Today we're tracking a pair of deals on Apple's two MagSafe accessories, the MagSafe Charger and MagSafe Duo Charger. These sales can both be found on Amazon, and both are in stock and ready to ship out today.

Amazon is offering Apple's MagSafe Charger for $34.00, down from $39.00. This has been the most consistent deal on the MagSafe Charger for the past few months.



The MagSafe Charger magnetically aligns with the magnets in the iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, and 12 mini. It's also compatible for wireless charging with iPhone models dating back to the iPhone 8. It has an attached USB-C cable, but it doesn't come with a 20W USB-C Power Adapter.

Apple's other MagSafe accessory, the MagSafe Duo Charger, also remains on sale this week. You can get this dual-purpose device for $112.45 on Amazon, down from $129.00. The MagSafe Duo provides charging to both a Qi-compatible iPhone and an Apple Watch.



We've seen the MagSafe Duo Charger go down to as low as $99.00 in previous sales at Best Buy, but that sale hasn't ever returned. Amazon's offer today is the second-best price that we've tracked, and it's a solid discount for those interested in purchasing the accessory soon.

MagSafe Duo launched in December 2020 and offers a ‌MagSafe‌ charging puck for the ‌iPhone 12‌, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, and 12 mini, along with an Apple Watch charger. The ‌MagSafe‌ Duo features a foldable design for easier portability, and it ships with a USB-C to Lightning cable.

I truly couldn't dislike the duo charger more. I bought for my GF for xmas and it would not work with any existing charger we had. Not a single one - not any charger that came from Apple, not a single 3rd party we had, not built into the outlet itself (brand new and expensive ones I put on both sides of the bed). So I ordered the Apple specific charger. It literally will not work with any charger other than Apple's and the damn duo doesn't even come with it. The whole point was a single and small device to use while on trips. But then you have to remember to bring the damn wall-wart that works with it. And you know that never happens.

As for a gift...it's caused my GF way more frustration and NOT charged devices than it ever once helped. It's genuinely, real-world, useless (for us). I'm pretty sure she likes me less for even introducing it to her life. Dramatic, yes, but oi the frustration it brought to my life for a few months of really wanting it to be useful.

The Duo requires a USB-C PD 3 compatible charger. Lots of third party chargers work, but you have to pay attention to what you plug it into to ensure that it's PD 3.0 compatible. The only third party in-wall outlet that would work is the Leviton T5635-W, but that won't charge at the max if another USB plug is in the other side (even if nothing is plugged in).
 
Love mine!

It's on the night stand and I fold it up every morning. Perfect for travel. I would usually travel quite a bit, but on the one trip I had so far, it was easier to carry and worked great.

On a side note...as a product management professional...I don't think people on here really understand how or why products are priced the way they are. ;)
