The important thing about having the Qi charge in the new models of iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, is that we are not facing a proprietary charging system as happens in the Apple Watch Series 1 and 2, so Any charger that supports Qi technology will be able to perform this induction charging task.
In the case of Aukey we have a model available for some time this model is the Aukey LC-C1, which Add 3 coils that allow the user to load the device in a simple, practical and efficient way placing it on top of the base. The truth is that it is quite comfortable and it is true that having this type of charge available in the new iPhone was important for many users.
Box contents
The box of this Aukey Qi charger adds the essentials for your use except for the wall connector. You have to think that we are dealing with a charger with a reduced price and that obviously they only add what is necessary, the charger, the USB to micro USB cable for the charging base and nothing else. In most Qi chargers the wall connector is not added since the user is supposed to have the one from the smartphone itself, so it is not included in most of these types of chargers and Aukey does not add it either.
Design and construction materials
In this case we are facing a product with a simple but interesting design. It adds a perfect tilt so that the load of the iPhone or any other smartphone with Qi support can be placed horizontally or vertically. On the part of the coils we find the name of the brand and on the back the specifications of the charger together with the charging port for the micro-USB cable and the LED that indicates the operation of the charger at all times on a small rack with two holes at the rear.
The back is made of metal and gives the whole an elegant touch, the plastic part is true that it looks quite simple. At the point where the plastic touches the table, some small rubber bands are added so that it does not slip and in general we can say that it has simple but decent finishes.
Price
This is the most important or most prominent part of this type of charger and is that today we find many models and prices. Most offer the same and we have to choose more for the design that we like or for an important detail such as the possibility of using fast charging. In this case, the Aukey model does not have this fast charge, but it is no worse than the rest for that. The manufacturer himself advises use a 2A adapter for best charging results.
The price that we find right now in the store Amazon for this Qi charger from Aukey, so it is not bad compared to other similar products on the market. In the product description it does not specify that it is valid for the new iPhone models, but it has the Qi standard, so we do not have to have any problem with it.
