But a rumoured new accessory could help the tech come into its own in 2021.

A new report suggests Apple is working on a battery pack designed to magnetically attach to the back of the iPhone. It's a concept fans have been crying out for since MagSafe was announced – indeed, anything that can make one of our best camera phones last even longer can only be a good thing.
