'Twelve South' debuted a new multipurpose mobile device charger named the 'HiRise3.' This charger is compatible with three different Apple-branded devices, including iPhones, Apple Watches, and Apple AirPods. The phone charging port is a MagSafe-enabled charger, meaning it will only work with MagSafe-compatible iPhone devices. This is also beneficial for holding the phone in place while it charges so that it does not slide off the charger or desk.
The other two ports are a desktop charging port for AirPods and a hanging charging port with a convenient mount for an Apple Watch. The charger itself outputs only 7.5-watts by default, though customers can upgrade the power output block with a third-party offering to increase the potential power output of the device, resulting in faster charging for Apple devices.
