No wireless charging?

• stephengillie 9y ago
  Wireless charging can't provide enough amps to actually charge newer Google devices. Nexus phones had them through the 5/7, but lost them with the 5x/6p. My Nexus 5 wall charger can't even push enough amps to charge my Nexus 5x. Edit: Does the new iPhone use the same wireless chargers as older phones? Can you use it with those Ikea lamps with wireless charging? Or does it use a different/less lossy transmission method?

    The new iPhones would like to file a disagreement with you. Sure, it's slower than a quick charger, but in a lot of cases you don't need a quick charge.

    Wait, then how is Apple able to use wireless charging for the new iPhone 8s and X?

    I wirelessly fast-charge my Samsung S7; I'm not sure where you got the idea that it doesn't work.

      Is your phone getting super hot while wireless charging?
      • xyzzy_plugh 9y ago
        Not any hotter than my Nexus 5 did. It gets about as hot wirelessly charging as wired.

        No, I've been using wireless charging every day for nearly two years (Samsung s6)

        Not at all. I even leave it in its case.
