The Satechi Magnetic 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand will magnetically dock your iPhone 12 while also charging your AirPods and preorders have already begun.
Crafted from aluminum, the Satechi Magnetic 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand has a round Qi charger that allows any iPhone 12 model to connect via magnets, similar to MagSafe. It will power your iPhone 12 at up to 7.5W.
The charging pad below will charge a set of AirPods at up to 5W.
The bottom has a non-slip grip to prevent the dock from moving on your desk, and a ball head behind the magnetic Qi charger allows the phone to be rotated to almost any angle. It powers over USB-C so the cable can be replaced by the user if needed, and it will work with any USB-C power adapter that provides enough juice.
It is available for preorder now from Satechi for $59.99, though Satechi is offering a launch special of 20-percent off if you use promo code MAGNETIC which brings the price down to $48. The promotion is valid until February 15, 2021.

This is better looking than the Anker version, but I still prefer the Belkin "tree", at this time. The Satechi's well for the AirPods is a nice touch though.
A tree would be nightstand or desk kit for me, so QI 7.5W would be ample. It warms the phone up noticeably, so I don't know that MagSafe power would be better in this instance.
