That means, for example, when I get home and remove my wallet from my iPhone, a short time later I get an alert letting me know my wallet is no longer attached, along with the address of my house. When your wallet is removed from your iPhone for one minute, you'll receive a notification letting you know your wallet isn't attached to your phone, along with the address of the last location detected by your phone. Instead, the wallet uses NFC to tell your iPhone when it's attached. The new MagSafe Wallet does work with Apple's Find My network, but it's not trackable like a lost iPhone or AirTag. It's all done anonymously, and without any action required by the person who is near a lost device. Screenshots by Jason Cipriani/ZDNet It works with Find My, with a pretty big limitationĪpple's Find My network is so appealing because it crowd-sources the location of a lost device, AirTag or Find My-compatible device. Initial setup is easy, but not everything you need to do. You'll end up stuck in a checkout line trying to get your debit card out for far too long. Trust me, from experience, don't try to squeeze a fourth card in, hoping the leather will expand. It magnetically attaches to the back of any iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 model and has enough room to store three cards.

It looks and works just like the first version Here's what I've learned about the MagSafe Wallet and how it works with the Find My network, which will hopefully help you. Now that I've received my order, it's clear that my expectations weren't entirely accurate. With Find My support, I figured I'd be able to precisely locate it when I misplace it in my house, or should I ever leave it behind somewhere I could quickly locate it. The new wallet works with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineup.Īs soon as the event ended, I ordered the new $60 MagSafe Wallet. For those unfamiliar, Find My is what's use to track down lost iPhones, AirTags and iPads - basically any Apple device that's running current hardware. The MagSafe Wallet was one of the accessories that not only received new color options, but it also gained support for Apple's Find My service. When Apple revealed the iPhone 13 lineup, the company also announced revamped MagSafe cases and accessories for the phones. You can find iPhone models directly from Apple starting from $399.
