It’s official: wireless is the way to go. In the last two years, things that we didn’t even think were possible to be made wireless shocked the world, and in a good way. From earphones to chargers, more brands are jumping into the wireless bandwagon with their products. The charger itself is plugged into a power outlet, but your phone doesn’t have to be hooked to it. With a wireless charger, you can lay your phone flat on top of it or prop it up when charging.
For those who own the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, charging your phones is easier than ever. Here are six of the best wireless chargers for the iPhone 8 and X:
