Besides keeping your hand steady when using your iPhone’s camera, the accessory also comes with a button that can be used to snap photos and start recording. The Stage Power Grip uses the MagSafe magnet to attach to the iPhone and also works as a 10000 mAh power bank. Talk about the Swiss Army Knife of accessories! It also comes with a USB-C cable that can be used to charge your iPhone and other devices as well.
It should come as no surprise that the Stage Power Grip also doubles as a stand propping up your phone so you can take timed photos of yourself. You can also use the accessory tokeep your iPhone propped up so that you can binge-watch videos. Since it does work as a power bank, the accessory has a separate battery from the one powering your iPhone and a small LED screen tells you how much battery life remains on the Stage Power Grip. Belkin hasn’t officially released a price for the accessory but did say it hopes to keep the price under $80.
Belkin is owned by a subsidiary of contract manufacturer Foxconn. The company also announced that it will release other accessories during the second quarter including a couple of new chargers. The BoostCharge Compact USB-C charger fits in your hand, uses foldable prongs, and delivers 45W ($29.99) or 65W ($39.99) of power based on the model you select.
The BoostCharge Pro Wireless Charging Pad supports Qi2 wireless charging and will charge your device at 15W. This accessory features a kickstand allowing you to view content on your phone while it is charging. It also features an extra-long integrated 6.6ft/2m USB-C cable.
Also among the new products announced is a 20000 mAh power bank named the BoostCharge Power Bank 20K. This power bank supports Power Delivery (PD) and comes with a integrated USB-C cable. With the large battery capacity, this power bank delivers up to three full charges and 87 additional hours of battery life. This accessory will arrive in April priced at $49.99.
