Wireless Charger 8/X?

[LarryJoe33]

Anyone with the 8 have one and which would you recommend?

Mophie, Belkin, QI? $10 to $59?

Not sure if this is a "deal" but for $10 bucks I ordered it. I am assuming I am going to been more than one wireless charger.

Mophie owner. I like the compact size of this wireless charger and it does have some good reviews. For me what’s not to like about it. Price is the only deciding factor for some.

I also purchased the Mophie charging pad. Seems well built. Can’t wait to use it on my X.

Is Apple planning on releasing on of their own?

Yes they are releasing one next year, Airpower i believe it's called and that's the one i'm waiting for as it charges the iPhone Apple Watch series 3 and the AirPods all at the same time.

I bought the Anker one for my 8 Plus. Works well and was only £14 at the time.

Anyone know of a larger one like Apple will sell? I'd like to get one now that can fit my X and S3 Watch.

What is the difference between the Mophie and some of the much cheaper ones like the Anker mentioned. I see the Mophie specs say it will be supporting high-speed charging. Do the cheaper models not support that?

* High-speed wireless charging is enabled with a free software update coming later this year.

personally would only buy a wireless charger that stands up. guess one thats flat is ok for the office but at night needs to be a stand.

Currently, only the Mophie and Belkin will support high-speed charging when it’s enabled.

I’m going to purchase the Mophie today and the Apple AirPower when it’s released.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll swing by the Apple Store today and pickup the Mophie.

I ordered the Anker Fast Qi Charger from Amazon, the reviews were good. Available from Nov 13th

 

[Appl3FTW]

I got the Samsung fast charger for my 8 plus.

This is the one I went with after reading some decent reviews.

Just remember that ios 11 only supports standard wireless charge right now at 5W. Once they turn on fast wireless charge you can take advantage of the 2.5 extra watts (whoopie but it will be a little faster). For that you'll need a USB 3.0 wall adapter and a charger that supports it, like this one.

I plan on get the RAVPower fast wireless charger. Which gets mentioned in the verge article posted earlier.

 

[LarryJoe33]

I think I want it to be a lie flat charger.

 

[Speedman100]

I bought the Mophie yesterday. Can't use it until I get iPhone X on Friday though haha. Mophie seems nice. Good build quality. Looks nice on my nightstand

 

[chrisforpm]

No complaints with the Belkin one purchased from the Apple Store. Works as advertised.

 

[lirn8]

They all do the same thing...
The iPhone doesn't support fast charging
I prefer one that the device can stand

 

[LarryJoe33]

I just ordered a few more options off Walmart. Can't go wrong for $10 bucks a pop regularly $39.

It will eventually through a software update according to a couple reports

When fast charging actually comes out next year, I will get one and still keep my $10 chargers. Got three of them - work, kitchen and nightstand.

I just purchased one that stands and was recommend by The Verge site, and had good reviews on Amazon. It supports fast charging for when that feature is enabled by Apple and was only $20, but you need to buy a USB charger with sufficient power separately. One aspect that I particularly liked was that the phone can be placed on it standing-up or sideways. Here are the links at Amazon:

RavPower Wireless Charger

RavPower 24W Dual USB Wall Charger



Edit: Forgot to mention, there's a promotional code in the product description page for the wireless charger that says if you buy it with the wall charger, you get a 40% discount, so $8 off. Together they'll run $22.

Yeah that's my plan too. Get a few cheap chargers for work and home and then maybe get the Airpower charger or some other fast charger once it is actually enabled.
