MagSafe

Nomad first launched its premium Base One series of MagSafe chargers in 2022 with solid metal and glass designs. Now, the popular Apple accessory maker brings that sharp aesthetic to your vehicle with Mount and Charge Mount alongside a dual USB-C 70W Car Charger.

We’ve had our shiny new iPhone 15 and 15 Pro phones for about a month now, and we have seen a slew of new accessories released. The combination of MagSafe and the new USB-C port has opened the door to some new accessory categories. So, I created a nice roundup of my 15 favorite accessories for the iPhone 15 lineup. Let’s get into it.

Last month, I was scrolling through X, and I came across an iPhone 15 case by the brand Aulumu. It immediately caught my eye, and I started to look into this brand a bit more. They had an extremely unique look and aesthetic. It looked like their accessories belonged in the Cyberpunk video game, but it was still minimalistic enough that I liked it. I tend to gravitate towards the ultraminimal when it comes to accessories, but Aulumu was able to add a few pieces to its designs that gave it some character without it being overwhelming. I saw they had a whole slew of iPhone accessories, so I had to pick them up and see if they lived up to my new high expectations – wow, was I surprised. Let me show you what I mean.

Apple just made the switch from leather to FineWoven ‘microtwill’ for its premium cases, Apple Watch bands, and other accessories. While the change is in line with the company’s sustainability goals, one of the big questions is how will FineWoven hold up? While Apple says it’s “durable” it’s also shared a warning about MagSafe making a mark on the new material.

Nomad launched its Base One and Base One Max (reviewed) premium MagSafe chargers in 2022 and followed up with Stand One earlier this year. Now the high-end Base One Max is expanding from a 2-in-1 to a 3-in-1 MagSafe charger with simultaneous power for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. We’ve been testing out the metal and glass Base One Max 3-in-1, here’s a closer look.

We are coming up on three years since Apple released their MagSafe Duo charger. When it first came out, customers thought it was a great idea – an Apple-certified, foldable, and portable charger. But it has been almost three years, and the price has remained at a staggering $129 while having its faults. It can only charge two devices at once, it doesn’t bring a power brick, it connects via lightning, and you cannot charge at full speed when two devices are charging. Naturally, the competition has caught up and even surpassed the MagSafe Duo. I might have found the best alternative with Kuxiu’s new 3-in-1 charger.

Zeera continues its streak of producing high-quality accessories for your Apple products. They stole the show earlier this year with the MagSafe Duo alternative, the 3 in 1 MegFold. The MegFold was less than half the price of the MagSafe Duo while also including a third charging pad for your headphones. See our review here.

Following up on its premium Base One/Base One Max and Stand One official MagSafe chargers, Nomad is out today with two new products. Adding to the variety of the lineup with the same premium metal and glass build, the new Stand and Base are more affordable by going for MagSafe compatibility rather than official MFi certification. Along with a lower price, that also allowed Nomad to offer slick all-black variants.

Apple offers color-coded MagSafe cables, to match its MacBook finishes, and also tested out color MagSafe chargers, likely to match iPhone colors.

However, while the company got as far as making at least one prototype, it appears that it decided against offering them for sale …

Every once and a while, a new product comes around, and I think, “How has this not been thought about before?” Since Apple introduced MagSafe in the iPhone 12 lineup, companies have been attempting to leverage that hardware to create unique and versatile accessories. We have seen everything from MagSafe batteries to chargers, car mounts, wallets, and so much more. But Rolling Square, with its new Edge Pro product, took modularity, function, and design to the next level.

A new rumor surfaced yesterday that claimed the iPhone 15 would open up fast wireless charging speeds to all 15W Qi chargers. Now a new report provides a likely explanation for how this will work.

Apple has a major change in store for the iPhone 15 when it comes to charging. That’s because Apple is all but guaranteed to change the charging port for the first time since the iPhone 5. Switching from Lightning to USB-C might not be the only charging change in store, however.

Two new iPhone in-car accessories have arrived from mophie today with the headlining product being the wireless charging vent mount with MagSafe. Exclusive to Apple Stores and mophie’s website, check out a closer look at this 15W wireless MagSafe car charger with a clever extension arm.

I have reviewed countless 3-in-1, 4-in-1, and all-in-one chargers that promise to be the best, from no-name brands to higher-end brands. For the most part, they get the job done. They are able to charge my three Apple devices, my iPhone, my AirPods, and my Apple Watch. But with each one there is always a sacrifice. Either it’s too expensive, made of the wrong material, the LED indicators are too bright, the stand doesn’t swivel enough, etc. But it seems like Zeera’s new VOXN Charging Station checks off pretty much every box I would ever need. Here’s what sets it apart from the rest.

Nomad has launched its latest official MagSafe charger for iPhone today: Stand One. Like Base One, Stand One features a premium metal and glass build with a weighty design that feels like a sculpture that juices up your iPhone. Follow along for a hands-on look at the Nomad Stand One.

Apple’s Continuity Camera feature on macOS Ventura added the ability to use an iPhone as the Mac’s webcam. Belkin worked with Apple to create MagSafe mounts that let you easily position your iPhone in place for this feature. There are two different mount styles, and each one has its own hidden feature.

In January, OtterBox announced its latest take on iPhone protection. Now the new OtterGrip Symmetry Case is available with 3x military-grade drop protection and a handy built-in grip that works with MagSafe. I’ve been testing it out for the last few weeks, here’s a hands-on look at OtterGrip for iPhone.

Zens has launched three new multi-device chargers with official MagSafe support and more. The 2-in-1 Travel Charger is a clever compact way to power up iPhone and Apple Watch on the go. And the new 4-in-1 Charging Station offers power for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods in a sleek design.

Scosche unveiled a number of new Apple accessories this morning at CES. The flagship product is the second-generation BaseLynx modular charging station for iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch, MacBooks, and more that comes MagSafe, a slicker metal-accented design, and more power.

OtterBox has announced at CES its latest innovation for iPhone protection. The new OtterGrip Symmetry case with 3x military-grade drop protection includes a handy built-in grip without giving up MagSafe compatibility.
