Charging for me is a non stop process of plug and unplug everywhere I go. for this reason I have lightning cables all over the place, on my desk, bed, office, in the car, etc. But now with my latest iPhone upgrade from the 7 to the XS I finally get to play with the wireless charging option, no more plugging and unplugging, no more wearing out cables and buying more and more replacements only for them to wear out, with wireless there is nothing to wear out, just place it down and enjoy it!

Thoughts
- Pros :
- Fastest charging rate possible for the iPhone XS
- Works with all Qi devices
- Small and compact
- sleek and modern looking
- nothing to wear out
- perfect for overnight charging
- Cons
- Rounded design makes it wobbly sometimes
- single coil design leaves me hunting for the “sweet” spot at times
- MicroUSB input is worst of small USB connectors, wish it was USB-C
- I also own a similar charge with same model number but it is only 5W, make sure you get the newer 10w model to maximize charge rates
- iPhone only can charge up to like 8w

The charger is identical to an older model i have with the same model name, but it only 5w and doesn’t support the 9V input that this model does so that can be a little confusing at times. otherwise its a great simple and affordable wireless charger that works perfect for my XS.
for $16.99 on Amazon this is a great price and alternative to replacing countless lightning cables
