The Apple iPhone is incredibly versatile, especially with the right gear to get the most out of the smartphone. And since 2020, Apple has made attaching accessories to the device easier, thanks to MagSafe technology.
What is MagSafe? It’s an Apple standard that wirelessly transfers power from the iPhone (iPhone 12 and up) to accessories (and vice versa) magnetically. This means accessories will stay in place more securely and line up perfectly with the back of the iPhone, which means no more trial and error to get the best fit and placement. It just attaches flawlessly with the power of magnets.
Ahead, you’ll find our picks for the best MagSafe accessories for the Apple iPhone to get more out of the mobile device. Whether you need something to turn your phone into a MacBook camera upgrade, or a multi-device charging station to simplify traveling, we’ve found something for every scenario.
Best for TikTok and Instagram
Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand Pro
The Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand Pro is a very cool and useful way to make self-tracking videos for TikTok, Instagram, Zoom and other apps with your Apple iPhone.
It uses MagSafe and NFC (Near Field Communication), so all you have to do is attach your iPhone and Belkin’s Auto-Tracking Stand Pro will track and follow your body and face.
Best Battery Pack
Anker Magnetic Battery
Looking to get more juice out of your iPhone? The Anker magnetic battery provides Apple mobile devices with nearly twice as much battery life for when you can’t find a wall outlet. Just snap it onto the back of a MagSafe-equipped iPhone to get an instant charge when you’re on the go.
It even doubles as a kickstand to prop up your phone when watching videos or taking a video call.
Best 3-in-1 Charging
Belkin BoostCharge Pro
Wouldn’t it be great if you could charge your iPhone and its accessories simultaneously bin one place? The Belkin BoostCharge Pro is a three-in-one charging solution for the iPhone, Apple AirPods Pro and Apple Watch. It also looks elegant on a nightstand or office desk, thanks to its floating design.
Best For Traveling
Anker MagSafe Charger Stand
If you travel a lot, then you know carting round multiple devices can be a pain — especially when they each need to be charged. Instead of packing several chargers and wall outlets, just pack the Anker MagSafe charger stand to charge up to three devices when traveling domestically.
Its cube-shaped design makes it compact and packable, while its foldable design offers functionality.
Best For Cars
iOttie Velox Pro
Although using a docked iPhone for hands-free maps and GPS when driving is very useful, it can sometimes be clumsy if your Apple smartphone isn’t secure. Enter the iOttie Velox Pro, a MagSafe dash and windshield car mount for iPhone.
It keeps your device safe and secure when driving, thanks to magnets, while also cool and usable with “CryoFlow” cooling technology. The car mount is also adjustable to give you an optimal at-a-glance view of your iPhone.
Best Portable TriPod
Moft Snap Phone Tripod Stand Movas
The Moft Snap Phone Tripod Stand Movas is a quick and easy iPhone stand that’s foldable and compact. It attaches to the back of an iPhone via MagSafe, and it’s designed to stay out of the way when you don’t need it and keep it stable and secure when you do. The stand is also flexible and adjustable. It comes in four colors, including misty cove white, jet black, seafoam green and sapphire blue.
Best For MacBooks
Belkin iPhone Mount
Over the years, Apple has made the iPhone work better with a MacBook, especially with the Continuity Camera feature, which lets you use the camera on the iPhone as the MacBook’s webcam.
With MagSafe accessories like the Belkin iPhone Mount, you can securely place the iPhone at the top of a MacBook for better camera positions in landscape and portrait modes. It even doubles as a ring holder for a better grip or a kickstand to watch videos on a desk.
Best For One-handed Stability
PopSockets Phone Grip
Speaking of grip, the PopSockets Phone Grip is an iconic iPhone accessory that comes in MagSafe now for security and stability. It goes on the back of your iPhone for a better one-handed grip. (Think of it as a handle for your smartphone.) And since it’s MagSafe, it’s easier to swap out for another color or design.
