Reviving a brand name from the old days of MacBook charging, Apple's MagSafe uses a circular magnet arrangement to snap chargers and cases onto the iPhone 12. Apple built MagSafe into all of its official iPhone 12 cases.
Apple is offering a familiar assortment of Silicone and Clear cases for the iPhone 12 lineup, with orders commencing on Oct. 16. The iPhone 12 Leather Case will, on the other hand, premiere on Nov. 6.
