Apple is finally bringing back the MagSafe battery pack — this time made just for the brand-new iPhone Air. In this video, I unbox it, test charging speeds, check compatibility with other iPhones, and show you how much extra battery life it really adds. At $99, is it worth buying alongside your iPhone Air, or are you better off with other options? Let’s break it all down.
