When Apple released the Magsafe Duo back in December 2020, most people (including myself), thought it was a great idea. A MagSafe charger that could charge your iPhone and your Apple Watch in a slim, foldable, and portable design. It was, also, one of the few chargers that would support the 15W wireless fast charging for iPhones.<\/p>\n

But for $129 all you got was the charger itself and a short, 1 meter, USB-C to lightning cable. Meaning, that if you wanted to get the full fast charging power from the MagSafe Duo you needed to buy a 30W charging brick from Apple, which will,now, run you $36 (there are more affordable, non-Apple, 30W chargers available) . And then the final straw was, what if you travel with a 3rd device like AirPods or a secondary phone? You can only charge 2 devices at once, one being the Apple Watch, with the MagSafe Duo. <\/p>\n

My new favorite travel charger<\/h2>\n

In steps the Zeera MegFold foldable wireless charger. I have been using this tri-fold charger as my one and only travel charging companion. It does everything you would need it to do in the same form factor as the MagSafe duo while also including a 3rd wireless charging pad for a 3rd device. <\/p>\n
