The best MagSafe accessories for iPhone

The MagSafe charger, which was shown off during the MagSafe unveiling, will most likely be the first item purchased by most iPhone users.

The charger uses the MagSafe system’s magnetic connection to provide dependable 15W wireless charging—no need to find the sweet spot as with other ordinary wireless chargers. It looks and performs similarly to the Apple Watch charger, with a simple snap-on method that securely attaches itself to the iPhone when it is nearby.

• Pros :

  • Charging experience that is convenient
  • Charges faster than Qi
  • Simple to remove

Tripods aren’t new, but connecting a MagSafe attachment to the top is – and that’s precisely what STM did with the MagPod.

The MagPod, shaped like a pill and just slightly bigger than an average hand, is a far more compact alternative to a traditional tripod. When not in use, the three legs are hidden within the shell, allowing it to double as a portable grip and fold outwards in unison when in use. While this is convenient for rapid assembly, the three legs cannot be individually inclined for usage on uneven floors – it’s primarily suited for flat surfaces in the house.

The MagPod’s strong magnet provides peace of mind when attaching an iPhone using magnets – even bulkier models like the iPhone 13 Pro Max are no problem for the STM tripod – and the combination of a swivel head and pivoting body means it can angle your phone at practically any angle, ideal for recording videos and taking nighttime photos of the stars.

The STM MagPod lacks fancy smart features like a built-in battery or a motorised swivel mechanism, but it’s a solid choice if you need a tripod that’s straightforward to set up without those awkward phone attachments.

• Pros :

• • Easy to attach
  • Able to capture almost any angle
  • Doubles up as a phone holder

• Cons :

• • Legs feel a little flimsy
  • No charging capabilities

The ShiftCam SnapGrip makers kit is a simple MagSafe-based device that makes it easier than ever to take photographs and film movies on an iPhone.

The SnapGrip is the main attachment, which connects to the back of your iPhone and functions as a mount with a digital camera-like form and a built-in trigger button. It not only improves grip and makes taking photos easier, but it also holds a 3,200mAh battery that can be used to charge your iPhone wirelessly while attached.

The SnapLight is a tiny LED ring with an adjustable angle and four preset light settings to assist brighten darkish pictures. It also has a built-in mirror so you can see what’s being shot when taking selfies with the back camera.

Finally, you’ll have the opportunity to utilize the SnapPod, a portable tripod intended to keep your iPhone solidly in position, with adjustable angles to help you capture the images you need. If you require something larger and sturdier, the MagSafe connection point may be unscrewed and attached to a regular 1/4in screw mount on any tripod.

What’s the best part? These attachments may be used separately or as part of a larger camera system, allowing you to pick and choose which ones you need based on your needs.

The Velox magnetic stand can charge your iPhone and a Qi-compatible accessory at the same time, such as AirPods with a Wireless Charging Case or other brands of headphones.

Despite being available in just one color, the midnight blue silicone and gold-colored aluminum look exquisite on a bedside table, even if they appear to us to be black and brass. When an iPhone is attached, the mount is covered, giving the impression that it is floating, although it is sturdy due to a weighted base.

The Qi charging pad is the perfect size for most wireless earbud casings, and it worked nicely with Huawei’s Freebuds Pro in testing.

However, there are a few drawbacks to the Velox. First and foremost, it is solely MagSafe compatible. As a result, it can charge an iPhone at 7.5W rather than the 15W offered by genuine MagSafe accessories.

This isn’t a big deal if you want to use it to charge your iPhone overnight, as it has enough power to charge it from empty to full while you sleep.

Another concern is that the iOttie does not come with a power source, and the ‘built-in’ USB-C cable cannot be changed if it becomes broken. The pricing isn’t too awful if you already have a decent power source. If you don’t need the Velox’s luxury aesthetics, there are less expensive variants available.

Furthermore, because the Ugreen charging station is Apple MFI-certified, you can expect full 15W MagSafe charging speed as opposed to the limited 7.5W charging speed of MagSafe-compatible competitors.

There is one caveat, and it is not unique to the Ugreen charging station: it does not come with a socket, so you will need to acquire your own 20W+ USB-C charger somewhere.
