I’m curious to how the Samsung fast charger will work with the iPhone? I have one coming in for the Note 8 and there is no need in going out and getting the Mophie if the Samsung charger will work fine.
Got a tip for us?

yeah I was just wondering about the fast charging capability once its updated and released on the phones, guess its only one way to find out so I wont waste money running out and buying the Mophie.
Does anyone know if there are any chargers out there that take advantage of the Qi 1.2 standard of a 45mm charging distance?
I just ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071JRRXZ4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I already have https://www.amazon.com/Charge-AUKEY...=8-1-spons&keywords=qc+3.0+wall+charger&psc=1 adapter for fast charging. Will report after I get my 8 plus on Friday on how it does.

Anyone see this? Includes Wall Charger. Looks like only for Prime members. Just ordered. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wire...walletcom&ascsubtag=ebs2d0d1d1505969684987sbe

That's a beautiful dog.
[doublepost=1505972395][/doublepost]Btw, will there be wireless chargers in the Apple stores by November?

They don't have to be apple branded simply because there aren't any, so far Apple doesn't make wireless chargers, unfortunately.

I am pretty sure that wall adapter will not work. iPhone fast charge does not use the Qualcomm fast charge as Samsung.

Haha that one was $40 just yesterday. Price has increased by $10 after it became popular.

I guess they want to mark them up once apple announced that they support wireless charging.
It also has a fan which is what caught my attention. Any sort of heat reduction would be a positive when it comes to wireless charging.
Here's a list of 5 under $20 ...

That's my guess as well
Does the Turbot also do landscape charging? The Pleson states as much, and would be great as a nightstand clock.
I got Turbot and Samsung chargers. Both work in portrait and landscape mode with 8 plus. Will update after I use them for few days.
I want to make sure that which ever one I buy, that it will be capable of faster charging once Apple releases that feature in A future software update.
Which qi charging pad are you guys buying? Also I assume you need to also buy a charger to plug into the wall. My understanding is this is the crucial part in order to take advantage of faster charging (7.5watts?) in the future.

I would think that for anything that uses either a lightning connection (not aware of any) or a micro-USB connection, that you could use an iPad charger plug - either the 10 or 12W plug should work. If the charger uses a proprietary connector, I would expect that charger to be included with the charging pad.
Normally I would agree but all the product listings say that the fast charging on the Samsung chargers only with the the latest Samsung phones, leaving me to wonder if they’re using some proprietary fast charging on top of the Qi standard, and whether that will work with the iPhone to get 7.5W.
For now only Belkin and Mophie is 7.5W, support iPhone fast charging. But they are too much expensive and I do not like the design. I just bought a wooden one and testing it now, will update to my thread in a few days.

If anyone is buying 3 or more chargers, Best buy has 25% off 3 or more of the Mophie chargers. I'm pretty sure it would work on the belkin as well.
I read somewhere that only the two models on Apple’s site will support fast charging because the “charge fast” signal is encrypted.
Since posting in this thread in Sep, I purchased the Mophie one for $60 and a cheap one off amazon ($7). Both work well, the Mophie is faster.
If you’re only charging overnight, the cheap one is fine. If it’s for your desk at work or in the kitchen, the Mophie might make sense. Not sure how QC chargers compare in terms of charge time (though I’ll test it and share results if someone’s mails me one).
