After discarding its AirPower project in 2019, Apple chose to offer a range of wireless charging products under the revived MagSafe brand. Last year, it saw the launch of fast wireless chargers for Qi-enabled devices and compatible cases, cases and wallets that could fit on the back of the iPhone 12. The most expensive and versatile item on the list was the MagSafe Duo: A $ 129 wireless charger that can simultaneously charge two compatible devices including, for the first time, the Apple Watch. Now, Best Buy is offering the Duo for $ 29 less (or 22% off) as part of a bigger sale of all things MagSafe.

Interested buyers should note that the MagSafe Duo does not come with an outlet power adapter out of the box. For this, Apple recommends buying a 20W USB-C adapter (a 29W USB-C power adapter does not work). This should not surprise anyone who has recently purchased an Apple product, as the Apple Watch and iPhone 12 also do not come with one. It is also worth noting that the Duo charges the iPhone 12 Mini more slowly than its larger relatives, with a peak power delivery of 12W, compared to 15W for the other iPhone 12 models.
Along with the devices mentioned above, the MagSafe Duo can also charge its AirPods charging case and, as it is compatible with Qi charging, it also works for iPhone 8 or later. In addition, you can fold it to load it. There’s a cheaper $ 39 MagSafe charger too, but that’s not a good thing if you want to charge your Apple Watch. Best Buy’s sale of Apple cases also applies to compatible MagSafe versions for the iPhone 12 line, which include transparent leather and silicone cases that start at $ 20.
