While we're talking charging pads, I have two and have trouble getting them to work. I can put my iPhone 8 Plus on the pad, but often experienced issues where the phone would not completely charge through the night. After a few times of trying, I gave up and went back to the Belkin Rock Star and wired charger during the week. I have put my phone in the center of the pad like you're supposed to do, but something happens over night, perhaps the phone is getting bumped on my side table, and I wake up and find that it is still at 25% or 37%, or whatever it was when I put it on the charger the night before.
