Verizon today has solid discounts on Apple's three MagSafe accessories: the MagSafe Charger, MagSafe Duo Charger, and MagSafe Battery Pack. Verizon offers free two-day shipping and free in-store pick-up for all orders, and you don't need to be a Verizon Wireless user to take advantage of these deals.

In total, you can save 25 percent on MagSafe chargers with this sale, and no coupon is required. You can get the MagSafe Charger for $29.99, down from $39.00. The MagSafe Duo Charger is down to $96.74, from $129.00; and the MagSafe Battery Pack is down to $74.24, from $99.00.



Verizon has been one of the only retailers to consistently discount these accessories over the past few months, as well as provide all-time low prices on them. In this regard, the MagSafe Battery Pack and MagSafe Duo Charger are at the best prices we've ever tracked, while the regular MagSafe Charger is just about $2 higher than its best-ever price, so it's still a solid deal.

The carrier also has steep markdowns on iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 cases this week, as low as $12.49 for official Apple Silicone Cases. Be sure to visit our full Deals Roundup to shop for even more Apple-related products and accessories.

And my experience trying to buy this stuff at the local store was: Go to Worst Try instead. I'll likely be in stock, and they will price match. The local Verizon store sales droid just stared at me and blinked. Then denied any sales happening. DOH!
 
Warning: The Duo charger is not fully compatible with some the latest iPhones with the big camera bumps. The phones don't sit flush on the charger because the camera bump gets in the way.
 
When my wife got her iPhone 12 - Verizon sold magsafe chargers on sale for $18.99. I picked up one (I had an XS at the time, so couldn't use it). Now that I have a 14 Pro, I wish I'd picked up at least 2!
 
They have USB-C ...
If you want to be pedantic and count the wall end of the cable. The MagSafe Duo and Battery Pack are lightning input, and the battery doesn't include a cable.
Why would anyone buy a three-year old MagSafe duo that doesn’t fast charge watches and barely fits iPhones?
I wouldn't advocate buying it now, but only the series 7 and later support fast charge, so older models aren't missing out.
 
Verizon’s online ordering system is terrible. The one time I ordered something from them, I had an issue. I won’t recommend ordering from their website.
 
The Magsafe Duo still seems ridiculously expensive at $95 ... you get a Magsafe for iPhone charger that separately is $39 -- on sale for $29 in this post & you get a Watch charger that sells for $29 & you get a USBC cable that Apple charges $20 for ... that's it. The independent Magsafe charger & Apple charger would get you 2 new cables.

Is the convenience really worth it? At full price it seems like you're paying a lot for a folding container for 2 chargers. On sale it still seems expensive to me ...
 
I bought the Belkin 3-in-1 charger a year ago and it’s been fantastic. It’s quite expensive at $150 but it looks much better than the duo and can charge my airpods as well.

You're comparing a full on Desktop charging stand to something that is intended as a travel accessory.

This is the biggest omission for me. If it was USB C, then I could travel with my USB C macBook Charger and this - and be able to charge my phone, watch, laptop, iPad & earbuds (Beats Fit Pro). Having it be a lightning connector is redundant.
 
hmmmm. going on a trip soon ... should I get the MagSafe battery pack ?????
You should! I use it with my 13 Mini and it's great. It will work with the bigger phones too if you know how to use it properly. Since it slowly charges and it has limited capacity compared to other brands, it is highly recommended that you charge it to full then use it immediately with your fully charged phone at the beginning of the day. It will maintain a 89%-90% charge of your phone until the battery pack reaches a safe low level and stops charging. At this time, take it off the phone and use the phone without it.

My Mini lasts a day and a half with normal to heavy usage this way and both phone and battery packs don't heat up a lot, thanks to Apple's battery management. So yeah, I recommend it!
 
At Verizon webpage showed iPad mini 6 Smart Folio at $29.99 from $59 at Apple, I tried to buy 2 and didn't let me (showed me an error). I went to Best Buy and Matched Price with them and bought it. Later, I realized that probably was a Verizon error because they fixed the price hours later.

Never had any issues with them. You have an isolated issue.
 
Apple battery recently had a software update to speed up charging.

So I can’t decide which one to buy: apple battery or Anker 622 battery which is on sale on Amazon.
 
Why would anyone buy a three-year old MagSafe duo that doesn’t fast charge watches and barely fits iPhones?
I guess the same reason people buy an overpriced battery pack that only gives like 2100mAh compared to Anker with 4x the capacity at half or better of price
