Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack updated to charge iPhones faster
A new firmware update to the MagSafe Battery Pack has been released. This will make it faster to charge an iPhone. When plugged into a 20W charger, the MagSafe pack can transfer up to a 15W charge to an iPhone, but now, the MagSafe Battery Pack will be capable of charging up to 7. 5W while off the power grid. Previously, it only charged at up to 5W while portable.
Apple updated their support page to include details about how you can update your MagSafe Battery Pack. You can use your iPhone, iPad, or a Mac to update the Pack. The Pack automatically updates when it’s attached to an iPhone. This could mean that the update can take as long as a week. Apple says you can connect the MagSafe Battery Pack to an iPad or Mac and the update should take about 5 minutes.
To verify the latest update has been installed (version 2. 7), attach the Pack to your iPhone and head into Settings > General > About > MagSafe Battery Pack.
