Images of non-genuine MagSafe power banks with a USB-C charging port instead of Lightning are circulating on social media.
The current MagSafe battery pack is a widely counterfeit accessory, with the counterfeits, like the original, featuring a Lightning port. New photos show exact replicas but with a USB-C charging port.
The entire iPhone 15 lineup is expected to move away from Lightning and feature a USB-C charging port for the first time, and Apple is expected to introduce USB-C to other devices and accessories next year. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said Apple is aiming to move to USB-C across its entire accessory line by next year: “They’ll need to make a new MagSafe Duo with USB-C. Apple could upgrade the MagSafe battery.”

It’s not entirely clear whether these updated accessories will be unveiled at the Wonderlust event, but photos of the knockoffs hint at it.
The presentation of the iPhone 15 and other new Apple products is expected tomorrow.
