I have an iPhone 8 Plus and I’m looking on Amazon for a good Qi wireless charger for a good price. I’d like it to be capable of fast charging and would also prefer a pad instead of a stand. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be looking for so if anyone could recommend any that they use I would be very appreciative.

Thanks in advance!

I have the peloson it’s a pad not sure if it will fast charge. But I don’t need that. I like it. Paid like 13 bucks for it. Got it on amazon like everything else. It still charges even with my case on. Also with my wallet case with my dl and one credit card it it. I was amazed.

We will have to wait until 2018 to enjoy Apple's AirPower mat. As of now, The Mophie Wireless charger is the best in my opinion. There will be a software update to the iPhone 8/X that will allow faster charging.

I was wondering the same thing.
There's cheap ones on Amazon for £10-20 and the mophie is £54.95 which is a lot more expensive.. But if people are saying it's the best and supports fast charge I'll buy this for my X

I've been using the Mophie and it's fine. But in general I agree with this video in which they say that the Apple system is not really set up for wireless charging and to wait for the Airpower next year.

I have the RAVpower one. Works fine but I don’t think fast charging works since it is based on Qualcomm’s QuickCharge I think. Works fine and seems to charge at a decent speed.

I also want to buy wireless charger for my new iPhone. anyone try these one? These one says that "allowing your device to position vertically or horizontally when charging".

I just ordered the Spigen and will try and report back. There are several clones of the Seneo with different names all over Amazon and apparently they all stop working after a short period of time. They also cause weird issues with the 8, so I’d stay away from that one...

Are there any that are a mat like Apple’s? I’m not a fan of the puck designs I’ve seen.

I just bought one from Seneo, but I used it only a couple of times.
The reviews on Amazon were good, where did you read about issues with iPhone 8?

Has anyone tried Mophie's chargeforce wireless charging pad? It's $20 cheaper than the new Mophie pad.

Some of the lower rated reviews state that the chargers stopped functioning after a few weeks to a month. There were a few of the same complaints across all of the clones like that one...enough for me to decide against it. The Spigen I purchased is fantastic, tho. The phone connects instantly to the charger in both orientations but wireless charging is too slow. I use it as an overnight recharger on my nightstand. Perfect for that...

I was holding out for AirPower, but have now decided not to because it was planned for my bedside, and I prefer my Apple Watch in Nightstand mode so I can turn over in bed and read the display. That was the dealbreaker for me. I would still use the AirPower for my iPhone and AirPods, but I've decided I also prefer my iPhone in an upright position so I can see its display as well. Soooo... I bought 8 of Seneo's newest charging stand on Amazon (2 for my wife's and my bedside, 2 for my wife's offices, 2 for each of my kids, 1 for my office, and 1 for the kitchen/common area):

I bough one of the cheap Choetech pucks and it gets very warm. So I also got this TYLT Vu Wireless Charger
Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DG8NUC8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_kAsYzb8NQB26Q

It works well and doesn't require a separate USB wall charger as it comes with its own special power cable/block.

I have that one too. Worked well with previous phones, only negative is its 5W
[doublepost=1508968636][/doublepost]I have a new car with wireless charging that is the qi standard but is not listed as compatible with the X by Apple. I wonder why not.
