Satechi's new 7-in-1 USB-C hub is designed for Apple devices, leveraging MagSafe for a clean attachment. It packs microSD/SD slots, HDMI (4K 60Hz), two 5Gbps USB-A ports, a charging USB-C port, and Ethernet into a space-gray circle. The built-in cable retracts for portability, making it a compact travel accessory.

While its utility for most iPhone users is limited, the hub shines on iPad and MacBook. Satechi includes a magnetic ring, allowing the hub to stick to any device, not just iPhones. This is particularly useful for iPad Pro users with a Magic Keyboard, providing easy access to SD cards for photo editing or external storage.

For iPhone videographers, the hub offers a practical solution for recording directly to external USB-C storage, bypassing local storage limits. Priced at $59.99, it's a well-designed option for those needing a versatile, magnetic USB-C hub that integrates seamlessly with the Apple ecosystem.
