- Yo, Jonathan here.
And last last week the iPhone 12 lineup
became officially official.
This week though it is time to go hands on.
So Apple actually split this launch in half.
Right now in October, we get these 6.1 inch iPhone 12's,
the non-pro and the Pro.
And then in November, we get the adorable
5.4 inch iPhone 12 Mini,
which I am super excited to check out
and the biggest boy, the 6.7 inch iPhone 12 Pro Max.
So I've been using the 12 Pro for about a week now.
Spoiler alert, it's faster.
That A14 Bionic flies.
There are better cameras.
We have that squared off iPhone 5S design
which is beautiful, that Pacific blue.
(smooches)
But those are all things
that we're used to seeing by now, right?
It better be the best iPhone ever, or why launch one?
Something that is completely new across the lineup though
and something that I kind of love is MagSafe.
So across the entire iPhone 12 lineup,
the Mini, the 12, the 12 Pro and the 12 Pro Max,
packed inside are magnetic coils
which you can actually see right here.
That of course allows you to do things like this.
(phone chimes)
This is the new MagSafe charger
that launched alongside the phones this year
and what it does is allows you
to magnetically, wirelessly charge the phones
with up to 15 Watts of power.
In classic Apple fashion, there's attention to detail
with those little things.
Everything from the animation
that happens when you set it down,
to the sound which is oddly satisfying.
(magnet snaps) (phone chimes)
- Oh.
(imitates phone chiming)
The MagSafe charger itself looks like what would happen
if Rick Moranis has got a hold of it, half of watch charger
but more importantly, the magnetic
connection is Jesse Pinkman approved.
For real though, once you snap that sucker
on it is not going anywhere to the
point where you could dangle it
upside down, you could Miley Cyrus it
In itself kind of leads me
to my next point, after using this all weekend because
of the magnetic functionality, more importantly, because
of how secure it is, it almost feels like you're plugged
in. If that makes sense
right? So with a typical wireless charger
you set it down flat and you can maybe use the phone
if you're propped over it or you buy a vertical charger.
But the problem is
once you take it off, the charge has gone with mr.
MagSafe here
though. You're free to use the phone.
And more importantly
in this case, because Apple has not ripped off the port
yet you have that lightning port open and free.
So because
of that, you're able to use a pair of lightning headphones
EarPods, or a DAC shout out to AudioQuest or beyond that.
Let's say you're using a Lightning to SD card adapter.
You can now transfer photos
and charge at the same time in terms of speed.
Again, you're getting up to 15 Watts
of wireless charging power, which is so much nicer than 7.5.
I get it.
We're not the crazy 600 Watts of wireless, fast charging
Android OnePlus side of things, but it's solid.
It's reliable, it's compact, it's slim and it stays cool.
And it's not
to the point where you're only going to do it overnight.
And again, more importantly
you still retain functionality with a phone while charging.
So this connects through USB-C.
And the one thing I'm not crazy about with this is the fact
that the cable itself is tied in and attached
to the puck it sizes and currently at one meter.
So it could be too long or too short
but at the very least, hopefully we'll see half meter
and two meter variants in the near future.
Now, while the magnetic functionality is limited
to the iPhone 12 lineup, it'll actually work
with older iPhones that support wireless charging
and maybe more durably.
It might be the perfect tiny wireless charging puck to pair
with AirPods
If you have a wireless charging case
beyond the wireless charging
though, MagSafe opens up an entirely new door
to accessories, both from Apple and third parties.
I got a chance to check out both the silicone case
and the clear case, which is definitely a choice.
If you don't mind Apple Park smacked directly on the back
of your phone with the cases that actually does two things
one those magnets attached
to the phone to line things up perfectly
but then you're also able to still charge wirelessly
with that case and not lose any speed.
As far as the leather wallet goes
that also of course attaches with magnets
but it does not allow you to charge at the same time.
Not sure why you'd want to
but just wanted to clear that up.
It's shielded.
So it's going to protect the
cards that you have inside there.
I would say you could comfortably fit three in there
maybe four, if you really jam, pack it in.
I don't know if personally I'm ready to go that minimal yet
but if you're into that, this might be a perfect option.
More importantly
it also doubles as a great standalone minimal wallet
just in case you don't want to attach it
to the phone from there though.
I think the more exciting thing is the possibility
at what accessories are coming.
Not just wallets
or phone cases, but everything from car chargers
or in my case, because I'm super into video tripod mounts
the same thing applies to car mounts again
it just opens up a whole door of accessories.
Like could you imagine a little tiny wireless MagSafe puck
with the battery inside.
Compare that to even Apple's battery case
it's just a completely different ball game from there.
I would love to hear what your
perfect dream MagSafe accessory would
or could be like, just go wild.
Aside from that though 12
and 12 pro coverage is coming at your faces very shortly.
So stay tuned for that.
