Charging your iPhone wirelessly is easier than plugging a cable into your Lightning port. The iPhone 8 and newer (including the iPhone XS and iPhone XR) support the Qi standard, which offers contact-based "wireless" charging. Qi charging has been around for a few years, so users have a wide variety of options. Whether you want a simple disc that gets the job done or something with a bit more going on, these are the best wireless charging pads you can buy.
Reminder: Don't put credit cards between your wireless charger and your iPhone unless you want them to become inoperable.
Minimalist
Mophie Wireless Charging Base for iPhone
Staff Favorite
The Mophie Wireless charging base is a nightstand-friendly small black disc. Its top is covered in a non-slip coating, keeping your iPhone from sliding off your table if you don't quite toss it down at the right angle. (Editor's note: don't toss your iPhone). It supports 7.5W iPhone fast charging, and it does so better than all the other models we've tested.

Rugged
Nomad Base Station Hub Edition
Are you worried about the "sweet spot?" Don't: the Nomad Base Station Hub Edition will charge up your iPhone no matter how you toss it. If it lands vertical to the charging pad, you're good. If it lands horizontal, that's good, too. That's not all; it charges up to four devices simultaneously because it also has a USB-A and USB-C port on the side.
Upright Design
Anker PowerWave Stand
Like the PowerWave Pad, this upright wireless charging dock has an internal cooling system to keep your iPhone cool while it charges. This design facilitates a faster charge, so you won't have to wait forever for a full battery. On top of that, it supports iPhone 7.5W fast charging. Zoom Zoom.
