Hi Sandy, Here is the link to the adapter on Amazon. It was about $13 US.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EKAC292/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The charging pad was about $11 US. Here is the link to that. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C40OG22/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C40OG22/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It isn’t the fast charging one, but I don’t feel the need to pay $60 for a fast charge if I’m just sitting here anyway. I do use bluetooth headphones because I don’t want to have to plug and unplug the adapter all the time.

What is the name and make of your wireless charger adapter? Thanks, Sandy sent from the dark side of the moon On 14 Sep 2017, at 22:23, Lois Butterfield <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, Because our new car has a charging pad, I started to research charging the IPhone wirelessly. I found that you can buy an adapter that plugs into the lightning port and sticks to the back of the phone to make your IPhone charge wirelessly. I use a Lifeproof Free case, and I can fit the phone along with the adapter into the case. I now have an IPhone that charges wirelessly. I love it. By the way, the wireless adapter costs way under $20, and you can get charging pads for just over $10.

Hi Chris, I don’t claim to understand this fully, but yes, currently the technology which charges devices wirelessly from a distance does not exist. Maybe it exists in labs and I can almost guaranty that Apple is probably working very hard on getting this to work, but for now wireless just means that you don’t have to plug in a wire. As for public spaces, I believe companies like Starbucks and so on have wireless charging pads built into tables so you could have your phone charging right next to you, obviously nobody would put their phone down on a charging pad and then go away and sit down 10 or 20 feet away. As for charging when you travel there is nothing which prevents you to do this just as you have always done it which means bring your Lightning cable and plug it in. However, when Apple releases their “Airpower” charger as they call it then for people who have an iPhone, an Apple Watch and maybe Airpods bringing this instead makes a lot of sense since it can charge all three devices by themselves or all three at once and of course as time goes by this may even include other devices which adopt the standard. As with everything once Apple adopts something, in this case the Chi wireless charging standard, they not only can pour a ton of money into it to make it better but accessory makers will also scramble to bring out a wide variety of devices to compliment it.

Hello folks, When I listened to the apple keynote, I did not quite understand the advantages of wireless charging. My understanding is that one needs to place the phone on a wireless charging pad or stand for it to charge. This is not remotely wireless charging. That means that we have to worry about more gadgets to carry when we travel. In addition to the adapter and the wire, we will need to also carry a pad or a stand for the wireless charging to work. I understood that if many public places provide wireless charging we would not have to worry about carrying our charging accessories. However, I am not sure I would like to place my phone on a charging pad in a restaurant or café, or in an airport terminal. Unless the wireless charging pad is on my table or on the arm of my chair, I would not use it. Can someone who is more familiar with this idea and process explain it better to me?
