    iPhone Fast Wireless Charging?

    I have an iPhone X. I've read through many articles and reviews about the 2017 iPhones - I'm not sure where I read it, but I've seen that, apparently, wireless charging can be upgraded by Apple to be "fast wireless charging" through a software update at a later time. Is this legitimate? Has...

    Wireless charging question

    For those that have the 8/X, I have a question about the wireless charging. Today, I have my iPhone 7 plus in a thin, clear TPU case, and inside the case (between the case and the phone), I have a metal plate adhered to the case wall, so that when I'm in the car, I can use a magnetic phone...

    iPhone X iPhone X Wireless charging while using GPS

    Hey all, Since I'm new to the whole wireless charging thing I'm a bit behind. I got the iOttie Qi car mount (my third of these mounts, definitely my favorite mounts, just with Qi this time). However, I'm running GPS apps like google maps and it only seems to maintain the charge, never increase...

    Experiences with wireless car chargers? So far I am not impressed

    I’m curious if anyone has had good experiences with a wireless car charger. I got this Wofalodata charger for iPhone X. I’m using an Anker cable and a Maxboost 2.4a plug. The wireless charger seems rather weak. When using GPS the battery percentage doesn’t move up or down. I’m using Apple...

    2016+ Chevrolet Camaro Wireless Charging

    Hello all, anyone in here drive a '16+ model year Camaro that has the wireless charging dock? A follow up to that question is, how has it been with charging, does it work well or suck? Anything special I need to do in order to get it to work or is it just have your car running (or off) sit...

    iPhone 8 Plus Battery Case suggestions?

    I just got my 8 Plus and I am a heavy user so I need a battery case. I had the Apple "Smart Battery Case" for my iPhone 7 and HATED it. It peeled, cracked and was a disaster at the end of my carrier's upgrade. That being said this is what I would like to have with the case: Lightning...

    iPhone 8 charger hack!

    Was in Ikea today and wanted to try out, maybe buy one of the wireless charging lamps. So at £60 I abandoned that! But then I saw you can buy the little charging doodah for £10, and back in the office section they had tablet stands for like £3. So! With no previous experience I decider to mix...

    Qi Chargers - Am I missing something?

    So I recently got the iPhone 8 and would like to buy a Qi charging pad for my desk at work. I’m not wild about shelling out $60 for this so I’ve been looking on Amazon. The Anker one people have been recommending here appears to no longer be available from Amazon anymore so I was looking at this...

    PopSockets and Wireless Charging?

    Does anyone use popsockets on your iPhone case but also want to be able to use the new wireless charging!? What are you doing for this? I tried mine and it connects for a few seconds and then disconnects from the wireless charger.

    Wireless Charging & Credit Card Cases

    I'm a huge fan of credit card/wallet cases. I'm assuming wireless charging is going to damage the magnetic strip on my credit cards. However, as we're slowly moving to chip transactions, we'll be swipping less. Does wireless charging damage chip cards?

    Getting peoples' hopes up: Wireless Distance Charging via HomePod.

    Apple has elected not to include inductive wireless charging for multiple years after it has been available, including well after it has advanced in speed and efficiency, and after they've used it in the Apple Watch. Phil Schiller previously, essentially called it something of questionable...

    Apple & Energous wireless charging technology...

    (*EDIT* Started getting long winded here and kind of went off on a technology rant in fields other than phones. If your interested in that stuff ,read on, if not skip to the bottom couple paragraphs to get to the overall point ) As most of you are aware Apple has said for a few years now that...

    Wireless Inductive Charging - The real reason for headphone jack removal

    Simple-- Wireless charging. The iPhone X will be charged wirelessly, so you won't need the stupid lightning port in the first place. You'll be able to charge and use headphones at the same time with this technology, so that issue is erased. I'm assuming they will release some sort of...
