It will set you back US$129.99, but if you need to juice up an iPhone and Apple Watch while on the go, Twelve South’s Butterfly is the world’s smallest compact 2-in-1, USB-C, MagSafe portable charger.
Measuring only 2.25 inches wide by .5 inches high (about the size of an AirPods Pro case) when folded, it’s small enough to fit into a carry-on, purse, or even a pocket. Unfolded, a vegan leather tether (yeps, it’s environmentally friendly) connects two magnetic chargers for simultaneously charging your smartphone and smartwatch. Apple Watch Fast Charge works with all Apple Watch models, including the Ultra.
The Butterfly can also double as a display stand for your iPhone or Apple Watch that supports Standby and Nightstand mode. Not enough? The Butterfly can charge your AirPods Wireless Charging Case, too. Just lay the case on ButterFly’s MagSafe charger. AirPods Pro (2nd gen) can also use ButterFly’s Apple Watch charger, allowing you to charge both your AirPods Pro and iPhone simultaneously.
What’s more, the Butterfly comes with a 30W Power Adapter with four international Plug Adapters which is handy for global travelers.
Since aesthetics are important to we Apple fans, the folks at Twelve South have designed the charger with an anodized aluminum shell so it looks good sitting beside a Mac laptop. The included USB-C cable is braided to round out the sophisticated design.
