Apple's online store is offering a range of new accessories this week, several of which are exclusive to Apple and can't be purchased elsewhere.

For charging up an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, Apple is offering the Nimble Podium 3-in-1 Charger. Priced at $140, the charger comes in black or a multicolor option with shades of blue and white, and it is made from recycled plastic and aluminum.

There's a Qi2 magnetic charger that is compatible with MagSafe iPhones and able to charge them at up to 15W, along with a fast charger for compatible Apple Watch models. The AirPods platform charges the AirPods at 5W. The iPhone and Apple Watch charging pucks can be used while upright or folded flat, and because of the folding mechanism, this has the potential to work well for travel. The charger ships with a USB-C to USB-C cable and a 36W USB-C power adapter.

For charging on the go, Apple is offering an exclusive MagGo Power Bank from Anker, which is priced at $50. The MagGo comes in either blue or white, and it offers Qi2 charging at up to 15W. There is a 5,000mAh battery inside that will add extra power to an iPhone, and it's super slim compared to other magnetic power banks so it won't add too much bulk to an iPhone. There is a USB-C port for charging purposes, and while it comes with a USB-C cable, you'll need to supply your own power adapter.

If you have an Apple Vision Pro, you might be interested in the latest Vision Pro carrying case that Apple's offering through its online store. The von Holzhausen Carry Sling for Vision Pro is much more svelte than Apple's carrying case, though it is expensive at $180. The carrying case is described as "ultra compact," with a space for the headset and band, a slot for the battery, and extra internal and external pockets for accessories.

Crafted from lightweight plant-based bamboo material, the sling can be worn crossbody or as a shoulder bag, and it has a removable strap and retractable grab handle so it can also be tucked inside a backpack or a suitcase. There is a padded interior with a microfiber liner to keep everything inside safe.

The new products are available from Apple's online store, and in some Apple retail locations for immediate pickup.

Gotta say that svelte is my word of the day.

The Apple case for Vision Pro is really great. They should really get into luggage.
 
Pretty sure Von Holzhausen is owned by the lead designer of Tesla, it's his side company haha. There's a lot of overlap between Apple and Tesla, and they actually tried to buy Tesla in 2013 at $240/share (pre-split)

Yeah it's a company founded by Franz and his wife. They also offer the ability to redo your interior of your Tesla with their vegan leather. Seems pretty nice quality overall.

does the battery pack actually charge at 15W wirelessly?

have yet to see any 5K battery pack do 15W without being plugged in, yet they keep advertising 15W. only 10K batteries do 15W wireless from every one I've tested.

For the prices they charge it better be real leather and I want to pick the cow myself. Vegan is a scam- its just plastic.

There are many variations of leather alternatives, some are plastic, some are not and their durability varies wildly. I don’t think it’s ok to not clearly disclose what the material is. ”Vegan leather” only tells you what it’s not.

Although, calling the micro layer of coating on Apple’s ”leather link” watch straps leather is a stretch too. Those things last half a year to a year before they wear through and look like dog****. Pretty sure the price per weight ratio favors the Tesla interior in comparison.
 
Hmm I'll need to look into that Anker MagGo. I already have a MagSafe battery pack but its weight and thickness are a tad too far in the annoying range for how I want to use it. I want to find the lightest thinnest battery possible. Perhaps this Anker is it.
 
The carry bag for Vision Pro is too expensive. The power bank from Anker seems to be good. Blue colour is nice. As for the 3 in 1 charger, not sure whether it is good. I would prefer to buy Belkin.

Don't really understand how that Anker MagGo can be compatible with iPhone 12 and 13 mini.
Must look like absolute **** with it attached.
