Apple announced iOS 16 and macOS Ventura at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June this year. One of the integrations that has received the most praise from the public is the ability to be able to use an iPhone as a webcam on a Mac. This significantly improves the quality of video calls, according to Apple.
Apple has illustrated this novelty using a support for attaching the iPhone to a Mac, many were waiting for it to go on sale, as it is true that it is very useful. For all of them we have good news, the support is already on sale
Possible solution to a problem we didn’t know we had
It is not made directly by Apple, but by Belkin. In any case, if Apple announces it in a presentation and sells it on its website, it is because it has tested it and knows that it works well. Belkin is generally a manufacturer that Apple trusts for the quality of its products, and if we add to this the additional “quality control” that those in Cupertino undergo, we can be sure that its compatibility with the Mac is guaranteed.
The operation of this support is quite simple. It has a little tab that lets you cling to the top frame of our Mac. It also has a MagSafe system that secures the iPhone so it won’t move when used as a webcam.
Plus, it not only works as a kickstand for use with your Mac, but can be used independently. You can see from the product images on the Apple site that if the stand is left on the iPhone there is a small tab that allows it to be stood horizontally to watch a video on YouTube or one of the latest Apple TV+ releases .
support is only compatible with iPhones with MagSafe technology (all released from iPhone 12 except iPhone SE from 2022) and can be used with MacBook Air released from 2018 and MacBook Pro released from 2019.
