Thanks. Is there any advantage, in terms of charging, to use a separate charging puck for the phone (12 pro) and a separate magnetic charging dock for the watch?Apple recommends using the 20W adapter for best results, I’d stick with it.
No point in charging both devices separately, no point in having the duo charger then.Thanks. Is there any advantage, in terms of charging, to use a separate charging puck for the phone (12 pro) and a separate magnetic charging dock for the watch?
if I did that, I would lose the convenience of the MagSafe Duo. I mainly charge overnight, but not exclusively so.
How big is the power adapter? Is it larger than the Apple 20W USB-C?
Is it physically larger than the 20W?I use the Apple 30W USB-C power adapter. This is the only way to yield 14W wireless charging...![]()
Weird. I understand that the 29W adapter is older; but 20W is enough for both sides, not 29W?The 29W one will technically work, but it will only power one side, whichever side happens to connect to a device first, can’t charge both.
Here you go ?How big is the power adapter? Is it larger than the Apple 20W USB-C?
What country are you in, or are these for?
It has something to do with the power delivery I think. Something to do with the Volts that it can handle?Weird. I understand that the 29W adapter is older; but 20W is enough for both sides, not 29W?
To summarize the article below:
"In order to eke out the faster 14W wireless charging speed, Apple says that a 30W power adapter (or higher) is required. In other words, to get the best performance out of the MagSafe Duo, you can end up spending as much as $178 when coupled with Apple’s $49.00 30W USB-C power adapter. For those that don’t care about the fastest speeds, Apple’s $19.00 20W USB-C Power Adapter will yield you speeds up to 11W."
You need the Apple 30W charger to get the max charging speed, the 20W only charges at 11W...I care about charging speeds, that’s why I’m using the $19 Apple 20W charging brick which gives me the maximum charging speeds when using an USB-C to Lightning cable. Anything else is overkill and a huge waste of money, imo.
I had one delivered yesterday. Thanks.You need the Apple 30W charger to get the max charging speed, the 20W only charges at 11W...
I realise that this is about MagSafe (which I personally think is a gimmick), but the best way to charge a newer iPhone at maximum speed is by using the official 20W Apple charger (wired). Only the 12 mini is limited to 12W when using MagSafe (no such limitations when using a USB-C to Lightning cable instead). The other models are limited to 15W when using MagSafe (regardless if you use 20W or 30W). The watch has a tiny battery and won’t benefit from that 30W brick at all.You need the Apple 30W charger to get the max charging speed, the 20W only charges at 11W...
