Wallet looks nice but i don't feel like losing my ID and credit card.
A car mount that charges would be great. The rest of these don't add anything to the non-mag versions.
Holding out for a MagSafe car holder that wirelessly charges! I’m hugely disappointed that Belkin has said that they’re not making one with a charger.
I have two of iOttie’s mounts (non-Qi), and I really like them, but I’m looking forward to trying one that uses the MagSafe option. iOttie’s one-touch thing is good, but I’d rather not have to get my hand exactly right to remove, or accidentally trigger the arms before it’s fully in.FYI - both Scoshe and iOttie have Qi charging car mounts -- they're not Magsafe but the iOttie one ought to work with it fine since it's a clamp style mount. Scoshe version uses its own metal plates on the phone or in the case.
The Scosche is magnetic - magnets above and below the coil so no interference. Used to be Speck made a case specifically for the Scosche mount with the matching metal plates built in but I’ve seen nothing recently.I have two of iOttie’s mounts (non-Qi), and I really like them, but I’m looking forward to trying one that uses the MagSafe option. iOttie’s one-touch thing is good, but I’d rather not have to get my hand exactly right to remove, or accidentally trigger the arms before it’s fully in.
Seriously? it is solving the problem where I place my phone poorly on the charger and don't realize it isn't charging or I place it and knock it off in the night before it charges and in the morning I have a phone with little to no charge. That is what it is solving.It’s solving the problem of replacing the Lightning cable. Instead of switching to USB-C, I could see Apple having no charging port at all on future iPhones and just using the MagSafe charger.
Got the silicon case and it fits amazing, I’m so glad Apple went back to their roots with the square edges!
The MagSafe cable should work with any PD usb c charger that outputs enough power.MR, you forgot one other accessory. The 20W charging brick. According to your article yesterday, Magsafe doesn't work to it's full potential without it. So much for all those charging bricks iPhone users supposedly have lying around. /s
I have a couple by iOttie, and this is my latest favorite. And when I say “latest favorite,” I mean I bought it in 2016, and I still use it daily! The mount has fallen out of the vent maybe twice, and the phone has always stayed in the mount.Maybe it’s just me, but I have tried a wide variety of car mounts, including vent clips, adhesives, suction cups, and magnets, and not a single one has ever worked for me. The phone just falls right off within minutes. I have decided that it’s better to just let the phone lie flat and use CarPlay.
The puck only puts out 15W with the 20W USB-C adapter or another adapter that has the same pd profile. None of Apple's other USB-C adapters match that pd profile and none of them can deliver 15W to the 12 series iPhones.The MagSafe cable should work with any PD usb c charger that outputs enough power.

I was considering getting the wallet as well thinking I could finally ditch my wallet and carry around my license and a credit card or two. However, there is a video online with MKBHD and it shows how it easily falls off from the phone when placing it into a pocket.I'm tempted by the wallet since it would mean I'd only have to bring my keys and phone when I go out. Though I'm curious how it looks in real life and not online renders.
I saw that too. Didn’t need an MKBD video to note that though. It was the first thing I thought during the keynote. Magnets on a wallet are a horrible idea.I was considering getting the wallet as well thinking I could finally ditch my wallet and carry around my license and a credit card or two.

It’s probably best if you stick with the lightning cable.Now I finally understand what all the Apple Campuses are for.. I'm going to need college courses to teach me what the hell all these accessories do now since instead of headphones and a lightning cable I have to buy a circular magnetic wallet pocket dongly pop-sockety auto-charging hologram thing.
Charges twice as fast as Qi, that’s hardly underwhelming.MagSafe again proving to be utterly underwhelming! Not a surprise. But I'm sure they'll still make a killing off of these.
I don’t understand how the people in marketing said the clear case is something that can be sold. That magnet ring looks f’ng stupid.A rare occasion where I can genuinely say; "Steve would never have allowed this!"
