Belkin this week updated its website with a range of new MagSafe-compatible accessories that are set to launch in the near future, adding to the number of available Belkin-branded magnetic add-ons available for Apple devices.
It's important to note that unlike Belkin's Car Vent Mount Pro and Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 and 2-in-1 MagSafe charging options, these new accessories are magnetic and work with MagSafe, but they're not officially MagSafe-branded accessories.
Along with these charging accessories, Belkin is introducing a $34.99 Magnetic Fitness Phone Mount that does not offer charging capabilities but allows an iPhone 12 to be mounted to a fitness device like an exercise bike, and the $64.99 Face Tracking Magnetic Phone Mount, a magnetic accessory that Belkin says uses face recognition tracking to rotate and adjust to shoot video content from any angle.
The Face Tracking Magnetic Phone Mount and Belkin-designed app are designed to follow a your movements while recording video to make sure you stay in the frame at all times.
There are no release dates for any of these magnetic accessories and they can't be purchased at this time, but Belkin says they're "coming soon."

Agreed. Belkin has been the sole 3rd party vendor that offered full speed MagSafe charging products. Odd that even Magnetic Portable Wireless Charger Pad ('https://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-WIA005/') ($29.99 for the cable only) and Magnetic Wireless Charger Stand ('https://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-WIB003/') ($34.99 for the stand only) are limited to 7.5W charging.
$50 for 2500mAh wireless portable charging AND at 7.5w max when a 10'500mAh device does the same for $20 more?
BOTH are ugly but Belkin's pricing is asinine.
I don’t think it’s ugly at all. The one I was taking about. what is 20$ more? This gives you the charger so you don’t need to pay more for a MagSafe puck, which I don’t like being white in the first place. The price for the boost charge is 35$. I have plenty of charging bricks for it.
I wonder if MagSafe’s limited magnetic strength is limiting what brands are able to do design-wise for new products and uses? I would have thought that there would be tons of add-ons flooding the market, but do recognize that the ease with which you can break the bond can be problematic for any number of device scenarios.
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
