“#App<\/a>le developing magnetic battery pack to charge iPhones: report<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Apple is reportedly developing a magnetic battery pack that would let people charge their iPhones on the go.<\/p>\n

The battery would stick onto the back of the new iPhone 12 with the MagSafe technology<\/a> that Apple uses in its latest line of wired chargers, Bloomberg News reported<\/a> Friday, citing people with knowledge of the gadget.<\/p>\n

The magnets have proven strong enough to remain stuck to the phones in internal testing, but Apple has encountered software-related glitches, such as iPhones incorrectly saying the battery is overheating, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

The company has also reportedly encountered issues with people switching between using the battery with and without a case on their iPhones.<\/p>\n

Apple has been working on the product for at least a year but could eventually delay its rollout or scrap it altogether because of the problems developers have encountered, Bloomberg reports.<\/p>\n

If it does eventually hit shelves, the battery pack could bolster Apple\u2019s growing accessories and wearables business. Products such as Apple Watches, AirPods and Apple TV sets accounted for nearly $13 billion of the tech titan\u2019s sales in the last three months of 2020, up from about $10 billion in the year-earlier quarter.<\/p>\n

It would also allow Apple to compete with third-party accessory makers that are already selling magnetic wireless chargers. One such device<\/a> goes for $49.99 online; it\u2019s unclear how much Apple\u2019s battery would cost.<\/p>\n

Apple appeared to tease the battery pack in its iOS 14.5 software update, which developer Steve Moser spotted on Twitter<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Apple did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to a request for comment Friday morning. The company\u2019s shares ticked up about 0.6 percent in premarket trading to $130.44 as of 7:25 a.m.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
