Yes, but it’s also at least 3x bigger! Compact is great f travel. Those whining about the price? Did u whine and then shell out over a $1,000 for an iPhone?! Just saying…This one's better at half the price:

I got this for my wife and think it's not great, really. It's not that compact, and trying to flip out the center of the Apple Watch part is basically impossible unless you have nails. I'd say it's not worth it. Perhaps on clearance for $50 it might be, and even then.

I love the Apple duo, but mine stopped working on a recent trip -- and the lighting cable it used did us no favors with all of our USB-C devices, so we were short on charging alternatives. This seems like it would be a great replacement -- but there's no way I'm paying $130 for it. I don't trust cheaper devices by random vendors on Amazon (I've tried two and they were crap). At this point, I think I may just end up taking cords from now on.
