I use the charger that came with my iPhone XR and a belkin wireless charger. Depends on where I am in the house when the phone needs a charge.

iPhone 11 Pro, use the 18W charger when traveling, 29W charger at home, and 7.5W Belkin charger on my desk at work. But I don't find myself using them very often anymore.
 
On a daily basis I use the 5W charger. I also have a 10W adapter that I mostly use when I travel as it provides me with 3 USB ports. I also have a MacBook Pro charger that I use with my iPhone when I need to fast charge it.
And I also have multiple wireless chargers but I'm using them less and less as I don't see the benefit over a wired charging solution.
 
Depends on where. At the desk a Samsung 15W travel charger and on the sofa the Satechi 75W Dual Type-C PD Travel Charger (using the 18W USB-C port). When travelling its either the Satechi charger else a 45W fast charger for the Samsung Note 10 (works great with my MBP as well). Wish my XS was USB-C!!
 
My iPhone 11 easily lasts a day without any charging, so I charge it overnight with Apple’s 5W charger that came in the box.

Some of us aren't always guaranteed to have an overnight to charge our phones irrespective of how long the battery would typically last. Maybe I'm unique in that I sometimes forget to plug my phones in at night. Anyway, I find it nice to be able to get a quick jolt of juice when needed. 5W simply doesn't cut it.

Mophie Wireless 7.5w, it’s a slow charge over night

My 11 Pro Max battery is awesome. I go all day without having to charge it until I go to bed.
 
I’ve got two, I usually wireless charge overnight, but when I need a quicker charge, I use a 27w USB PD charger that was included with the Essential Phone. Have long since gotten rid of that phone but kept the charger around? 🤷‍♂️
 
Very high share for wireless charging so far.

Because why not.. I charge this way exclusively and I LOVE IT!!!

Seriously, why would one use anything else!? The convenience is unreal. Tbh you're doing it wrong if you aren't wirelessly charging... Like frfr

It just doesn't charge fast enough for my needs. I actually had a wireless charging phone mount that was pretty cool, but I ended up going back to a fast-charging one in my car.
 
I had to go borrow and old 5w apple charger for my 11pro. The new supercharger heats the battery too much and the charging speed isn’t needed.

My phone doesn't get hot all all when it's fast charging. Also ... why don't you like fast charging? o_O

All iPhones gets hot from the new charger. The slower you charge a battery the cooler it stays and the longer it lasts. I also keep it between 40 -80%.
I am never in need of getting my phone charged fast.
 
I've been using an iPad charger for years, then that or an 18w charger after I got the XS.

I stopped using a 5w charger long ago and will never go back.

Haha use what ever charger makes you happy. When I had my 6s I used my iPad charger as it was nesseasary to charge the 6s all the time. Killed that battery pretty fast. This time I don’t need to rape that battery while charging as the capacity is now much better. So I can allow myself to charge it slowly and cool.
