Belkin is releasing a mount<\/a> for the iPhone 12 that\u2019ll track your face and automatically move with you. At just $65, it only costs a fraction of the cost of Amazon\u2019s Echo Show 10 (which has a similar tracking feature and costs $250) and, oh yeah, means Amazon isn\u2019t placing a camera in your home.<\/p>\n

The Magnetic Phone Mount with Face Tracking<\/a> can rotate 360-degrees horizontally, so you can set it up on your kitchen counter or in your home gym and it\u2019ll automatically follow you while you cook, clean, or workout. You\u2019ll have to make vertical adjustments manually, however, though it lets you rotate it from -15 to 30 degrees. It makes use of App<\/a>le\u2019s MagSafe technology<\/a>, as well, which is convenient, but that does limit it to the iPhone 12 line and future compatible phones (and there\u2019s no current option in sight for Android phones or even older iPhones).<\/p>\n

While the mount\u2019s cordless design means you can place it literally anywhere without being tethered to an outlet, it still requires three AAA batteries to power the motor. If you\u2019re planning on using it on a regular basis, there\u2019s the chance you\u2019ll be going through a lot of batteries, as well which could be a bummer if you\u2019re aren\u2019t on the rechargeable battery hype train.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the device\u2019s biggest downfall, however, is its reliance on your phone\u2019s front-facing camera for tracking your face. This means that camera won\u2019t be able to record video or allow you to take video calls. However, Belkin is offering a clumsy workaround: an as-of-yet-unreleased companion app that\u2019ll manage the face-tracking and somehow also let you record videos and stream content from social media<\/a> sites (but still no video call option). It\u2019s also optimized for a single face on the screen and isn\u2019t recommended for group video recordings.<\/p>\n
