iPhone X Wireless Charging?

I bought a Choetech T511 from Amazon, works like a charm with iPhone X

I have the same wireless charger and it works perfectly except I don’t think it fast charges though. When I monitor the watts on a coconut battery app while charging on a Choetech wireless charger(using ipad adapter) it doesn’t go above about 4.5w.
Other than that, it works like a charm!
 
I have 4 of the Seneo wireless chargers from Amazon (two of the version without the AC adapter, and two with) and they all work perfectly.
 
I always use Qi charging wherever possible; I don't want to wear out any lightning cables or possibly cause damage through overuse on the phone itself.

That’s a very rare situation. Lightning ports don’t have any protruding pins or moving parts. The port going bad is something not even worth spending a second on.
 
I bought a Seneo charger from Amazon (there are countless others on there). It keeps my X vertical rather than flat like the pad type chargers, so I can still use it while it's charging and don't have to pick it up every time. At first, it didn't seem to be charging very fast...the phone would maybe go up 2% in 10 minutes, but it seems to be better now.
 
I am contemplating getting one. I don't know if I have a real need for it. I think it is cool, but not sure if it is needed. I have a Apple Watch Series 1 and my wife has a Series 3 so if we did get the Apple one, she can charge her 3 and I can charge my X at same time. But even then, not sure I would drop $200 for that.

Unless Apple surprises us with a cheaper starting price For the AirPower, I really only think it’s going to appeal to those two truly just want the product because it’s an ‘Apple product ‘or they have two or more devices that are compatible with the Airpower.
 
All the reviews say Samsung for something affordable. I use a charger off Amazon and it works with my carbon backed Element Case.
 
Wireless charging should be faster than what it is. Hopefully we’ll see an improvement in next years model
