iPhone Air MagSafe Battery Pack Uses Same Battery as iPhone Air
iFixit today took apart the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery pack, an accessory designed to work exclusively with the iPhone Air, and discovered something interesting.
The battery inside the accessory has an unusual shape, leading iFixit to conclude that it's possible that Apple is using the same battery for the iPhone Air and the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery.
iFixit compared the battery in the MagSafe Battery pack to the iPhone Air battery that Apple showed off when introducing the new device, and it does appear to be a close match if not identical.
The battery has a 12.26Wh capacity, and it is 2.72mm thick, which means it is thin enough to fit inside the 5.6mm iPhone Air.
The iPhone Air MagSafe Battery pack is only able to charge an iPhone Air to 65 percent even though it appears Apple is using the same exact battery that's in the iPhone, but that's due to energy transfer loss during wireless charging.
The iPhone Air MagSafe Battery is thicker than the iPhone Air, and iFixit speculates that the size was the minimum needed to make it a viable product. The battery inside is protected with plastic and it does not have the same titanium frame as the iPhone Air.
