Today, Twelve South is introducing an updated version called the HiRise Deluxe. Its basic design and function remains the same, but Twelve South has updated two aspects that address the only (very minor) qualms we had with the original HiRise.
Now, the Deluxe model doesn’t require any tools for making size adjustments to accommodate nearly any case. Also, instead of having to provide your own charging cable, Twelve South is now including one Lightning and one Micro-USB cable. In addition to black and silver, the Deluxe HiRise will also be available in a gold finish.
The Twelve South HiRise Deluxe is available now for $59.99. The $25 up-charge over the original HiRise is reasonable since it includes a Lightning ($11-19 value) and Micro-USB ($2-3 value) in addition to other design upgrades.

Charleston, SC, November 18, 2014 – Twelve South introduces HiRise Deluxe, a beautifully designed iPhone and iPad dock for charging and hands-free use. This Deluxe Edition of the best-selling HiRise now includes color-matched Lightning and Micro-USB cables to charge iPads and iPhones – even in battery cases like the Mophie Juice Pack. Also new is a simplified no-tool assembly, one-handed adjustment for cases, and three color options including a beautiful new Gold finish. This versatile stand is available now for just $59.99 including the two cables. The original HiRise is still available without cables for just $34.99. More info and images can be found at twelvesouth.com.
HiRise Deluxe is an indispensable office mate, elevating your iPhone or iPad closer to eye level for making hands-free FaceTime and Skype calls while keeping power connected and charging. Included Lightning and Micro-USB cables means you can leave your original cable in your travel bag for on-the-go use. Parked next to your computer at work, HiRise Deluxe is perfect for keeping tabs on the weather, Twitter or incoming messages.
HiRise Deluxe is also perfect at home. Place it in the kitchen as a power station for Dad’s iPad, Mom’s iPhone and even the kids’ iPod touch. Park it on your bedside table to charge your iPhone overnight while using it as an alarm clock. And whether you’re rocking Sonos or Apple AirPlay for wireless home audio, HiRise is the front-end dock you’ve always wanted. For more personal concerts, HiRise Deluxe doesn’t block the the iPhone headphone ports like some other docks, so you’re free to connect your Beats for late night homework sessions.
“HiRise Deluxe is a more perfect charging dock, thanks to our customers,” said Twelve South Creative Director Andrew Green. “They asked for color-matched cables. HiRise Deluxe comes with a Lightning AND a Micro-USB cable! Easier adjustment? HiRise Deluxe now has a dial to change support depth. And for simple assembly, choose your cable and clip — that’s it! No tools necessary. But the new Gold color? That one’s for me.”
HiRise Deluxe, which includes Micro-USB and Lightning Cables, is available now in silver, black and a new gold to match the newest iPhones. HiRise Deluxe is compatible with any device which charges using either a Lightning Cable or Micro-USB (like extended battery cases).
