I recommend reading the support document because it is weird: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212174

- 15W charging when plugged into the battery (effectively serving as a MagSafe charger), but 5W when not (effectively the same as a normal 3rd-party battery)

- It may only charge to 90% (with the workaround being to put the iPhone into Low Power mode?)

- If plugged into the phone, it can charge the battery (is this the first use of "reverse charging" for the iPhone?)

It also requires iOS 14.7 which isn't out yet; the RC was released today so will likely be out next week.
