A bit expensive, but will be buying one day one. I love the compact design; it will be great once travel begins again.
I agree. It looks like a knock off design that came from Amazon.
I might be tempted to pick one of these up if I were still traveling on a more frequent basis, but at $129 + tax, probably going to pass.
Love the portable design. It reminds me of the time when traveling was still an option.
Go Anker, do your Anker magic and make a cheap 40€ knock off.

That’s nice. I’m still not dropping 150 bucks plus taxes on one. And yes I include the 20 dollar charging block because it is required to get full speed charging out of this thing because of Apple’s walled garden approach to everything now extending to chargers apparently.
Cause everyone has it, for the environment. Don't be silly now, your draw is full with them
Was looking forward to this for traveling as well but at this price I would be worried it be lifted from my hotel room.
It’s pricey sure. But so are the phones? I mean a fully loaded iPhone 12 Pro is $1500 USD. 129.00 is less than 1/10th the cost of the phone. You guys are using pricing metrics based on prices that have been gone for a few years now.
Samsung has been charging $89.00 for their fast Qi wireless charging stands (which only hold one phone and aren’t nearly as travel friendly) for years now. (Since the s5 or s6).
Im not saying it’s a good price. But it is priced to market standards for a branded accessory.

I wouldn’t even use it if it were given to me for free. I don’t want the iPhone to lay flat and would rather it charge faster. Even if it’s overnight.
Pass.
Pass.
I will never understand apples pricing - £40 for the new MagSafe charger. £75 for the Apple Watch magnetic dock. = £115 in total. This thing basically ties the 2 together and they charge £129 🤦🏽♂️
The UK price being same as USD is also another blow
Customers like me are to blame though as no doubt I’ll end up buying this for the convenience and function and in turn apple win again 😤.

I wonder if apple has started pricing products (at least not flagship products) with an intention of frequently putting them on sale in future. Looking at how quickly we have a sale on watch se, and the number of price drops we have had on AirPods, I wouldn’t be surprised.
really hoping people do not buy this overpriced charging option. Apple needs to know this is terrible
lmao I love these comments. “It’s not worth it for me so everyone else is stupid or a frivolous spender!” You must be fun at parties.
If this thing took USB-C instead of lightening I would buy it for work travel but, nope!
Why must I still travel with so many cords in 2022!

I'm just thrilled they don't include a power adapter!!
Lol people like you are the reason why Apple comes with ridiculous pricing. Yet you still seem it a great deal. No wonder
Why not USB-C. We’re trying to move away from the past….
$129 for a slow charging travel pad with no wall charger. Damn it Apple, this is why people make fun of Apple and Apple fans.
Far too overpriced. It really should have included a Fast Charger too and possibly some colour options too.
The fact that it doesn’t come with usb-c and no wall charger is just offensive. What are you supposed to do? Charge two devices with the 5W charger Apple claims we have so many laying around?
In fact, even the design looks like something you would find on WISH for 10 bucks and most importantly, that white color doesn’t go with anything in my bedroom!
even better
HomePod Mini - 99$
iPhone Case - 149 EUR

Wow, I thought the most useless product of 2020 will be the original magsafe, then they release this
Terrible design. Looks like a cheap piece of vinyl. Probably took a few hours to design. I love Apple products, but come on. We deserve better. $129.00? No thank you. Take the 1 off and I still wouldn't pay $29.00 for it.
