Got an Apple iPhone 12 or iPhone 13? Then you've got Mag-Safe, a great new way to work with wireless chargers. There's no better Mag-Safe charger than the MyCharge Mag-Lock 6000mAh wireless charger too. Tech expert Dave Taylor tests the Mag-Lock out with an Apple iPhone 13 Pro and finds it's fast, but nowhere near as fast as plugging in the phone. Still, the convenience is excellent...

Is this the best wireless Chi charger on the market
0:02
Probably. But let's talk about it. Dave Taylor here, and I'm looking at this
0:14
This is the My Charge MagLock 6,000 mill-amp hour MagSafe charger. So this is a wireless portable battery for your phone
0:27
Now, MagSafe is something that was introduced on the iPhone. 12 and it's included on the iPhone 13 2. So it's a faster magnet-based coil for Chi wireless charging
0:40
So here's an iPhone 13 Pro. And if you watch, there's a magnet that actually gets it to the right
0:48
place and then it holds it pretty firmly. So it's going to charge. Now let me do that again because
0:53
I want you to hear the sound. There's actually audio feedback. So ready? So we're going to hear
0:59
the sound of me connecting and then I'm going to disconnect and you're going to hear a different sound
1:09
So that's really neat. They have this audible feedback so that you know is my phone in the right
1:16
place when I'm trying to charge it. So now I know it is. So that's great. You know, it has that
1:23
audible feedback. It has a raised coil design you can possibly see here so that there's good heat
1:29
dissipation so this doesn't get super hot, which is important. It is remarkably small for 6,000
1:35
mill hours That a lot of battery jammed into this tiny little thing Now how big is 6 milanp hours Well an iPhone 12 pro has a 2815 mill amp hour battery so this is over twice that size and an iPhone 13 pro has a
1:54
3,095 milliamp hour battery, which makes this just about twice the size of this. In other words
2:01
if this gives me, let's say 24 hours, this will give me another
2:07
not in fact fully two charges, but this will give me at least another 30 hours of use on my phone
2:14
Most importantly, you can throw this in your bag or backpack or purse, and when you're on your phone and it's mid-evening and you're like
2:21
I really desperately need a charge, but I don't want to be stuck having to be right by a wall outlet
2:26
then you've got your solution because now you can just do this and let your phone charge, and you can see on the front
2:33
let's see here. I guess I need to take it off. then turn it on again. And sure enough, we are getting the green bar that shows that it is
2:42
charging, which leads to the question, how fast does it charge? And here's the reality. They
2:49
might be doing a 7.5 watt wireless charge, but that's not a lot. The reality is that wireless
2:56
charging is slower than wired charging. In fact, when I left this on my phone for an hour
3:02
I got about a 25% charge. That was it. Now, you would change
3:07
charge faster from zero to 25% than you do from 75% to 100%. So I was on the upper end of that scale
3:14
which might have affected the numbers What my charge says is that you can charge a phone from dead to fully powered again in just a little less than three hours 2 hours to be precise Now I don see how that math works
3:29
If it took me an hour to get 25%, I don't see how two and a half or 2.75 hours is going to get me 100%
3:35
but that's the magic of how charging works on the iPhone. So, you know, it is really nice
3:43
It is really useful. It's great to not have to worry about cables or anything like that
3:48
You don't have to plug it in. You just literally just put it on. And as you keep hearing, it's just charging
3:54
And in fact, if you have a MagSafe case, and that's a case with like a circle and a little
3:59
line on the inside, that reinforces the magnet. And you can charge it through the case
4:04
I've already tried that. And that works well. So is it worth the money
4:09
Is this a great option for you? And the answer is, it depends
4:13
If you have one with a wire, you will charge your phone faster than something like this
4:18
But this is ridiculously convenient and there's nothing sticking out. There's no cables
4:24
It's a completely self-contained device when you need to charge it. There's USBC
4:29
And in the box there is indeed, as you would hope, a USBC cable in here
4:35
So there we go. A little tiny USBC to USBA cable. And so it's super easy to charge or to keep it fully charged in your bag or purse
4:45
And then when you're in a crisis, you just put your full. phone on it and if you have a friend that doesn't have a 12 or a 13, they're going to be a little bummed
4:52
But that's how it goes when you have older technology, right? And then there a button on the side that you can push that will give you some sense of charge status I actually prefer having multiple LEDs where you get a little more information They didn do that but it light it small it portable it easily slipped into a pocket
5:13
And whenever you need to, obviously you can charge with it. So how much is it cost? Hold on there
5:19
Before we get there, I'm going to ask if you could subscribe to my channel, click or tap on that
5:23
red subscribe button, and we're connected. Super helpful. And give me some feedback. Give me a comment
5:28
give me a thumbs up. Let me know what else you wish I would have tested. with this device before I told you how much it cost
5:34
So how much is it cost? Well, first, it comes in graphite and purple and Pacific blue and white and red and it's a really nice finished
5:45
This feels tough, durable, and scratch resistant. And it is 5999 at mycharge.com, but they do offer a 10% discount if you sign up for their email list
5:57
So, the My Charge MagLoc 6,000 satell amp power magsaf charger is actually 5999 minus 10% at Mycharge.com
6:09
One worth checking out if you have a MagSafe phone. Just don't expect it to be the fastest charge option
6:15
It's just the most convenient fast charge option. So it's what I got
6:20
I do need to let my phone continue charging. So I'll catch you in my next video
