Apple Updates Accessories Design Guidelines to Include MagSafe Compatibility

Apple introduced the iPhone 12 smartphone with MagSafe technology. According to Apple’s updated guidelines, cases for iPhone 12 smartphones should be enclosing the entire device within a maximum thickness of 2.1 millimeters, although Apple recommends that the thickness be 2.0 millimeters. Further, case magnets must align properly with iPhone rear magnets, and Apple says MagSafe cases can’t have any other magnets included. The case and MagSafe case magnet array shall enable MagSafe accessories to magnetically self align within a 1.55 mm radial maximum,” Apple guidelines now say. All third party manufacturers willing to offer Apple-certified MagSafe cases or chargers must follow all the guidelines mentioned by Apple.
