Clicks Power Keyboard adds magsafe and built-in battery to lessen smartphone battery drain and be flexible

0

Clicks has unveiled its Power Keyboard accessory with a built-in battery, addressing one of the main drawbacks of earlier physical keyboard add-ons for smartphones. Clicks is known for creating a physical QWERTY keyboard for smartphones similar to the Blackberry keyboards.

The updated Clicks Power Keyboard no longer depends entirely on a phone’s battery to operate. Instead, the keyboard now carries its own power source, allowing users to type for longer periods without affecting their device’s battery life.

The Power Keyboard retains its physical key layout, inspired by classic BlackBerry-style devices. By using physical keys, users can type without covering the screen, keeping more content visible. There is a trade-off with the new design. Because the keyboard now has its own battery, it also needs to be charged separately. This adds another device to manage, but Clicks appears to view this as a reasonable compromise for improved usability and reduced strain on the phone itself.

The keyboard can also be used for other devices such as VR headsets, tablets, and many more. As long as the device has a magsafe connection, the clicks keyboard can stick to the back of any smartphone.

Once unfolded, the device is rumored to open up into a larger display of around 7.76 inches, approaching the screen size of smaller tablets. Leaked details also point to a book-style foldable design, prioritizing a wide landscape orientation over a taller aspect, which could benefit activities like multitasking, video watching, and web browsing. Other rumours from supply chain sources mention Apple opting for side-mounted Touch ID instead of Face ID to reduce internal thickness, as well as a premium build and high-end chip expected for a 2026 release.

Apple has not officially confirmed the iPhone Fold or provided any design details, but these CAD renders add to the growing picture of what could be Apple’s first entry into the foldable smartphone market if it launches in late 2026.
