Recently added IKEA’s 5W integrated wireless charger in my bedside table to use at night.

iPad charger by the iMac. Using it to top up quickly during the day.

2.4A 6400mAh portable battery in backpack. Though not using as often. The X lasts quite long.

5W spigen wireless charger at night.

I do have a 61 W fast changer that I’ve used a few times to see how fast it chargers but general it’s the standard wireless charger I use overnight.

I always use my 12W iPad charger. It sufficiently charges it fast enough for my needs and I also use it to charge my Apple Watch as well.
The 12W charger is plenty fast and I’ve been charging my iPhones with it since 2012. I only got the 61 W fast charger for my iPad Pro 10.5 because it takes so long to charge with the 12W charger.

I often use the Samsung charging puck I got for my S7 Edge. If my S8+ happens to be on it first I use the regular iPhone charger. The iPad charger works fast enough for me in a pinch, or at least it did with my 7 Plus and my Ex-X, so I presume it would do so for my 8Plus.

Monday through Friday
- iPhone sits on a 7.5W fast charger (Mophie) during the day
- I don't charge my iPhone at night anymore during the week. I move to the iPad when I get home. so now, I arrive at my office with a phone normally at about 75% battery power and leave the office with it at 100%.

Weekend
- Charge iPhone and iPad as needed with a 29W USB fast charger or a standard iPad charger

Via a 5w Anker Qi Wireless charger overnight (8+).

Don't the new iPhones only charge at a max of 7.5w?
The design cool and it say compatible, so I choose to try.

I remember Anker also have the 10w charger on Amazon.:);)

Lightning cable and 5W charger or in-car USB port. I still haven't felt the need to go out and purchase any charging mat.

Since I usually charge my X overnight, I just use the stock 5W power adapter with lightning cable and take it off the charger each morning before work. I'm still no 100% sold on wireless chargers yet, but I'm sure down the line I will be.

For now I'm content with the stock charger.

I use the wireless charger if I'm not in a hurry, otherwise the charging cable with a fast charger is available when I really need it.
