All the poors (who spent up to $1700 on a phone, mind you) whining about Apple’s pricing amuses me.

What kind of argument is that?All the poors (who spent up to $1700 on a phone, mind you) whining about Apple’s pricing amuses me.
Wait... why is this thing connected with a Lightning port? Could we just finally move to USB-C all the way?
Since they are 100% optional, no they aren’t robbery. It’s very simple, if the price isn’t worth the product, don’t buy it. If enough people don’t the price will change.Those prices are a robbery.
Sold separately the MagSafe charger is 45€ and the AW magnetic charger is 35€ so why the **** is the MagSafe duo 149€? Robbery!
Yep any duo charger or trio by big companies are all in the same price rangeI fail to understand why is everyone so surprised about $129 for MagSafe Duo.
What other 2in1 or 3in1 wireless MagSafe 15W chargers are priced at? Besides Belkin 3in1 MagSage Wireless Charger which is also priced at $149 without adaptor, all other 2in1 or 3in1 wireless chargers are around $100 and it has only 7.5W charging speed.
I agree MagSafe Duo is expensive but even other wireless chargers are more expensive as they only give 7.5W charging speed. Just because they're priced around $100 which is less compared to MagSage duo, does not mean it's cheap because considering they only give 7.5W charging speed, it's ridiculously expensive even at $100.
The way MagSafe Duo is being talked about pricing here is incorrect because someone here said, he has morphie 2in1 wireless charger for $97 but that's very expensive for a 7.5W charging speed.
I'm not defending Apple here but if you look around for 2in1 or 3in1 wireless chargers, they're all in the same segment pricing. It's not cheap. Compared to other 2in1 or 3in1 wireless chargers, Apple turns out modest at pricing and a practical one too which can be handy while travelling to office, holidays etc. I don't understand why so much riot only for Apple when the competitors are priced higher or almost the same.
Edit: Apple still gives you a cheaper option to buy MagSage at $40 which gives you charging speed at 15W. Compare that to other wireless chargers who gives you speed at 7.5W. But when we talk about 2in1 or 3in1 wireless chargers, they're all expensive
Here are few examples

That is ONE use of MagSafe, but it also helps with alignment which allows faster charging. Also for people who travel often this might be more convenient than bringing along separate chargers. It’s ok if it’s not useful for you, other people might have different needs/uses.I'm not really understanding why anyone would want this. It defeats the purpose of MagSafe which is to have the option of using your phone while its charging wirelessly (but not really wireless). This is just simply taking two things that you already have and putting them together that serves ZERO purpose.

Something apole’s design team might not be particularly proud ofIt'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.
And thinking, “hmm, what can I do with all these leather scraps? I know, the iphone ‘nano’ leather case, a case that only protects the corners of your iphone!”I'm sure Tim Cook is out there slaughtering the cows and tanning the leather as we speak.
Got a link?The MagSafe duo was in an Engadget video. The reviewer picked up the phone...and it picks up the charger from the magnetic force. For $148 all in (Buying a dedicated $20 20w plug, as it is not included.) This thing is highway robbery by apple, with a crappy design to boot.
I was actually excited for this because I want a simple charger to magnetically snap in (with a light force) but still allow you to pick the thing up without slinging the charger all over the place.
Think people buying this will be mainly for at night thoughYou’d still have to buy 20W adapter to get 15W charging. So that’s $150 for the “convenience “. I’m not hating but I’ll pass on this one.
This is why I’m going to buy one. Really convenient size to pack. Only one plug needed.for people who travel often this might be more convenient than bringing along separate chargers
You’re right, I recall that. They didn’t have actual images of scratches that could happen though.They warned that the Jet Black iPhone 7 would easily get swirl scratches.
For travel.
