Apple fans rejoice! The all new iPhones can charge wirelessly using the latest Qi wireless standards. Qi Wireless Charging uses a resonant inductive coupling between the sender (the charging station) and the receiver (the mobile device). Basically, set your iPhone down on a compatible charger and it will magically recharge without having to plug it in. While you’ve been trained over the past 10 years to plug-in your iPhone, you no longer need to do it. You no longer have to worry about pocket lint jamming your Lightning port, and you can listen to music with Lightning headphones while your iPhone sits on the charging stand. Luckily, Qi wireless charging has been around for several years for Android smartphones. That means there are plenty of trusted options for your new iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. These are from trusted brands that we use on a regular basis with our Androids and can highly recommend them for the new iPhones.
Let’s check them out below.
