Swippitt is making phone charging simpler with its innovative hub that eliminates the need for traditional chargers. The Swippitt Hub, resembling a sleek toaster, swaps your phone’s external battery for a fully charged one in seconds. Simply place your phone into the hub, and the unit does the rest.
Each external battery adds 3,500mAh, providing up to 90% extra charge. Batteries can begin charging immediately or be reserved for later use. The system pairs with an app for personalized settings, such as limiting charge levels to preserve battery health or scheduling charges.
The hub is compatible with various phone models and works with Swippitt-designed cases. It will start with iPhone 14, 15, and 16 and expand to the Samsung Galaxy S series by late 2025. Ideal for multi-phone households, one hub can handle devices across the family.
