NEWS – There are a plethora of wireless chargers on the market today. Twelve South maker of the HiRise charging stand for iPhone has created a wireless charger that’s pretty as a picture, literally.
The PowerPic is a picture frame that wirelessly charges your phone. Hidden inside the New Zealand pine picture frame is a Qi charger capable of providing up to 10-watts of fast charging power to your phone.
The contemporary looking frame holds any 5” x 7” photo. Just set any phone that can be charged wirelessly against the frame’s glass to start charging. PowerPic is even capable of charging your phone through phone cases up to 3mm thick.
A small status light located on the back of the frame lets you know when your phone is fully charged. It also alerts you if it detects a foreign object that could prevent your phone from charging properly.
The Twelve South PowerPic comes in black or white and is available from Amazon for $79.99.

For a second, I thought it came with an app that synchronized the phone screen with the picture in the frame. Wouldn’t that be slick?
