Some time ago with the announcement of MacOS Ventura, Apple was talking about the functionality of Continuity Camera with which we could use our iPhone as a webcam on our Macs. With the expected official release of macOS Ventura next week, Apple has started selling Belkin’s MagSafe mount to be able to attach it to our iPhone and place it on our Mac.
Although one of the shortcomings that we have highlighted most in recent years in the Mac range is the front camera for video calls, with this device we will have at hand to attach a (much) better camera to the Mac to make video calls, record to generate content and perform any other functions that require a camera with our laptops.
Despite the fact that Apple improved its front camera in the latest MacBook revision, being able to use the iPhone as a webcam gives our laptops greater versatility, to be able to place the camera in any other position even if it is not right in front of our face to be able to take different photos, to be able to show other backgrounds or even to be able to see what we want from our device in another room .
Belkin supports the functionality of Continuity Camera with a device that supports MagSafe and very small in size. Plus, it can be used to place the iPhone horizontally on any surface, not just as a hook for the Mac.
It is a very complete accessory which, At the moment it is only available in the US Apple Store but it will surely expand to other countries soon. Its price in this Apple Store is $29.95.
We’ll see if Apple continues to bet (and I say bet because it also promotes the development of these accessories by integrating them into its Apple Store Online) for new MagSafe accessories that improve the possibilities we have with our iPhone. Since the launch of the Apple Wallet and the MagSafe battery, Apple has not had a different and unique MagSafe accessory to encourage its use and advance this standard. Surely we still have a lot to see and surprise us in the months to come.
