Apple just announced a new, official MagSafe battery for the super-slim iPhone Air, but if you were hoping the battery would work with other iPhones, it apparently won’t. According to the product page for the $99 battery, “the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery was created exclusively for iPhone Air,” and the compatibility list includes just the iPhone Air.
Apple also has an image on its store showing the tall battery pack attached to an iPhone Air next to an iPhone 17 Pro and an iPhone 17. Looking at all of the phones side by side, it appears that if the battery were placed on the other phones, it would bump up against the cameras.
The company discontinued its former MagSafe Battery Pack in 2023, right after it announced the iPhone 15. But nowadays, there are a lot MagSafe battery options from third-party companies that you could use with an iPhone 17 or 17 Pro instead.
