Twelve South’s magenetic PowerBug charger is 20 percent off for Black Friday
My favorite deals are often on gadgets that pull double duty — like the Twelve South PowerBug, which is currently on sale for the first time for Black Friday. The handy charging accessory, which can turn any wall outlet into a miniature MagSafe charging station, is available for just $39.99 ($10 off) from Amazon and Twelve South.
Thanks to a built-in magnetic charging pad located on the front of the device, the PowerBug can deliver up to 15W of power to MagSafe-compatible iPhones and Qi2-compatible devices — including Google’s latest Pixel phones — once plugged into an outlet (no cable necessary). There’s also a built-in 35W USB-C Power Delivery port located on the underside, so you can charge a second device at the same time, whether that’s a pair of headphones, a tablet, or another phone.
Once placed in an elevated position, the PoweBug props your phone upright like a floating phone stand, making it great for following recipes in the kitchen or hopping on a FaceTime call. It also supports Apple’s StandBy mode when positioned horizontally, turning your iPhone into a mini smart display that can show the time, calendar events, photos, or other widgets at a glance. All in all, it’s a versatile little gadget that’s useful in a variety of scenarios, whether you’re traveling this winter or looking for a practical stocking stuffer.
