With the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series, Apple had offered the MagSafe charging solution. While this feature is useful, most normal cases for these devices block the magnet inside the iPhones. But now, here’s an affordable accessory that turns even regular phone cases into MagSafe compatible ones.
The accessory in question is made by Anker and is basically a magnetic ring that can be attached to the back of the case. This make the MagSafe functional again on a regular phone case. This gadget is called the Anker 310 Magnetic Ring and is currently available for purchase via Amazon for a price of just 8 US Dollars. It arrives with an adhesive on one side, which you can stick to the back of the case. Although, you’ll have to use the the included alignment tool to position it properly.
After doing this, users can simply charge their iPhones with a MagSafe accessory from the case itself. Notably, Anker claims that this stick is also reusable so you can even switch out cases for another since the accessory can be removed and reattached. However, keep in mind that there is a limitation. iPhones with a thick case or one with a textured back would not be able to use MagSafe regardless of the new Anker accessory.
As per the official notes, “Phone cases that have an uneven surface or exceed 2mm in thickness, such as Otterbox defender cases, are not recommended for use.” Apart from that, an iPhone 12 and 13 series model is the basic requirements since earlier iPhone iterations do not offer in built MagSafe solution support.
