Anker Launches MagGo Adapter: Boost iPhone Storage and 4K Recording for $34.99
September 14, 2024Anker has unveiled the MagGo USB-C Adapter, a compact, puck-shaped SD and microSD card reader designed for use with laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
This new adapter enhances the capabilities of the iPhone 16 and earlier models by adding microSD card reading functionality.
It serves as a cost-effective alternative to upgrading internal storage on iPhones, where a 1TB model can be significantly more expensive than a 128GB version.
The MagGo Adapter is MagSafe compatible, allowing it to attach securely to the back of an iPhone, which is particularly useful during video recording.
When used with the iPhone 15 or 16, the adapter supports ProRes 4K recording at 60fps, provided the memory card meets specific speed and capacity requirements.
Additionally, it features a USB-C port that can deliver up to 42.5W of power, compensating for the charging ports it blocks on the iPhone.
To protect the card slots from dust and dirt, the adapter comes with a snap-on cover.
This device is particularly beneficial for users needing extra storage while traveling or engaging in outdoor activities.
The MagGo USB-C Adapter is priced at $34.99 and is available on Amazon, with promotional discounts when purchased alongside other Anker accessories.
Its design includes a removable top for easy insertion of microSD or SD cards, emphasizing convenience for capturing and editing video.
While users with slower SD or microSD cards can still record externally, they may experience limitations in frame rates and resolution.
The adapter supports high-speed data transfer rates of up to 312MB/s, contingent on using USH-II rated memory cards, and allows for simultaneous syncing and charging.
