MagSafe Duo Charger is a lovely product. A lot nicer in fit & finish than competitor products. Works reliably. Great to snap closed, throw into a suitcase and use in a hotel.

Would love Apple to update it with USB-C, fast charge for Apple Watch, and accommodations for larger iPhone model dimensions.

My guess is that reduced prices are to sell off current inventory

Ive looked at this charger a few times but never gone for it… it was just too expensive for what it is considering all of the other accessories and cables i have.

An updated one in black and a slightly lower price might tempt me, in the future 🤔

There are plenty of alternate chargers on amazon that are substantially cheaper and work just as well. The one I have is usb-c, and does magsafe/watch/lightning. There are models with magsafe/watch/qi as well (for those who have the airpod wireless charger).

I don't understand how putting two chargers together basically doubles or triples their price. It looks like a nice piece of kit, but I'll never try it as it's just too expensive to justify. Love my regular MagSafe chargers, though!

You have to figure in quality of construction too. I have traveled with cheaper versions and they break. I have had the duo for a few years now and it's still going strong. Its compact. Folds up well. And is great for hotel rooms for charging overnight. Given how much I travel, I have no problem justifying the convenience and cost of it :)

I have no doubt it's well made, as with all things Apple. My comparison was with the standard Apple MagSafe charger and their own watch charger. Even when compared to Apple's own separate wireless chargers (not cheaply made third party alternatives) it's pricey.

I guess I'm not the target customer, I just take my standard MagSafe charger and separate Apple Watch charger with me when I do travel and I have an assortment of cables in my laptop bag that allow me to charge everything I would ever have with me. It looks nice, though, and if it were say $50 I might try it out.

I do understand what you are saying, but cost is a factor of a lot of things other than individual components (or raw materials). The hinge mechanism is an add on for example, and while it may seem simple, to make it work well and be robust is a cost. and no doubt because apple knew it was going to sell less of these the whole economy of scale worked against it compared to things they bundled (at one point) with their devices.

anyway, yep its not cheap. agreed. I guess I am the target audience, I try to make my travel pack as light and easy as it can be so I dont have to pack and repack for each occasion. If I can eliminate extra cords and bits and bobs I do. and it just makes the whole night table easier to work with if I dont have all sorts of things dangling about. And I am willing to pay for that convenience. But for other things that people might put a premium on, I might no pay. That's why choice is such a good thing, we all have different priorities.

My guess is you can find one for $50 in some used market.

No need to guess since it’s discontinued. Paid $99 for mine years ago. Cringed a bit when I did even at the ”sale” price but realized its travel convenience. Love this charger for that reason. One very slim charger that fast charges two devices with a single cable and power supply. I keep a cable and PS in my luggage so when I travel I just grab the duo.

There are less expensive knock-offs on Amazon, etc but none are MagSafe, capable of 14w charging.

One downside is it doesn’t perfectly fit the Max iPhones, though never had a problem either with fast charging or heat. But with the slightly larger Max supposedly coming this year anyones guess if that model will fit at all, so a bit of caution there.

overpriced and outdated still

I love mine and did not mind paying the price at all.... I charge my phone overnight so having a slower charger that's not zapping extra heat in to my battery is perfect for me. on the occasions that I need fast charging in a pinch I would use a USB C cable anyway..... and this thing is absolutely amazing for travelling, the design is perfect to throw in a carry-on or duffel bag and go.

Still overpriced, still requires Apple’s 20w charger to function properly and never updated to the newer fast charging standards.

It’s not slow charging the phone. its slow charging the watch, which i usually like to top off while getting ready in the morning
 
That these to devices suddenly have discounts makes me think there are new versions in the pipeline.
 
Now is a good time for me to pick one of the Duos up. I don’t care if the watch charger isn’t as fast as it could be. I don’t trust third party chargers (bad luck in the past), so this is right up my alley.
