An iPhone dock has become a must-have tech accessory for anyone who likes to keep their devices perfectly organized, while providing a convenient space to charge up phones in less time.
With so many docks on the market — offered in a range of prices — you may be wondering which iPhone dock is worth your time and money. This is the iPhone dock every Apple store employee loves because it charges your battery in SECONDS.
Twelve South HiRise
The Twelve South HiRise 2 for iPhone/iPad costs about $40, which makes it comparable to the price of an Apple dock and is making a name for itself among customers and tech experts.
This dock was named one of the “Best Tech and Apps for Your Home Office” by Wirecutter, and Business Insider listed it as its best overall iPhone dock.
According to Business Insider: “The HiRise 2 holds your iPhone up off the base of the stand so your speakers aren't muffled and the home button is accessible. It's a clever design that frees up your phone for use while charging securely. If you still have an iPhone 6S or older with a headphone jack, you can access that, too.”
A smaller footprint is one big reason why customers choose this dock, as is the fact that it pairs with AirPods and Wireless Beats, has adjustable rear support that doesn’t require that you remove your phone’s case before charging it, comes in three colors (white, black, and gray), and has an overall excellent rating and good reviews.
According to one reviewer: “This stand has improved significantly compared to a version that I bought years ago. The thickness and weight of the base have been increased, which makes the stand much more secure. The rubber material on the bottom prevents the stand from moving when tapping the iPhone.
One of the greatest improvements I found recently was how easy it is to remove the support bracket. This allows me to quickly remove the bracket to be able to charge my AirPods case.”
And another reviewer writes: “I have a few Twelve South products but this is my favorite. I have this on my desk and its like adding a second monitor. It holds my 7+ with no issues. Instead of connecting to my laptop, I just attached the cable to a USB extension for charging only.”
