If you want our recommendation
These are all great wireless chargers that fit a variety of needs, but which all help make your life just a little bit easier. It might seem like a little thing, but there’s something great about being able to just pick up your iPhone off of a charging pad and go and put it back there when you return. Having used it for almost a year, I’m personally very fond of the Mophie Wireless Charge Pad, which is easy to use and keeps my iPhone secure in its place.
If you want a more portable option, check out the RAVPower External Wireless Battery, which combines excellent capacity with the ability to charge without plugging it in, making it perfect to throw in your bag for a quick weekend trip.
