Sonos Abandons Plans for MagSafe iPhone Speaker

The company scrapped the project due to technical challenges, limited market appeal, and a shift in priorities.

Sonos explored creating a MagSafe-compatible speaker that would magnetically attach to iPhones and stream audio via Bluetooth.
The prototype featured a compact rectangular design, similar in size to Apple's discontinued MagSafe Battery Pack but thicker.
Technical limitations, concerns about battery life, and a niche target audience led to the project being shelved before mass production.
The speaker was intended to showcase Sonos' advanced transducer technology for high-quality sound in a small form factor.
Sonos is currently focused on resolving issues with its buggy S2 app and stabilizing its business after layoffs and leadership changes.
