The third-party market of MagSafe accessories continues to grow. This week, Belkin has officially started selling its in the United States. This ‘portable’ MagSafe charger features a clever design with a built-in kickstand, but a high price tag to go along with it…
Belkin’s MagSafe Charger Pad is Apple-certified, which means it can reach top speeds of 15W for charging on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. You also get what Belkin describes as an “extra long” 2m braided cable in the box, but you won’t find an actual charging brick itself.
Belkin explains:
This portable wireless charger pad was engineered with official MagSafe technology to deliver fast wireless charging up to 15W for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12, and allows you to keep using your phone while it charges thanks to a thoughtfully designed pop-up stand and an extra-long cable.
