Apple has released a number of products so far, but most of them are sophisticated with attention to detail, and 9to5Mac points out that it is 'Apple-like'. 'MagSafe ' announced at the same time as the iPhone 12 series that appeared in 2020 is that compatible accessories and chargers can be attached to the back of the iPhone with a magnet, and various compatible accessories will appear at the time of announcement. It was expected.



However, even though more than a year has passed since the announcement of MagSafe, the variety of compatible accessories has not increased so much. So 'Apple even seems to be ignoring MagSafe accessories,' 9to5Mac points out. In addition to the small lineup of 9to5Mac, Apple feels that it should focus more on MagSafe accessories.

Released at the same time as the announcement of MagSafe accessories, the '

MagSafe compatible iPhone leather wallet ' makes it possible to carry physical cards such as credit cards and IC cards with the iPhone. At the same time as the announcement of the iPhone 13 series in 2021, a MagSafe compatible iPhone leather wallet that supports 'search ' was also announced, but the old model MagSafe compatible iPhone leather wallet released in 2020 does not support 'search'. It remains.

Therefore, 9to5Mac says, 'Even though both have NFC tags, the old model does not support' search '. It is uncertain whether Apple will update the old model in any way, but at the time of writing the article Only new models released just a year later support 'find', which feels very strange. '



Another MagSafe accessory that raises questions is the

MagSafe Dual Charging Pad for 9to5Mac. The 9to5Mac says, 'It's very convenient to be able to charge your iPhone or AirPods and your Apple Watch at the same time, but two drawbacks bother me. One is that you can put your device on the MagSafe dual charging pad at the same time, but two. The other is that it doesn't fit properly when the iPhone 13 Pro is placed, in that it cannot be charged quickly at the same time. '

When you charge the iPhone 13 Pro with the genuine case with the MagSafe dual charging pad, the protruding part of the main camera will interfere with the charging pad as shown in the picture below, and it will not stick perfectly. However, it can be charged even though it is slightly raised.



Marques Brownlee, a gadget YouTuber, also reported on his Twitter that the MagSafe dual charging pad will not stick perfectly when the genuine case is attached to the iPhone 13 Pro.



9to5Mac points out that 'it's very strange that Apple couldn't predict that this would happen only on the iPhone 13 Pro,' because other iPhones don't have this problem.

In addition, 9to5Mac complains about the 'MagSafe Battery Pack'. The MagSafe Battery Pack is an iPhone charging accessory that succeeds the Smart Battery Case from the iPhone 11 series and earlier. However, he pointed out that 9to5Mac 'is not a legitimate successor.' The reason 9to5Mac cites is that 'iPhone cannot be fully charged to 100%'. In addition, in the case of iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini, 9to5Mac points out that the MagSafe battery pack slightly protrudes from the terminal, but users point out that 'MagSafe to 12 mini and 13 mini' If you install the battery pack, the width will be perfect. '



9to5Mac points out that 'MagSafe accessories are a very cool idea, but Apple should pay more attention to its details.'

On the other hand, from the user, 'It is strange to ask for support because it did not support' search 'when the MagSafe compatible iPhone leather wallet was released.' 'The firmware update of the MagSafe charger was possible. 'I was impressed by Apple's comments,' 'Belkin's wireless charger can quickly charge two terminals at the same time.' 'Apple has just started throwing out a new standard that it devised. There are even criticisms such as 'It's not', and the reaction is diverse.
