Apple Hardware and Compatible Accessories

Hello,
I am having a devil of a time looking for a 3 in 1, mag safe charger.
Must charge phone, apple watch, and airpods, and have iPhone 12 magsafe capability.
must be released now, not have promises of a future pending release date which will never happen.
Any ideas? I've been googling for 2 hours but no luck.

I don't think this exists yet to order. Belkin announced a 3 in 1 mag safe compatible charger, but at the moment it says coming later this year.

I believe apple will release theirs for $119. I hope I misread the price. it will be for iPhone and watch only, if I remember correctly.

Someone know how to modify a standard wireless charger to become MagSafe? I doubt that what I’m looking for will ever be released if it’s not released now, so it sounds like I will have to pay someone to modify one for me. I been looking for instructions, but I can’t find any. Just the fact that the companies will not commit to a firm release date signals to me that it will never be released

I read an article on Apple news the other day that talked about the exact thing you are looking for. I cannot remember off the top of my head where the article was or who wrote it. You are looking for a charging stand. There are a few of them out there but you will have to search to find them. I believe the article was titled something along the lines of the best new accessories for iPhone 12. It was by N gadget or possibly business insider.

I did not put this in my last post, but expect to pay between 75 and $150 for whatever charging stand you find. Nomad is a good brand that you can look at. S the charging stand maybe MagSafe compatible but, you will have to provide the MagSafe cable from Apple. The same might work for the Apple Watch part of the charging stand.

Another question, Will the chargers we have still work on the 12 models? Good to know especially since Apple won't include a charger in the box.

I wouldn't use them. They are smaller bricks. Get one with 18-20 WATS in output.

so more news on this. the 129 dollar charger will only charge at 11 wats not 15 and to get the full experience you will need to pay almost ?$200. Here is the tweet and link.

MagSafe Duo charger costs $180, not $129, to charge at full speed https://9to5mac.com/2020/11/18/magsafe-duo-charger/ by @benlovejoy https://t.co/KZZRa5nNOa

I'm not too happy about this, but maybe someone will come up with a cheaper but quality option.
