Anyone seen those round wireless charger plates being advertised for iPhones, and do they actually work? The one I had with Samsung worked great. I'm not sold on these aftermarket parts though - rather buy from Apple. And I do NOT want to have to buy a special case to maker it work.
Thx
 
No iPhone to date has inductive charging capabilities. So if you don't want to buy a case to make it work, or plug in some kind of adapter to the phone, you won't get inductive charging.

Hopefully the Apple Watch inspired Apple to introduce inductive charging soon enough. I think the 10th Anniversary iPhone might see this.
