Quote below from thewirecutter leads me to believe that there may be something special about Belkin's and Mophie's fast charging support that other Qi chargers do not have at the moment.

"this Belkin charger will support 7.5 W charging for iPhones once Apple issues the aforementioned software update; other chargers will apparently not. A Belkin representative told us, “Once iOS updates to 7.5W, the Boost Up 7.5W charger will deliver optimal charging for that exact device.”"

Other than the claim that their pad will support 7.5W charging speeds their page lacks any other information. There are no specs. No mentions of working with Apple like Belkin and Mophie have advertised. I realize RAVPower is considered a credible company, but the lack of information about Apple's fast charging software update at the moment makes me suspicious. Makes me wonder if maybe RAVPower is just crossing their fingers that since the specs for their pad exceeds 7.5W charging it will support 7.5W charging on the iPhone... that just sounds like wishful thinking to me.
... then again I could be completely wrong... making an issue out of nothing...
[doublepost=1509646380][/doublepost]Don't get me wrong I'd love it if it was confirmed 100% that RAVPower supports 7.5W with iPhones. The last thing I want to do is overpay for a Belkin or Mophie pad. My only issue is that since Apple hasn't endorsed the RAVPower pad like those other two. RAVPower may end up being limited to 5W like all the other 3rd party Qi chargers.

I'm thrown off by their listing since their iPhone wireless pad's included AC adapter is based on Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology. My understand was that iPhone wireless charging would NOT support Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology.The RavPower published they would support. I think they’d get in a great deal of issues if they advertise that and then pull the plug on that.
