iPhonedo tests the Apple-approved Belkin Car Vent Mount PRO with MagSafe on LA’s bumpy roads. From the video it seems like the initial worries about MagSafe’s magnets being too weak to hold the phone to the mount during a bumpy car ride are overblown.

Posted November 23rd, 2020 by Ryu at 7:50 pm in Editorial. 0 CommentsThe Apple product year has largely ended.

Posted November 9th, 2020 by Ryu at 1:16 am in iPhone 12. 0 CommentsSeriously? This is created in the style of the Apple Watch Studio, where you can “build” your perfect Apple Watch case and band combination, and then purchase it straight from Apple.
