At the Apple Event on October 13, the company brought back the MagSafe Charging technology to the iPhone 12 series. The official MagSafe accessories include a MagSafe Charger, MagSafe Charging Case, and a MagSafe Duo. However, we don’t have the details of the MagSafe Duo yet. Now, it has reportedly been certified in Korea indicating an imminent launch.
As reported by Macrumors, the “MagSafe Duo Charger” has finally hit Korea’s NRRA Certification. NRRA is Korea’s National Radio Research Agency. As per the certification, the model number of the charger is A2458. Interestingly, the charger is made in China and not in Korea. Sadly, the certification doesn’t reveal much here.
MagSafe Duo: what we know so far
Still, Apple’s Press release on its official website still includes the keywords MagSafe Duo Charger in three places along with an image. One of them says the Charger will be available at a “later date”. Anyway, at the event, Apple said that MagSafe Duo Charger can charge both the iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously. You can take a look at the folding mechanism below:
Besides, the Duo Charger, albeit laying flat, looks very little like the reportedly canceled AirPower. This is because the images show a foldable design with what looks like soft pad material at the surface. Accordingly, Apple also said that the MagSafe Duo is light and portable for travel.
That said, the Charger aside, among the iPhone 12 series, the pre-orders of the remaining iPhone 12 Mini and 12 Pro Max are yet to begin on November 6. Also, Apple has scheduled an event on November 10 where it is expected to unveil the new ARM Macs.
So, there is a possibility that MagSafe Duo might go live around the same time but let’s wait for the official word. We got to know how the MagSafe Charging coil looks inside the iPhone 12 but will have to wait for a bit to know the insides of the MagSafe Duo.
