Product Description
The iPhone 16 Pro can shoot 4K 120fps ProRes. Your internal storage can't keep up with it for long — and that's exactly what the Wise i4 Mobile SSD is built to fix. It snaps onto the back of your iPhone via MagSafe, connects via USB4, and gives you 1TB of high-speed NVMe storage that reads at 4,000 MB/s and writes at 3,500 MB/s with a minimum sustained write of 700 MB/s. No overheating, no external power needed, and at just 50g it barely registers in your hand.
What makes this different from other mobile SSDs is the interface. USB4 is the same protocol that powers Thunderbolt 4 — it's not USB 3.2 with a USB-C port slapped on it. The Wise engineering team built a new chip specifically to run USB4 at full speed without generating the heat that would normally come with it. The result is something that can sustain ProRes recording in a pocket-sized form factor without throttling mid-shoot.
The MagSafe mount holds the drive against the back of your iPhone so it stays put during handheld shooting — and before anyone asks, it doesn't charge the phone (the magnet is mechanical only). The drive is waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof, TLC NAND flash inside, and covered by a 3-year warranty that extends to 4 years if you register within 30 days of purchase.

Does this work with any iPhone, or only the iPhone 16 Pro?
The MagSafe attachment is compatible with any MagSafe-enabled iPhone. However, the 4K 120fps ProRes external recording feature is specific to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max — Apple only enabled external ProRes recording at that resolution on those models. For USB4 speeds (4,000 MB/s), you'll also need a device with a USB4 port, which on iPhones starts with the iPhone 15 Pro. Earlier iPhones with USB-C (iPhone 15 standard) use USB 3 speeds and won't hit the full spec.
Does the MagSafe attachment charge the iPhone?
No. The MagSafe on the Wise i4 is mechanical only — it holds the drive against the back of your iPhone during shooting. It does not have a charging coil and will not charge your phone. The SSD is bus-powered by the USB-C connection, not by the MagSafe magnet.
Will the magnet damage my iPhone data?
No. Your iPhone stores data on NAND flash memory chips, not magnetic platters. Magnets cannot affect flash storage. This is a common concern but there is no risk to your data from the MagSafe magnet on this drive.
Can I use this with a camera other than an iPhone?
Yes — the Wise i4 connects via USB-C/USB4 and works as a standard external SSD with any device that has a compatible USB-C port. MagSafe attachment is iPhone-specific, but the drive itself is not. Check your camera manufacturer's documentation for external recording compatibility. For Mac, it works at full USB4 speeds on M-series Macs with USB4 ports.
How does this compare to a regular portable SSD?
The key differences are the USB4 interface and the MagSafe integration. Most portable SSDs use USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps theoretical, ~1,000 MB/s real-world). The Wise i4 uses USB4 (40 Gbps), which is why it can sustain 700 MB/s minimum write — that's the sustained throughput needed for uninterrupted 4K 120fps ProRes. The MagSafe mount is purpose-built for iPhone shooting workflows. If you just need a fast external drive for a Mac, this works brilliantly for that too.
