Does anyone use a wireless power pack? I don't see how I would... I usually use these kinds of power packs when I travel, so I'm either on the plane using the device (wire works better because I can still handle the device) or have it thrown in my pack charging (wire works better because it's not sitting nicely on a table and aligned)...



I'm having a hard time getting the math to work here... 5000mAh won't charge the 2700mAh iPhone X once, but a 10,000mAh source will charge it 2 to 3 times?!

Good point cord vs no cord.

But regarding the recharge. Loss is off the pack not the flow.
 
A truly wireless power bank powered by a truly wireless charger powered by a truly wireless charger for the charger powered by a truly wireless charger for the charger for the charger...
 
should of made a strap you can lock your phone down with. nobody likes magnetic plates if you dont have a case
 
If it’s an efficiency loss, then it’s off the flow, isn’t it? What kind of fixed loss is there?

A battery is always going to have fixed loss off the top. Not sure what it is on his particular battery. But doubling the battery doesn’t double the loss. Either way, 5000 mah plus the loss plus the inefficiency and power lost being wireless means 5000 is one charge at best. The issue I have with that is what’s the point of having to recharge the charge pad after every single use? Might as well just recharge the phone after every single use. Same difference (hate that saying haha).
 
I like Qi charging more than I thought I would, but I'm really looking forward to that AirPower mat and I'm hoping it has less issues with sweet spots so I don't have to set my phone down within a half inch of wiggle room.

The bigger the sweet spot the less efficient the charging. I can literally put my phone nearly anywhere on the mophie except the bottom 20% of the phone and it charges. I have a Belkin and it’s more sensitive. Maybe try a Mophie.

$22, the price on this other one is ridiculous.
I suppose without the dock it's not exactly the same, oh well.

Yeah, it's only half the product. With this wiba, you can charge your iphone without the battery pack and stack if you want to charge everything. Nothing else I know of on the market that does that.

You should be able to plug in the battery directly, that would eliminate the half of this product that is unnecessary.

lol, that would defeat the purpose of the 2 in 1 concept, you reading the article at all?

Whole point is you can wirelessly charge your iphone OR stack with the iphone.
