Scosche unveils several new iPhone MagSafe car mounts at CES 2022

Scosche Industries is kicking off CES 2022 with a new lineup of MagSafe-compatible versions of its MagicMount family of products, allowing owners of Apple’s latest iPhone models to easily anchor their smartphones in their cars without the need for special cases or magnetic plates.

First up is the MagicMount Pro Charge5, which is designed to both hold and charge the iPhone 12 and newer models using Apple’s MagSafe technology. Powerful Neodymium magnets align with the MagSafe ring of magnets in the iPhone to securely hold the device in place while driving, and Scosche has engineered the MagSafe attachment to handle everything from the smaller iPhone mini to the full-sized iPhone Pro Max.

The Charge5 is also fully MagSafe-certified, so it can fast-charge an iPhone 12 or later at full 15W speeds. Scosche has included a bonus 20W USB-C charging port to let you power up a second device at the same time.

Although owners of recent iPhone models will get the most from the MagicMount Pro Charge5, as with prior Scosche mounts, it’s also capable of charging any Qi-enabled iPhone or Android phone. These can be attached using the included Scosche MagicPlate. The MagicMount Pro Charge 5 will be available this spring in four mounting options at an MSRP of $65.

For those looking for a secure mount without built-in charging, the new MagicMount Pro MagSafe offers the same strong Neodymium magnets to hold an iPhone 12 or newer device securely in place. The Scosche MagicPlate is also included to offer compatibility with older iPhone models and Android smartphones. The MagicMount Pro MagSafe mounts will be available this spring in three mounting options at an MSRP of $45.

Finally, Scosche’s MagicMount MSC offers a solution for folks who are willing to supply their own Apple MagSafe charger. This mount features the same strong Neodymium magnets as Scosche’s other MagSafe mounts, which securely hold both an Apple MagSafe charger and an iPhone 12 or newer, so that you can keep your iPhone accessible and powered up at the same time.

The MagicMount MSC head swivels 360 degrees to allow you to view your iPhone in portrait or landscape orientation while still keeping the MagSafe charger properly aligned, so the iPhone remains firmly held in place. The MagicMount MSC is coming in February at an MSRP of $35.

Scosche’s new MagicMount accessories will also be available in a variety of mounting options, including Windows/Dash, Cup Holder, Dash/Vent, Telescoping, and more.

So, what do the experts make of the new iPhone 16e?
Apple's iPhone 16e, released in February 2025.

The iPhone 16e is finally here. Apple released the long-awaited successor to the iPhone SE 3 on Wednesday, and tech sites everywhere have been quick to have their say.

In case you missed the unveil, the new handset, called the iPhone 16e, is Apple Intelligence-ready and features a 6.1-inch OLED display (with a notch) that, in a first for the renamed SE series, covers the entire front of the handset. But the iPhone 16e starts at $599, which is $170 more than the iPhone SE 3 that it's replaced.

Does the iPhone 16e have wireless charging?
iPhone SE 4

The iPhone 16e is officially here, and now that we know not only that it's on the way and when to expect it, we can answer any burning questions you might have about Apple's latest budget-friendly phone. It's come as quite the surprise for many, with most folks expecting the next iPhone SE. Instead, we've gotten another member of the iPhone 16 family with slightly reduced specs and a nicely reduced price.
Does the iPhone 16e have wireless charging?

Yes, like all modern models of the iPhone, the iPhone 16e will support wireless charging. However, it doesn't support MagSafe charging — a feature that has practically become an industry standard. Why Apple made this decision isn't clear, but it leaves the 16e in a strange position where it's part of a flagship family, but is missing something even low-end phones offer.

Why I’m sad this delightful iPhone camera is about to go away

When Apple replaces the current iPhone SE (2022) with a new version, it seems increasingly likely it’ll mark the end of an era, because the SE as we know it is the only current iPhone still available with a 12-megapixel camera on the back. Once a mainstay of all iPhones, the 12MP camera is about to be completely superseded by the 48MP camera. You may be surprised to hear I’m going to miss it, so let me explain why.
The end is near

Several months after the iPhone SE (2022) came out, Apple released the iPhone 14 series and it put a 12MP camera on the non-Pro models, just as it had done since the iPhone 6S. While you can still buy the iPhone 14 new today, it was the last brand new device to launch with a 12MP camera, and when the iPhone 15 came along all the models received a 48MP main camera. Unlike the iPhone 14, the iPhone SE (2022) has lived on as a current phone since then, and is only now about to be replaced.
