iPhone Duo, because it offers a much larger internal display, means there are tons of new use cases that you wouldn’t normally encounter with your iPhone. Of course, one of these is the fact that you may want to prop up your iPhone Duo to watch a video on the larger display.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about an accessory that solves the tripod problem. That said, what if you want to charge and prop up your phone at the same time?
On the iPhone Duo, the charging port is located at the bottom of the device, so you can’t charge and hold the phone upright at the same time, unless you want to use it upside down. However, this creates a new problem: button placement.
For the past few weeks I’ve been trying out ESR’s MagSafe drive with a built-in kickstand. It supports 25W Qi2 charging and also offers active cooling.
While this accessory isn’t exclusively useful for the iPhone Duo, it’s great on the iPhone Duo for three reasons:
- The kickstand allows you to prop up your phone for content
- Active cooling keeps your iPhone Duo cooler, which can sometimes be a problem
- You can take advantage of MagSafe to charge your phone while watching your video, without worrying about the bottom charging port
If you don’t use it with an iPhone Duo, it’s still an incredible charger. It can fast charge an iPhone 18 Pro to 50% in just 25 minutes.
If you want to purchase one of the ESR MagSafe chargers, you can purchase one in white, black, or burgundy. White and Black are available for $36.99 on Amazon, while Burgundy is available for $42.99 on Amazon.
