Make older iPhones and iPads MagSafe compatible

It’s one of Apple’s simplest inventions, but one of the greatest: MagSafe.

Using humble magnets to secure chargers and accessories to your iPhone is one of my favorite features of all time.

It’s so simple, yet so useful. No longer do you have to hunt for the charging sweet spot. You can quickly stick your iPhone to a car mount or attach a stand to prop it on a tabletop.

Alas, not all of Apple’s devices with wireless charging have MagSafe. Nor do non-Apple devices like Android phones or Fire tablets.

But now you can make older iPhones and iPads work seamlessly with MagSafe accessories with the MagEasy Hoop MagSafe Adhesive Ring.

And you can get it right now in the Cult of Mac Store for just $15.
