Twelve South’s HiRise Duet is an upgrade from the HiRise for iPhone/iPad; it now includes an integrated Apple Watch charging disk and its own power supply (versus USB connectivity).
This sleek charging stand powers an iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time. According to Twelve South, it will power up an iPhone 40% faster than both standard or wireless charging.
[What’s in the box]
The back of the stand and connector height are both adjustable too. In short, the HiRise Duet offers double the charging in half the space (in a 3.75” square footprint).
HiRise Duet’s base is lined with a soft layer of premium leather and holds your iPhone upright so you can see and interact with it as it charges. The Apple Watch sits underneath in Nightstand mode, eliminating the need for an extra cable.
At the end of your day, just wrap your Apple Watch band around the base of the stand, set your iPhone on the Lightning post and wake to two fully charged devices.

Note that while our iPhone Xr with an Apple case fits just perfectly without adjustment, our older iPhone 6 (with a slightly thicker Speck case) requires that the Lightning outlet be raised a bit higher, which is done via the back with an included mini wrench key.
Just unscrew, adjust to the correct height, then tighten and screw on the back portion of the charging stand.
The HiRise Duet also includes four click-in plugs to charge up your devices in North America, Japan, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, UK, Hong Kong and Singapore.
