What 3rd party wireless charger will you get? [MERGED]

[johnparjr]

I like what I read about this one, mainly that there is no light that stays on. Can I just use my Apple cord and plug with this, or must I -- or should I -- buy something separate?

Now that we'll be getting the iPhone Xs and Xr in our family, it's time to get a wireless charger that will support them and my wife's Apple Watch.

So, what's the best charger out there that would be able to handle these 3 devices?

Newbie to wireless charging. Will either of these work for "fast" charging as long as I'm using something other than the 5W power adapter? Like if I used that iPad adapter with either of these, they'll have the same power output?

Answering one aspect of my question...the Apple Watch won't charge on non-Apple Qi chargers. Thanks Apple.

Lots of reviews stating that the charging base begins to fail after a couple of months. Have you not experienced any issues?

I have not had one issue with it so far. It is on my night stand and I use it everyday

Wait a minute, so ONLY the official Apple wireless charger works with the new Apple Watch Series 4???????

So I can purchase a third party dual wireless charger to charge BOTH my XS and S4 AW at the same time?

 

[Wallace]

Can anyone recommend a Qi (ideally 7.5W) wireless mat that can charge multiple iPhones at once from a reputable brand?

If the S4 watch is Qi proprietary then 3rd party won't work.

The Samsung Duo is a 7.5w dual charging station. Works for iPhone as well.

 

[Chacocliff]

Does anyone know if the faster wireless charging on the new iPhones will be 10 or 15w?

That Duo looks nice. Will it also charge the Apple Watch?

No Apple watch charging is proprietary unfortunately.

The stands etc you see still use the Apple watch charger just run it into the stand mount.

Are there any differences between the regular Boost Up and the special edition Boost Up from Belkin aside from the appearance?

Not really. They say it’s specially tuned for the iPhone. Really? It does have metal and chrome on the AC plug.

 

[gelie]

Do we have confirmation that the Xs Max will utilize 10 watts for wireless?

 

[tothewilderness]

Yeah, I briefly toyed with an idea of getting one because it's so shiny. The price tag was tough to swallow, though, especially when I still have a perfectly functioning regular Boost Up.

 

[gelie]

Does anyone have a link for the boost special edition?

 

[whsbuss]

Does anyone have a link for the boost special edition?

Sure fromApple

[gelie]

Thanks. It’s interesting that it doesn’t mention if it’s 7.5 or 10 Watts?

It says "Fast wireless charging Experience wireless charging using the Qi wireless standard, which delivers up to 7.5W to your iPhone".

So if the new Xs is capable of 10 watts , this charger will be outdated?

Yes but there was nothing reported that suggests 10w charging on the new iPhones. Besides after the AirPower debacle 10w may take much longer.

How do you like it? I'm torn between Samsung Duo, this one and the Mophie.
