There are powerful magnets in a lot of different consumer devices, especially smartphones and other smart devices. As such, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been investigating if many of these devices can cause major issues for individuals with pacemakers and similar medical devices.
Twelve South is back with another accessory, this one designed specifically for the iPhone 12 lineup -- but also for AirPods and AirPods Pro with a wireless charging case.
Apple has a tendency to refresh its color lineup for accessories on a regular basis, adding to what's already available. And, indeed, this year is no different.
Heads up MagSafe Charger owners, our friends over at Nomad have unveiled a beautiful new accessory for the wireless pad. It's called the MagSafe Mount, and it's a solid block of stainless steel meant to hold the charger in place so you can remove your iPhone quickly and easily.
Earlier this year, rumors started to swirl that Apple was going to launch a battery pack featuring MagSafe technology. This would veer away from Apple's battery case, choosing to connect the charging accessory directly to the back of the handset instead. But, we're still waiting for that to happen and third-party accessory makers are filling in the gap.
Apple is believed to be working on a new battery pack for the iPhone 12 family that would use MagSafe technology and feature reverse Qi wireless charging. Our own Harris Craycraft has put together a little video discussing some of the pros and cons of the unreleased product.
First look can be deceiving, especially if you glanced at Apple's MagSafe Wallet only to shrug it off as a pointless, pricey accessory. But spend some quality time with it and things may start to look differently. In this clip, our videographer Harris Craycraft shares with you some pretty interesting thoughts based on his everyday usage of this accessory in the past four months.
Apple is expected to revive the MagSafe charging port on its notebooks, and now the Cupertino company has been granted a patent for a spring-loaded, pogo-style magnetic charging and data port that could also be used in the iPhone in place of the Lightning port.
Word on the street is that Apple is developing a battery pack with MagSafe technology. The upcoming accessory would attach to the back of the iPhone 12 lineup (and future iPhones), charging the device without the need for a full case. And now a new report says that accessory will boast another feature, too.
Apple is reportedly considering making other MagSafe accessories beyond the chargers, wallets and cases, according to sources cited in a new Bloomberg report from Mark Gurman.
If you have an iPhone 12 and are in the market for a sub-$35 MagSafe charger, this post is for you. Our video guru Harris recently put out a great hands-on clip comparing 5 popular budget MagSafe chargers, and we thought it'd be helpful to link to that video and go over those chargers here on iDB.
Heads up, our friends over at Nomad are launching a new case for the iPhone 12 today. It's an update to their popular Rugged Case, which features beautiful Horween leather, an integrated shock-absorbing bumper, and now full MagSafe charging support.
