When to Choose Satechi Qi2 Trio Wireless Charging Pad

Design-conscious users who prioritize premium materials and a flat, minimal desk aesthetic

The Satechi Qi2 Trio is the best-looking wireless charger in our roundup, with aluminum and vegan leather that rivals Apple's own design language. But at $130 with only 15W charging, you're paying a premium for aesthetics over speed.

Strengths

  • Premium aluminum and vegan leather construction — best materials in the roundup
  • Flat pad design takes up minimal desk space
  • Charges iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously
  • Matches Apple-style aesthetic perfectly

Limitations

  • 15W Qi2 charging is slower than 25W Qi2.2 competitors
  • $130 is premium pricing for 15W speed
  • Flat pad means no StandBy mode viewing angle

When to Choose Twelve South ButterFly SE 2-in-1

Travelers who want the most compact MagSafe + Apple Watch charger possible

The Twelve South ButterFly SE is the ultimate travel wireless charger. Its butterfly-fold design is unmatched for portability, and the vegan leather finish is gorgeous. The 2-device limitation and 15W speed are acceptable trade-offs for the best travel charger available.

Strengths

  • Ultra-compact butterfly design folds flat for travel
  • Premium vegan leather finish and magnetic closure
  • MFi-certified Apple Watch charging built in
  • Smallest travel footprint of any multi-device charger tested

Limitations

  • 2-in-1 only — no dedicated AirPods charging spot
  • 15W Qi2 charging speed trails faster alternatives
  • $100 is expensive for a 2-device charger
