Apple’s iPhone Air MagSafe Battery is selling for $59 in the United States, down $40 from Apple’s $99 list price. The discounted accessory is designed around the iPhone Air’s dimensions and attaches magnetically for extra power.
The Walmart listing shows the battery at $59. Amazon deal roundups also list the same promotional price, but availability and the seller shown at checkout can change throughout the sale.
Apple says the accessory can extend iPhone Air battery life and supports wireless charging up to 12W. It also includes a USB-C port, but no power adapter is included with the battery.

Compatibility is the key limitation
The pack’s shape is tailored to iPhone Air. Other MagSafe iPhones may charge when aligned, but the physical fit can be awkward, so this is not the most flexible purchase for a household with several iPhone models.
Shoppers should confirm that the listing is for Apple’s product with model number MGPG4AM/A, not a third-party lookalike. They should also check the return policy and whether the item is sold and shipped by the retailer.
The $59 price is a 40 percent reduction from list price and matches the lowest widely advertised price for the accessory. Because it is a time-limited deal, the final cart total is the reliable price at purchase.
The accessory adds weight and thickness while attached, so buyers should weigh the extra runtime against carrying a separate USB-C power bank that can charge more devices.
