I've been waiting for this since the announcement at CES, and just received it recently. Amazing little device, very compact & sturdy. This is going to be great when I travel soon.
I have the Satechi 2-in-1 Qi2 charger. It's a very nice design. Bought it directly on their website for $52 using their rewards discount. They often have 20-30% sales on holidays. Their "IPADOS" coupon is always active for 15% off. Unless one has an Apple Watch, there is really no point in paying the $50 Apple Tax for the 3-in-1. I don't wear a watch at all so the 2-in-1 was a no brainer for me.
@@adriftatlas yeah well no reason to get the 3-in-1 for any price if you don't have the watch lol.. I got the Belkin 3-in-1 when the iPhone 12 first came out and still swear by it to this day 😆
Man Steven! That might be my next bedside charger! Besides Technically Tee, you’re the man when it comes to Apple tech chargers and accessories overall (have to give it to Aaron at MobileReviewsEh too)
When travelling, nightstands are all different so (to my own surprise), the adjustable height turned out to be the most important feature for me. This one looks really good, thanks for the great review!
Love the videos how you compare to the others you’ve reviewed and really get into the details. The best 3-in-1 reviews and analysis on the web! Love the videos, keep it up.
Good Afternoon Stephen, I hope you are doing well. I enjoy watching your videos. I enjoy your enthusiasm for tech! Have you checked out the Spigen ArcField 3 in 1 Wireless Charger? I would love to see you review it. I think you might like it.
When you have this, you would need the standby mode’s widget that lets you see the battery level of your devices, instead of the plain dull one that just shows the time :)
I’ve been looking for one of these for backpack number 3! Sold for Satechi! Backpack #1: 1-2 day jaunts with my phone, iPad & DJI pocket 3 & its peripherals plus mics & tx setup Backpack #2: all dedicated to those little DJI flying things that take photos & videos. I can’t remember the technical name for them, but they are much more than a toy. Ughhh. Shoot. I hate to drone on & on about all this…I’ll just move on & maybe it’ll return home to me in a sec Day #3: legitimate out of town travel gear - “go bag” halfway packed ahead of time. Yes. I am an over 40 victim of fate, always leaving too late…leaving too late 🏴☠️…so I’m pre-packing😂 (i am NOT gonna also subject y’all to Tom Petty’s “free falling”…oh what the hell…now I’m preeeeeee-paccccking….” 🙂🙃
Stephen Robles is on top of this game. I say it each time. No one cares more for US. This isn’t for him. He truly loves doing this for his viewers. My cousin Ronnie Milsap can see that. Truly a good man, and he is willing to actually !!GASP!! reply to messages with thoughtfulness & direction. He is growing his channel and I realize this is an incredibly time consuming endeavor, the likes of which most of us will never fathom, but he hasn’t lost himself yet, and he isn’t going to! That’s not who he is! Hat’s off to you, Stephen. Thank you for being such a kind gentleman & sincere in all you do for the masses! Trustworthiness these days is flipped, 180° since my dad was coming up…you trusted everyone until they proved you couldn’t trust them. Nowadays, it’s don’t until they do…you are the exception to that “new” rule. Thx again!
@@beardfm not sure if you realize do this often, but I certainly don't want you to think that I am being any less sincere! You're entire presentations from prep to delivery to edit to follow up & reply (long after, i might add) is second to none!
I got the UGREEN 2-in-1 Qi2 wireless charger two days ago. It has a really neat design that looks somewhat similar to yours, but it folds inwards for travel and then folds outwards to expose a charger for wireless earbuds. However, it makes my iPhone quite hot, which I dislike. Is that normal? Does your iPhone get hot on these chargers? If I had to guess, I would say my iPhone reaches temperatures between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius at the least.
The one's I've tested get warm occasionally, like when charging from low battery percentages, but they don't stay hot persistently throughout charging. Make sure it's certified Qi2 or MagSafe because that makes a difference as well.
When considering only traveling purposes, do you prefer this charger or the Anker 3-in-1 folding charger (also shown in this video)? It seems like the Satechi has a more premium finish, but the Anker may be slightly smaller. Is it a significant size difference / do you think the trade-off is worth it, or would you prioritize the smaller size of the Anker if this was just going to live in your travel tech bag?
Actually I most recently reviewed the Ku Xiu I here, took it on a week long trip and it's now my default: th-cam.com/video/iBELZfOStEw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MDH46oaeM4Lj7Ply
hi stephen! as someone who recently switched from a 4 year old huawei to an iphone 15, your videos have been so helpful! i have two questions for you: i’ve made some automations and now every now and then i’ll get notifications that shortcuts is running my automations even though notifications should be off…? is there something i can do to stop that? and when i play spotify, it takes over my whole lock screen which i really hate. is there any way to keep it as a small pop up like any other notification? thank you so much in advance!
Hey there, glad the videos have been useful! With Shortcuts it's a little annoying as I get those "X number of Shortcuts have run in the background" notifications even though they're all disabled. I'm not sure of a solution there just yet. And same with Spotify, sorry!
Looks like a great option, but I struggle with the pricing on these all-in-one charging stands.
They are pricey, but the Satechi one I reviewed here is reasonable: th-cam.com/video/eVzYyYrnEQg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k3XY0F5qCzJM8-wp

For $130 it’s not worth it though honestly
@@AlwaysBolttheBird you are right sir, however it is within my budget but I agree it is on the pricey side.
@@AlwaysBolttheBirdany recommendations?
The ESR is more budget friendly and I reviewed it here: th-cam.com/video/eVzYyYrnEQg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k3XY0F5qCzJM8-wp
Love the flexibility for sure!
Looks like the perfect travel charger. I travel into Europe quite a lot and I’ve been relying on a couple of different options.
It's great how slim it is when folded for sure.
Can you please include the Amegat 3-in-1 magnetic qi2 charger? Love these videos.
Will look it up!

It's true! Glad this was useful for you.
@@beardfm I'm thinking it might not be officially available in Canada yet, because here on Amazon it's listing for $363. 😆
Im still rocking the MagSafe duo . Im hoping apple updates it soon!
It's still a great charger! hoping for USB-C too
Love the videos how you compare to the others you’ve reviewed and really get into the details. The best 3-in-1 reviews and analysis on the web! Love the videos, keep it up.
Appreciate that! Will keep them coming!
I was actually looking forward to buy this and you helped me decide 😅
Glad it came at the right time!

I use a StandBy mode with some HomeKit controls usually 😉

This might be the 2in1 I go with. Not many great 2 in 1 options but this looks great. Just will wait for a sale to upgrade.
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

Because Ugreen is not apple certified. Chargers like nomad, belkin and satechi won’t cause overheating.
The one's I've tested get warm occasionally, like when charging from low battery percentages, but they don't stay hot persistently throughout charging. Make sure it's certified Qi2 or MagSafe because that makes a difference as well.
could it be used to charge the new ipad pro 11inch ?

👍 What masses for those devices ? Low mass appreciable for travelling !

Thanks for the review. Like it. Shame the watch is at the back or it could be perfect 😢
Some people like it on the back, but yeah I prefer to see the charge.
what brick and cable are you uusing?
Anker, please, we need a slim/compact Qi2 MagSafe battery pack! 🙏🏼
Belkin has one now available in the Apple Store...review soon!
Thanks!
Can you charge all 3 devices with max output at the same time?
You can!
Can u check if mous 3 in one is qi2
i like the watch in the back.. i don’t need to see it..
This is perfect then!
Morning Bori. Does any of the chargers you’ve seen also has the option to add a usb c cable to charge something else that doesn’t have qi charging?
Not the 3-in-1's that I've been testing, but Anker has some desktop chargers with lots of ports + a MagSafe charger: amzn.to/3XL0WwE
Does the ‘AirPods charger’ on the Satechi charge other Qi devices as well? Or does the indentation block that?
The indentation doesn't allow for other phones and such to charge, unfortunately. The Twelve South is better for that.
Is this Made for iPhone certified?
Qi2 is based off Apple’s own MagSafe spec, so you won’t see “Made for iPhone,” but its MagSafe under the hood
Is this official Apple magsafe certified?
Yes! Qi2 is based on MagSafe and verified by Apple
Damn lost me when it wasn’t easily adjustable.. almost a buy
Yeah it's close. Twelve South is still my default: th-cam.com/video/l0GkqFI5NRQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=c0I-pfNtunvZLwKG
Satechi? Uff… u know what that means 💰💸💸💸
They didn't sponsor or send me the charger, I bought it myself!
Hey stephen
Hey!
What are the chances you can send me the Setachi for free? Ima fan 😜
esa molee
130 dollar for a charger 🙄
Correction: 130 for 3 chargers … buy them separately and you’ll get there quick.
3-in-1's can be pricey, but keep an eye out on cheaper ones that don't use certified Qi2 or MagSafe pucks
