Wireless Charger 8/X?

eagleglen said:
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

I assume the answer is yes, but wireless charging works through cases correct?

Yeah most will, even the bigger wallet cases

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.

Exactly, I will be all over the Airpower, so I'll save my money for that as you know it's gonna be $100 bucks coming from Apple🙂

Most cases, Yes. I'm sure there are some that are to thick, but I wouldn't know which ones those would be.

Thanks, I only use the Apple Leather cases. Ordered a few X's with my order yesterday.
 
This could be nice if only the plate under the watch will be wireless charging pad

I’ve got an Anker one for my 8. When I bought it before my phone arrived, it was £13.99 on Amazon. Works like a charm. 😉

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?

Not a whole hell of a lot other than price and quality control over some of the really cheap and nasty ones.
I’m planning on buying a couple of Ravpower ones for around the house (they also say they’ll support the faster charge when the update is released) and I’ll buy one of Apple’s ones next year for my bedside so I can just drop everything onto it at night.

I bought a Belkin for my bedroom since it doesn’t need fast charging. And a spigen fast charge with the adapter for my living room.
 
thinking about getting anker one, it's the thinnest and the led lights go out. only thing that's confusing is it says you need to have the qc 3.0 adapter for the fast charger to work.

can't you just use a 10w usb power adapter?

If you’re just trying to fast change an iPhone, when it’s available obviously, I think you just need more than 7.5W.
 
Anyone know if the X is magnetic? If so, are there any wireless charging car mounts out there that work like this? This would be sweet.
 
a year later. I have wireless chargers coming out of my arse. In terms of my original query, the iotti fast charging car dock has been a champ.
