iPhone Air MagSafe Battery Can Charge AirPods, Apple Watch, and MoreWhile the
iPhone Air MagSafe Battery is not compatible with any other iPhone models, the USB-C port on the battery pack can charge some smaller accessories.
As noted
by 9to5Mac's Zac Hall, the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery
product page has this line:
Charge smaller accessories via USB-C
Apple says the USB-C port on iPhones can charge an AirPods case, Apple Watch, or another small device that supports USB Power Delivery
at up to 4.5W, and the USB-C port on the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery likely behaves the same way.
So long as the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery has a sufficient charge, connecting a USB-C cable from the battery pack to the small accessory will initiate charging of the accessory — it could even be something like a small USB-powered fan.
Apple's
original MagSafe Battery Pack with a Lightning port could not charge small accessories like an AirPods case or an Apple Watch in this manner.
