Twelve South’s new ButterFly 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger is what Apple’s own MagSafe Duo should have been.
When you travel, less is more. This is especially true for your electronic devices, which can quickly become a mess due to all their various cables and chargers. That’s why having combo products works in your favor for these scenarios.
Twelve South has recently launched a new MagSafe charger for your iPhone, Apple Watch, and even AirPods that is super compact without compromising on charging speed. It’s the ButterFly 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger, and it’s a perfect accessory for your travel kit or bag.One of the best chargers for travel
Twelve South’s “ButterFly” is named that way because of how the charger is shaped. It’s basically two round halves featuring anodized aluminum shells that are connected by a vegan leather strap. The two pieces are also magnetic, which helps ensure they stay together. When it’s folded up, it easily fits into the palm of your hand.
There’s also vegan leather on the inner surface of the two pucks to prevent scuffs on your devices. The leather is rather soft and supple, which is nice. The anodized aluminum shell sports a matte finish, so it’s also pretty fingerprint- and smudge-resistant, which is always a bonus. Be warned, though — it can scuff easily if you drop it, which I found out when grabbing some photographs outside.
One of the reasons Apple stopped selling its own MagSafe Duo charger (along with the MagSafe Battery Pack) is likely because it was still using Lightning.
