It's Belkin, so lemme guess... somewhere between $49.99 and $79.99 for the exact same thing you could buy on Amazon for $19.99.
Just gotta state the obvious... this is not wireless. What if the "wireless" on your phone of computer required your laptop to touch some device for network connectivity. Based on current Apple logic, my iPhone 1 dock counts as wireless charging. They are now using the Job's Reality Distortion Field for evil, instead of good.
I like the one for the car, but I would want a vent mount. I don't like the windshield mounts.
Yes! Or even better - RAM mount style ball mount with many different options.
I felt the same. I’m going to try a single wireless pad by the door for my iPhone 8. It’s the only wireless charging gadget we have in the house. I’m hoping to just drop it there when I come in, not be diffracted by my phone during family time, and take it upstairs for kids’ bedtimes. I’m hoping it works so I can feel confident about gradually moving all our devices that direction.I won't really be ready for wireless charging until all of my devices support it. I still have to charge my iPad nightly and with limited space on my nightstand my current solution is still the best for me. I have a phone and watch to charge as well but the watch is infrequent these days. Series 3 lasts so long I have started wearing it to bed and only charging when I shower and maybe an hour here and there randomly. Once I have all of my devices, AirPods too, wireless enabled then I might be ready to make it a bigger deal. As of today, its really no bother to just plug my phone and iPad in at night.
If a wireless charging solution involves physically placing a device on a pad with a wire then it’s not really a wireless charging solution.
That's the best they could come up with? An entire year and this is what we get?

It's Belkin. What did you expect from them that you are so disappointed? And also it's Belkin... they didn't "come up" with anything. They mostly just put their name on otherwise generic stuff and mark it up 200,000%. They have no signature product or competency. Their products are no better, and often worse, than competitors -- and usually more expensive.
I bought the RAVPower charger and plug for $25 on Amazon. It supports the 7.5 w fast charging that iOS 11.2 offers. Save your money. The reviews for it are great.
Ahead of this year's Consumer Electronics Show, which is set to kick off next week, popular accessory maker Belkin has announced several new wireless charging products designed for Apple's latest iPhones.
The Belkin Boost Up Bold Wireless Charging Pad is similar to the existing Belkin Boost Up Charging Pad available from Apple, but it comes in several different colors, like black, white, pink, and navy. It offers up to 10W output for fast charging on all Qi-enabled devices.

The Belkin Boost Up Wireless Charging Stand features the same circular design and the same colors as the Bold, but its charging surface is propped up by a frame that allows the iPhone to be charged while in landscape or portrait mode rather than when laying flat on a table. It works with all Qi-enabled devices and offers 10W output for fast wireless charging.

Belkin's Boost Up Wireless Car Charging Mount is designed to offer in-car wireless charging for Qi-compatible devices like the iPhone X, 8, and 8 Plus. It can be mounted on a dash or window, adjusted to fit different phone sizes, and it features an extra USB port for charging other devices. It offers 10W fast charging for all Qi-enabled devices.

The Boost Up Dual Wireless Charging Pad is designed to charge two Qi-enabled smartphones at once, side by side. Each charging pad offers 10W fast charging, and it works with all Qi-enabled devices.

For commercial applications, Belkin is introducing a Boost Up Wireless Charging System, which will be able to be installed in conference rooms, offices, user desktops, restaurants, retail stores, hotels, and more. Top-mount, flush-mount, and sub-surface mounting options are all available.

All of Belkin's new wireless charging products will be available in the spring or summer of 2018, with pricing unavailable at this time.

Yes, actually it IS wireless.
People are really getting butthurt over semantics of this technology and play this game. The point in which the transmitter that is a pad on a desk, installed flush mount on a table or window mount -- and the receiver which is your phone, there are NO wires, hence wireless.
I get your point that sure we'd love to have what's called "power at a distance" that is meters away. This is technology that everyone really wants. But don't get upset with the marketing term of wireless when it's true to the word, just not to the extent of what you want.
Like saying "Tesla doesn't actually have autopilot, they need to be accurate and say it's lane-guidance with sensor assist speed controlled, crash avoidance with parking featured ..." Once the car can come pick me up at the bar when I'm drunk and take me home and carry me to bed, that's when they can say it's autopilot.
Why not? There is no wire between phone and pad => Wireless!
Is there a wire connecting the phone to the charger? No...
I like the car phone holder idea.
That's not true, there are a ton of other fast charging options out there from other manufacturers such as Anker. My iOttie car dock is 7.5w fast charging.Well so far Belkin and Morphie are the only companies supporting charging at 7.5w on the iPhone. Assuming this device supports that, it’ll have that over the other cheaper brands found on Amazon.
Sometimes there are more complicated issues behind the scenes. Whether it's supply issues, R&D, Design issues, safety issues. There is a whole array of things that can go wrong.If others can release wireless chargers why can’t Apple? What’s the hold up?
