From the cases to the magnetic wallet, up to the wireless charger. A selection of the best accessories able to take advantage of the new MagSafe technology integrated by Apple in the new iPhone 12.
Among the most interesting innovations introduced with iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro there is certainly the MagSafe. This is a magnet placed on the back of all four devices belonging to the range. This adds an additional charging method and, in general, a very useful and absolutely unique “modular” component. In this guide, we will therefore list the best accessories currently available on the market and obviously compatible with the aforementioned technology.

The best MagSafe accessories for your new iPhone 12 series
The MagSafe brand is nothing new at Apple. Long-time fans of the Cupertino company will remember the MacBook power supplies of a few years ago, characterized by a magnetic coupling. The advantage was that they could be connected to notebooks almost without looking and, at the same time, avoid dropping the computer in case of tripping over the wire. Since generation 2016, this solution has been replaced by USB-C and this technology has never been heard of again. Until the presentation of the iPhone 12.
Here is therefore a new family of accessories with which, for example, you can magnetically hook a credit card holder to an iPhone 12 Pro Max. But the scenarios are potentially infinite.
We have therefore selected the best accessories (among those available at the moment) able to take advantage of MagSafe technology.

Apple MagSafe Power Adapter
Let’s start with the most popular and useful MagSafe accessory for the new iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Mini and 12 Pro Max. It is the MagSafe: the power supply. This Apple device comes with a very simple design (similar to the Apple Watch power supply) and well-finished, but above all with refined and decidedly quality materials.
A small headband that hooks magnetically to the rear body and recharges the smartphone battery through induction. Taking advantage in turn of a USB-C cable, it is able to recharge quickly with a power of up to 15W (Watt). The power supply must obviously be connected to the electrical socket or to a power bank.
Its price is certainly not very low, but by Apple’s standards, it doesn’t seem to be that exaggerated either. Obviously compatible with Qi wireless charging and therefore potentially usable with any device equipped with this technology (AirPods included). Want to know more and read user reviews?

Apple Transparent Case
At first glance, it looks like a classic transparent case for your new iPhone. It is, therefore, does not camouflage the color and design of the smartphone. In reality, however, it is equipped with a magnet capable of communicating with the MagSafe system. The advantage is, first of all, that of being able to insert it around the body immediately, without having to distort it a thousand times as is usually done with this type of accessories. But that is not all.
Thanks to the magnetic component it is perfectly compatible with wireless charging. It is therefore not necessary to remove the smartphone from the case to be able to recharge it through the induction mechanism. Want to know more and read user reviews? Just follow the link below.
Apple MagSafe silicone case
The operating principle is the same as the transparent case, but in this case, the material used is silicone on the outside, with a particular microfiber coating on the inside. Apple has made it – as per tradition – in many colors, ranging from Cyprus Green to Plum. Compared to the transparent one, it covers the design and coloring of the smartphone, but the pastel tones match very well with the new aesthetics of the devices.
It is equally compatible with wireless charging and right now is available for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. It will also arrive for the other two models. In addition, it is very likely that Apple will introduce more colors in view of the holiday season. Want to know more and read user reviews? Just follow the link below.
MagSafe wallet
How many times has it happened to you, especially while traveling, to use the space between the cover and your smartphone to insert a credit card or cash? Apple has seen fit to meet this need by creating a small leather wallet that magnetically attaches to the rear body of the iPhone 12 thanks to MagSafe technology.
You can attach it to the iPhone’s body but also to the transparent and silicone cases mentioned above. In addition, it is shielded so as not to demagnetize the cards. Four colors are available: Baltic Blue, California Sun, Tan, and Black. In this way, exquisitely chromatic, it will be easy to match it with the covers or the colors of the iPhones themselves.

Car vent holder Pro with MagSafe
We abandon the products developed by Apple for a company that actually works closely with the Cupertino house: Belkin. The latter in fact made two different accessories available right away. The first of the two is a car holder that includes MagSafe technology. Nothing revolutionary, but certainly comfortable to attach and detach iPhone 12 without too much difficulty.

3-in-1 wireless charger with MagSafe
Also from Belkin comes a desktop charging hub compatible with charging AirPods (simple Qi wireless charging), Apple Watch, and iPhone 12 (via MagSafe). Unfortunately currently only available on the company’s website, but we will update the guide when it will also available at Amazon. Want to know more and read user reviews?

OtterBox
We change brands once again to include one of the most famous cover makers in the United States. OtterBox has been offering several special proposals on the Apple website for years and once again this year it did not miss an important opportunity. The series is in fact available in four different colors, all very bright and decidedly youthful. Also, see the best iPhone 12 and 12 Pro cases with MagSafe support.
What MagSafe accessories for iPhone 12 you can expect in the future?
As you can see, the choice of MagSafe accessories is quite widespread these days. But as the ecosystem grows, what other accessories should we look for?
MagSafe PopSockets
We’re not sure how powerful magnets are on iPhones, but they can be strong enough to hold a PopSocket. That will be convenient because you can easily remove it if you don’t like it in some situations. But again, do you trust your phone to hang only from the magnets? We’ll find out soon.
MagSafe Controllers
Apple’s new chips are great for mobile gaming, but for the ultimate experience, you need a great controller. With MagSafe, you can easily place any iPhone 12 on the controller. This should also lead to a more compact design.
MagSafe Desk Organizers
Imagine a wireless desk organizer/charger that, instead of allocating space on your desk, mounts flat against the wall and your iPhone hangs as if floating and charging at the same time! We can almost guarantee that we will see something similar in the near future. All incoming notifications are clearly visible, which adds another point to the convenience column.
MagSafe back plates
Many people dislike using cases because they add bulk to their phones or hide their beautiful design. But on newer iPhones, you can have an extra slim plate with a unique design and it stays on the back like a second skin, generally allowing you to change the color of the phone at will. Of course, the more “fancy” backplates will have only metal, which will allow for wireless charging of magnets, but some can be fully metal for durability. In this scenario, having a bump chamber is really an advantage because it will ensure that the back plate does not move or slide easily.
MagSafe Power Bank
We have all seen people holding their phones and a power bank charging it at the same time. Apple already has battery cases, but with MagSafe in place, you can have a nice, slim power bank that attaches to your iPhone 12 and charges it wirelessly. Again, very convenient.
Those are just a few of the things that can be used for MagSafe, but we are sure there are many other applications that will become apparent in the months and years to come. We’re pretty sure the new MagSafe standard is here to stay, so no accessories you get will be compatible with the next generation of iPhones.
Conclusion
That’s all for now, friends. These are some of the best MagSafe accessories for the new iPhone 12, 12 Pro, Mini, and 12 Pro Max.
