APPLE MAGSAFE DUO CHARGER: CHEAPLY MADE, POORLY EXECUTED, AND WAY TOO EXPENSIVE

The best thing I can say about the MagSafe Duo charger is that it does what it’s supported to do: charge your iPhone 12 and Apple Watch at the same time. But if you’re looking for a revolutionary MagSafe charging experience—or quite frankly, even a good one—you should probably wait for something better and cheaper to come along.

At $129, you should expect the MagSafe Duo to bring a level of charging akin to the fabled , which promised a new charging solution that, according to Phil Schiller, would “actually help the entire industry move forward.” The MagSafe Duo doesn’t do that. If anything, it’s a step backwards.
