Moment, known for its lineup of camera lenses and accessories for Apple's iPhones, today announced the launch of a new series of MagSafe cases and mounts designed for the iPhone 12 models.
The MagSafe-compatible iPhone cases from Moment are designed to be thin and light with a soft touch texture. There's a wrist strap connection at the bottom and an included lens mount to make the case and the iPhone 12 compatible with M-series lenses. Two models are available, including a thinner version and a more rugged protective model that better protects the bottom of the phone.
Along with cases, Moment is introducing Tripod Mounts that attach magnetically using what it says is a proprietary magnet that is stronger than standard accessories. It works with standard 1/4"-20 tripods or handles and a Pro version includes a cold shoe arm.
There's a Multi Threaded Mount with extra strong magnets and five female threads on the front to allow the iPhone to connect to tripods, rig mounts, ball heads, and other photography equipment, while a Cold Shoe Mount lets you mount a light or a microphone.
For use in the car, there's a Car Vent Mount that has the same strong magnetic connection and that attaches to the car's air vents using a rubberized fit attachment, and for use at home, there's a wall mount that includes a strong magnet on one side and 3M adhesive on the other so the iPhone can be attached to anything.
Following nearly two years of rumors about a fourth-generation iPhone SE, The Information today reported that Apple suppliers are finally planning to begin ramping up mass production of the device in October of this year. If accurate, that timeframe would mean that the next iPhone SE would not be announced alongside the iPhone 16 series in September, as expected. Instead, the report...

Apple typically releases its new iPhone series around mid-September, which means we are about two months out from the launch of the iPhone 16. Like the iPhone 15 series, this year's lineup is expected to stick with four models – iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max – although there are plenty of design differences and new features to take into account. To bring ...

That's the kind of accessories I was waiting for when Apple announced MagSafe. March is still a long way to go but it's nice to see things already announced.
And the car mount ('https://www.shopmoment.com/products/car-vent-mount-for-magsafe') is STILL not a charging mount. What is with these companies not adding Qi charging? I truly don’t get it.
iOttie got back to me last week, saying they’re working on a Qi charging MagSafe car vent mount, but who knows when that’ll be out. They’re the only bright spot so far.
Apple has not released the MagSafe charging spec on how to enable 15w charging. We could make a magnetic 7.5w Qi charger, but it would not technically be MagSafe. We're looking at it as soon as apple releases it. Same for the NFC features. - Moment Product Team

We're aiming for a January ship date, but we added some buffer just in case we get surprised with these magnets. The polarization is unique, in that every magnet has 4 poles and an area in the middle with no magnetization. Regular off the shelf magnets won't work properly for this.
