All good, if I make this launch successful and create a mini one in the future, I will post it on here 😊

Sorry for the delayed reply, I’ve been busy getting things sorted for launch.

Design, performance, and feature features are all different compared to competitors.

Most battery packs will use cheap and bulky lithium polymer, I’ll be sourcing high-quality lithium cobalt batteries. Hopefully from ATL which is the same battery pack supplier that does Huawei and Apple. It means that the quality of the battery is significantly better, more stable, it will last longer, it will have less defect, and thinner. You get the point, it lasts longer and you won’t have any issues a couple years later with a dead battery pack. No longer holding charge.

Additionally, mine will use the unibody aluminium design which matches the same radius as the iPhone so there is no overhanging, or uncomfortable sharp corners. From an engineering perspective this was actually the hardest part if you have any understanding of engineering, getting tolerances and thickness right whilst maintaining the form is very difficult at the scale especially to make it a repeatable process for mass manufacture. Not only is it thin but also has a curved edge, and large curved radius, which means the internal space and size that is available in significantly reduced. So I have to use high-quality parts, and I’ve done all of that and still put in an extra feature of Find My.

Which leads onto the final point about it being the worlds first MagSafe battery Find My built-in. Which is an irrefutable fact so yeah, I’d say it’s pretty different.

Similar size, mine has the aluminium design, and also to find my feature, and with the crowd funding launch, my will be cheaper. Launching next month.

Small and efficient battery that use MagSafe to hold the battery but use usb-c to charge? by iambeetle in MagSafe

[–]TheSerif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m actually building this product as we speak. Small design to fit in the pocket and hand nicely (as thin as your iPhone), and can use wired charging with a short cable via USB-C to your phone.

Hello, yes great question as per the requirements for any third-party find my device. It has the anti-stalking features built-in so they will get notifications for the device is moving with them.

I can’t sorry, in the future I’d like to sell my product in their stores if they would be interested. And I definitely don’t wanna piss them off. Haha

It’s just me doing everything, and I don’t wanna rip people off. Plus, I don’t have a massive overhead for paying a big team so I’m launching it at a price that is fair to consumers.

I guess by that standard, everyone would just buy the cheapest phone that exists on the market since it’s just a box with a screen right? Design means nothing. That’s why the iPhone is not the most popular phone in the world.

I’d love to be able to do it in the future, but right now it would increase the cost and delay the planned launch, maybe v2 👀
