” and it worked fine.

@ZestyLimeStudios 2 года назад

OR* your like me with a SE2020 & brought a MagSafe case off Amazon & brought the apple MagSafe power bank, the SE2020 doesn't seem to have those extra settings because its not designed to have MagSafe accessories but everything works with the MagSafe case i brought, but the phone just doesn't have the extra software for the SE models, i guess when Apple sends the updates through they leave out the extra settings. bit annoying but you know, apple should of put MagSafe in the SE 3rd Gen that's just come out

@GhostRaiders 2 месяца назад

Any help would be gratefully appreciated. I have a Magsafe battery pack which I bought from Apple so I know it's legit. It won't update to the latest firmware version, it's been permanently attached to the back of my phone for around six weeks now and no update. I have tried to update it using a MacBook and after 50 mins it still hasn't updated. I've been in touch with apple support and also back to the apple store but no one seems to be able to help. I have noticed that if I leave it attached to my phone while I charge it the battery pack is viable from the widget but it disappeares from the about section in settings. IPhone 14pro max has latest update so any help please

@Silvernirvash Год назад

So there is no way to do this through windows :( for us who don't have all apple devices, we should have the option to manually initiate an update check through software without leaving it on the back of your phone. it makes no sense but then again we're talking about apple here, most things they do, don't make much sense when it comes to anything on the backend of things.
