Apple's 25W MagSafe Charger Hits Record-Low Price
In a rare sale, Apple's 25W MagSafe charger with a two-meter cable has dropped to a record-low price of $35 at Amazon. This marks a significant discount from its usual price and makes the longer version cheaper than the one-meter version.
According to an Engadget spokesperson, "This is an unusual opportunity for customers to pick up Apple's high-quality charger at a discounted rate." The sale applies to both new and older iPhone models, including the iPhone 16, iPhone 17, and iPhone Air. However, users will need a 30W power adapter on the other end to charge their device at 25W.
The MagSafe charger can wirelessly top up the battery of any iPhone from the last eight years (iPhone 8 and later). While older iPhones may not reach the same charging speeds as newer models, the charger remains a valuable accessory for those with compatible devices. "For users who want to take advantage of fast wireless charging, this sale is a no-brainer," said an Engadget reviewer.
Background context shows that Apple's MagSafe technology has been gaining traction in recent years. Introduced in 2020, it allows for seamless wireless charging and data transfer between iPhone and other compatible devices. The 25W charger is one of the most powerful options available, capable of fully charging some iPhone models in under an hour.
Industry experts predict that this sale will drive sales of Apple's MagSafe accessories, potentially boosting the company's revenue in the short term. "This promotion highlights the growing demand for fast and convenient wireless charging solutions," said a market analyst.
The current status of the sale is that it is available exclusively on Amazon, with no word yet from Apple on whether the discount will be extended to other retailers or online platforms. As for next developments, Engadget expects Apple to continue innovating in the MagSafe space, potentially introducing new accessories and features in the coming months.
