Twelve South PowerCord Review

The Twelve South PowerCord combines a 30W wall adapter and USB-C cable into a single, streamlined compact design which means a simple solution to your charging needs, For example i have countless plugs and cables hwoever these are all two part accessories while this is one plug and one cable all in one, thumbs up for that.

The plug itself is also small the cable is flat and braided and is robust and comes in tow lengths which is 1.2 or 3 meters it also has 30W PD 3.o charging which means fast charging all round and compatible with USB-C devices.

Twelve South launches PowerBug: Transforming standard plug sockets into sleek wireless charging docks

Twelve South, an innovative designer of tech accessories, today launches PowerBug – a unique magnetic charging puck that transforms a standard plug socket into a minimalist wireless charging station that also serves as a dock for devices.

Designed for wall-mounted power outlets at waist height or higher, users simply snap their MagSafe compatible iPhone (12 or newer) or Qi2 smartphone to this sleek magnetic wireless charger, freeing up desk or counter space and removing the need for trailing cables or freestanding wireless chargers.

PowerBug also supports iOS StandBy mode, so iPhones can be used as an intuitive display for checking the time, weather, making video calls, streaming shows and sport or even following a recipe in the kitchen. It can also be used to easily control smart home devices.

PowerBug delivers up to 15w of fast, wireless power for MagSafe and Qi2 devices, while an additional USB-C PD Port enables fast wired charging of a second device. When both charging functions are used, the USB-C PD port offers 20w power, or 35w if the wireless charging function isn’t in use.

It’s ideal for use in kitchens, where counter space is often at a premium, home offices, gaming dens and even offices and co-working spaces, where plug sockets are often located atop desks. PowerBug can easily be transported too, thanks to its compact design, light weight (less than 1kg) and folding prongs.

Available now in white/dune or slate/black exclusively from twelvesouth.co.uk for UK customers, it is priced at £49.99.
