What are charging speeds for HiRise 3 Deluxe?Updated 4 months ago

If you're considering the HiRise 3 Deluxe for a triple-use setup, rest assured that it delivers the fastest charging speeds possible for iPhone, AirPods Pro, and Apple Watch when used with the correct adapters and cables.

HiRise 3 Deluxe charging speeds are as follows:

iPhone MagSafe Charging (15W)

  • MagSafe technology supports up to 15W wireless charging, which is the maximum wireless charging speed for iPhones (excluding when in Standby mode, which can charge at reduced speeds).
  • This applies to all MagSafe-compatible iPhones, including the iPhone 15 series, and ensures faster wireless charging compared to standard Qi chargers.

Qi Wireless Charging (7.5W)

  • Standard Qi wireless charging on iPhones is limited to 7.5W.
  • This is slower than MagSafe because Qi does not take advantage of Apple's proprietary enhancements for faster wireless power delivery.
  • If a device supports only Qi (and not MagSafe), charging will be capped at this lower rate.

Apple Watch Fast Charge

  • The HiRise 3 Deluxe is Apple Watch Fast Charge compatible, which is particularly important for:
    • Apple Watch Series 7 and later (including Series 8, SE 2nd gen, and Ultra).
    • These models can fast charge up to 80% in approximately 45 minutes using a fast-charging puck and a compatible power source (like the one in the HiRise 3 Deluxe).
  • Older Apple Watch models will charge at their standard rate since fast charge is only supported on newer models.

What Updates Don't Change

  • Apple’s updates to iOS or hardware design (like the iPhone 15 Pro's titanium frame or the larger camera bump) do not alter the charging power standards.
  • The HiRise 3 Deluxe adheres to these charging specs and is optimized for both MagSafe and Apple Watch Fast Charge technologies.
