TWELVE SOUTH BUTTERFLY SE 2-IN-1 Q12 CHARGER: MINIMALIST BEAUTY

The ButterFly MagSafe Charger is one of our favorite 2-in-1 Apple Watch and iPhone chargers, and Twelve South has now released a new, more affordable, colorful SE version that uses MagSafe-matching 15W Qi2 wireless charging technology.

The ButterFly Charger is a beautiful piece of design. Apple is so impressed with it that you can find it on sale in the Apple stores.

DESIGN

It's called the ButterFly because its round shape unfolds to display its two wireless charging wings: one 15W wireless charging pad for iPhone or AirPods, and one 5W adjustable pad for charging an Apple Watch.

It is compact and lightweight: 0.9 inches (2.35cm) high and 2.4 inches (6cm) wide and deep. It weighs just 4.2oz (104g), which is about 15g lighter than the metal ButterFly. Folded, it's about the size of an AirPods Pro case.

ButterFly will easily slip into a pocket, but remember that it does require a cable to connect to a USB-C wall charger.

It's a flexible design-folded back on itself, you can still use it to charge either iPhone/AirPods or Watch. Or you can unfold it to charge both at the same time. Or you can fold the charger 180 degrees and place the Watch in Nightstand mode. Flip it around, and you can set the iPhone in landscape StandBy mode using the ButterFly like a stand.
