Hi,
I was hoping someone who knows about the IPhone 8 would answer. I
don’t know if it charges wirelessly. If so, then you wouldn’t need an
adapter. I’m sure you could Google that question and get an answer.
I’' just don’t know. I haven’t paid attention since I don’t plan to
upgrade from my 7.
Take care,
Lois

Lois, I will be getting an 8 Plus. Will these work with the 8 Plus or
do I need another kind. Understand why you need an adapter for other
phones, but will I need the adapter with the 8 Plus. Thanks for any
help you or anyone else can give me with wireless charging. I know on
the apple roll out Belkin was mennameed, but this is much cheaper if
it works.

Hi Sandy,
Here is the link to the adapter on Amazon. It was about $13 US.

The charging pad was about $11 US. Here is the link to that.

It isn’t the fast charging one, but I don’t feel the need to pay $60
for a fast charge if I’m just sitting here anyway.
I do use bluetooth headphones because I don’t want to have to plug
and unplug the adapter all the time.
Take care,
Lois

You clever person! What is the name and make of your wireless charger

Hi,
Because our new car has a charging pad, I started to research
charging the IPhone wirelessly. I found that you can buy an adapter
that plugs into the lightning port and sticks to the back of the
phone to make your IPhone charge wirelessly.
I use a Lifeproof Free case, and I can fit the phone along with the
adapter into the case. I now have an IPhone that charges
wirelessly. I love it.
By the way, the wireless adapter costs way under $20, and you can
get charging pads for just over $10.
Take care,
Lois

Hi Chris,
I don’t claim to understand this fully, but yes, currently the
technology which charges devices wirelessly from a distance does not
exist. Maybe it exists in labs and I can almost guaranty that Apple
is probably working very hard on getting this to work, but for now
wireless just means that you don’t have to plug in a wire.
As for public spaces, I believe companies like Starbucks and so on
have wireless charging pads built into tables so you could have your
phone charging right next to you, obviously nobody would put their
phone down on a charging pad and then go away and sit down 10 or 20
feet away.
As for charging when you travel there is nothing which prevents you
to do this just as you have always done it which means bring your
Lightning cable and plug it in. However, when Apple releases their
“Airpower” charger as they call it then for people who have an
iPhone, an Apple Watch and maybe Airpods bringing this instead makes
a lot of sense since it can charge all three devices by themselves
or all three at once and of course as time goes by this may even
include other devices which adopt the standard.
As with everything once Apple adopts something, in this case the Chi
wireless charging standard, they not only can pour a ton of money
into it to make it better but accessory makers will also scramble to
bring out a wide variety of devices to compliment it.
Best regards,
Sieghard

Hello folks,
When I listened to the apple keynote, I did not quite understand the
advantages of wireless charging. My understanding is that one needs
to place the phone on a wireless charging pad or stand for it to
charge. This is not remotely wireless charging. That means that we
have to worry about more gadgets to carry when we travel. In
addition to the adapter and the wire, we will need to also carry a
pad or a stand for the wireless charging to work.
I understood that if many public places provide wireless charging we
would not have to worry about carrying our charging accessories.
However, I am not sure I would like to place my phone on a charging
pad in a restaurant or café, or in an airport terminal. Unless the
wireless charging pad is on my table or on the arm of my chair, I
would not use it.
Can someone who is more familiar with this idea and process explain
it better to me?
Cheers,
Cris
