Battery pack arrives by July 20th, that means over the next 7 days a public release. My bet is public on Tues next week. Maybe Monday as well.

Hmm wonder what makes it need 14.7. Well, will see.

Here is the source:

Quote:

Make sure that your MagSafe-compatible iPhone is running iOS 14.7 or later. When you attach your MagSafe Battery Pack to your iPhone, it will automatically begin to charge your iPhone and a charging status appears on the Lock screen.

That doesn’t say why it needs 14.7, which is what I was wondering.

Of course, but I thought it would be appropriate to link the source that makes me think that IOS 14.7 will arrive tomorrow or the next monday.


As to why the battery needs 14.7. Who knows. Maybe there is no specific reason at all. Apple tends to do that. For example, Apple Music lossless requires IOS 14.6 and Mac Os Big Sur 11.4. Catalina could play Apple Music lossless without any technical limitations, but alas...

I wasn’t doubting that you’d got that from Apple :)

I could easily be wrong and it will turn up in the next few hours, which will be typical of my guesstimates over the last month 😂

I could easily be wrong as well. 🤣
