Known for its innovative solutions for portable devices in the technology world, Anker introduces its new MagGo USB-C Adapter to its users. This small but powerful “puck” shaped adapter functions as an SD and microSD card reader and can be used with laptops, tablets and smartphones, especially iPhones. Offering an important feature especially for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models, the device allows for high-speed external video recording.
The Anker MagGo USB-C Adapter is available in white, black, and turquoise colors and can be purchased for $34.99 from Anker’s official website and Amazon. Thanks to its MagSafe compatibility, the device can be safely placed on the back of the iPhone and used without any discomfort while recording video. However, this positioning can block the iPhone’s charging ports. Anker has added an additional USB-C port to the MagGo to keep this in mind. This port allows the iPhone to receive up to 42.5W of power, allowing it to charge without interruption.
4K 60fps ProRes video recording capability
The MagGo USB-C Adapter is compatible with SD and microSD cards, which is a great advantage especially for iPhone 15 and 16 owners. If the memory card used has a write speed of at least 220MB/s and a capacity of 256GB, the iPhone can record ProRes video at 4K resolution and 60fps with the help of this adapter. This feature stands out as a very striking innovation, especially for professional content producers and video users.
Anker says the MagGo USB-C Adapter can theoretically transfer data at 312MB/s with UHS-II rated memory cards. However, real-world speeds can vary depending on the type of card used, its age, and usage. If your memory card is slower than 220MB/s, you can still record external video. However, the frame rate and resolution may be reduced. Still, the flexibility offered by the Anker MagGo is an important detail that appeals to different user needs.
Another useful feature that increases portability is that the MagGo USB-C Adapter has a cover to keep the SD card slots clean. This cover is designed to extend the life of the device and prevent dust or dirt from damaging the card slots.
This new product from Anker seems to be of interest to technology enthusiasts, especially with its unique video recording and charging support for iPhone users. With both its portability and versatile functionality, the MagGo USB-C Adapter stands out as an effective option for users looking for external storage solutions.
