After launching its AirPower project in 2019, Apple chose instead to offer a range of wireless charging products under the revived MagSafe brand. Last year, fast wireless chargers for Qi-enabled devices appeared, and compatible cases, sleeves and wallets that could stick to 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 charge two compatible devices simultaneously, including the Apple Watch for the first time. Now Best Buy is offering the Duo for $ 29 less (or 22 percent off) as part of a larger sale on all things MagSafe has to offer.

Interested buyers should note that the MagSafe Duo does not get a wall adapter out of the box. For that, Apple recommends buying a 20W USB-C adapter (a 29W USB-C power adapter will not work). This should come as no surprise to anyone who has recently purchased an Apple product, as both the Apple Watch and the iPhone 12 are not paired with one either. It is also noteworthy that the Duo charges the iPhone 12 Mini more slowly than its larger family, with a peak of 12 W power supply, compared to 15 W for the other iPhone 12 models.
Along with the above devices, the MagSafe Duo can also charge your AirPods drawer, and since it is compatible with Qi charging, it also works for the iPhone 8 or later. Plus, you can fold it up to take with you. There’s also a cheaper $ 39 MagSafe charger, but that’s not good if you want to charge your Apple Watch. Best Buy’s sales on Apple cases also apply to compatible MagSafe versions for the iPhone 12 series, which include transparent, leather and silicone containers starting at $ 20.
