Wireless charging isn't ubiquitous quite yet, but since Apple adopted the Qi standard for the iPhones X, 8, and 8 Plus, it soon might be. If you can put your phone down for a few minutes to pick up some battery life while you pay for your coffee, there's no reason why you shouldn't do the same at home. RAVPower's HyperAir chargers deliver the fastest available charging speeds, which is 7.5W for Apple phones and 10W for Samsung ones. They also look much nicer than many other charging pads, which is a factor if you're setting it out on a counter and not tucking it into a drawer. Finally, they include a Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 adapter, which many cheaper chargers will require you to buy separately.
RAVPower's HyperAir charging pad has a soft, rubber top to hold your phone on. It also has only one LED, so that you can place it on your bedside table without having to stare at a huge, glowing ring all night. The list price is $40, but you can get $12 off with the code WIRED034 through May 31st. Buy the RavPower HyperAir charging pad for $28 (was $40).
Or you may prefer to prop your phone up in portrait mode so you can FaceTime your mom while semi-recumbent. In that case, you'll want to future-proof your home charging with the RAVPower charging stand, which is $8 off the list price with code WIRED069. Buy the RavPower HyperAir charging stand for $38 (was $46).
