I have the same one and it works perfectly
I have the same charger sitting next to me
To get the faster charging, do you have to use the Anker charger, or can you use an iPad 12W brick?
Got a tip for us?

@Mlrollin91 - I have yet to receive my 8+ in the mail (supposed to come Tuesday). When you say faster charging, you mean the 7.5w? The Anker box says to get 7.5w I have to use a 2a charger. So yeah, an iPad brick (10-12w) or any Anker plugin charger should work.
Looking forward to seeing the draw on my Kill-a-watt when I get my 8+ this week (been a long... long wait (ordered Friday the 15th)).

Okay sounds good. Thanks for the information. I'm using an Aukey charger and its terrible. Using a 5W v. 12W doesn't seem to make a difference.
The Specifications on the Anker Wireless charger says this:
Input: 5V = 2A, 9V = 1.8A
Output: 5V = 1A, 9V = 1.1A
Am I correct in assuming that the 8/8+ needs a software update to use the faster wireless charging?
Edit: Darn, I'm not certain if this is for my slower Anker wireless charger that I bought for my bed or the faster QI one linked here. (I bought both) but only have 1 paper at my desk.
Edit2: Found the paper, the above is for the Anker Wireless charger linked above.
All good.
I've been seeing that around the forums today, but I have no issue getting faster charging with my 29W brick vs my 12W brick. Its about 5-8% higher after 30 minutes when comparing the 2.
The Aukey I have is 5V=2A input and 5V=1A output.
I bought this last week when it was £8.99.

times have changedI bought this one for my iPhone 8, and it seems to work fine with the Apple case on the phone. I did not check to see how long it took to charge, but it does charge the phone:

Get any ****** cheapish one now and wait a few months - there will be LOADS more on the market in the upcoming months! I'm using a ****** old one that I used for my S7 and it works perfectly fine but it's ugly so I'm definitely gonna upgrade it when more companies come out with them!
I picked this one up: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06ZZQ9F4M/ref=ya_st_dp_summary?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with this power brick: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01ES0EDVY/ref=ya_st_dp_summary?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I’ll be using this as my charger for when I’m asleep, so it was important to not have some obnoxious light stay on all night. I had read that some of the cheaper chargers made with rubber had melting issue so I wanted to go with a harder plastic.
~$23 total for a fast charger.

My 8 Plus will be here in 2 days and am looking to order a wireless charger soon. Anybody pick one up yet or have your eye on one? I really like the stands over the pads. May buy both, stand for home and pad for trips/car use.
These are the ones I’m looking at:

I will be buying the samsung fast charge wireless charger. I don’t want a wireless pad that is just flat. At night I will want to have it standing up while charging.

Love this one. Light up ring around the edge to know when its charging when you put your phone on, then dims.
I was going to get a stand up one, but not really sure it's any benefit.

My GMC truck already has a wireless charger in the front console:
