Apple Magsafe Wallet

At the beginning of October they gave me the wallet Magsafe. Having an iPhone 11 Pro I couldn't use it as I should and I used it uncoupled from the Apple device .

Now with the acquisition of my new iPhone 13 Pro Max I can perfectly fit the back of the device and thus have my cards located and always located. Possibly it is the intermediate step between carrying a wallet and not carrying anything to carry everything on the mobile.

I remember that all the steps that are being taken in document management are towards digitization.In many countries, the digital ID is already used, which is carried on the mobile. Without going any further in Spain, although it is not yet legalized, we can already carry the driver's license on the iPhone

This is why I think Apple has launched its Magsafe Wallet as an intermediate step between carrying everything in our cluttered wallet physical and bring all the documentation, credit and debit cards, loy alty cards, photos. On our iPhones.

My opinion on Apple's Magsafe wallet:

As I said, when I first got it I used it as a detached wallet. Not being able to keep it attached to my iPhone 11 PRO made me take it loose. But yes, I digitized all the documents I could to only put the essentials in it.

I added to the iPhone Wallet app the credit and debit cards, the driver's license, various invoices that I captured and added notes and notes to the app the Covid passport that on these pandemic dates it is important to take it just in case.

In the end I only had 3 cards left to digitize, which I hope can be carried on the iPhone in the future: My ID card, my he alth card and a wallet card that I carry In case one day the payment fails by Apple Pay.

Maximum 3 cards fit.

The Magsafe wallet can hold up to 3 cards, but not more. Let's put one, two and three, they don't fall. I've tried and no matter how much I shake the wallet attached to the iPhone or the wallet physically, they don't fall off.

I would like to carry a ticket, but having the maximum number of cards in my wallet, it is not possible for me. If I had less, a €10 or €20 bill, I'd like to take it just in case, but for now, thanks to the fact that nowadays you can pay everywhere with Apple Pay, I haven't needed to use physical money.

I have been thinking about carrying the bill in the iPhone case, but I have not yet tested whether it affects the magnetization of the iPhone with the wallet. When I do, I'll tell you.

Once that was done, in one pocket I had my iPhone 11 PRO and in the other the Apple wallet. I stopped carrying that cumbersome wallet full of papers, cards, photos to keep the minimum in my pockets, something I really appreciate.

Using the magnet wallet on the iPhone 13 PRO MAX:

After buying my new iPhone, the first thing I did was stick the card on the back of it. The truth is that it fits perfectly even with the silicone case on.

In all the time I've used it, which isn't little, at no time has it come off. And it is that some resistance must be applied for this to happen. The most that has happened to me is that it bends a bit and is not centered on the back of the iPhone, which is quickly corrected with a small movement of the wallet.

Off-centered but docked wallet

Since it doesn't drop, I've tested what would happen if it were dropped on the ground, and quickly the iPhone vibrates and alerts you, via Notification from the Search app that the accessory has been undocked from the smartphone and tells you the exact place where this occurred. You can see it in the following images:

Accessory loss notice

The wallet is not like the AirTag. It tells you where it fell, the place where it undocked, but doesn't tell you, in case someone has caught it, where it has moved to.

In case she falls and someone catches her, what will she want to do with my ID, he alth card and a wallet card in which there is almost no money?

By carrying the minimum in that accessory and the important thing is to carry it on my mobile, I would not like to lose my wallet but, with the Magsafe wallet the pain of that happening is less .

When taking out the cards we must uncouple the wallet from the phone. On the inside it has a hole in which we will have to move our thumb to make the cards come out.

Remove cards from Magsafe wallet

Without a doubt, for me, the Apple Magsafe Wallet is an accessory that everyone should carry in their iPhone compatible with Magsafe to take the intermediate step between the physical wallet and the digitization of everything we carry in them to carry it on our smartphone .

If you dare to try them, here is a link where you will find official Apple wallets. We don't know if the non-original ones work the same as the official ones.
