Twelve South today announced a new addition to its PlugBug charger lineup with the launch of the PlugBug Slim, a new 20W USB-C charger that's useful for travel with its thin design.
Priced at $24.99, Twelve South describes the PlugBug Slim as a space-saving charger that's 0.67 inches thick (17mm), so it better blends into the wall and fits into tight spaces where furniture might be close to an outlet.
The prongs of the PlugBug Slim are designed to fold down so that it can be tucked into a pocket or slipped into a bag or purse when on the go, and there's a small light at the bottom to let you know when your device is charging.
The PlugBug Slim is a GaN charger, and while there are many GaN charging options on the market now with compact designs, there are fewer that have focused on a slimmer profile for small spaces. At 20W, the PlugBug Slim works with the iPhone models and offers fast charging, charges up the iPad, and supports the HomePod mini.

This isn't powerful enough to charge a 2021 iPad Pro, right?
Why are you asking?
First:it's the same 20W as the original charger delivers Second: you can even charge your MacBook Pro with a small 5W charger. It takes a few hours but it works. Third: slower charging generally ends in a longer battery life, so you should charge your devices at full supported speed, only if really needed (thankfully, Apple had built in some intelligence in their charging electronics, to regulate the charging power based on your usual needs)
