A new MagSafe-compatible accessory, highlighted in a recent article titled “This MagSafe Accessory Adds 7 Ports to Your iPhone” by Startup News FYI, is offering iPhone users an expanded range of connectivity options, potentially transforming how smartphones interface with peripherals. The device, developed by boutique tech manufacturer Infinity Labs, integrates seven unique ports into a compact MagSafe module, essentially converting an iPhone into a full-fledged mobile workstation.
Designed to magnetically attach to the back of iPhone models equipped with Apple’s MagSafe technology, the accessory includes a mix of USB-C, HDMI, SD card, microSD, audio jack, and Lightning ports, as well as a standard USB-A input. The configuration caters to both professional and casual users who require enhanced input/output capabilities, such as photographers transferring content on the go, or business travelers seeking to present via HDMI without carrying a laptop.
This innovation reflects the growing demand among mobile users for device multitasking, especially as smartphones become increasingly central to content creation and productivity. Apple has steadily transitioned its ecosystem toward USB-C with recent iPad and Mac models, and Infinity Labs’ device appears to align with that trend, even while accommodating legacy standards through its hybrid port selection.
While not officially endorsed by Apple, the accessory received early praise from tech reviewers for its lightweight design and cohesion with the aesthetic of the iPhone. The magnetic connection ensures stability during use without the need for cables or clamps, though durability and long-term compatibility with future iPhone designs remain questions among early adopters.
Startup News FYI reports that Infinity Labs plans a limited release via crowdfunding before broader availability. With an expected retail price around $129, the product enters a fiercely competitive market of external hubs and mobile add-ons. Still, if consumer interest in high-function mobile computing continues to rise, such a MagSafe solution could represent a niche but influential step toward a new kind of mobile hardware modularity.
As the boundary between smartphones and laptops continues to blur, accessories like this could influence how tech companies approach the future of mobile ecosystems. Powered by consumer interest in flexible, all-in-one tools, the market may be poised to see more hybridized solutions that maximize utility without compromising mobility.
