I’m thinking of getting the Apple duo charger, for convenience factor mostly.

I’ve looked and it looks to have an issue on placement with the 13 Pro, although did look to charge.

Anyone have the duo and 13 Pro tell me how it gets on? I don’t want to have to remove a case to charge, I use MagSafe cases. Is the charging time affected at all?

Is there any other 3rd party ones as good? I only want iPhone and watch charger, not too bothered if it isn’t the full 15W suppose, but prefer.

It will be used to throw in my bag to use at home and work, is it durable?

I think you need a 20W charger if charging both, but can it be any 20W (or higher) and not Apple?

Any pics would be good to show on 13 pro, and after being used out and about for a while.

Thanks

I’d go with the belkin 3-1 MagSafe charger.

45w charging brick included the box.

Doesn’t leave marks on your phone and cases like apple MagSafe chargers.

Better build quality.

Had mine for over a year, can’t fault it.

Also comes in a 2-1.

Nice but it wouldn’t fit in a small bag. I want it to come and go with me, that’s why I thought about the Duo. It’s small and portable
 
Looks good, but only need 1 wireless and watch, so presume this is much bigger than the Duo, and doesn’t seem to fold making it easier to shove in a bag?

Doesn’t look much bigger than the duo, also charges faster than the duo.

Yeah you can’t beat duo for portability.
Their website lists 13P as compatible so you shouldn’t worry about it much.
 
worst case you can buy one of the make your own frames. Where you put in MagSafe & watch charger yourself

A really good and probably better overall MagSafe duo replacement imo.

Looks good but again I don’t really see much point personally in having 3 points. I’m personally happy to use the iPhone charger to charge AirPods and keep it smaller.

I bought this and it felt really cheap. I couldn’t justify keeping it. The charger for the airpods was also really picky about placement. The Duo just feels way nicer. The Zagg one felt like an Amazon special.
That’s disappointing to here, you sent back then? Did you end up going the Apple Duo instead then? or something else?

Any pics of Apple Duo with a 13 Pro on and also what looks like after using it a while?

Thanks
