Apple takes pride in the design of its hardware, which is often praised for its premium materials and high-quality construction. That pride also extends to the many accessories it has produced over the years. But after checking out MagSafe accessories from a company called Aulumu, it's clear Apple really needs to take cues from them.

That’s because these MagSafe accessories I’ve tested from Aulumu prioritize durability, style, and function — a trifecta that I don’t always see in accessories. They look like they come straight from the future with their cyberpunk-inspired aesthetic, but I also love how they’re multi-functional.

Apple used to have the coolest designs, but not anymore. Here’s why.

Aulumu G03 Multi-Tool MagSafe Wallet

What is it: A durable MagSafe wallet with a kickstand and extra tools.
Why I love it: It has a massive 12-card capacity and integrated RFID-blocking technology.
Best hidden feature: I'll always have a bottle opener on me.

If there’s one type of MagSafe accessory I use more than anything else, it’s the MagSafe wallet. The Aulumu G03 Multi-Tool MagSafe Wallet looks stylish and feels solidly constructed — but my favorite part is that it accommodates up to 12 cards. That’s way more generous than the three to five capacity other MagSafe wallets claim to hold.

I still can’t get over its industrial design, which features an aluminum alloy case, an elastic woven grip strap, and a stainless steel kickstand. It’s without question the most functional MagSafe wallet I’ve ever come across, too, because of how easily I can slip my cards in and out.

It also features a separate AirTag holder I can attach, a mini ruler to quickly measure stuff, and my favorite part: a bottle opener hidden on its side. This one's going to be the MagSafe wallet I use for the long-term until something else can top it.

Aulumu G09 Infinite 360° MagSafe Stand

What it is: A MagSafe phone grip and stand in one.
Why I love it: It stands out from any other phone grip with its sleek, minimalist design.
Best hidden feature: The inner ring glows in the dark.

As much as I love my lava lamp-style PopSocket, the Aulumu G09 Infinite 360° MagSafe Stand does way more than any other phone grip I’ve come across. First of all, I can’t get over the industrial design of this MagSafe accessory, which is fashioned from a sturdy aluminum alloy. The hinge, in particular, is noteworthy because of how tight it feels and how easily it supports my iPhone 17 Pro’s weight.

Since it features a separate outer magnetic ring, I can attach other MagSafe accessories to my phone — like my Satechi On-the-Go 7-in-1 Multiport Adapter to connect a monitor to my iPhone. Finally, I love how the inner plastic ring glows in the dark to give it that subtle glow at night.

Aulumu M01 4-in-1 Folding Wireless Charging Station

What it is: A sleek 4-in-1 MagSafe charger.
Why I love it: It has a travel-friendly design that lets me charge all of my Apple products at once.
Best hidden feature: There's an extra USB-C port to charge a fourth gadget.

Finally, there’s the Aulumu M01 4-in-1 Folding Wireless Charging Station. There’s a lot of thought put into its design, from its sleek silhouette to the premium materials used in its construction. Its foldable design allows me to charge my phone flat like any other wireless charger — or prop it up in landscape to access StandBy Mode.

Naturally, it has an Apple Watch and AirPods charger, just like any other 3-in-1 MagSafe charger I’ve used. However, I can’t stress enough how Aulumu also prioritizes function by adding an extra USB-C port to charge a fourth device.

And if those aren’t enough reasons to convince you why it beats Apple’s designs, it also features a built-in night lamp with three levels of brightness. Now, that’s thinking forward.
