Thanks in advance

Samsung EP-PG950BBEGWW Samsung Wireless Fast Qi Charger for S8/S8 Plus - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XD7FRQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_uNJVzbRMGEHMW

I am going to wait a few months before buying anything. I think any Qi charger will work but you will not get fast charge.

Air power looks good but is anybody getting one to keep them going until then?

Think a wireless charger that you can use as a stand is what i will look for.

I've gone for this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N0XZDMD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_R3nWzbFTQWF9M

It arrives today, but obviously I won't be able to test it out until Friday.

I probably won't bother with AirPower because I don't have a watch or AirPods.

What Qi chargers are you buying for your 8, 8+ or X? From where?

I got two of the Belkin Boost Up's through Apple.com - one for home and one for work.

I've got this one sitting next to my keyboard right now - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KJL4XNY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - waiting for my preordered iPhone 8+ to arrive sometime within the next week.

And I've got this one on its way via UPS today https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3XH3KQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - to sit next to my bed for overnight charging.

Bought the first one, and it was £2 cheaper a few days ago....

Found this review kind of funny...

LOL how painful it is to read those uninformed reviews.

I grabbed three of these last week hoping that they'll be suitable. Price has gone up a few dollars since I ordered, but with 3 coils I'm thinking they'll be forgiving on exact placement and they were certainly economical. I plan to use them with Apple's 12W power supplies.

$60 for a qi charger!? WHY? Any $15 one on Amazon will work exactly the same.

No thanks

No thanks

Please explain

Please explain

Maybe not settling for a lesser product IMHO.

That one will work just fine. You can throw the phone on it in pretty much any direction and it hits a coil. Using it in my car for my 7+

What exactly is lesser about it? Charges at 7.5w with the qi standard... what does the belkin do again?

Cost doesn't necessarily mean that something else is lesser. Many "name brand" products are often made right along side the cheaper ones, using the same components. Often times you're just paying for the name.

Never bought a Qi chager before, but I’m in the market, some my iPhone 8 arrives tomorrow. I’d really like one to be a pad (not a stand), black, and thin. I don’t even know what brand to trust. Recommendations?

I bought the mophie pad from the apple store at West Edmonton Mall yesterday and it works great, even with a case on. And yes, it’s black

I have the same one and it works perfectly 🙂

Every single one that I have seen is nothing short of an embarrassment to design. The only one that looks good is of course Apple’s which I’ll have to wait well into 2018 for.

I picked this one up too just over a week ago. Was slightly cheaper then at £14. Sleek little unit.

Bookmarked the black one! It looks really nice! Any recommendations for a white one? I prefer white if it looks sleek enough to match the other cables/macbook chargers.
