I'm waiting for the Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Magsafe Charger. It's $20 more but includes a 40w power supply.
Got a tip for us?

This looks like a pretty decent charger but when you start to remember what AirPower was supposed to be this is like totally pathetic. But I’ll still probably get one because I’m pathetic too
Sunk cost fallacy. I’ve spent so much money I may as well spent more. Casinos love this logic
This is so stupid. Android phones have reverse charging so no need for an expensive accessory...
Sexy. But not $130 sexy IMHO.
Not as pretty, and it doesn't fold - but here's one for 20€. Bring your own watch charger.

Go Anker, do your Anker magic and make a cheap 40€ knock off.

Glad i ordered an Apple Leather Case... now i won't be tempted to buy this, because i don't want to get the ugly ring on the back
I can't wait and hope I receive before end of year break. I'm always seeking ways to reduce the amount of ITC gear that I take with me when travelling - this is a simple, practical and compact solution. I like Apple's ethos of, 'keep it simple'. Price here is $199 multipled by 2 as partner wants one also.
I guess you have to buy the 20w charger separately, I’ll pass.

I may eat my words, but I don't think MagSafe is going to last even as long as 3D touch did—unless Apple starts including a MagSafe charger in the iPhone box.
AirPods aren't in the box, but people like listening to music. So their success makes sense.
Nobody really likes charging their phones. Charging isn't a feature. It's a hassle. I don't see this taking off to make it a little bit less of a hassle.

USB-C to lightning? Why? New products should all be USB-C from 2020 on.
Same here ... but I'm not so sure about that magnet ring not appearing on the back even if you don't use MagSafe accessories. We all see how after a bit of time leather wallets take contours of the cards and items, etc. I'm just waiting for it to show up no matter what, then I'll buy a MagSafe charger /sGlad i ordered an Apple Leather Case... now i won't be tempted to buy this, because i don't want to get the ugly ring on the back
Why didn't they let it just keep unfolding until it made a triangle? Then with a landscape "night mode" or something you could have your phone facing you as an alarm clock.
Exactly. I can see how people who “just want to charge” would view this a “rip-off.” However, comparing it to cheap Amazon chargers isn’t really a great argument. Is there anything similar to this from a third party company? I don’t think so. Regardless of how offended people seem to be about an accessory they don’t have to buy, I’m sure Apple will sell a ton. I will be picking up 3 on day one.
Here we go again with the futuristic music as we watch a random guy whip out this new product. Despite their best effort, or not, there's no way I would spend 129. Perhaps I'm losing my Apple mojo, or maybe I'm just getting old.
More to say… I will pay through the nose for good products, but even with Tim Cook's tighter than a cats' meow standards; this thing isn't worth more than $79.

It really provides nothing, because it's a charging device that isn't capable of charging out of the box.
Only Apple gets away with crap like this.
Strange, how those go hand in hand far too often. That being typed, I'll end up picking up three for travel.
Bro same! Lmao this does not seem appealing at all. I don’t see the hype whatsoever.
Of course you will, its the best Magsafe charger ever and its made for you.

It looks like a book of matches. I just hope I’m not paying $130 for a wireless charger that can’t charge my phone and AirPods at the same time. How dumb would that be for the Apple Watch base to ONLY work on the watch?
Go ahead. But the last time I looked, neither the HomePod mini nor the Apple TV could charge my phone, AirPods or Watch.
I thought, $60, maybe $65. $129? Wow... Overpriced? No, I'm apparently under leveraged. If I had a billion dollars, I'd have one for each pocket car and suitcase. Obviously 10 year old Levi's jeans, but...
I think they have been snorting some 'bad stuff' in that loop thing. A $40,000+ cheese grater with $1,000 monitor stands, $500 wheels, and now a $130 folding charger thing for travel, in the time of Covid. Um... That's all I got.
But I would probably buy one for $60...
