    Best iPhone 8/X Charger

    • Written by Dennis B from Roslyn
    • 09-Nov-2018

    This is hands down the best charger for the iPhone. This charger will take an iPhone 8/X from dead to just about full in about an hour. for $20 this is a no-brainer to me. The bundled 5w charger with the iPhone would take a few hours in comparison. I had tested the 29w charger for the Fast Charging claim and this 12w charger does it almost equally as fast. Don't blow $50 on the expensive charger and just buy one or two of these 12w instead.

    Best charger available

    • Written by David C from Clio
    • 30-Oct-2018

    This charger puts out the cleanest DC voltage you will find in a wall charger. Apple went to great lengths to shield and smooth the 5v DC. Cheap chargers put out noisy dirty power that isn't stable. This charger puts out exactly what it says, 5v DC at 2 amps.

    Impressively fast charging

    • Written by Lyubomir N from Chicago
    • 03-Oct-2018

    I've been using this charger for about a week now and I have to say I'm very impressed. The 12W power adapter is charging about 2-3x quicker than the standard 5W charger. On the first day of using the charger I was able to charge an iPhone xs from 30% to 75% in 30 minutes or less.

    Disappointing

    • Written by John P from Crewe
    • 27-Sep-2018

    I bought this as I thought it would be better than the 10w charger that came with my iPad. It turns out it’s worse, when I’m trying to use and charge my iPad I actually lose battery life instead of gaining it. How is this possible, I could charge easily with the 10W? It feels like a waste of money.

    Very fast

    • Written by Balraj S from Montreal
    • 31-Jul-2018

    Much faster than the 5W charging adapter on iphone X
    i prefer this over the 30W charges unless you want to spend 60$ on charger and then extra on the wire which doesn't look like a good deal to me.

    Great charger

    • Written by Peter H from REDFERN
    • 31-May-2017

    Charges up my iPhone 7 Plus much faster than the iPhone charger.

    Don't listen to reviewers complaining that the unit gets hot - these people have no idea how a transformer works. Chargers always get hot, and the higher the wattage the hotter they get. There is nothing unsafe about this unit, at all.

    Miracle charger. Really. Charges even devices that failed to charge before.

    • Written by Razvan R from Bucharest
    • 07-Feb-2017

    I have a BlackBerry Passport that failed to charge for a few months now. I simply forgot about it as I use an iPhone. Today, I decide to try and charge it with the iPad charger. Guess what? It works. So does with the iPad, iPhone (a lot faster), Kindle and everything else. It is not a big deal, it is a wall charger but it is the best I've ever used. It is the kind of charger you want to buy extra just to have one around the house. And even if I have about a dozen USB chargers around the house, I primarily use this one. Apple, no matter what you do, don't kill this charger. I simply haven't found anything that works as good on the market. I can find third party cables, I can find docks but this is the only charger that also charges BlackBerry and I've tried many. I don't know how it does it but it simply works.

    It works for both your iPhone, iPad and doesn't give out too much voltage

    • Written by Joseph W from GRAPELAND
    • 06-Jan-2017

    I am able to use my Apple charger for my iPhone SE and iPad without too much voltage going to my iPhone or too much voltage going to my iPad when charging it. Meaning I like the product because I can use it for all of my Apple devices.

    Needs an adapter

    • Written by Dianne B from Murwillumbah
    • 29-Dec-2016

    This kit is not suitable for iPhone 7 chargers and this was not mentioned at point of sale. A $A29 adapter is needed as well and I didn't realise this until after I had looked inside the box. I just assumed that, if an adapter was needed, it would have been included in the kit. After all, it is called 'World Travel Adapter Kit' so one would assume all adapters would be included.

    Check your wall plug, not the charger

    • Written by Xavier J from Kansas city
    • 17-Nov-2016

    There DO are times when the charger gets hot, but it is probably the problem with the wall plug. When the connection isn't stable, there are little sparks that can heat the whole thing up. You might not notice, but using a external cable or a power strip will solve the problem. IF the problem stills, check your connection cord.
    I CAN BET SOMETHING IS WRONG, BUT PROBABLY NOT THE CHARGER, BECAUSE MINE WORK COMPLWETELY FINE. FOR 5+ YEARS.
    oh, USE YOUR COMMON SENCE OF WHERE YOU PUT THIS THING AND HOW YOU PLUG IT IN.
    Also, WallPlug AND Connection Cord needed to be checked.
    I am a Apple lover, and I trust its quality.

    I've gone through many of these chargers and I'm not alone. How can something so simple be so complicated to the worlds biggest and most successful tech companies? There is no excuse.
