The article discusses the evolution of phone grips, specifically highlighting the Anker magnetic ring introduced in 2022 and new variations emerging in the market. These new mounts boast both magnets for attaching to phones and ferrous surfaces, offering a versatile solution for phone mounting. However, some models are criticized for being bulkier and less comfortable compared to previous favorites. The author shares personal testing experiences with different models, ultimately considering the practicality of using a metal disc for a standing phone mount.
I like my phone, so I put a ring on it back in 2022 - the year my colleagues Jen and Allison introduced me to the Anker ring we now call "The best MagSafe phone grip".
These new magnetic rings are bulkier and less comfortable when I'm not mounting them to every piece of ferrous metal in sight.
There are at least a dozen different varieties on the market now, each promising a folding quick-release variable angle phone mount.
I’m pretty tempted to stick a metal disc on my desk and use these as my standing phone mount.
