Anker cube looks very nice to me. Love the compact design.

Still hoping that Apple will release something to replace the discontinued MagSafe Duo soon. (Which i have, but it is the last lightning thing i need to get rid of lol)

No. Apple Watch fast charging is 5W.

Ah if it’s 5w then no it doesn’t then, my mistake.

It says in the description - “2.5W max fast charging for iWatch.” If you didn’t know that 5w was needed for fast charging and you just went off the description it’s quite misleading.

Saying that for the price I’ve been really impressed with it, especially considering it comes with its own power adapter included in the price.
 
and What do You guys think about Cubenest?



this first looks dope, but it is still in preorder
 
This is the one that I am thinking of. Currently have an older Belkin that is OK too.

Before I spent £100+ on a charging dock, does anybody have a recommendation for one that keeps the iPhone in landscape to make use of the new StandBy feature, and also charges an Apple Watch and AirPods?

I have a 13 Pro Max, AW Ultra 2 and some Gen 2 AirPod Pros.

I’m unsure of older models like the Belkin 3 in 1 BoostCharge are still any good or if newer charges are more powerful?

Thanks!
Did you end up purchasing a 3 in 1 charger?
 
Does anyone have older version of Belkin 3 in 1 charger - the 2-3 years old version? Does it charge Apple Watch Ultra properly? I don't need fast charging, because I will charge it at night anyway and price is 2/3 of new model

I have the older version of the Belkin charger and an Ultra 2. It charges the Ultra 2 just fine - it's just slower than the fast charger. (And since I charge overnight, I don't care, really.)

Very good news, Thank You sir!
 
I just found out about this little thing, I think the only downside is that is charges the Watch at 5W...
5 watts *is* fast charging for the watch. It even says in the description "It supports fast charging for Apple Watch. " (Unless you're saying fast charging is a negative.)

The old, slow chargers were 2.5 W.

Tbh I had no idea what the fast charging speed for the watch was, the old Series 8 I had took forever compared to the Ultra 2 that I have now (even with the bigger battery and all).
 
Ordered the Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe at Apple online store yesterday. Delivery is tomorrow. Owning an Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods Pro 2 and iPhone 15 pro, this stand should be perfect.

When you ordered did it initially give you a delivery date further out? I've looked and it says Delivery would be Nov 17 - Dec 4. I bought the Anker cube, but not sure I like it and was looking to possibly get this but delivery window is so far out.

Apple indicated the stand would be delivered the same week as ordered. Two days ago the Twelve South was sold out (I checked again the following day and it was in stock again), the cube 3-1 is still sold out in Swiss Apple Store

The Mous Magsafe and AW charging pads are the best on the market after my thorough research. Anker Cube is 2nd best due to portability and speeds. But the Mous set up is the most expensive and not worth it. HiRise Deluxe is 3rd best since it's not travel friendly.

Your order is the wrong way around.

In between the Mous wireless charging system (lame that you have to buy the watch stand separate, BUT the watch dock has a standalone outlet and there is an extra usb c out, with 65 watts total power-far more than most) and the new nomad 3 in 1 max (sleek design but does not come with a power brick).

These definitely are not necessary, and plenty of reviews have shown that a multi-oem cable set up is faster and cheaper. Aesthetics, ease of use, and quality are the main factors.
 
So I did like I said, bought older belkin because it costs 2/3 of the newest version - model that was released with iPhone 13 and AW7 so it has fast AW charging (dont care about that much). It works perfect with AWU2 (on the picture 13 mini as placeholder since my 15 pro max is still on the way)

The only thing I don't like about the Belkin is the proprietary charger. I understand the reasoning behind it but if the cable or charger dies, it's ewaste at that point.

You are right but on the other hand it looks solid, so I hope it wont fail for the next few years
