If you want to charge an iPhone wirelessly, the device must of course support this. Wondering which iPhones do this? We list them for you in this article.
Wireless Charging: These iPhones support it
To use a wireless charger with your iPhone, you must have a device that supports wireless charging. Fortunately, wireless charging is supported by the newer iPhones. If you are using an iPhone 7 or older, it is unfortunately not possible to charge your device without a cable. The following iPhones support wireless charging:
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone X
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
It is important that you use a Qi-certified charger. Qi is a universal standard for wireless charging and you will also find this in most wireless chargers. To charge wirelessly, connect the charger to a power source.
Then you simply place the iPhone with the screen up on the charger. Your iPhone makes contact with the charger by means of magnetic induction. Your iPhone lights up and starts charging. It may take a few seconds for charging to start.
Does not it work?
Does your iPhone support wireless charging, but nothing happens? Then try to move your device slightly so that it makes contact. In addition, nothing may lie between the charger and iPhone. Even if you have a slightly thicker case or a magnetic case, your iPhone may not be charging. Then first remove your cover. Also take your cards out of your iPhone cases, because the charger can damage the magnetic strip.
