Apple has officially discontinued the MagSafe Battery Pack and MagSafe Duo Charger shortly after its iPhone 15 event. As of now, these accessories are no longer available for purchase on Apple’s online store, with their listings completely removed. The discontinuation of both the MagSafe Battery Pack and the MagSafe Duo Charger is not unexpected. Both devices featured a Lightning port, which became less relevant after Apple introduced four new iPhone 15 models that come equipped with USB-C ports.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had previously speculated that the MagSafe Battery Pack would eventually transition to a USB-C design, but it remains uncertain whether this will happen or if the accessory has been permanently retired. Originally released in 2021, the MagSafe Battery Pack was priced at $99 and was designed to magnetically attach to the backs of iPhones from the 12 series onward, offering additional battery life. The MagSafe Duo, which was available for $129, functioned as a foldable charging mat that supported both iPhone and Apple Watch charging. While Apple is discontinuing these products, it has introduced a variety of new USB-C accessories.
This includes updated versions of the AirPods Pro and EarPods, which feature USB-C connectivity. Additionally, Apple had previously incorporated USB-C into the Siri Remote for the Apple TV. Looking ahead, excitement is building for upcoming devices such as the iPhone 17 series, which is expected to feature various new enhancements and design changes. Rumors surrounding these devices suggest notable updates, creating anticipation among Apple enthusiasts.
