Insignia Qi Certified Wireless Charging Pad

Sure, and please compare this logo to the one currently being used by Insignia...Apple would never approve of the logo usage Insignia has implemented. They're simply hoping that using the iPhone brand will help sell more products - there is nothing certified about it.

And also note that if it says Works with iPhone, that it is certified by the manufacturer, NOT Apple - per Apple legal.

If you actually take a minute to read both statements regarding “Made for” & “Works with” they both say “certified by the developer to meet Apple performance standards”.

Not sure why it’s so hard to understand but think what you will. This is a certified Apple accessory.

The only inductive charger you're going to want to use, based upon your criteria, is the AirPower mat, once it's released. Otherwise you're going to have to be ok with defaulting to devices that meet Qi standards.

He can also use the Mophie or Belkin as they are also Apple certified. Stop spreading false information.

They are not Apple certified...

I'm not suggesting anyone should or shouldn't use any wireless charger. In fact, if the charger is Qi certified, it should be totally fine for charging an iPhone 8 or X, but one of the posters said they only use Apple certified products and Made for iPhone is not an Apple certification. It's a certification of another manufacturer that the product is made for iPhone. MFi is a bit more strict, as it uses Apple guidelines to ensure a product meets certain minimums that Apple has deemed to be needed.

Yes they are, Apple publicly recommend them. Made for and Works with is the same MFi certification, the verbiage is the same.

It’s comes with a 15w wall charger and is Apple certified so it will charge at 7.5w if you updated your iOS. I also called Insignia and they confirmed.

I'm not sure why you keep pushing that it's Apple certified. As someone else mentioned,

Ahh ok you must have verified this with Apple management. I spoke with Insignia and they said it was, not sure what else I can do.

I have no idea why a few people turned this post into a 3rd party Apple certification discussion with tons of misinformation.

Anyway this a cheaper alternative than Mophie or Belkin with faster 7.5w charging, that’s all I wanted to share.

I was looking for something else and come across this thread.

Apple has an up-to-date searchable database of MFI / Works with iPhone accessories. This charger / model is NOT on it and is definitely not Apple certified.

Also, according to this charger's Qi certificate detail, it ONLY supports 5W charging. Not 7.5W.
