Apple’s MagSafe Duo Charger Is Now Over $50 Off.
Apple’s MagSafe Duo Charger has always been a purpose-built accessory, but the price drop to $74.99 makes it more affordable for Apple ecosystem users. This is the lowest price recorded to date (according to online price tracking services ), compared to the regular price of $129.
The charger is divided into two pads connected by a hinge. One side secures your iPhone with MagSafe, eliminating the need to fumble for the correct position, especially on a nightstand where you might reach for your phone half-asleep and wish it would snap back into place without further fuss. The other side is designed for your Apple Watch and can be used as a flat pad for AirPods or any Qi-compatible device. This is the type of charger best suited for the end of a long day. You simply place your phone and watch on it, and you’re good to go. The entire design folds into a small square, making it easy to carry if you’re traveling or simply don’t want cables everywhere, according to a PCMag review .
This isn’t a full-fledged charging kit—Apple includes a USB-C to Lightning cable, but to achieve the desired charging speed, you’ll need to purchase a separate 20W USB-C power adapter . Charging is also slower than plugging your phone into a wall outlet, making it more of an overnight charging solution than a daytime use solution. Furthermore, there’s only enough space for two devices, which feels limiting if you’re trying to charge multiple devices simultaneously. And unlike newer charging pads, this one doesn’t support your phone for notifications or standby mode.
