Twelve South is expanding its portfolio with two new chargers that combine functionality, style and efficiency: PowerBug and PowerCord. The two gadgets are designed to make everyday life with Apple and Android devices more convenient – whether at your desk, when traveling or in the living room. In line with the motto “less cable, more convenience”, the manufacturer focuses on minimalist design, sophisticated technology and high charging performance.
The most important highlights:
- PowerBug: Magnetic 15 W MagSafe charger with additional USB-C PD port
- PowerCord: 30 W power supply unit with integrated USB-C cable for universal fast charging
- Both devices are compact, suitable for travel and available in several color variants
- Priced between EUR 29.95 and EUR 59.95 and available in Twelve South’s EU store
PowerBug: MagSafe meets minimalism
The new PowerBug is Twelve South’s answer to the desire for cordless tidiness. The small, magnetic charging puck transforms any socket into an elegant charging station for MagSafe or Qi2-compatible smartphones. With an output of up to 15 watts, it ensures fast and efficient charging – without any annoying cables.
A special feature is its compatibility with iOS standby mode: as soon as the iPhone is charging, the screen turns into a smart display that shows the time, weather, calendar events or smart home controls. This turns the charger into a functional element of everyday life that combines design and utility.
The PowerBug also offers a USB-C PD port that can be used to charge a second device. If this port is used in parallel, it delivers 20 W – without wireless charging it can even deliver 35 W. Foldable plug prongs and the lightweight housing make the PowerBug an ideal companion for traveling, the office or the bedside table.
The device is available in the colors Slate (black) and Dune (sand) at a recommended retail price of EUR 59.95 in Twelve South’s EU online store.
PowerCord: All-in-one charger with integrated cable
With the PowerCord, Twelve South presents another well thought-out charging accessory – this time with a focus on travel convenience and cable management. The compact 30 W power supply unit has an integrated USB-C cable that avoids adapter chaos and cable clutter.
The charger is universally compatible with all USB-C devices – from smartphones and tablets to small laptops such as the MacBook Air. With 30 watts of high-speed charging power, it offers enough power for everyday use while remaining surprisingly handy. Particularly practical: the downward-angled cable and slim plug allow it to be used even in narrow or hard-to-reach sockets, such as behind furniture or in aircraft sockets.
The robust, tangle-free cable is available in two lengths – 1.2 meters (EUR 29.95) or 3 meters (EUR 39.95) – and allows maximum flexibility when charging. Slate (black) and white (white) are available as color options. The PowerCord therefore fits seamlessly into Twelve South’s minimalist design portfolio and is aimed at users who value performance and aesthetics in equal measure.

The PowerBug (59.95 EUR) and PowerCord (from 29.95 EUR) are now available inTwelve South’s official EU online store. With these two new products, the accessory specialist proves once again that intelligent charging design can be both functional and attractive.
