I am happy with mine, but would have liked an apple branded 3-1Was thinking about getting this but it seems like it’s vapourware.
I need a solution for my nightstand and despite my reservations at its high price, there really seems to be no alternative other than the MagSafe Duo
Winter 2020 means winter 2020, not 2021... There's no other way to put it, they effectively missed their expected release date.No news at all... just by winter 2020 could mean anytime until March 2021...
Good news. We'll soon find out of it's true or not.This is the site where it previously said January 9th. Now it says January 5th. Fingers crossed.
3-1 or 2-1, I only wanted something that has the same value for money ratio. The difference is quite considerable, with the Belkin winning by a sizable margin. Thus we wait...I am happy with mine, but would have liked an apple branded 3-1

EDIT: I've just noticed that they now say it will be released "this year". So technically it can get a release on 31st December 2021 🙈

Today I learned 😅 Doesn't really make sense but won't argue, technically that puts them still within their roadmap, however they've since changed their stance to "will be released this year", so... Seems that for them winter 2020 did end in December.Unfortunately winter 2020 last until March 2021... still I think they would have been better saying ‘early 2021’ than ‘winter 2020’
Yeah truth be told I think they expected it to be released before the end of 2020, but it’s obviously delayed... most likely due to overheating issues... we may very well have another air power on our hands here lolToday I learned 😅 Doesn't really make sense but won't argue, technically that puts them still within their roadmap, however they've since changed their stance to "will be released this year", so...

Changed to January 9thThis is the site where it previously said January 9th. Now it says January 5th. Fingers crossed.
Yeah I saw that. Who knows how accurate this all is. 🤷♂️Changed to January 9th![]()
Likely not much but it's the best we have. And it's just an ETA anywaysYeah I saw that. Who knows how accurate this all is. 🤷♂️
What a ridiculously vague answer. Starting to get really annoyed now.
I have give up waiting and got the duo... will get a third party stand when other companies come out with them cheaper I thinkWhat a ridiculously vague answer. Starting to get really annoyed now.
I feel annoyed as well, but not much we can do. I just hope that they are giving an accurate estimation now.What a ridiculously vague answer. Starting to get really annoyed now.
I'm starting to consider it, tbh, due to the fact that the Qi charging mat doesn't make a difference to me... but the 50€ difference for full speed charging is putting me off. And this way I'll be ready for when I upgrade to AirPods with wireless charging. I believe many will feel the same way. One can put those 50€ towards a new case, for example.I have give up waiting and got the duo... will get a third party stand when other companies come out with them cheaper I think

Yeah 100% considering the unit they sent to a reviewer on YouTube was a non-working prototype a few weeks ago suggests it’s no where near release as of yet.It’s clear they prematurely announced this product to steal thunder from the duo , especially over the holiday season.
It’s nowhere near ready in my opinion.
I don't think the concern here is if the MagSafe Duo is decent or not. It is an Apple product and all of us know what to expect from Apple (a few quirks here and there, yes, but we're all here because we feel their products are solid)The MagSafe duo is decent to be fair, and I just thought to myself... is the Belkin really worth £150 for what is essentially a third party charger... when come release there will be several MagSafe chargers available for half the price some will likely look a lot better and support night stand mode with the watch.
Even if I was to eventually just get the Belkin the duo is great for other areas of the home (away from the nightstand) or when travelling etc... so IMO you can’t really go wrong with the duo at this point.
Reviews are now being published with a January 8th release date when Belkin itself is saying otherwise on their site. Pathetic.
MacRumors. 9to5Mac.Can you please point us to these reviews, please?
Belkin doesn't state a release date and January 8th is within their latest estimated time-frame so I'm unsure of where they're wrong![]()
Is this answer still on their site? Because all the reviews today say January 8th and you'd have to think Belkin would tell these sites otherwise if it weren't true.
I don't think so. It seems to have been changed to this:Is this answer still on their site? Because all the reviews today say January 8th and you'd have to think Belkin would tell these sites otherwise if it weren't true.
Well that's good at least. If it doesn't drop by the 8th then obviously something is up. It's however very weird that Belkin support would say 'a month or so' if that weren't the case.
