Twelve South HiRise 2 Deluxe Charging Dock
Our pick for the best iPhone dock goes to the Twelve South HiRise 2 because of its great design, extremely sturdy base, and its ability to charge virtually any Lighting product including an iPhone, iPod, iPad, and even an Apple TV remote.
- Charging dock for all your Lightning or Micro-USB powered devices.
- Elevates your iPhone to a more comfortable angle for hands-free FaceTime calls.
- Includes Lightning and Micro-USB cables.
Why the Twelve South HiRise 2 is the best?
The Twelve South HiRise 2 solves many of the issues that plague most charging stands because of its heavy-duty design.
It has an incredibly sturdy and grippy base that is twice as heavy as its predecessor. This means that heavier devices like an iPad Pro can sit on this stand without toppling it over. It also has an adjustable support post which means even if you have a large, rugged case on your device, you can be confident it will be able to hold it securely while charging.
On top of all that, this dock comes in two beautiful colors, a silver and a new black. It also comes with an MFi-certified Lightning cable as well as a micro-USB cable if you’re looking to charge other, non-Apple devices.
