How to choose a wireless charger for ( iPhone 8 / iPhone X)

One of the biggest changes in Apple’s new iPhones is the long-awaited addition of wireless charging. Wireless charging has been around for years at this point, which has left time for a large ecosystem of accessories to build up.

  so getting a wireless charger for your iPhone 8 or iPhone X is actually pretty easy and pretty cheap.

Apple will be eventually releasing its own wireless charger, called AirPower, but it’s not set to release until sometime next year. If you want to be able to charge an iPhone 8 or iPhone X sooner, you’ll need a third party alternative

  This may seem obvious, but there are a couple other wireless charging standards out there, so make sure whatever you pick up supports the Qi standard.

 The iPhone X and iPhone 8 are designed to charge at a maximum speed of 7.5W

  By the same vein, check to see if your charging pad actually comes with a wall adapter. If you’re expected to provide your own, make sure that it can provide enough wattage to charge at full speed

  A wireless charging pad is still a charger, and when it comes to anything that passes electrical current through your $699–$999 smartphone, you’ll want to be extra sure that nothing is going to get accidentally fried. When in doubt

 There are a bunch of styles of wireless chargers, some big, some small, some flat, and some that charge your phone at an angle

  The iPhone 8 and iPhone X only support up to 7.5W for fast charging, but the latest Qi 1.2 standard actually offers up to 15W for compatible devices  like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8
