Don’t forget that it still requires a USB-C wall charger (at least 20W recommended if you want the full 15W potential).

The most common wireless charging devices are currently smartphones and smaller supporting devices like smartwatches and earphones. When the setting is turned on, all you have to do is place your device on the pad, and it will begin storing power. Its main advantage over the non-certified competition is its 15W charging power. It’s still half as fast as using a Lightning cable, however, and if you are going to the bother of connecting this to a USB-C charger, why not just use a Lightning (iPhone 12/13/14) or USB-C (iPhone 15) cable? You can fast-charge an iPhone to 50% battery in around 30 minutes using a cable, while it takes around 50 minutes to wirelessly charge iPhone from 0 to 50% using even 15W MagSafe. However, the good news is that wireless chargers have got faster over the last few years. The first Qi standard wireless chargers delivered power at a maximum 5W, which meant they were pretty slow, but in 2015 the Wireless Power Consortium – the industry body responsible for wireless charger standards – introduced the Qi Extended Power Profile standard, which allowed chargers and phones to go up to 15W. If applicable, we will test wireless charging speeds with other supported devices, such as smartwatches and wireless earbud cases – where we apply the same 30-minute charging time. We benchmark the speeds of the supplied USB cable/plug, and, should the charger also support MagSafe, we test how secure the magnetic connection is. The stand works in landscape and portrait orientations but isn’t high. It does have adjustable viewing angles up to 60°.The Journey SWIV 3-in-1 reviewed above is a little larger but noticeably lighter, and also can fast-charge the Apple Watch. The typical carbon fiber twill brings a most classic and luxurious to the MagEZ Bar and your decoration While this is an impressive 3-in-1 charger, we prefer the HiRise 3 Deluxe for its adjustable iPhone pad and more flexible Watch charging module.

With the MagEZ Bar, you would never misplace your essentials or forget them somewhere when leaving home again.

The strong magnetic mount at the top makes for a secure connection with your iPhone 12, delivering 15W of charge, but there’s also a bowl-shaped mount on the base (not magnetic) which can be used to wireless charge your AirPods Pro headphones or any other Qi-compatible device. It looks the part, does the job nicely, and is an ideal choice if you often need to top up more than one device at a time. If you don’t own an Apple Watch, the cheaper 3-in-1 Modular Charging Station charges iPhone, AirPods and iPad. Also available from Apple. This 3-in-1 charger for iPhone, Watch and AirPods has a small footprint, a little smaller than even the Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe reviewed above. It also matches that charging station in terms of charging speed. It’s fully certified for iPhone (so fast 15W) and Watch (fast 5W). Non-certified rivals will charge an iPhone at 7.5W and Watch at 3W. The lower charging pad is rated at 5W and can be used to charge your AirPods or a second phone, although not magnetically and much slower than the main MagSafe pad. The Evolved 3-in-1 Foldable Charger is a neat, portable way to charge all your Apple mobile devices—Watch, iPhone, AirPods—at the same time. While super-cheap charging cables should be avoided as they can be unsafe, compatible wireless charging is inherently safer due to the technology. But we’d still stay clear from something that looks too cheap.This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. The charging panel connects to the mat with a light magnetic snap, and can be positioned on either side simply by flipping the mat round 180 degrees, depending on whether you are left or right handed. Once the steps above are done, the phone in the case magnetically attaches to the bar, and as shown below, you can see the charging indicator on the upper right corner of the phone screen. The Bar can charge 2 phones simultaneously, and the magnet is strong enough to secure even a reasonably large bunch of keys.
