- geddy 8y agoThis is a great question, not stupid at all! There are tons of people with devices reading for wireless charging that are now going to be looking elsewhere, now that this has officially been declared dead. Just got my wife an Apple Watch and I was telling her about how cool the AirPower product would be... yesterday. Gotta break the news to her when she gets home.
- jzl 8y agoAlmost impossible to answer due to the rapidly evolving space. But in short: something on Amazon probably made in China that has good reviews that don't seem faked (or at least less faked than others!). What's especially confusing are all the different supported wattages between iPhone and Android models. iPhones started at 5W, but upped to 7.5W with iOS 11. Some big Android phones support 10. Some chargers support 5 & 10 but not 7.5. So for an iPhone you want to be sure to get one that explicitly supports 7.5. I bought one about 6 months ago that I've been very happy with. As described, a no-name Chinese brand on Amazon. There are a ton of dual Qi + Watch chargers (or at least with a bracket for the watch charger), but not sure how Airpods will fit into the mix. I'm sure a ton will be coming soon.
