Qi Charging Pad

[Ankaa]

Hi,

so, when I search Amazon for Qi charging pads (for an iPhone 8), I'm overwhelmed with the plethora of available items - many of which have brand names I've never heard of (China, I guess). Apple.com offers two, but they do seem pricey. With reviews on Amazon it's always somehow a hit or miss and I often have a hard time trusting those.

We don't necessarily need fast charging.

What are your recommendations?

I have about 8 of these all over, but in black. They are VERY thin, work very well, and have one of the highest gaps on the market for space between the pad and the phone, so if your case is think, and you have a pop stand on it like my kid, it still charges. Fast charge compatible too.

Only the Morphie and the Belkin recommended by Apple do 7.5w fast charging with iPhone 8, 8 plus, and X. The all others will charge at standard rate.

I purchased the Mophie wireless base charger last week from Apple. It works really well.

Yes, but it's for a bed-side table. So as long as the iPhone is fully charged over night, we really don't need fast charging.

Besides, I have to admit, they are somewhat pricey (but that's what's throwing me off a little about all those cheaper models - I'm mostly concerned about saftey)

11.2.1 improved the fast charging rate for those 2 devices.

Can't go wrong with Belkin, though it is a bit pricey.

I just picked up the basic Samsung Qi charger when it was $15 on Amazon. It will only ever support standard 5W wireless charging, but that’s fine for me. It’s also WPC Qi certified, along with every other Samsung wireless charger; which is a plus in my book. Even comes with the power adapter in box, which some do not. I would honestly tell you to pick up any Samsung Qi charger if you can find it for around $20.
