At least on the UK site, MagSafe Duo charger finally is on the Apple site, but in a 'Coming Soon' mode. I however cannot understand how on earth Apple is charging £129 for it! The MagSafe charger as a standalone is less than £40 and the apple watch charger is much cheaper too. Really frustrated by it, but I'll end up spending the money because I'm a sucker :(

£129 + £19 for the Apple plug, kind of a joke... I expected £79-99 + £19 for the plug add on.
 
I would have been ok with that price. Anker released a new 20W USB C plug. It's only fractionally cheaper though.
 
Only Apple would sell a charger without a charger. Let alone at that price! My god, stop awarding bad behaviour with your wallet. That is an utter joke! There will be an identical Chinese version (probably off the same assembly line) for $40 within a month.

Looks like we're getting closer to ordering and shipping. Though it's not yet available on Apple's website, it is on Best Buy's. I ordered one at Best Buy's "twentypercentoff" sale and I got charged this morning. Looking forward to seeing how this accommodates my 12Pro Max, which I love so far, and my AW.
 
I keep checking Apple’s website every day and no sign of it and Amazon don’t seem to know when it’s coming out either. I was kind of hoping that they would’ve released it yesterday when they released the leather sleeve
 
I don’t have a watch so this thing doesn’t appeal to me.

What would appeal to me is a Duo Charger that takes an iPhone on one side with a pop-up Nightstand mode, & AirPods on the other side.
 
I am surprised that this device isn't available to purchase yet. Several reviewers on youtube had appraisal models weeks ago. I am wondering if Apple have found some issues and are tweaking it. Lets hope this isn't turning in to another Airpower.
 
I think this will be ideal for travel. Right now I use one of Apple pop-up watch chargers because I like to use my watch in in nightstand mode. This will be smaller and lighter that charger and one plug will operate both my watch and my phonne.

I don’t plan to use this for my nightstand at home.

Just ordered mine for delivery in UK for my upcoming visit next week ..... I see it’s also available in UAE so I guess widely available.
 
Ordered. Since I'm cheap, I choose the free shipping so I'll get it on Friday instead of Thursday. Hopefully it will come Thursday either way haha.
 
I've decided to order one and see how I find it....no power brick is hardly an issue as I have too many as it is.

charging speed isn't a massive issue given it's going to be on my bedside for at night

Likewise for me it will be an overnight bedside charger so no speed issue but has the advantage of being neat to pick up, fold and travel. I have a ton of USB-C plugs so happy not to get another. Can always pop on my AirPods for a top up when needed.

im tempted to use the lowest watt possible to avoid any heating issues...I know I have a 18w from my iPhone 11 Pro in my bag never used so could always use that but if I don't need fast charge then any brick will do
 
So I ordered one at midnight today (UK time). I had an option to spend more on delivery to get it for 4th December, or free postage for Monday 7th December. I went for the free option. It just got dispatched and is already on its way to the final depot, and scheduled to be delivered tomorrow (3rd December) lmao. It wouldn't have come any quicker if I spent the extra money on faster postage.

A lot of times Apple under-promises and over-delivers with free delivery anyway.
