Belkin fixed all the quirks with its latest Qi2 3-in-1 charger! Charge your iPhone with a new swiveling mount, fast-charge Apple Watch, and wirelessly charge AirPods. Plus, I compare it to other 3-in-1 MagSafe chargers.

I bought mine 2 years ago. Best iPhone/watch/earbud accessory ever.

[@kristinotto102]

I got the 12 South charging stand for Christmas and I really really love it! The movable watch charger is nice for different watch bands where some angles may not work for some bands. Also love that it’s fast charging for the watch 🙌🏻

[@rforey]

I have the older model and did not realise you could charge the AirPods on the iPhone charger. Game changer!! 😃

[@bjperryjr4664]

Nice fixes Belkin. I returned my stand for the pad version because of the watch issue, as it drove me crazy...lol Great work and thanks for sharing

[@stephenrebori]

Great job on your video, I noticed your phone case was by Andar was wondering how you were liking it?

[@enripc]

So great you star testing Qi2 loved

[@beardfm]

More coming soon too!

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing: very nice charger. Blessings on your day.

[@schuestav]

Really nice video! Thx for testing 😊

[@beardfm]

Appreciate it!

[@samckatz]

Awesome review Stephen

[@beardfm]

Thank you kindly!

[@GreyAlive]

I'm using the desk Belkin 3-in-1 charger, the horizontal one, but this really looks cool for the night

[@tambulee]

Love your content!

[@beardfm]

I appreciate that!

[@loghome7061]

Just received this charger and while it is of very high quality the silicone coated base will collect a lot of dust and debris. Also not a fan of the non removable power cord. Thanks for this video.

[@beardfm]

Yeah I've found most of my 3-in-1's collect dust and particles on the base. Thanks for watching!

[@JordyvanToor]

I know that with MagSafe, my iPhone remembers my preferred StandBy view for each different charger at different locations. Does that also work with Qi2? This model seems an improvement over the other model, but I might get the older model if my iPhone can’t automatically set my preferred view.

[@cunondrum]

I would love to see you test the ESR ones

[@beardfm]

Will work on it!

[@Tech-Sam]

Please review the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station. It has a similar form factor. I would love if the AirPods charger part had magnets too.

[@beardfm]

Love Anker stuff and will try to grab that one soon!

[@theGer-Ver]

The ESR charger is very nice. I have the old ESR 3-1 with the cooling fan and the new one charges my AirPods, Apple Watch and iPhone a lot quicker. It is also convenient that the Apple Watch charger comes out and you can plug it into your Mac, iPad or your choice of charging brick!

[@beardfm]

Good to hear! I enjoy all the ESR stuff I’ve tested so far

[@giovannigullo3200]

Please would you Make a comparison between this new 3-in 1 belkin Qi2 charger and the ESR 25W 3-in-1 charger with cryoboost and the new Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station (3-in-1 Pad) and the new Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station (3-in-1 Stand) ??

[@JLummin]

I have that Anker travel 3-1 and just bought the Anker 3-1 that is similar to the belkin stand but no tilt which would be nice but already set at a good angle with detachable cable and I got mine $30 off with coupon when it's $99

[@beardfm]

that's a great stand too! I reviewed it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4fdiqyPp9N4h8ksi=9Uxr4dLioSkpv4qs

[@WhoWeAre1311]

Great video! It’s definitely a nice charger, very premium looking. But unfortunately the price may deter some people. At the very least, it can charge 3 devices at the same time and at a reasonable wattage.

[@beardfm]

Thanks! And ESR definitely has nice, cheaper options available

[@ortiz3m]

Need to try the esr 6 in 1

[@beardfm]

Gotta buy more devices for that

[@bradwilson5483]

Is this not available in the UK yet? I can’t seem to find it?

[@jackson7099]

You should try the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station (3-in-1 Stand)

[@beardfm]

This one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2W1iYFropamgJosi=MLmT_XpZ9q5OQkD9

[@jackson7099]

@@beardfm I guess it won’t let me post the link but Anker came out with a new one at $90. It’s very similar to the Belkin stand.

[@jsagaria]

Steve… So Isn’t Mag Safe Actually all of that and you get the Location Detection? So it goes to your screen of Choice? If you have a Mag Safe, Why Switch?

[@beardfm]

If you already have a MagSafe charger, you don't need Qi2. Qi2 is literally built off Apple's MagSafe spec. I'd only suggest upgrading to a new charger if it has features or a design you like!

[@TechHeadB]

Umm not enough for me to upgrade from the 2.0 version

[@garymeyersa]

The AirPods charging indicator light is stupidly bright. In a dark room, it lights up the room. Otherwise, it’s a great sold all in one.

[@TRACKSTARRR]

Has this one literally just come out? Can’t find any online, all of them have a white charging pad which I think is the old version.

[@beardfm]

Yes, just came out, but you can get it direct from Belkin or Amazon.

[@TRACKSTARRR]

@@beardfm I’m in the UK that’s probably why, still can’t see this product anywhere. Any idea on when it’ll release here?

[@MrNave12]

Is it possible to fast charge the iPhone and Apple watch simultaneously with this charger?

[@beardfm]

Yes! They both charge at 15W and watch fast charging respectively.

[@yehudadm]

I just need the magnetic charger for the AirPods

[@SkyeDaMan]

Not a fan of the black iPhone charger and white AW charger.

[@mancerrss]

Does iOS still show the MagSafe animation for Qi2 chargers?

[@beardfm]

The circle to charge, yes!

[@jackson7099]

150 is actually insane

[@MrKyGuy]

Which one do you like best? HiRise or Belkin?

[@beardfm]

I'm sticking with the HiRise 3, but also because I gave my wife this new Belkin 😅

[@MrKyGuy]

@@beardfm I just saw the HiRise can charge and additional phone in the back too. That’s cool!

[@ericramz1]

Does this qi2 work with the “StandBy” feature?

[@beardfm]

It does! I show it a few times when the clock appears on the landscape orientation iPhone when placed on the charger.

[@ericramz1]

@@beardfm thanks. I’ll re watch more intensely lol

[@Niks.Camera]

Any propped horizontal charging does. Even a cord. Unless you mean the standby feature where it recognizes different MagSafe charging locations.

[@ericramz1]

@@Niks.Camera oh ok. So stand by feature will work. But MagSafe memory won’t. Am I correct?

[@Niks.Camera]

@@ericramz1 I don’t know the requirements Apple set. I know it was via nfc tag in the MagSafe pad. Starting standby itself is just power input and positioning.

[@l-r3d-jjohnson674]

Can I charge my beats on it?

[@beardfm]

If the Beats have Qi charging you can charge them on the bottom of the stand!

[@foblymobly]

the wire being non removable is a pass for me.

[@jackzhangxiao]

Qi2 supposed to be cheaper than MagSafe, but the manufacturer won’t. 😢

[@beardfm]

Yeah I’m going we see some cheaper options soon. The ESR charger is the most reasonable at $60, just reviewed it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4fdiqyPp9N4h8ksi=FimEXu2pFTZbwl50

[@adriftatlas]

There is no reason for a Qi2 charger to cost $150. A Qi2 pad from Anker is $20.

[@PlymitBoy]

Fml lol. I bought the V1 in January. I think I would prefer the USB-C cable ending, as I just can back from Europe 2 weeks ago. I couldn’t take the stand with me because the cable end is only for US plugs… The straight up orientation is good for charging an iPad.

[@costantineyoussif6679]

And what if something happens to the cable by accident you threw the whole charger in the trash i don’t really get it, why on earth Belkin when they fix something they messed up on something else. Definitely im not sold on this design and $$$$

[@beardfm]

I wish the cable was detachable, for sure

[@costantineyoussif6679]

@@beardfm any second premium alternative recommendations 3in1 stand ?

[@BadgerBob]

Nice advert, but it’s overpriced.

[@beardfm]

Definitely cheaper options out there like the ESR! Also, I don't do any paid review, just FYI!

[@jack91522]

$150? Way over priced. How can anyone recommend this? It’s not even portable for vacations.

[@beardfm]

My recommendation for travel (and cheaper!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2W1iYFropamgJosi=XxvEKVxhVMVU08x6

[@MIAMIC70]

OVERPRICED and WTF is it using a proprietary charging plug!

[@beardfm]

I definitely would have preferred a USB-C port on the base rather than a built-in cable for sure.
