Apple rescued the Magsafe brand for iPhone with the launch of the iPhone 12. At the presentation event, they showed the Magsafe that is already on sale and that through its magnet system is capable of recharging an iPhone, but a Magsafe Duo was also announced capable of charging the Apple Watch as well. This accessory could be launched very soon.
Launching this Friday?
Apple still does not indicate on its website the release date of its new Magsafe Duo, however signs of an imminent launch have been found . This charger has recently successfully completed Korea National Radio Research Agency testing, which is a sign that the product is practically ready to go.
This Friday, at 2:00 p.m. Spanish time, the reservations of the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max will begin, which could be an excellent time to also put the Magsafe Duo on sale. The standard Magsafe accessory was put on sale at the time along with the pre-orders of the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, so this would not be surprising now. In fact, there have been products like the iPad Air that, without prior notice, was also put on the Apple Store online, precisely on the same reservation day of those mentioned iPhone.
More third party accessories to come
At the moment we will have to wait to see if what has been said about the launch of the Magsafe Duo is confirmed, but we must bear in mind that it will not be the only accessory of this type that we see on the market. Despite the fact that Apple has patented this type of accessories, its technology is open to all kinds of manufacturers who can create their own accessories. While there are already some who are starting to launch their own normal Magsafe, it is expected that they will also do so with one similar to the Magsafe Duo.
In fact, there are many advantages offered by the open license to create compatible accessories, since we can get to obtain mounts for cars, tripods and all kinds of accessories even if they are not from the Apple brand. All this taking advantage of the meticulous system of magnets that the iPhone 12 has on its back.
Some believe that these accessories are a replacement for the canceled AirPower, as well as a hint of a future iPhone without connectors. In any case we believe that they will be accessories of greater importance than perhaps it may seem at first.
