CES 2024: Hyper Launches 4-in-1 Qi2 Charging Stand, New Power Banks and More

[MacRumors]

Hyper has a range of new products coming out this year, with many of the additions previewed this week at CES. The $150 HyperJuice 4-in-1 Qi2 Stand has a 15W magnetic wireless charging surface that is able to charge a MagSafe iPhone at up to 15W.

It's also equipped with a 5W Apple Watch charger, a dedicated charging spot for the AirPods, and a fourth wireless charging spot for other accessories. The stand, which folds down when not in use, will come out in the second quarter of 2024.

Hyper is also working on a foldable Qi2 Puck Stand and Apple Watch charger. Priced at $120, it too can charge an iPhone at up to 15W, with a 2.5W charger available for the Apple Watch. It is set to come out in Q2 2024 as well.

Hyper has a $130 Qi2 10,000mAh Power Bank coming in the second quarter of the year, with the power bank able to magnetically connect to an iPhone for charging on the go. It includes a 20W charging port as well, with the port providing both input and output power.

Other new products coming from Hyper include a tiny 5,000mAh Capsule Power Bank with integrated cables, a compact 20,000mAh USB-C Power Bank, a 100W multi-port HyperJuice wall charger that can charge up to four devices at once, and a Thunderbolt 5 dock with triple 4K144Hz extended display support, 140W pass-through power delivery, and more.

Any of it catch fire yet?

The thing all of these stands forget about is magnetic alignment for the AirPods charger. ESR has this on all of theirs and I'll never use anything else again. Fumbling with AirPods case looking for charging spot is for the birds. The magnetic alignment is a dream. Combined with the fact that ESR MagSafe charger has active cooling to keep the iPhone cool while wireless charging...really can't beat their products in this space, in my opinion.

The new Anker one supposedly has magnets for the Airpods charging spot according to a chat I had with them yesterday. If it does I will probably try it out.

It's not so much that Hyper's earlier hubs combusted in fire. It's how the company tried to cover up with poor customer service response. I will never forgive the company for that. Ditto for Samsung.

 

[moonzilla]

does anyone know if the Apple Watch charger supports fast charging? Not seeing any mention of it, so I'm assuming no...

 

[california_kid]

I feel stupid for predicting "there is no way a charger will cost more than the device it is designed to charge...."

 

[gugy]

I have the HyperJuice 4-in-1 previous model and it works well. No complaints.

 

[jimthing]

Such ridiculous prices.

Qi2 products are supposed to be significantly cheaper than licensed from Apple 'Made for MagSafe' ones, previously released that offer 15W. Yet these products are the same or more. Get stuffed Hyper.

 

[CarAnalogy]

So chargers are this year’s CES theme. For Apple users, anyway.

I hear there was, uh, some guy from Intel there too…

 

[kerr]

But Apple struggles to make good chargers, charging stands or power banks.

 

[x-evil-x]

No idea why these companies expect people to pay these prices. 20-40$ charges seem normal. Do people actually buy chargers over 100$?

 

[iSayuSay]

With newer AirPods Pro, it doesn't make sense to keep a "dedicated charging spot for AirPods". Why? This is a Qi 2 charger, meaning it's targeted toward people with newer iPhones and or Watch, so just get on with Magsafe, remove the redundant Qi charging spots, then add support for Watch fast charging.

Essentiallya Magsafe Duo with stand, and fast charging support for Apple Watch. That'd be awesome 👏🏼

Wireless chargers should not use precious space on your desk and become another item that collects dust. Plugging in a cable seems more convenient than using such a stand.

Or you can get a great design puck from twelve south now, a reliable a company with great customer service. Zero chance I will ever buy anything from Hyper. Buyer beware

 

[svish]

Looks like a decent Qi2 charger. But prefer to buy one from Belkin

 

[Pressure]

Funny how all the new Qi2 chargers land at around the same price point 🤔

 

[Kylo83]

Is it just me but I’m so bored of seeing all these stands and chargers they are all the same

Depends on the design I guess? I love my Magsafe Duo flat design. Doesn’t take too much space, extremely thin and charge three of my most used Apple devices (iPhone, Watch, APP).

Use it daily for almost 3 years. A shame Apple discontinued it with no apparent replacement. Also lacks Watch fast charging and stuck in the past with Lightning port.

 

[turbo79]

Looks like iPhone + Qi2 is just a license for companies to make a lot of money out of ... not very much.

I think I will stick with these for now: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/cat/wireless-charging-accessories-41069/

$4.99 and works just as well.

No fast charger for the Apple Watch... At this price point! Very disappointing.

 

[Supercyborgninja]

I prefer to have a charger that lets me put both my Apple Watch in nightstand mode and iPhone on standby mode.

 

[CJM]

I’ve owned a watch alongside my phone since.. 2016? And I still just use the cables. Stands are just so unnecessary.

 

[ric22]

Weirdly expensive gadgets, that I wouldn't use even if I was given them. Qi2 is perfect in a car, but why bother elsewhere? Even with a power bank I'd just use a cable to charge it a lot quicker and then disconnect it again.

It's how I also feel about Thunderbolt Docks. There's no real innovation going on they're primary using reference designs and then choosing port configuration.
