j5create will release the “USB-C Magnetic 2in1 Multi-Hub JCH165W” on September 13, which integrates magnetically with the iPhone 15 and transforms it into a camera compatible with ProRes recording, and the “USB-C Magnetic 4in1 Multi-Hub JCH168W” in early October. The price is 9,980 yen for the JCH165W and 10,980 yen for the JCH168W.
Both are all-in-one USB multi-hubs designed specifically for USB-C equipped iPhones. The expansion ports consist of two USB-C ports. Each side is equipped with powerful magnets that hold securely to the back of the iPhone, and by using the included metal ring in the package to stick to devices such as SSDs or mobile batteries, users can expand the iPhone’s interface while firmly integrating and securing the connected devices.
Furthermore, it supports ProRes, which is the professional shooting format for the iPhone Pro/Pro Max. Due to system restrictions on the iPhone, external storage must be connected to use ProRes, but with this product, you can use ProRes while PD charging, “transforming the iPhone instantly into a professional camera,” it is claimed.
It features two USB-C ports, one capable of PD charging to the iPhone. The other port offers high-speed USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) transfer functionality, allowing for SSD connections.
The JCH165W has a function that detects devices connected to the USB-C port and provides the corresponding functionality. While typical USB hubs have fixed functions for each port, both ports on this device can accommodate both PD charging and data transfer regardless of which port is used.
