Good discount for both the MagSafe chargers.

Yeah at this time I'd pay at most $15 for one. Had we been having this discussion before it was official that Lightning was on the way out I would have paid $30 for one. $80 is crazy, and $130 is bonkers.

overpriced and outdated still

Outdated, yes. But no one comes close when it comes to reliability and ease-of-use. Foldable, thin as a wallet, and nice hinge on the Watch puck.

All it needs is a USB-C port, Qi 2 standard and fast charging support for the Watch. If it ever comes back in the future with said upgrades, I'd buy it again at Day 1.

Still overpriced, still requires Apple’s 20w charger to function properly and never updated to the newer fast charging standards.

You just described every charger out there which requires a powerful enough brick to provide fast charging for multiple devices. Weird complaint about the 20W brick because you’re not going to be able to fast charge multiple devices simultaneously with a 5W brick.

But yeah, its not using the latest fast charge speeds.

Now is a good time for me to pick one of the Duos up. I don’t care if the watch charger isn’t as fast as it could be. I don’t trust third party chargers (bad luck in the past), so this is right up my alley.

It's a great charger. It charges my 15 Pro pretty quickly. The watch isn't as fast, but I charge it overnight anyway, so...

Just bought one so I’m excited. Good to know about the charging speeds since that’s what I do too.

It’s not slow charging the phone. its slow charging the watch, which i usually like to top off while getting ready in the morning

I top up my AWU while showering and getting dressed and have never had an issue... YMMV of course depending on how much you deplete your battery... My point is that it's not outdated and still very much useful for some folks.

Use the bigger 35w charger with it so it doesn't slow down when used together.
