Labor Day discounts are heating up, including a deal on Apple’s MagSafe charging pad that brings the price down to $29 on Amazon from its usual $39, a 26 percent savings and close to a record low. If you’ve never used a charging pad before, you’re in for a treat as it’s simple to use – just plug it in and place your device on top for wireless charging. The MagSafe charging pad is compatible with most Apple handsets from the iPhone 8 onwards, although the magnetic locking mechanism only works with the iPhone 12 and newer models, making it a bit more challenging to place older phones. This charging pad also powers up charging cases for AirPods earbuds and features strong internal magnets for easy phone placement. The downside is the shorter power cable, which may require furniture rearrangement or an extension cord. While the original $39 price may have been a deterrent compared to cheaper off-brand products, this sale makes it a more attractive option. Instead of settling for a third-party charger at $25, snag the genuine Apple MagSafe charging pad for just $29.
