During the premiere of this year’s smartphones from the iPhone family 12, Apple also talked about a completely new solution for the company, which took a well-known name to Mac users. MagSafe, because this particular technology is at stake, will allow you to use the inductive charger in a rather unusual way. Well, it will be literally “attached” to the smartphone housing using a magnetic connector. Of course, not only standard wireless chargers are involved, but also car chargers. This is of course not all, because the giant from Cupertino also presented other accessories that can be used here and it looks like it will not stop there.

Unfortunately, the project expired before it “really” started, although the idea was partially used by Motorola in the case of Moto Mods. Modules attached to the backs of the device, such as a projector, powerbank or JBL speakers, did not turn out to be as tempting for customers as expected. Apparently the market was not yet ready for this and the manufacturer did not gain sufficient customer confidence. Today we absorb innovation like never before, which is why Apple can provide a similar solution.

At the moment, the company showed an attached case for payment cards and a wireless magnetic charger. However, the company wants to go further. One of the Apple patent applications shows us a module attached with MagSafe, equipped with a place for wireless charging of Apple AirPods headphones. This means that the giant can build a veritable ecosystem of various accessories in the form of modules. Yes, exactly as Motorola did. The difference, however, is the reach and power of convincing the market to its own solutions, and these are the issues that Growers advise
