Does the iPhone 8 Plus include a wireless charger?

Wirelesscharger

On my way home from the Apple store this coming Friday, I plan to charge my new iPhone 8 via the built-in wireless charger in my car. I’m eagerly looking forward to that.

I wonder if I can use my old note 7 wireless fast charger for my 8 plus?

If it's Qi Certified, sure.

Google it by model number and check specs.

So weird to see Apple following a standard (Qi certified).

The Samsung fast wireless chargers are Qi. Some of the non-fast chargers were Qi and others were PMA I believe.

Somewhere I read that the AirPower wasn't Qi though?

Re: Wirelesscharger

- I just ordered (2) - Turbot 3-Coil QI Wireless Charging Phone Stands. Took me a while to decide on which ones. Most don't come with either cables or adapters. Amazon has a lot on sale (as per post above) well under $20.

The wall charger brick part- which one should i use? the one that came with the phone or one like the iPad? I have a number of bricks around the house. Don't want to over or undercharge. I am new to the wireless charging world. I use the iPad one for my phone all the time-

Re: Wirelesscharger

From what I understand, in order to allow for fast charging (once the software update is released) a USB-C cable is needed and only a USB-A cable is included. So if buying a wireless charger, it needs to have a USB-C cable. I think the power rating (at least on some of the initial devices I've seen) is 7.5w. I believe the iPhone brick is less but maybe the iPad brick is that size?

Not necessarily thinking for fast charge. Thinking more the overnight variety. I just want to be safe. Not sure why they can’t charge more and include it.

I purchased new ones, I think it said a 2A charger.
