IT Home reported on January 11 that according to the technical patents published by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple has obtained a new design patent for the MagSafe accessory, which can charge the iPhone in the shooting state when connected to the gimbal.
The patent, titled "Adapter for Camera Charging and Stabilization", describes that there is no shortage of tripods, gimbals, and other devices for DSLR cameras on the market, but there are not many camera stabilizers for mobile phones.
Apple's vision was for the stand to be small enough for photographers to carry and for long periods of time, and while the patent doesn't mention the word MagSafe, it looks like a magnetic MagSafe charge from the sketches and description.
Attached to the IT House is a sketch of the patent, the device resembles an old-fashioned lady's petite vanity case, a round holder for a mirror and blush, which can be folded at a 90-degree angle.
The horizontal section is thicker and contains a connector system for mounting the device to a standard tripod. The vertical part is the MagSafe stand, similar to Apple's slightly elongated version of the current round stand.
IT Home inquired about the relevant information and found that there were already products with related functions on sale, but the charging function was not supported.
