Best iPhone 3-in-1 MagSafe Charger - HiRise 3 Deluxe Review!

[@Cavush]

The proprietary charging port kills it IMO. With usb c it would’ve been perfect.

[@beardfm]

True, but the Belkin 3-in-1 is the same situation with a propriety charger. Being that it lives on my night stand I'm ok with it.

[@christopherrobert490]

barrel* jacks aren't proprietary

[@Bmarker299]

I’ve tried several 3in1’s and found the twelve south high rise to be the best. No regrets. Excellent design, well thought out

[@beardfm]

Nice! Still use mine daily

[@bloorgblonadoir4362]

$150 for a charger though? No regrets?

[@brian.mcgroarty]

Is the base heavy? I don't want to have to hold it down to keep it from moving when removing devices.

[@ericramz1]

FYI, Costco carries both the Black (newer version) and White (older non-fast charging watch) Belkin 3 in 1 that usually go on sale for less than 99$

[@beardfm]

That's a good deal!

[@antoniogomez8585]

I thought about buying this one, but the Anker cube was more of an easy choice for me because it is just easy to travel with

[@beardfm]

It’s my go to for travel to! Love it

[@Gixer750K2]

I have the Belkin 3 in 1 Boost Pro and My Watch Ultra did the same thing., as yours in the video. Simple fix. Add 1 small piece of Clear Sellotape/Scotch tape to the charging "puck".. No more tilting, and charging works perfectly.

[@beardfm]

huh, will have to tell my spouse who still uses the 3-in-1!

[@MediSpring]

I own the belkin 2 in 1 wireless charger and I really like it on my desk. Charging over the night and you never need any cable again.

[@rickyrice7376]

Great review. I just got the new iPhone 16 pro max. I have a new case for it. Will it charge thru the case ?

[@Peaced900]

I think I’m a little confused. Do these have Qi2? I was about to order one until you mentioned it. Should I wait for a product that has this?

[@tonyalas]

Really informative video! Just wondering, is the other end of the power cable USB-C?

[@beardfm]

Thanks! And unfortunately no, it’s built-in to the power plug.

[@samckatz]

I own and love the HiRise. Thanks for a great video

[@beardfm]

You’re welcome!

[@sethmatt6306]

Do you know if the high-rise stand works with the hardback waterproof case for an iPhone?

[@chrisatwood]

2:01 The “Apple Watch tilting” isn’t just an Apple Watch Ultra, my Series 7 does the same thing (I even returned my first charger thinking it was defect but the new one does it too). I think it has to do with the friction between the Watch and the charger, if I let it get dusty it doesn’t tilt as easily lol

[@beardfm]

Oh weird! Yeah it’s unfortunate

[@viralmody9772]

Great Video..Would have been nice to see the power adapter that comes with the HiRise 3 Deluxe..

[@beardfm]

Thanks, and good point. It’s a barrel style connector that connects at the rear of the base

[@michal.bartos]

Is it heavy enough that that you can attach and detach iPhone without moving the HiRise 3 Deluxe? And I mean pick the phone up like from the desk, without doing it slowly and gently twisting/bending it from the charging pod :)

[@beardfm]

I do bend away from the stand slightly. If you just lift it off the stand will rise too. You may want to look at the Nomad charger for a heavier option: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5a3mpugabOij9Usi=R0qGsGooKrAeYMkY

[@willolson89]

Hey man, nice video. It was almost exactly what I was looking for. I may have missed it but in case you didn't talk about it, there are two things I am most interested in knowing about products like these. How hot does the phone get when using them and do the chargers make any noise while plugged in, both while charging and resting.

[@beardfm]

Thanks! No noise at all even with all three devices charging. And it gets slightly warm but not more than any other MagSafe charger

[@dimitarg1708]

Hey there! Great video! I was wondering if the iPhone 15 Pro Max fits vertically if there’s an apple watch below and the puck is up and not laying down flat?

[@beardfm]

Yes! I charge it like that too

[@dimitarg1708]

@@beardfm Thank you so much! That was my only worry. Will be purchasing.

[@crelliseng]

I've had the belkin on my desk for a few years now, but recently found an annoying issue with it. If you use a case on your airpods they won't always charge. The circular divet, instead of a rectangular one like on other 3in1 chargers, combined with the case thickness makes it start charging, but stop shortly afterwards. The anker cube doesn't have that issue and I use it on my nightstand. An unfortunate design flaw all because of the aesthetics of the base.

[@beardfm]

Ah that stinks. But yes the Anker is great all around

[@nickgallegos430]

How about spiegen arcfield?

[@4Good57]

What about ESR 25W 3-in-1 Charger Stand vs this stand?

[@user-oj8ss4zq3x]

I purchased 2 of the Belkin and returned it once I realized they use a special barrel plug for charging that ya can’t replace. Then purchased the anker cube and I absolutely love it.

[@beardfm]

Anker cube is great, and one of the few that has USB-C instead of a proprietary jack!

[@user-oj8ss4zq3x]

@@beardfm for those who might not know otter box has another option that doesn’t tie ya down to a proprietary port.

[@Dojan5]

I have an older Belkin charger that also uses a barrel plug. It hasn't broken on me, which is good, but the power supply has this incessant coil whine. It literally sounds like a cricket is next to my bed. I've no idea how I've grown used to it, but I absolutely hate it.

[@saucywings]

Well I wanted one but it’s sold out and I’m not waiting until November for one. Same with the dbrand ghost case. I just bought this brand new 15ProMax I’m not going to wait that long for a case or a charger

[@vks4392]

Nice video. Thank you 👍

[@beardfm]

Thanks for watching!

[@Peaced900]

Is the anker cube USB C?

[@toodutch]

Thanks for this comparison :) Got myself an Anker Cube, but my QuadLock case has issues 'connecting' to charge. 1 in every 5 attempts works, I guess a weaker set of magnets or something? Okay for travel though. The HiRise 3 Deluxe works well and looks great. I only wish Anker and Twelve South had included a nano suction pad on the bottom. The Anker moves when you take your phone off, and the HiRise wobbles slightly. Had to secure the HiRise with a little double sided clear suction tape and now it isn't going anywhere. For these prices these things better last me at least 5 years!

[@beardfm]

Weird about the QuadLock! Hadn't used that one before. And good point on the wobbling, would be nice if they were a little sticky or something so they wouldn't move...

[@0bilansen]

Same here, returned the anker cube as it wouldn’t charge. Sadly unusable as it’s otherwise the best design imo.

[@ruudkalberg2674]

@toodutch I also have a QuadLock case so I'm glad I read your comment about the charging issue with the Anker Cube because I was thinking of buying that one. I also already have a similar issue with the official MagSafe charger from Apple. Are you saying that you have the HiRise and it has no issues with the QuadLock case? In that case I will consider buying that one instead

[@bryanrivera3598]

So can we confirm that the QuadLock case works with the HiRise?

[@aliciawang-u2g]

Great review as always!!

[@beardfm]

I appreciate that! 🙏🏼

[@gd.ritter]

Best Buy has their own house brand of this for only $40. These prices are outrageous for a charger.

[@87engr]

The Best Buy one only charges iPhone at 7.5W, this one should be good for 15W.

[@mrvadym1]

Are there any 3 in 1 chargers where I can control whether charging is enabled or not for every spot?

[@beardfm]

Oh I haven't seen anything like that, but would be sweet!

[@kittyjofoxtrot]

I'm thinking about this but I'm still worried it doesn't tilt down far enough to not make the angle awkward for a bedside clock.

[@beardfm]

Depends on how high the nightstand is but it’s been great for me

[@YoYoYoHD]

What’s with the “vegan leather”? 😂

[@andref970]

Is there a buzzing or vibrating noise that comes from charging your phone on the wireless charger? I just purchased the otter box 3 in 1 and I’m getting a high pitched noise when I put my phone to charge. Is this normal? First time with MagSafe.

[@jonathancarrere714]

No ,just bought it and no noise whatsoever,I bought a cheap one before and send it back because of this specific noise

[@sethmatt6306]

Because I’m tired of buying iPhone cords I just bought one and it’s shorting out a week ago

[@VynZography]

1:57 This is a great example of just because something is expensive doesnt mean it's well-designed.

[@beardfm]

Yeah it's unfortunate about the watch part. It's a great stand otherwise!

[@VynZography]

@@beardfm I’m looking for a stand right now but avoiding these designs for this very reason.

[@JohnAliakiozoglou]

official magsafe charging?

[@beardfm]

That's correct!

[@JohnAliakiozoglou]

@@beardfm I meant does it show the logo?

[@muhammadaurmaghan9346]

@@JohnAliakiozoglouyes it does

[@Ken-dm5xt]

Is the apple watch charger height adjustable to fit different apple watch sizes?

[@beardfm]

It's not adjustable height wise, but it fits my Ultra just fine which is the largest size!

[@Ken-dm5xt]

@@beardfmThanks for confirming that Stephen. Good job with the review 👍

[@timothylinn]

This thing needs USB C charging and the ability to tilt to vertical (straight up and down). The lack of either is a deal killer.

[@sankalpgupta1556]

Does these chargers degrade battery of iPhone more ?

[@DarkOakGenerated]

Slightly

[@gracecunningham3427]

Can anyone help me I bought this and my AirPods won’t charge ! I’ve contacted Apple they sent me a new case but still not charging I know it works because will charge a second phone

[@Gol_D.r31]

15 w fast Charging for the ultra?

[@beardfm]

Yes! It fast charges Apple Watch

[@eric_r_colby]

If it had 2 usb c on the back, 1 to charge via cable and one to power itself, and the stand folded down or removed for travel, this would be the only charger I ever use.

[@beardfm]

That would be sick, I do wish it was USB-C on the back

[@vasiovasio]

This is the only vertical charger that gives you the opportunity to charge a phone in a horizontal position too! Yes, it is not 15W MagSafe, it is 7.5W but if you just prefer to put it down to charge you can. Other chargers support only AirPods and Apple Watch. Another advantage is the weight of the stand - it is almost 400 grams and stays solid when you attach/detach your phone!

[@CalmBrew]

It is 15W… just ordered one and you gave me a mini heart attack..

[@vasiovasio]

@@CalmBrew the second, horizontal is NOT MagSafe and it is 7.5W. For the main one on the stand, of course, it is MagSafe on 15W! :)

[@saucywings]

Wait… you gonna tell me if I rotate my phone I can’t take advantage of 15W. Bruh wtf

[@CalmBrew]

There’s three charging spots on this . the 15w magsafe for your phone the 5w Applewatch charger .. and the 7.5w Qi charger on the back … if you use the main magsafe charger you can rotate the phone horizontally it’ll charge at 15w

[@vasiovasio]

@@saucywings please read it! I mean if you use the Horizontal base :) This charger offers three charging stations - one on the stand pole and two on the horizontal base.

[@ratheeshnet]

ESR 3 in 1 MagSafe is a great option too

[@thebestreviews6675]

The phone will charge at 15W but the AirPods and Apple Watch will charge much slower than this device.

[@saucywings]

All the people complaining about the charging cable. It literally just sits on your nightstand 24/7 I highly doubt it will ever matter

[@ericdraven7857]

I have a belkin 3-in-1 and it’s not good. My phone randomly doesn’t charge. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Gets dusty very easily and hard to clean.

[@beardfm]

Really? I've had to over the past few years and didn't have that issue. Stinks!

[@nici1782]

I love the HiRise, but looks like it's not powered by USB C, so hard pass from me

[@ryannello]

I like it but I’m annoyed by the white face of the watch charger. It should be all black. And have USB C charging port.

[@miscipsakitsune4667]

The proprietary charging port, DealBreaker, thanks for the video

[@jyfjgtyuh]

150$ is way too expensive for a charger. I'm waiting for the QI2, which is basicity MagSafe, but without Apple MiFi certification, the prices should be more reasonable.

[@beardfm]

I’m excited for the wave of Qi2 chargers as well!

[@frangeech]

@@beardfm What's the anticipated release time frame for Qi2?

[@BenjaminJex]

FineWoven having its own problems is valid to criticize, vegan leather likely wasn’t used because they’re typically petroleum products which runs counter to their sustainability goals

[@tgwaste]

Their sustainability goals are bullshit anyway. I have the 'Tree' charger and My FiveWoven case has literally come off on the white charging pad and has started changing color. That product is complete shit.

[@heyimgeorgeuk]

I don’t recommend it cuz my phone gets too hot 😢 it’ll damage the battery

[@beardfm]

Really? I haven't had that issue and been using it for a year plus.

[@heyimgeorgeuk]

@@beardfm yea 😭

[@Hackslooi0128]

Don’t get the 737 Anker 3in1. For the Apple Watch, it’s slowwwwww. 🐌

Nah man - Anker Cube 3 in 1 takes the W here

I love the Anker cube too, but it’s a little low for my nightstand.

[@FooBear408]

[@joshx413]

$149. Bahaha😂😂

[@Tiraczc]

Vegan leather is worth mentioning? Well, than this is not a review but a paid ad.

[@0bilansen]

Worth it for any vegans watching obviously.

[@TimpossibleOne]

It'd be nice if it was real leather, as that is more eco friendly than vegan leather.

[@stephanest-laurent266]

what is it with your « vegan leather » fixation. You kept talking about it 🤣 Those are way too expensive. It comes up to 200 Canadian dollars!!!! I already sold one of my kidneys to get the iPhone 15 pro Max… 😂

Zero reason to use a proprietary charger. Honestly turns me off of it. I HATE company’s that do this.
