I'm interested to see how this thing reviews. But, I think it is DOA.
It is way too expensive, especially to not have MagSafe magnets built in. It only works with the iPhone 14 and 15 which are the third and fourth generation of iPhones that have MagSafe.
The moment for physical keyboards on phones passed like a decade ago. For a phone form factor, a touch screen keyboard is going to be faster and less tiring to use in almost every case. And if you do want a physical keyboard, there are plenty of options that don't cost as much.
It's a very weird product decision IMO.
