The Satechi OntheGo 7-in-1 Multiport Adapter is the USB-C hub your iPhone has been looking for. It magnetically attaches to the back of the handset and adds a collection of ports useful to anyone pushing their iPhone to the limit. That includes HDMI, USB-A, Ethernet and more.
“The OntheGo 7-in-1 Multiport Adapter combines power and portability in a sleek design so you can bring your desk anywhere without compromise,” said Brock Guclu, Satechi’s co-founder and president.
Satechi OntheGo 7-in-1 Multiport Adapter takes your iPhone to the limit
People connect a hub to their iPhone to expand the phone’s capabilities beyond its single USB-C port. A hub allows them to plug in accessories like external storage drives to offload large photos and videos, connect HDMI monitors for presentations or desktop-style setups, attach keyboards and mice for productivity, use wired Ethernet for faster or more reliable internet, and read SD cards when shooting photos or video. In short, a hub turns the iPhone into a far more flexible, computer-like device, especially useful for creators, travelers, and anyone who wants to do more than the phone alone allows.
Just about any USB-C hub can be used with an iPhone. Very few are designed for it specifically. The Satechi OntheGo 7-in-1 Multiport Adapter is a pocket-size, all-in-one connectivity hub that’s about the size of a hockey puck and lighter than a deck of cards.
It sports ports for HDMI (up to 4K at 60Hz), Gigabit Ethernet, dual USB-A (5Gbps), SD/microSD reader, and USB-C PD pass-through.
Magnets in the hub connect to MagSafe in the iPhone to allow the accessory to act like it’s part of the handset. Or, of course, like any USB-C hub, it can be connected to MacBooks, iPads, Windows PCs, etc. It includes an adhesive ring to let the device cling to non-iPhones, and the hub can send up to 80W of power to a laptop via 100W input.
A coiled, tangle-free, braided USB-C cable wraps around the hub when not in use.
