ESR launches MagSafe compatible wireless charging mount — Apple World Today

ESR’s car mount is compatible with Apple’s MagSafe cases and chargers, HaloLock accessories feature a magnetic ring that automatically aligns the iPhone 12’s charging coil with the charger.

ESR CEO Tim Wu says HaloLock works seamlessly with MagSafe to make charging the iPhone 12 as easy as tapping it to the mount. Previous magnetic mounts required an additional magnetic plate on the back that interfered with wireless charging, whereas the ESR car mount, when paired with an official Apple MagSafe case or an ESR HaloLock case, combines the convenience of a magnetic mount and wireless charging into a single easy-to-use device, he adds.

The HaloLock system includes a car charger (US $39.99), a charging pad ($23.99), and a 2-in-1 wireless charger (available in early November). It also includes a magnetic version of the CLOUD Soft Case ($19.99). Wu says there are plans to add HaloLock to other cases from ESR’s lineup of 10+ iPhone 12 cases in the future.
