                     Belkin's iPhone Mount Is Now Available

   Josh Centers

   One of the major features of iOS 16 and macOS 13 Ventura is Continuity
   Camera, which lets you use an iPhone as a Mac webcam (see
   '[1]Continuity Camera Turns an iPhone Into a Mac Webcam,' 6 August
   2022). To facilitate this new capability, accessory manufacturers have
   been working on products that let you neatly attach an iPhone to a Mac.
   Now the first of its kind is available just in time for Ventura:
   [2]Belkin's iPhone Mount with MagSafe for Mac Notebooks for $29.95. As
   the name implies, it's intended for Mac laptops and it attaches via
   MagSafe so you'll need a compatible iPhone (iPhone 12 or later except
   for the iPhone SE). (And yes, you can call MacBooks laptops now, see
   '[3]Apple Changes Portable Mac Descriptor from 'Notebook' to 'Laptop,'
   12 October 2022.)

   What's fascinating about Belkin's mount is that it's multifunctional:
   it also serves as a kickstand and a ring grip. And since it's MagSafe,
   it can be easily attached and detached as needed. Will you order one?
