| Boilerpipe Text | While the
iPhone Air MagSafe Battery
is not compatible with any other iPhone models, the USB-C port on the battery pack can charge some smaller accessories.
As noted
by
9to5Mac
's Zac Hall
, the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery
product page
has this line:
Charge smaller accessories via USB-C
Apple says the USB-C port on iPhones can charge an AirPods case, Apple Watch, or another small device that supports USB Power Delivery
at up to 4.5W
, and the USB-C port on the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery likely behaves the same way.
So long as the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery has a sufficient charge, connecting a USB-C cable from the battery pack to the small accessory will initiate charging of the accessory — it could even be something like a small USB-powered fan.
Apple's
original MagSafe Battery Pack
with a Lightning port could not charge small accessories like an AirPods case or an Apple Watch in this manner.
You can order the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery now, with U.S. pricing set at $99. | |||||||||

Thursday April 9, 2026 3:40 am PDT by [Hartley Charlton](https://www.macrumors.com/author/hartley-charlton/)
Apple discounted the iPhone Air by up to 30% on its official UK Amazon storefront last month, in a steep and highly unusual direct price reduction, and at least one color sold out entirely. The sale price brought the 256GB iPhone Air down to as low as ÂŁ699 across two colorways (Sky Blue and Space Black), both reduced from their original ÂŁ999 price. Sky Blue has since sold out entirely,...

The original MagSafe battery could charge AirPods wirelessly. Surely this can too.

From the photo, it seems the reason is size. The battery would run into the camera on most iPhones.

| Readable Markdown | While the [iPhone Air MagSafe Battery](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/09/apple-reintroduces-magsafe-battery/) is not compatible with any other iPhone models, the USB-C port on the battery pack can charge some smaller accessories.

As noted [by *9to5Mac*'s Zac Hall](https://9to5mac.com/2025/09/09/apples-new-magsafe-battery-doesnt-just-work-with-iphone-air/), the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery [product page](https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MGPG4AM/A/iphone-air-magsafe-battery) has this line:
> Charge smaller accessories via USB-C
Apple says the USB-C port on iPhones can charge an AirPods case, Apple Watch, or another small device that supports USB Power Delivery [at up to 4.5W](https://www.macrumors.com/2023/09/16/iphone-15-usb-c-port-details/), and the USB-C port on the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery likely behaves the same way.
So long as the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery has a sufficient charge, connecting a USB-C cable from the battery pack to the small accessory will initiate charging of the accessory — it could even be something like a small USB-powered fan.
Apple's [original MagSafe Battery Pack](https://www.macrumors.com/2023/09/12/apple-discontinues-magsafe-battery-pack-and-duo/) with a Lightning port could not charge small accessories like an AirPods case or an Apple Watch in this manner.
You can order the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery now, with U.S. pricing set at \$99. | |||||||||
