iPhone wireless charger – iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS and iPhone
These Qi wireless chargers (Best iPhone wireless charger) will power your new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max or iPhone XR. Since the launch of the iPhone X last year, wireless charging has become a great way to recharge an iPhone, without needing to connect a Lightning cable. Instead, the iPhone is placed on top of the charger, positioned in line with an embedded charging coil which transfers power to the iPhone’s battery. Though wired charging is faster, wireless charging offers more convenience, in that all you have to do to start the charging progress is to place the iPhone down on a surface. This also makes using an iPhone as a clock far easier, as there’s no fumbling to plug the cable in before falling asleep, nor to unplug it when waking up or needing to answer an important early morning call.

Is iPhone Qi charging compatible?
While the phones won’t ship with wireless chargers, the universal standard means you can buy third-party wireless chargers that will work with the iPhone 8, X and the new iPhone XS/XS Max and iPhone XR models.
To begin with, Apple’s iPhones were capable of 5W wireless charging, but with iOS 11.2 this increased to 7.5W. But that’s still not particularly fast, when you consider that wireless charging on Samsung phones can go up to 15W.
It’s important to note that not all wireless chargers come with a wall plug, which means that even if your iPhone and the wireless charging pad supports 7.5W or even 10W charging, you’ll need to use a more powerful wall plug than a 5W iPhone plug (like the 30W USB-C adapter from Apple – £49/$49).
Now that we’ve explained the technical stuff, let’s take a look at some of the best wireless chargers for iPhone.

Qi wireless charger buying guide
A good wireless charger should meet all of the following basic criteria, which you may used as guidelines.
WPC certification
Being certified by the WPC means that a charger has been tested and found to be both safe and in compliance with the Qi standard. If a wireless charger isn’t certified, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s unsafe or noncompliant, but choosing something that has been verified is prudent, so we considered only certified models.
Charging speed
The Qi 1.2 standard supports charging speeds of up to 15 watts (9 volts/1.67 amps), but 5 W and 7.5 W chargers are more common right now. Apple launched the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X with a 5 W charge rate but a December 2017 software update bumped the rate up to 7.5 W “high-speed wireless charging.” (Apple partners Belkin and Mophie each told us that only those device manufacturers that specifically partnered with Apple would be able to support this faster speed.) Samsung’s Galaxy S8 supports charging rates up to 9 W. With this in mind, we selected a range of chargers that supported different speeds to measure the real-world differences between them.
Power source
We preferred wireless chargers that used a standard connection—Micro-USB is the most common—and came bundled with an AC adapter. Proprietary connections are more difficult and expensive to replace, and you shouldn’t have to provide your own wall adapter. (Also, as with wired charging, the wall adapter matters: Lower-power adapters will result in slower charging speeds.)
Price
The most expensive charger we researched was $70, but many sell for $30 or less while offering similar performance.
Design
This criterion includes not only how the charging pad looks, but also how grippy its surface is for holding a phone in place, as well as any extras, such as charging-indicator lights.
Maker reputation
We considered models only from companies that we knew had a good reputation for warranty coverage and customer support. Even if a charger is WPC certified, there’s no guarantee it will never have a problem, and you want to be able to get help if you need it.
For the initial version of this guide, we tested five chargers that had generally positive owner reviews at the time of our research. We tested three more WPC-certified chargers for the latest update.
