If you wanted to, you could justify the purchase by saying it’s only $61 for the MagSafe Duo since you’d be buying the pucks anyway? Now it doesn’t sound so bad. Keep in mind though, that it comes with the Apple Watch charging puck, which is $29 if you buy it standalone, and the $39 MagSafe charger. The MagSafe Duo Charger is $129, which is definitely not cheap. ![]() ![]() When it was initially announced, there was a lot of complaining about the price. I know it’s only a rat’s nest of two cables but they’re both long and tangly.Īs a possible simplification, Steve got me the MagSafe Duo Charger from Apple for Christmas. It’s more space-efficient, but at night it is still annoying to have the rat’s nest of cables hanging off the charger. When it’s charged up, I can move the battery around to wherever I need it and share some juice with fellow travelers. With the Omni 20 in my bag, I don’t have to pack a charger block for the Apple Watch, one for the iPhone, one for the iPad, and one for the Mac, I only have to carry one small GaN charger for the Omni itself. Technically the Omni 20 supports Qi charging on top so I could charge my phone that way, but like many Qi chargers, placement is tricky to get just right and the phone can easily get bumped around, so I stick with the cables.ĭuring the day, I plug my laptop and iPad into the Omni 20 and also plug the Omni 20 into an outlet to charge both the battery and my devices via USB type C. On travel, I put the Omni 20 by my bedside at night, and hang a cable off of it to charge my phone and the charging puck to charge my Apple Watch. This is a 72Wh battery with 2 USB type C ports and 2 USB type A ports. One thing that has made it easier for me is the Omni 20 USB-C Power Bank I told you about in the middle of 2019. Like most of us, I continue to seek simplicity in charging when I travel. I don’t even go to dinner at our son Kyle’s house without a backpack containing a laptop, iPad and all the chargers and cables. I obviously don’t do much traveling right now, but when Steve and I do travel, about 1/3 to 1/2 of what we pack is electronics, cables and chargers.
