Apple Just Added New Accessories, Including Thinnest-Ever PopSockets

Apple has teamed up with accessory makers to offer chargers, stands, power banks, cables, and more in bright color options like blue, pink, and teal. The splash of color arrives in time for summer in the U.S. and many other countries.

Blue and Pink Apple Accessories Feature
The new color options are available exclusively from Apple, both online and for in-store pickup.

Notably, one of the accessories added to Apple's online store is the PopSockets Low-Pro, which is the thinnest version of the popular accessory ever. Priced at $39.95 in the U.S., the MagSafe-compatible accessory continues to function as both an iPhone grip and a stand, except this version has a thickness of just 2.5mm.

Ordered the PopSocket. The Verge has a pretty good review out on it already.

I am also wondering if the Pop Socket has pass through charging.

Edit: From Apples site...
PopSockets magnetic phone grip & stand securely attaches to any MagSafe compatible case.
At just 2.5mm thin, it provides an ultra-slim profile with charge through capability*.
* Charger-dependent compatibility and performance.

I'm kind of glad I have no clue what a PopSocket is.

The Pop Socket looks nice. I wonder if it does pass through charging. If it does, it might give the Oh Snap grip I've been using for years a run for its money. The Snap grip looks very similar but without the outer ring. The only bad thing about the Snap grip is the vertical stand is a little unstable. I wonder how the Pop Socket does in that regard. I also wonder about any weight difference. With my iPhone Air, I can feel every gram.😆

Edit-
I found out it does do pass-through charging, which is great. But what may be the dealbreaker is I read that the outside magnet is stronger than the inside magnet, which means when you're using a MagSafe charger and remove your phone, the grip will remain attached to the charger unless you're very careful. It also weighs several grams more than the Snap grip, which is the trade off for having the ring stand which is supposedly a more stable stand in the vertical position, and it isn't limited to just a couple viewing angles. I don't care much about more viewing angles, but I do care about weight (though the difference will probably be negligible) and stability. I'll have to test it in person to see if I like the trade offs, and see how easy it is to use one-handed compared to the Snap grip. Anyway, it's nice to have a new option. Snap grip was to me the only game in town for a long time.
