iOS and iPadOS 26.5 are still in beta testing, but one of their under-the-radar improvements involves using a Mac accessory—Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, or Magic Mouse—with your iPhone or iPad. Here are the details.

When Apple introduced MagSafe, the immediate focus then and now has always been on wireless charging.

It takes an everyday item you already carry to the gym or the park and turns it into a highly functional iPhone mount.
