The ``MagSafe Battery Pack'' released by Apple in 2021 is an official mobile battery compatible with MagSafe that can wirelessly charge an iPhone using magnetic force, and can be charged wirelessly even though it is a mobile battery. In addition, the ``MagSafe Dual Charging Pad'' is a foldable charger that can charge an iPhone and AirPods or Apple Watch at the same time, and has the advantage of making it easier to carry by combining the chargers into one.

However, technology media 9to5Mac reported that after Apple held a new product announcement event, it stopped selling the 'MagSafe Battery Pack' and 'MagSafe Dual Charging Pad' at its official store.
When I tried searching on Google, at the time of writing the article, links to official stores that sell 'MagSafe Battery Pack' and 'MagSafe Dual Charging Pad' were still displayed.
However, when I click on the link, the message 'Sorry, the product you are looking for is not currently available on apple.com' is displayed, and I am not able to purchase the 'MagSafe Battery Pack' or 'MagSafe Dual Charging Pad.' I couldn't do it anymore.
9to5Mac explains why sales of the MagSafe Battery Pack and MagSafe Dual Charging Pad have been discontinued: ``The reason these accessories were discontinued is very clear. These are iPhone accessories with a Lightning port for power supply.'' 'Rather than replace it with a USB Type-C version, Apple has chosen to stop selling it entirely.'
At a new product announcement event on September 13th, Apple announced that the new iPhone 15/15 Plus/15 Pro/Pro Max will finally be transitioning from the Lightning port to the USB Type-C port. However, since the 'MagSafe Battery Pack' and 'MagSafe Dual Charging Pad' are compatible only with the Lightning port, they have been discontinued from sale on the official website.

9to5Mac notes that it is unclear whether Apple plans to release USB Type-C versions of the MagSafe Battery Pack and MagSafe Dual Charging Pad in the future, or whether they will discontinue the products themselves.
In addition, as of 2021, 9to5Mac reports that ``Apple is neglecting MagSafe accessories,'' and the ``MagSafe Dual Charging Pad'' is designed to prevent the protrusion of the main camera from moving when the iPhone 13 Pro with the genuine case is placed. It was pointed out that it interferes with the charging pad and prevents it from sticking properly.
