Imagine this: you're rushing to catch your flight, heart pounding, and suddenly, panic sets in. You can't find your iPhone charger! It's happened to the best of us, but what if we told you there's a charger that can't be left behind? Enter the PlugBug, a wall charger that comes equipped with Apple's Find My technology. This means your iPhone can actually tell you where your charger is, even if it's hiding at the bottom of your bag or tucked away in a hotel room. 

But does this mean we're becoming too reliant on technology to remember basic things? And what happens if the Find My network goes down? 

The PlugBug comes in two flavors: a two-port model that delivers up to 50W of power and a four-port version that can handle up to 120W. The four-port model is a bit bulkier, weighing in at 0.55 pounds compared to the 2-port version's 0.25 pounds. This begs the question: is the added convenience of finding your charger worth the extra weight and bulk? 

Twelve South, the company behind the PlugBug, is confident that this charger will revolutionize the way we travel and charge our devices. They even made a video showcasing its features. But is this just a gimmick, or does the PlugBug truly solve a real problem? 

You can preorder the PlugBug now for $69.99 (50W) or $119.99 (120W), with shipping expected to begin in mid-September. 

The PlugBug raises some interesting questions about our relationship with technology and the convenience it offers. It's up to each individual to decide if this innovative charger is worth the price tag and the and the potential implications.
