CES 2025 is the perfect opportunity for companies to show off their niche and questionable technology. Swippitt has taken advantage of the event to reveal its toaster lookalike that can refuel your smartphone in just two seconds. The setup includes a main, toaster-looking hub responsible for recharging and swapping the battery packs, special phone cases, and a companion app.
Swippitt first revealed its battery charging solution during CES 2025 (via TheVerge). Available in six different colors, the $450 hub can house up to five battery packs at once. Those relying on the toaster lookalike to charge their smartphones will have to apply a unique phone case with a battery pack slot. The case is similarly available in six colors and costs a whopping $120.
