Hey Stephen - Thanks for the review. I purchased the 12South HiRise 3 Deluxe last fall based on your initial review. Last winter, unexpectedly, the 15w MagSafe iPhone charger part stopped charging, so I could no longer use StandBy mode which I had become accustomed to. I contacted the company and, because they have a 1 year warranty, they shipped me a brand new unit at no charge to me and let me keep the old unit as well. Great customer service IMHO.
Out of this category, but I LOVE my 2-in-1 Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro. It may seem pricey, but its aesthetics is better imo than the most of the multipoint charges.
It has subtle look that’s perfect for standby mode. If you have AirPod Pros that can charge on the Apple Watch and MagSafe charger, you don’t really need more than the 2-in-1.
@@CJPorras Yeah, charging the Pro 2 on whatever puck is available, which is very nice. I wanted StandBy mode to look the best it can, so I had to pick that one.
I appreciate your try but what about charging speed test? You are talking about chargers without charging speed test. Sure all are qi2 but there would be differences, wouldn't be?
I’ve found they all charge between 11-14W consistently. If charging for a two hour period your iPhone will basically charge the same amount regardless of which stand you use.
strange, I have the first Belkin 3-in-1 and can still charge a phone on the bottom.. also, I charge my watch on it every day and it never turns around and moves the way you showed in the review 😂
I have an older 12 south charging phone stand and the connecting of the vertical stem to the base is a crappy screw connection!!! Very disappointed because all of the other 12 South Items I have purchase in the past were outstanding. No more 12 south!!!!!
Thanks for the video! I was looking a a comparison like this one. Please compare these with the Zens “Office Charger Pro 3” and “4-in-1 MagSafe + Watch Wireless Charging Station” these can also compete for the best tree wireless nightstand charging stations.
I got the ESR but it makes a quiet humming noise while charging. Just as a FYI for anyone looking into it. Was too frustrating for me in a quiet office space and I think I am going to return it.
I would not lie, I have Pitaka’s products, but I recently bought 3 SRA 3 in 1, #2 winer n cheapest to have at nightstands in our rooms n I love them. It really doesn’t bother us that u cannot tilted but the portable Apple Watch charger is great.
I remember on a previous podcast you mentioned that only the apple magsafe charger managed to charge your iPhone without it significantly heating up. How do these compare? I’m always afraid of wireless charging heating the battery and decreasing its health prematurely
i got the 1st gen belkin as a gift. still running strong. but if i was to get a 3 n 1 now it would def be the ESR. Covers everything for a portion of the price.
I got the Anker last month on sale for $80 with a free extra USB-C cable (they offer 12% first orders on their website with free shipping). The phone blocking part of the watch when in landscape doesn't bother me, but the slippery watch charger does and the sticker didn't really make a difference for me. I've gotten used to just placing the watch straight and adjusting it if necessary. I also like the bigger base, which makes it less likely to move around when I remove the phone. I found the Belkin just too wide and expensive for me
That would be nice, although some 3-in-1's have a little magnetic pull for AirPods. I believe this Amegat has it: ua-cam.com/video/iBELZfOStEw/v-deo.htmlsi=pGI-E1z8PEgoANfw
Between the Belkin Qi2 and the Anker 3 in 1's, which is more resistant to tipping/moving the base when removing the phone? Looking for one for my nightstand that is heavy/stable enough that it doesn't move. Also if you can compare them to the older Belkin magsafe 3 in 1, since that one is on sale right now and seems to be better with the removable cable. I have an ohsnap 4 magnetic grip that makes the magsafe way stronger so I need a super stable base and any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I'd say the Belkins will do better not moving when removing the phone. And if you don't need the tilting iPhone stand, the older Belkin would be great!
Is there one that includes all of: usb c, supports StandBy for iPhone, nightstand mode for Watch, fast charge for watch? Twelve south seems the closest. I don’t need a separate AirPods Qi charge.
There is a portable three in one magnetic charger that they sadly stopped making for some weird reasons. Do you have any opinion on one of those and do you have an alternative to suggest?
The ESR uses a mystery Qi2 module that's not very efficient and heats up. Charge performance and heat is very important as that's the primary reason to buy one. Satechi has also released 2-in1 and 3-in-1 units.

Great to hear about the customer service! I’ve always had a good experience with them.
You are so amazing. You have done a thorough review on those charges and I must say I chose the best charger for me.
I love this in depth look at all these products
Can you do a review of the new Benks Kevlar i pro 15 case

Belkin's 2-in-1 is particularly nice!

The original belkin did better with the watch. There’s been 3 models that look very similar but minor changes.
@@beardfm yeah that makes sense.. I still have that original one from when the iPhone 12 launched, I still swear by it to this day :)
ESR one of frequently returned items on Amazon, has some weird issues according to reviews..
Interesting, I use a bunch of ESR chargers and haven't had an issue
If you’re only charging Apple devices, MagSafe is better than Qi2, so that’s not really a drawback on the HiRise.
True, and I’m still using HiRise nightly!
The Hirise doesn’t seem worth it if it’s more than double the price of the ESR charger.
Depends on your aesthetic preferences, but the ESR is a great value!
I have an older 12 south charging phone stand and the connecting of the vertical stem to the base is a crappy screw connection!!! Very disappointed because all of the other 12 South Items I have purchase in the past were outstanding. No more 12 south!!!!!
Wow, that’s unfortunate. I’ve had this one for 6+ months and it’s been solid.

@@beardfmthat’s just on 1 charger though
Should i get the twelve south or the belkin one, the belkin is €40 cheaper for me. Or maybe something else? €170 seems steep for the twelve south

Odd, I didn't hear that. But would be super annoying.

Thank you for buying all of them so we dont need to do the trial and error. Ima grabing the ES. Thanks dude

The Anker one is nice, and if you have room the larger base does make it stable! +1 for the USB-C port too

I wish these had magsafe for AirPods too since the new AirPods have magsafe too

I like the Otterbox 15w 3-1 charging station is beneficial for me. Long 6ft cable is a must. Fast charges your iPhone and Apple Watch.
Will have to check that one out!
@@beardfm make a video of it. A lot of people missing out on the Otterbox products, even the MagSafe car charger is good.
I Love anker products ESR is my 2nd choice
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
Same to you
I have the belkin and I have no issues charging the watch without the sticker
Does anyone's esr 3 in 1 overheat the ipphone? My iPhones got super warm

The Belkin is probably your best best, the Twelve South doesn't have a USB connection.
@@beardfm fair - doesn’t do nightstand for watch though, right?

This one from Anker! ua-cam.com/video/E4RXN5m1sJ8/v-deo.htmlsi=9g51cmQMs5ctzSmu
Have you tested the new anker mag go charging pad/station? It’s like a rectangular pad with a tilting/rising MagSafe portion.
Do you mean this one? ua-cam.com/video/E4RXN5m1sJ8/v-deo.htmlsi=mOx_w494ZAXzLZ7D
@@beardfm no it’s this one A25M1+A2918. I haven’t seen any reviews besides some in Chinese. It says it came out about a month ago.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Appreciate it!
I’ll take the one you don’t like 😜

What about the aukey?
Haven't tried it yet, will check it out!
The ESR uses a mystery Qi2 module that's not very efficient and heats up.
Charge performance and heat is very important as that's the primary reason to buy one.
Satechi has also released 2-in1 and 3-in-1 units.
I’ll have to check out the Satechi models, and I’ve been using the ESR Qi2 car charger and it’s performed well.
What about spiegen arcfield ?
I'll try to get my hands on one!
@@beardfm update: I pulled the trigger on one since was on sale on Amazon for about $50. So far works great! 👍
amazing
