Apple Magsafe Duo Wireless Charger
How wise are the Magi. They brought us the dual Magsafe charger so we can charge our Apple devices wirelessly. In my case they are an iPhone 11 PRO and an Apple Watch Series 5 .
At first I thought they were not compatible devices since I thought it was a charger that could only be used from the new iPhone 12, but I was wrong. The Magsafe Duo is compatible with the iPhone X onwards and with all Apple Watch as we well expose in the last image that we provide in this article.Of course, it is not as functional as with the iPhone 12, but hey, it is a "con" that we will tell you about later.

The first thing we have to say is that, as we already indicated in one of our articles about the Magsafe Duo, if you don't have a USB-C power adapter, you're going to have to buy one. We bought this USB-C adapter.
Magsafe Duo PROS:
Next we are going to name all the good things about this new wireless charger:
- Being able to remove the Apple Watch charger and the charging cable from our iPhone 11 PRO from our nightstand makes everything much more tidy. In addition, being able to fold it makes the table much clearer and tidy, something that was not the same with cables.
- Charging iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously on the same platform is the best. Personally, I charge the devices at night and it comes in handy since, by being able to recline the Apple Watch, it makes it possible to use it as an alarm clock as you can see in the following image.

- The loading time of the devices is good. It is not as effective as it could be with the new iPhone 12 but it charges quite quickly. Our iPhone 11 PRO takes time to charge, from 49% to 100% in about 130 minutes. The Apple Watch from 10% to 100% usually takes about 80 minutes.
- It is a very comfortable charging base to transport. We can fold it and carry it in any compartment of a backpack or suitcase.

Cons of this Apple Dual Charger:
We have only found two cons:
- Having to buy a USB-C power adapter, a type of accessory that many users don't have.
- Not being able to enjoy it at full capacity like with an iPhone 12 or higher. Not magnetizing much means that, for optimal charging, you have to place the iPhone as centered as possible. If you don't, it loads quite slowly. Our iPhone 11 PRO, when placed on the charging base, magnetizes very little. We remember that the iPhone 12 and higher remain completely stuck, which guarantees a 100% effective charge. This is something we miss, but it is "understood" that it only works with the new apple devices.
These PROS and CONS can be extended to all iPhones prior to the iPhone 11. Without a doubt, a very good device that we recommend you buy, even if you do not have an iPhone 12 or higher.
