iPhone 3-in-1 MagSafe Charger Battle: Nomad vs Mophie vs Zike

I put three of the latest Qi2 MagSafe chargers to the test—Nomad Stand One Max, Zike Qi2 3-in-1, and Mophie Snap+ 3-in-1. Each has their own caveats and concessions, but stay till the end for a winner!

The magsafes zike look like they're made of adamantium lol, I think that and my vionentus wallet with an airtag slot were the best investment in August

[dbeatdibiase]

Dude you are so awesome! Absolutely subscribing, thank you for the amazing content, like you actually put in the work and get all the facts and give me everything I need to know so I can make the best decision, also I didn’t mind the nomad because I have a silicone Apple Watch band so I don’t need to buckle it while it’s charging but that price point issss a lot.

[kingkiril]

Nomad base one max is the best. I might get it with my next iPhone purchase. Currently have the base one from nomad and love it.

[jeffsnead]

Great.

Idea for future video. With modern Apple devices considered, how should owners go about getting the max charging (speed) out of their device. Best cables, power blocks, etc.

[jouan]

I went with the EnergyCell 3-in-1 wireless Qi2 certified charger stand for $55.99. Awesome

[jeffhale]

Thanks for sharing. I like the Nomad. Blessings on your day.

[victuringan]

Nomad Stand One Max costs $150 and doesn’t even include a charging adapter. That’s a complete robbery!

[destructodisk]

I was wondering if you could check out the Marnana magnetic power bank. I got one of these recently and I am pretty happy with it. I don't really have a way to test wireless charging speed or the USB C/ lighting output, so it would be cool to see your take. It is basically a 2-in-1 iPhone/Apple Watch magnetic charging stand that also doubles as a power bank. The cool part is it has 2 USB C ports and 1 lightning port. So if you wanted to you could turn it into a 3-in-1 by just adding one of those USB C Airpod dongles that are meant for MacBooks.

Using my big Anker camping battery with output display I was able to see how fast the battery itself charges up, which is a pretty reasonable 20W. I use it as a bedside charging stand unplugged, and then in the morning I take it downstairs and recharge it via solar, saving those precious pennies lol.

[MiddleofKnowhere]

Do you have any recommendations for a stand that can also hold headphones? I'm looking for something to be on my desk and help eliminate cable clutter, something that can ALSO hold my Sennheiser HD280 Pros would be nice as well.

Thanks for your video, i'm currently using mophie snap 3 in 1, and i like it. But sometimes, during charging, my iphone heats up considerably.

[Croyanter]

I still use the twelve south hirise, it’s so much better than anything else I’ve used.

[chillipepper]

I'm surprised no manufacturer has yet taken the best bits from say twelve south and included a touch sensitive night light for the bedroom/office - unless there's one I've missed?

[AlexManMe]

Was it just me but can the phone tell which charger it is on? Pretty sure I heard somewhere that you can set different standby mode depending on which MagSafe charger

[conthejas]

Tell me you’re from America without telling me you’re from America 1:15

[motomoto]

But how do they compare to the high rise

[victuringan]

I like the satechi 3-in-1 the most. Foldable and more compact!

[N.I.C.K.]

Does the Zagg/Mophie light on the front eventually turn off? Or does it stay lit the whole time it’s charging?

[abbidsuleman]

I have the qi2 satechi 3in1 which is brilliant probably the best one out of all them great for travel purposes too as it is a foldable charger and away you go, surprised it was not included.

Update: the phone charger stopped working after a month of use but the AirPods and Apple Watch charger continue to work, do not purchase!

[cremund]

88grams for the nomad. You are funny 😄 it is 880grams

[songjing]

Overall, Belkin 3 in 1 is the perfect now IMO
