Nomad today announced the launch of the MagSafe Mount Stand, a new MagSafe charging accessory that's designed to integrate with Apple's MagSafe Charger.
Like Nomad's prior MagSafe Mount accessory, the MagSafe Stand is a holder for the MagSafe Charger rather than a standalone charging option. It is an upright stand with a cutout for the MagSafe Charger and a space to route the cord behind it.
The MagSafe Mount Stand is made from a dark gray aluminum material, and it is heavy enough to keep the MagSafe Charger well secured on a desk. An iPhone 12 used with the MagSafe Mount Stand can be oriented upright in either portrait or landscape mode, and the MagSafe Charger is held in place with microsuction.
Apple's MagSafe Charger is able to charge the iPhone 12 models at 15W (though the iPhone 12 mini is limited to 12W) so long as the proper 20W+ power adapter is supplied. You will need to supply your own MagSafe Charger and power adapter with the MagSafe Mount Stand.

In the fourth iOS 26.1 beta, Apple added a "Tinted" option that reduces the translucency of Liquid Glass for those who prefer a more opaque look. I saw some comments wondering whether the setting might preserve battery life, so I thought I'd do some testing.
Test Settings
I did four separate tests using the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and I kept the parameters as similar as possible. Here are the...

With its latest iPhone lineup, the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max feature 12GB of memory. This is a significant increase of 4GB more their predecessors, largely driven by the demands of on-device artificial intelligence processing.
The iPhone 17 is the only new...

So it’s $100 with the MagSafe. Before your marketing team comes up with a product and pricing, don’t let them have any mind altering stimulants. $60 for a holder. I got one on Amazon that looks great, does the same thing, and cost $12. Sorry, mine actually looks better.
As long as there is a phone on it i think it looks ok.. But with the phone off seeing that white magsafe in the middle would drive me crazy ? Slash the price with 50% and then i might consider it.
