      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leica just <a href="https://youtu.be/0Nj58KYRVSU?si=RPvsD_gGEpkT8-Kq">dropped</a> an interesting new accessory to pair with their <em>Leica Lux</em> app—a <strong>MagSafe</strong> Bluetooth grip for iPhones, with half-press to focus and function shortcut buttons.</p>

<p><iframe allow="monetization" class="embedly-embed" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F0Nj58KYRVSU%3Ffeature%3Doembed&display_name=YouTube&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D0Nj58KYRVSU&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F0Nj58KYRVSU%2Fhqdefault.jpg&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="640" height="360" scrolling="no" title="YouTube embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture;" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p>

<p>As functional as it looks, I have to wonder: how many people will shell out <strong>$329</strong> for it, even with the included one-year <em>Lux</em> app subscription?</p>

<p>If it was a universal grip that I could use with my iPhone and my Android, maybe I would consider it more, but then again, I care a regular camera with me everywhere I go, so it’s probably not for me.</p>

<p>I still love that Leica and others are releasing modern accessories like these.</p>

<p>As always, your mileage may vary, so use what’s helpful. Discard the rest. ✌️</p>
