"I got a Belkin wireless charger for my iPhone X and I love it. Wireless charging, in general, is just better and much more convenient compared to physically plugging a cable into your phone.
"That said, wireless chargers could be better. Most wireless chargers out there have a relatively small surface area, are somewhat finicky (even the Belkin charger won't charge the phone unless it's precisely in the middle of the pad), and can't accommodate charging multiple gadgets. Apple's AirPower, announced in 2017 but coming in 2018, sounds like it solves all of these problems, and will be the ideal way to charge all of your Apple devices, including your iPhone, Watch, and AirPods, at once.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how AirPower prioritizes charging multiple gadgets at the same time, but I'm more excited about the implications of Apple making a wireless charger. Hopefully this will encourage competition in the space, create a proliferation of wireless chargers everywhere, and maybe even spark some innovation in the battery and wireless-charging space."
