Apple launched its first portable power bank, MagSafe Battery Pack in July 2020. Compatible with iPhone 12 series and newer models, the MagSafe Battery Pack has an all-white body with a matte-plastic back.
However, a recently leaked prototype of the battery pack shows a very different appearance. Pictures of the power bank’s prototype shared by Twitter account @ArchiveInternal reveal that Apple used a glossy plastic back in the prototype with an LED indicator on the surface side of the Battery Pack which did not make it in the final version of the product.
In addition, the embossed MagSafe ring was not as prominent in the prototype as it is in the retail version. Personally, I like all the design changes Apple made in the final version.
