Apple Says MagSafe Duo Charger and Leather Sleeve Are 'Coming Soon' for $129 Each

[MacRumors]

Apple's online store has listed the MagSafe Duo Charger and Leather Sleeve with MagSafe for the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max as "coming soon" for $129 each in the United States. An exact release date has yet to be announced for the accessories, which still cannot be pre-ordered at this time.

MagSafe is a new feature on all iPhone 12 models that allows for magnetic accessories to be attached to the back of the devices.

Featuring a foldable design with a built-in MagSafe Charger and Apple Watch charging puck, the MagSafe Duo can wirelessly charge a compatible iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods or AirPods Pro case, and other Qi-certified devices. The charger ships with a USB-C to Lightning cable, but the recommended 20W power adapter is sold separately for $19.

The Leather Sleeve covers all sides of iPhone 12 models, with a cutout on the front for the Lock screen clock. On the inside, the sleeve has a pocket for a credit card or ID, and it also comes with a strap that can be attached for easy carrying. The sleeve will be available in four colors: Baltic Blue, Pink Citrus, Saddle Brown, and (PRODUCT)RED.

Waiting for the post about store still being down....

I bought my last used iPhone for less than this case costs.

 

[JaySoul]

Ridiculous pricing for the MagSafe Duo charger. Too far, Apple.

 

[calstanford]

Beyond ridiculous price (for either!). So I can buy a Magsafe Charger for $39 and a watch charger for $29 or both in a plasticy package together as $129? Is this some joke? This isn't even an integrated product. It's literally both seperate chargers with a lighting (???) port. Just look at the thing! $61 to basically hold those two seperate chargers together and that's about it.
Why would I buy this?

145 Euro in Germany ... WOW for a charger.

 

[Mlrollin91]

You would think for the $129 it would come with the USB-C 20w charger... But nope. So really its $148. ($129 + $19). Was really looking forward to it, but not anymore.

 

[discounteggroll]

never thought I'd see the day where financing was an option to purchase a charger or case

 

[Hamsterhjulet]

Look at that ring! Looking flawless!

 

[User 6502]

Ridiculous price for both.

 

[profets]

I would really like the MagSafe Duo, if not for anything else but to have a clean charging setup (as trivial as that might sound).

If it requires 20W USB-C charger and that has to be purchased separately, then damn. I might wait and watch for that Belkin MagSafe charging stand.

I hope that's not on the case, cause the other photos don't show it that visible!

"20W USB-C Power Adapter (sold separately)"

LOL Apple

 

[AngerDanger]

They’re expected to be released the same day as AirPower.

 

[fezzzer]

I don't see the ring in the photo on the UK store for the leather cases.

 

[007p]

Would rather have the leather folio back...

 

[DH93]

I don't see the ring in the photo on the UK store for the leather cases.

It's in the very last photo in the slide. In Germany too so I guess it's in every store. Weird that only one photo show's it that visible. I really hope it's not that way.

Duo charger looks really nice. Maybe I’d stretch to £69 or maybe £79 with the 20w plug, but £129 without a plug!? No way!

 

[GeoStructural]

145 Euro in Germany ... WOW for a charger.

It is all for the environment.

 

[Jett0516]

What's the purpose of the sleeve?

 

[rmoliv]

Those prices are robbery.
Sold separately the MagSafe charger is 45€ and the AW magnetic charger is 35€ so why the **** is the MagSafe duo 149€? Robbery!

 

[dannyyankou]

Just save your money until third party alternatives become available...

 

[GeoStructural]

What's the purpose of the sleeve?

To make taking the phone out every time a maddening experience.

 

[Spock]

What's the purpose of the sleeve?

To drop your phone and sell more AppleCare+ screen replacements..

 

[Johnny907]

130 bucks WITHOUT the charging plug?
Oh bugger right off, Apple. Sorry but no. That’s just ridiculous.
