Double Charger Duty

The PlugBug by Twelve South is Made Specifically for Apple Devices

— November 4, 2011 — Tech
Although traditional power bars offer the same convenience as the PlugBug by Twelve South does, there is something much more appealing with the latter. This two-in-one plug not only looks significantly better than a power bar, it also features a USB slot that most bars do not. Not to mention that it is significantly more compact as well.

In addition to those details, the PlugBug by Twelve South is specifically made for Apple products, actually attaching itself to one’s existing Macbook plug. While people stockpile laptops, iPads, iPhones and more, it becomes quite a hassle to charge all these devices at once. PlugBug by Twelve South provides an easy and good-looking solution that will have people’s computers and gadgets juiced up for another round of everyday use.

1. Compact Multi-device Charging - Products that offer compact and convenient charging for multiple devices are becoming increasingly essential for gadget enthusiasts.
2. Apple-specific Device Accessories - The popularity of Apple devices means that there is an increasing market for specialized accessories that cater to the unique needs of Apple users.
3. Two-in-one Tech Accessories - Consumers are increasingly interested in products that offer multiple functions, such as the combination of a power bar and USB slot in the PlugBug by Twelve South.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - As the number of gadgets people own increases, the need for convenient charging solutions and specialized accessories will continue to grow.
2. Tech Accessories - The popularity of Apple devices creates ample opportunity for innovation in the realm of specialized device accessories, as illustrated by the PlugBug by Twelve South.
