Apple Releases New Firmware Update for iPhone Air MagSafe Battery

Apple this week released another firmware update for the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery, but there are no specific details about what it includes.

The latest iPhone Air MagSafe Battery firmware has a version number of 8B32, up from 8B25. In the Settings app on the iPhone Air, the new firmware is listed as version 101.0, while the previous firmware was listed as version 99.0 in the app.

  • New Firmware: 101.0 (Version) / 8B32 (Build)
  • Previous Firmware: 99.0 (Version) / 8B25 (Build)

Apple does not share release notes for iPhone Air MagSafe Battery firmware updates, so it is unclear what is new. However, it would be reasonable to assume the update includes performance and stability improvements, and/or bug fixes.

iPhone Air MagSafe Battery firmware updates automatically install in the background over time, while the accessory is charged and actively being used.

You can check the version number of the ‌MagSafe‌ Battery's firmware by attaching it to an ‌iPhone Air‌, opening the Settings app on the device, and tapping on General → About → ‌iPhone Air‌ ‌MagSafe‌ Battery. If you see 101.0, it is up to date.

You can manually force an update by following the below instructions from Apple.

I have just done mine, the only thing it seems to have changed is name of it coming on on the widget to iPhone Air MagSafe Battery.


* Your iPhone Air MagSafe Battery will update its firmware automatically while it is attached to iPhone. Or update the firmware using a Mac or an iPad model with a USB-C connector and running macOS 26 or iPadOS 26. Detach the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery from your iPhone, plug one end of a USB-C cable into the connector on your iPhone Air MagSafe Battery, and plug the other end into your Mac or iPad. If prompted, click “Allow accessory to connect ('https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102282')”. The firmware update will take about 5 minutes.
