I too am wondering what connector its using. I have a feeling and a hope that its USB C as I think this requires the 20w charger to function.
Got a tip for us?

Perhaps. If not removing the iPhone now is a two handed operation. How inconvenient. What did Apple solve exactly with MagSafe?
Yeah i am sure it will be USB C and require a 20v charger to charge both devices. I imagine that it will be weighty and will allow removal of the phone without having to hold the Duo down. I am quite looking forward to seeing this product.
Don't worry, they will have a post release video explaining "how you're holding it wrong and most people have two hands so get over it
"20W: Yeah, you would think so with two things to charge. Apple really should have seen the writing on the wall about this USB-C future (good or bad) and just changed everything right away. This transition is kinda painful. It's going to take longer than Intel→ASi.
Guessing 99Whatever prices users here guess, Apple usually charges higher than that
It's still possible to use Lightning connector and 20watts of charging brick, Apple Watch standard charger only takes 2 watts if I remember correctly. Just like the included cable in iPhone 12 box is able to fast charge the phone at 20 watts . Of course I'd rather have a USB-C connector.

I've never had a problem with my QI charger with my 11 Pro Max. But for some reason I keep bumping my 12 Pro in my sleep and knocking it off the charger. And I wake up with a dead phone. It would be nice to have the magnet to hold it in place and know that my phone will be charged in the morning.
This thing looks cool, but it’s not for me. I have AirPod Pros that need charging. Why couldn’t they have done a 3-in-1?
When I travel, I take my 3-in-1 Nomad station with me. It’s slightly big, but I don’t have to bring three cables and chargers. I f this thing had for all 3, it would be an insta-buy from me.

I definitely like this as a portable dual charger I would totally take on the road, but I agree, a third foldup panel to make it a 3-in-1 would have been nice. Maybe that's an upcoming product that is pending the reception of this one.
HA, in your dreams! This is basically a MagSafe charger ($39) plus an Apple Watch charger ($29) plus a plastic case for them (Apple's plastic cases for iPhone 12 are $49), so I'm guessing this is going to cost $119. Apple's Watch charging dock costs $79 and looks very similar to this, except without the MagSafe charger ($39), which again points to a price around $119. If Apple's feeling extremely generous, they could maybe push the price as low as $99, but Apple's not very generous with prices, so don't count on it.

Will the MagSafe side stain the leather cases as well? Or will it be better if it doesn’t have a metal ring around the edges?
Has anyone got first hand experience that shows the MagSafe charger MUST be a two handed operation? Can't you pick up the phone and at the same time laterally slide or pry off the charger puck with your fingers in one motion? I mean, it can't be that hard, right? Because this dual charger is larger, I imagine it's even easier to use one handed.
They are selling those things to people who want them. Isn't it better than giving all of us things that we don't need or want?
Any guesses if this Duo Charger or the standard MagSafe charger would charge an iPhone 12 Pro at 7.5w if it's not used with a MagSafe case? BTW, my guess is also $99+ for the Duo Charger.
If not will least be on the website to maybe pre order
Dunno if more will be interested in this one or not. Question is will the one stand come off when you try and take it off? Lol
Most likely yes but I imagine most buying this will be for the bed side so will work with the cable if you have a spare power brick
Looks like Apple’s price is $129, ac adapter sold separately. Of course it’s $129!
