Ok, so I’m trying to get the most out of my wireless charging. I have an iPhone X and I’m looking to purchase everything I need to charge my phone wireless both st home at work. I know Apple devices charge wirelessly at a maximum of 7.5w but what I’m reading about what exactly I need to enable this is confusing and people saying so many different things. I figured I’d come here and see if I can get some straight answers so I can order everything.

I read that it all starts with the adapter coming out of the wall. What is the wattage I need to get the full 7.5w out of my wireless charger? Can I use the Apple 12w iPad chargers that I already have plenty of or do I need an adapter with the qc2.0/qc3.0 support? Also, what is this IQ standard I read about on some of them?

Now as far as the actual charging pad goes, do they make specific 7.5w chargers I need to buy or does any charger that supports fast charge at 10w work for 7.5w wireless charging for Apple? I purchased this one:

It seems to support fast charging, but obviously I’ll need the adapter for it and the micro usb cable.

The adapter I’m looking at right now is this one:

I thank you in advance if you could clear all this up for me and let me know what I need. There’s a lot of conflicting information out there and as soon as I start believing one thing I read another convincing post.
