Review: Belkin's 3-in-1 Boost Charge Pro Offers Hassle-Free 15W MagSafe Charging for iPhone 12

Same issue - annoying - but turn the phone upside down and it works (must be the position of the magnets)

I think that's exactly what it is. My iPhone 12 Pro Max charges on it perfectly when I have no case on, and I can get it to line up and charge in other orientations, even with Apple's leather MagSafe case, but I suspect the charging coil is just a little bit too low for the "Max" sized iPhones to line up when they're in cases that shift them up a little bit higher than normal; I had the exact same problem with my iPhone 11 Pro Max when I put it into a Catalyst waterproof case, but it seemed to work fine in most slim cases. I also have the exact same issue with the Twelve South PowerPic I keep on my living room table.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max obviously has the charging coil a little higher than its predecessor.

no they really don't take two hands at all and this one certainly won't it will just come off very easily due to not being flat and loose like the duo and current magsafe option.

You are right, that the Belkin stand should not have this problem. But you are saying that the current MagSafe charger does not magnetically "stick" to the back of your phone when you go to lift the phone off the magnet?

I have the MagSafe Duo Charger and I don’t need to use two hands on the duo charger...the regular MagSafe sure will be hard to just let up but grabbing the phone by the side it’s quite easily able to be picked up without lifting from the table
 
Love The Savage Garden book! I have been a fan of Macs and carnivorous plants for longer than I care to admit.
 
It's already the 8th in Australia and it's not yet available on the Australian page of Belkin's website. Not very confidence inspiring 🙈
 
It’s January 8th and it’s not showing yet. Please post when it’s available for purchase..
 
I checked at 5am eastern time and so far nothing. Guess I’ll keep refreshing all day...:confused:
 
It's already the 9th on quite a few timezones, so I guess they screwed up again 😂 Saw it coming yesterday when the Australian store didn't have it...
 
If you go to the product page on belkin's site, and look at the Q&A, people are asking about the Jan 8 date and to confirm, and support keeps responding saying they have no estimated date on when it will be released. They replied saying that as recent as 13 hours ago....So who knows when this thing will actually be released 🙄

Thank you for the tip! I visited Belkin and the message had changed to "This item is currently not available for purchase on Belkin.com", I thought it had already sold out.

Thanks all for posting that it is available on Apple. I saw the same message and assumed it had sold out in the hour I was on a work call at first :eek:
