Introducing the Twelve South ButterFly SE Qi2: A Sleek Dual Wireless Charger
Twelve South has unveiled the ButterFly SE Qi2, a compact and versatile wireless charging station designed to power up to two devices simultaneously. This innovative charger supports a range of Apple products, including iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods, as well as other Qi-compatible gadgets.
Design and Availability
The ButterFly SE Qi2 builds upon the success of its predecessor released in 2023, offering a refined and space-saving foldable design. Measuring just 6 x 6 x 2.5 cm and weighing 119 grams, it is ideal for both home and travel use. The charger comes with a 1-meter USB-C cable but does not include a power adapter, so pairing it with a 30W or higher charger-such as the popular Anker Nano Charger-is recommended for optimal performance.
Available directly from Twelve South, the ButterFly SE Qi2 is offered in six stylish colors: black, white, pink, iridescent plum, gray, and a shimmering iridescent plum variant. The suggested retail price is $99.99.
Charging Capabilities and Compatibility
This dual charging pad supports Qi2 wireless charging technology, compatible with iPhones from the 12th generation onward that feature MagSafe. While the maximum charging output for iPhones is capped at 15W, the ButterFly SE Qi2 efficiently powers Apple Watches and AirPods at up to 5W. Although some competitors offer up to 25W charging, this charger balances power and portability effectively.
Users can conveniently charge two devices at once, such as an iPhone alongside an Apple Watch or AirPods, making it a practical solution for Apple enthusiasts seeking to reduce cable clutter.
How the ButterFly SE Qi2 Compares
Compared to other multi-device chargers like the Anker MagGo-a foldable 3-in-1 wireless charging station-the ButterFly SE Qi2 focuses on simplicity and compactness by supporting two devices instead of three. This makes it an excellent choice for users who prioritize portability without sacrificing functionality.
Why Choose the ButterFly SE Qi2?
With the increasing number of wireless devices in everyday life, having a reliable and efficient charging station is essential. The ButterFly SE Qi2 offers a blend of modern design, practical features, and broad compatibility, making it a valuable accessory for anyone invested in the Apple ecosystem or Qi-enabled devices.
Its foldable form factor and multiple color options add a personalized touch, while the inclusion of Qi2 technology ensures future-proof wireless charging standards are met.
