Magnetic cables aren’t wholly new. Supercalla got here out with the primary variations with seen exterior magnets years in the past and has iterated on them since.
At CES 2024, we noticed new variations hitting the market from Scosche, Rolling Sq., and different lesser-known manufacturers which might be rocking a brand new design.

These new USB-C cables have tender, nylon weaving across the outdoors that obscures the magnetic magic that hides inside. The woven exterior can be extra sturdy.
