Apple's iPhone 12 Pro debuts MagSafe (Photo Budrul Chukrut/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty) , [+] Images) SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesThese details come from a patent recently granted to Apple. The obvious stabilizer used in the patent drawing is a tripod, but gimbals, piers, and drone attachments are also discussed. The iPhone version of MagSafe launched with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models in 2020, using rare-earth magnets to allow peripherals to be easily attached and detached to the back of the iPhone. As with all patents, there is no guarantee that this iPhone adapter will reach the market, either directly from Apple or licensed by Apple to another manufacturer. Yet this product seems more viable than other patented products; Hopefully, this Apple adapter will arrive soon.
