HyperJuice Magnetic Wireless Battery Review

In March, Hyper released its HyperJuice Wireless Magnetic Battery Pack for the iPhone 12 line, promising customers an easy way to wirelessly charge their devices on the go. At the time, there were relatively few options for MagSafe compatible portable batteries on the market. Now, however, thanks to Apple’s recent release of its own MagSafe battery pack, there is a bit more competition, and Hyper’s battery pack is establishing itself as a worthy competitor.

Design

One of the most eye-catching aspects of the battery is its size. Like Apple’s ‌MagSafe Battery Pack‌, Hyper sells a battery for all iPhone 12 models, which means the size should be big enough for the iPhone 12 Pro Max but still small enough to fit on an iPhone 12 mini. .

I used it with my ‌iPhone 12 Pro Max‌, and I found it too bulky with its design, even though I have rather small hands. The battery has smooth, curved edges on either side, so it’s relatively comfortable and natural to hold, but difficult to use your one-handed iPhone normally with it attached.

In practice, I’ve found that the design of the battery causes it to rotate very slightly if you’re typing or making a phone call. It’s certainly not a compromise, and Apple can be blamed for the strength of the magnets. Overall, however, the battery stays firm and sits in place with occasional use.

If build quality is something you are concerned about, you shouldn’t be. Hyper’s battery is an extremely well-built product, made with hard plastic on the front and a softer, cushion-like coating on the back. The finish on the back, which attaches to the iPhone‌, is popular because it protects not only the battery, but also the iPhone‌ itself from scratches or scuffs.

In my normal daily use it holds up very well and any scuffs that appear can be easily wiped off.

Functionality

The use case of a battery for each person will be different, but in my experience trying to use the battery while shopping or going for a quick jog with it in my pocket has proven to be a challenge. . In other situations however, such as lying in the nearby wireless bed or at your desk, the battery can come in handy with the ease of simply attaching it to the back of the iPhone without the hassle of wires.

Performance

On the performance side, the Hyper battery has a 5000mAh, 18Wh battery that powers Apple devices at 7.5W. You can use the pack as a standard portable power brick with a USB-C port that provides 12W power, which can be handy if you have a non-MagSafe device that needs charging. This USB-C port on the battery can also be used to charge both the iPhone battery and the battery itself when connected.

Hyper’s battery has a 5000mAh, 18Wh battery which, considering its size, is impressive. Each person’s direct experience with the battery in terms of their device’s charging capacity will vary depending on several factors.

However, with Hyper’s battery, you should expect enough charge. In my experience, with the phone left intact, this gave me around 73% charge on an ‌iPhone 12 Pro Max‌, and you’ll obviously get a higher percentage of charge on iPhones with smaller battery capacities.

There are four lights on the front of the battery, which are the only indicators of the current status and charge of the battery. On the other hand, Apple’s ‌MagSafe Battery Pack‌ allows users to see the specific battery charge on iOS, a feature that third-party accessory manufacturers cannot currently use.

The bottom line

The iPhone 12‌ is the first ‌iPhone‌ to integrate Apple’s MagSafe technology, taken in a different form on the Mac, into the iPhone‌. ‌MagSafe‌ is the future of the iPhone‌, as Apple will likely end up relying entirely on it for power with the alleged removal of the Lightning port over the next few years.

That said, ‌MagSafe‌ on iPhone‌ is still a relatively new technology, and the accessories industry that it has started to create will only become more robust and diverse with options over the years.

Hyper Magnetic Wireless Battery does what it promises to do; it provides your ‌iPhone 12‌ with enough extra juice to get you through the day. Depending on your use case, it can be a great accessory for ‌iPhone 12‌ line customers looking for an easy way to charge their iPhone on the go.

Everyone’s lifestyle is different, and some may find that Hyper’s offering fits even better into their daily routine than it does to me. Either way, for $ 39.99 and a 5,000mAh battery, Hyper’s Magnetic Wireless Battery is a premier portable wireless charger, especially when Apple’s supply is over. double the price.

How to buy

Hyper’s magnetic wireless battery can be purchased from its website for $ 39.99.
